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.

If its made like a beer with beer ingredients then yeah. I also never heard of Genesee which may be a good thing.

Hard mode with Reflex mode off is pretty sweet. Very limit margin for errors. Not even a small 1 second pause to give you even a slight chance for taking cover. The guards may still be retarded but at least they can see so much better. Edit: Their range is bumped up considerably to what normal people should have...

The good becomes Jesus 2.0 and the stupid becomes mentally retarded.

I didn't expect much (Green bottle should be enough to warn me) but god damn this Italian beer is awful. I think I prefer Tsingtao to this even then though the differences between the two aren't much. Hell, I might prefer even Corona and that is perhaps the cheapest made beer possible. Peroni's Nastro Azzurro by the way.

I just love how the internet in general reacts to chopsticks... does it really confound people that much that people uses chopsticks and can use them efficiently? And yes, eating food with ones hand is fine too. I may poke fun at it but you'll see me gladly devour food with my hands.

No, it makes Ethan the worst person here.

We play as Chewie. Edit: I also will buy it eventually. Its way too novel to not to. Speaking of which, I need Tokyo Jungle.

So does this make Ethan the first one here to own all three consoles?

Ugh... don't lose you way. Preorder for way later this year so I can cancel it if I want.

The limited video file playback kind of neutered it, especially with MVK files. Kind of the main reason why I connected my PC to my TV which completely sidesteps the issue. In the future, I might not have the luxury unless I get a dedicated computer for it.
