Thankfully, your toilet does not take 1000 years to digest whatever falls into it.

Current fps controls are the equivalent of duct taping a gun and a set of prosthetic arms to your head, and aiming by moving your head. While this works for a controller or a mouse, it's not ideal for vr. You feel like you are in the game, so you naturally want to be able to move your head independently from your arms.

They play games for 20 hours a week and spend 10 hours engaging with gaming media.

I get into gaming funks often, and sometimes they can be very long, extended gaming funks. We'll call it Chronic Gaming Funkitis.

Because us poor people keep trying to edge in on their action with our entitlements like health care and living wages and such. Ain't nobody got time for that!

That's kinda sad. Probably won't last very long.

With some sim racing games, it helps, yes. Those who were invited to enter real races after performing particularly well in GT5 proved to be a bit too good for the class they were supposed to race in, considering they had no real experience.

Yeah, I had that book firmly in mind here. I still think it's the way to go. There's more to the gaming experience than just pixels on a screen, and sometimes that experience just isn't possible anymore. Try to find an arcade in the US that isn't a movie theater or a Chuckie Cheese anymore. Whole generations will

I've got to throw my hat into the Wind Waker ring if we're voting on the prettiest Zelda game. Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword might have upped the graphical ante a bit, but Wind Waker's visuals are timeless in a way that other Zelda game's can't touch. There's a reason Nintendo decided to remake Wind Waker in

While I applaud the efforts of these people who put classic games into VR, I don't think this will be the future of how we use VR to play classic games. While playing Zelda from first person is kind of neat, that's not really how the game was meant to be played.

So what's the difference between the G500s and the regular G500, which I own? Is it smaller? Higher DPI? Maybe it's just the nifty design?

I look forward to AI advancements that allow your virtual mother to yell at you angrily for tracking mud through the house.

I'm slowly coming around to, if not loving, maybe accepting Windows 8.1 for what it is. I wouldn't call it a train wreck, and there's a lot about it that I would change, but overall it's actually a decent operating system. It's fast, capable, and attractive. I'm okay with it now.

Did you know that there's a guy who's currently busy reverse engineering Daggerfall from the assembly code into C++? Once this this done, he'll actually fix bugs that were present in the original game, then allow things to expand, with better graphics and hefty modding support.

I've always wanted to build a PC that mounts to the wall behind plexi-glass, components spread out for all to see.

As a adult with responsibilities, I am able to manage my love of JRPGs, and indeed my gaming lifestyle in general by simply surrounding myself with people who love games.

I might just pick it up then.

Yes please. Do "How I Do The Steam."

Farsighted people actually have no problem with the Rift, because while the screens may be close to your face, the lenses focus the image as though it were far away. But this means that nearsighted people (Like me.) could have a problem.

I always thought a movie like The Godfather would work well through the Rift, if filmed for it.
