1. Did you know science fiction was exploring virtual reality as early as the 1930s?

2. I miss terribly when oculus wasn't owned by facebook.

3. I really liked A Maze of Death- especially that ambiguous ending.

4. Certified Matt Prime has sent me… again.

5. I really hope Oculus bankrupts, and VR fad dies, again, and then, on it's crappy ashes of it's crappy games, we can start building proper holodecks.

6. Who here agrees that John Carmac is a genius?

7. It’s like a video telling you the dangers of cocaine, brought to you by Pablo Escobar.

11. Here's an extremely niche "let's make VR accessible" problem that impacts me: I can't use a VR headset because I am too blind…technically my glasses are for distance, but the "distance" at which I stop being able to see clearly is about two inches from my eyeballs, so without my glasses I can't see the screen clearly because it's too far away and with my glasses I can't wear the thing on my head. Sucks to be me.

12. Insert Extra Credit
    Ready Player One

13. So, this basically isekai

14. Vive. Is. Better.

15. 4:09 extra credits said wlw rights

16. Would the chronicles of narnia count as virtual reality? Since the Pevensies are aware of our world and Narnia? And Polly and diggory visit other worlds besides narnia too.

17. I miss the old high pitched voice

18. I’ve been in a shopping centre where they have a vr booth where you put on a headset a armour plate and gloves and walk around picking stuff up etc it was really short but cool and this week I bought a oculus go and I’m very impressed

19. Uncle Enzo would approve of this video. Hopefully people will watch it and understand Ready Player One and the Takeshi Kovacs books are not actually that great.

20. What about Kurt Lasswitz' "On a soap bubble"?

21. Sao

22. This reminds me of the ending to Minecraft. As a 14-year-old, that ending fucked with me a little bit.

23. 1:41 Anyone else notice that it's the elf talking about the DM like they were fiction instead of the other way around?

    I don't think that elf is telling a very interesting story, being totally honest.

24. "We can't talk about this book because we might spoil it for you" we're on YouTube my dude you aren't spoiling anything for anyone here I assure you

25. As with all of Pkd's work, your description has more to do with the points you want to make then what he actually wrote.

26. You send me

27. What a Dick
