They tried to close the loop but I'm not sure on how well they did on that part.

I've heard its pretty shit, sadly, but you should always take what the internet says with some grains of salt.

The wild ride has ended... until the OVA which could be anything really. Next week... Mushishi!

He pushed some retarded legislation some of which he heavily contradicted. Kind of on the level of some diehard Republicans being homosexual (I think anyways). On regards on his seat... I'll be surprised if the Republicans can secure a seat for that location. Also can Feinstein just... mold away or something. Please. Wasn't this posted... somewhere on here yesterday? Not that I recall.

Historically, it has been $2 lower on Amazon, not sure about the Best Buy deal ($25 if I recall?) a while back but yeah, it is enough for me to bite.

In complete opposite fashion to Bear Simulator... we'll get this where shit happens to a goat.

Animals as Leaders released a new album a few days back. I finally got around to getting it.

It taught me to not give a fuck about ultimate weapons. What matters is the boss fights and I can just as easily beat them with a weapon a tier or two lower.

That was the part that confused me the most. For social/communication uses, they cannot get around the fact that people will have a goggle on. If they want to pull off 3D without making most people sick (And just plain physics), the form factor will have to be a goggle at the bare minimum. This is also before the fact that they would have to make a 3D camera that will shoot a high enough resolution and all that to make it work with VR. A good deal of people are wary as hell about cameras now (Have you seen people taping over laptop cameras?). Lets also not forget the abysmal internet connections we have around the US and elsewhere. A bet people can easily blow any internet caps they have with a communication OR setup. If it goes south, it would be for the above reasons. Oculus should more or less have free reign for now since they are the industry leaders and know what they are doing (Not to say that management won't come knocking). It would be foolish to mess around with it right now. On a side note.. I am wondering what the folks at Valve are thinking right now. They helped the Oculus folks to solve some of their problems. It'll still be quite nurtured since it is tied to the PS4. The specs for Morpheus would have to be bumped up to levels where the PS4 cannot reach if it goes officially PC-compatible. Regardless, I bet people will do port it to PC anyways (Think of the Wii-mote and the Kinect). My fear for the Morpheus is that it would be half-assed VR.

That is why even though I am an optimist, I am also very cautious about this. I loath Facebook (Hell, I dropped it out of my life) but there is a dash to do VR right. Facebook is looking for a slice of that pie and they got it by purchasing the leading contender of this race. I don't think they'll run it to the ground. They want to have that tech and all that comes with it under their umbrella. At the worst we'll see a less than spectacular product by Oculus Facebook (Who will act more like Google or Microsoft) but it may led to a subtle change which then cascades into something akin to the cell/smart phone. It can also be way subtle like for me, the netbook to something like the Surface or T100 I have. A netbook was a half baked idea which to me evolved into concepts like the Surface or T100. As a consumer who want a VR headset, this is an interesting twist and by no means that VR will die (Though it can, kind of like motion controls [Fuck Kinect]). @FDS Since you just replied, I'll keep it short. Again, this is a gamble for a possible future. In that conference call, the investors also had the same concerns. This future that Oculus and Mark envision may never materialize but who knows at this point. They're talking in terms of 3, 5 and 10 years.

https://soundcloud.com/highway62/internal-facebook-conference From what I have read and listen... I don't quite understand how communication thing will work. By the way they are talking, they're talking about person to person communications as well? How the hell is that pose to work if you two are wearing OR-like devices? It would also require a 3D camera. All the other uses... yes, I can see it being a thing. It however can only be a thing if the adoption rate is high enough due to number of users and what the users use it for. In a way, Oculus is willing to smear their name into the mud if it means that VR will be a norm in the future. Facebook as a whole has enough people and clout to make it reality. Just being a gaming accessory will most likely not make it stick. Yes, it is worrisome that it got acquired by Facebook but between being just a small thing and being a norm... I too would be willing to smear the company image if it means that this new norm will take root.

Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea Part 2 This was way better. It also in ways wrapped up the entire Bioshock universe. Kind of weak but that "Ace in the hole".

http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/21cy9n/the_future_of_vr/ Palmer comments on this purchase... From my perspective, the OR was a wonderful tool that wasn't tied to some service or outside company. Sure it may have worked with some companies but it wasn't ever completely tied to anyone. Now it is tied to Facebook which makes me and tons of other people worried. I've been fed with a lot of BS promises in the past to 100% believe that the OR will be unhindered or un-manipulated. On the grand schemes of things however, this might be a good thing for VR. The OR may die or fizzle out but VR may thrive. This may make the concept stick around this time.

Only at some parts do I recall bad textures on the PC. Some of the doors are quite bad if even I noted it on my recent playthrough.

FYI, Episode 2 launched today. So far... its pretty good and kind of explains the shit that went down in Episode 1. You will remember how it is to be helpless against a Big Daddy.

This is a cool application for the Oculus. If I could I would pull off virtual field trips and su

Its currently sitting at $15 but I'm not sure if that is the reduced price. Though I could bite on that but if it is reduced even closer to $10 then it would be better.

A Shinkai piece that might not depress the hell out of me? I'll take it. Warm my heart Shinkai. Make me believe that someday I'll cross roads with with someone. Also here's an album regarding how Shinkai and his studio works. The final images are related to Cross Roads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9kA4UZA5kM Gundam Unicorn later this spring.... Gundam Origin slated for next year. Can't wait. There is also another new Gundam series but eh... we'll see how that goes. It's on a separate timeline from anything that has been released so far. What else... oh yeah. This was leaked a while back. So yeah, it is happening. It was dead for a while but it is happening.
