  1. I saw a lot of people asking so I just want to clarify:

    Cartoon Skooch is visiting family for the holidays which is why he isn't in this episode. I'm a tough boss but a fair one, he'll be back soon enough.

  2. i remember when i first experienced VR, the vive and the oculus had been on the market for a little bit maybe a year or two and a EBgames had a test unite set up and trying it honestly felt like a dream come true, i grew up in the 21st century so technology seems normal to me, i had a phone at 14 and an ipod touch before that so the internet also is just normal to me, i've tried to understand what these inventions must have been like and how amazing it must have been to first experience a completely new technology for the first time. Could it be life changing? Would it be amazing despite being rough around the edges? i honestly often wondered what it would be like, cars, planes, boats, lights, phones, and even the tools i use today, i wonder how revolutionary things like those must have felt when they first came around but when they have been a part of your whole life they just feel normal. so when something from movies i watched growing up as a kid like spykids 3, or as i matured seeing them in stuff like sword art or tron they seemed like a fantasy, so when we got a wii for christmas i was so excited it's hard to put it into words, it wasn't what i hoped for but i still loved it, then the xbox connect and same story, but then that EBgames display showed me it wasnt a fantasy it was to me, a kid to whom every revolutionary thing we had made was just normal, it was something new, something i wondered if would ever be real. not something that was real long before me.

  3. So, I don't know if this is really relevant to talk about, I always find it an entirely foreign concept that people mistake VR for real life. Like the other day in vrchat a guy was warning others who were thinking of getting VR to be careful because he himself has mistaken VIRTUAL stairs as real and tried to step on them…

    It's VRChat, stairs aren't that realistic, so it feels really weird to hear someone say they actually tried to step on them.

  4. I really do think vr is the future of gaming. It’s hard to truly explain but conversations on there feel so genuine. And everyone always talks. It’s just so damn social it’s amazing, every game is completely populated with mics

  5. If you like VR and want it to succeed, don't leave negative reviews on the bad games. Please realize how young and fragile this market niche is. There are only a couple of developers actually making money.

  7. Great video, but it forgot to mention the Forte VFX1 from 1995, it had full head tracking and a 3d mouse for $900. Resolution was bad but this was ahead of its time.

  8. It's also got the potential to further ruin society. I say this as someone who has and uses a Quest 2. I'm a hypocrite. But I'm also not wrong.

  9. I remember the 1st time I played the Virtuality Robot area game Exorex (although I'm sure it had a different name) in the arcade and was totally unimpressed. I had watched the screens of the games being played (just 2D monitors) and it looked so amazing so I paid to have a go (can't remember how much, but it was expensive). The problem was the game was starting so I had to just jump in and start shooting…..it was a disaster. About a week later I was in the area again and decided to give it one last try. This time I waited for the previous game to finish before starting. Sit in the cockpit, get settled, put on the headset and adjust (that was new) and the bit that actually made a difference give your eyes time to adjust, wow it really is 3D! this time it was not a disaster it was amazing and everything I thought it would be. After that one time of getting use to the 3D I guess my brain/eyes were ready for the adjustment as I didn't require the time to adjust. When I got my Rift S it put a smile on my face remembering being 21 again.

  10. Had the quest 1, sold it again and then got the quest 2. Used them both a lot in the beginning and then less and less until they just lay around. Can't really game in bed, sitting also sucks, and you cant stand too long, especially after work. Kids might can, I can't

  11. So you made an almost 30 minute review of VR to basically ramble through some history and then tell people that some games are good, just look at the reviews before buying? Ok, you're on my blocklist for this bullshit.

  12. I used to love VR and played it for many years but about 2 months ago i put up the headset for the last time. VR has gotten stale and unchanging. I don't have the money to pump into new VR equipment while also upgrading my computer. It's just to much money for to little return. I was really hoping Bone-Labs was going to be my last Hope to maybe hold on and keep fighting. Sadly they let me down with lack of story and just fun game play. Sure the game looked good and at the start felt like a dream come true but as the rose glasses started to break i to broke. This was the last straw. The last game I'll ever play. The last time I'll put on the mask. Goodbye VR.

  13. John Carmack has been trying to convince facebook of investing in more affordable vr technology but the metaverse is sooooooo important that he just quit in the end

  14. NGL I can hardly take this seriously or watch with how many tangents for jokes he goes on and no offense but like bruh how do you get exhausted after 30 minutes
