Seriously, though: The people who are into this, the people who are into the Oculus and the people who are into Google Glass are all going to wake up one day with a throbbing pain in their temple and no memory of the past 12 hours to find they've been drugged and transported to a small jungle island studded with…

BWAHAHANo. Pretty sure that video game VR remains, quite firmly and permanently, a joke.

Y'see, you clearly think what you're saying is *funny* when it fact it is actually *true*. Most games are terrible. And I'm not talking about Disney Horse Adventure—I mean Skyrim and Watch Dogs and Titanfall. Because really, if I were to kidnap 10 random game developers and shackle them to the floor of a room,…

Ugh. Will no one ever shut up with the "do assassin's creed in medieval Japan"!? Listen: That game you're describing? It's been released 30 times already. It was called Ninja Gaiden. And Red Ninja. And Tenchu. And Mark of the Ninja. And Shinobido. Here, look up some more for yourself:

I prefer that all forms at least mildly arouse.

Have you heard the theory that Superman actually has a neck-to-toes blue tattoo, with an added "S" on his chest?

I want to see women wearing bikini armor. I quite like being sexually aroused. It is a pleasurable state and I prefer pleasure to the alternative. I prefer things that are visually interesting rather than ones that are not.

Oh noes!! The latest re-skin of The Game Where You Bounce Around An Urban Environment and Kill People will fail to deliver a meaningless little fraction of graphical improvement!

Somebody is going to drop their Oculus Rift. The casing will crack open and it will be revealed that inside is a Nintendo Virtua Boy.

That probably sounded smarter to you than it did to anyone else.

I know Wildstar is supposed to be a cartoon-y, over-the-top-styled game and that's fine.

2nd and last seem to support rather than contradict my theory.

Just in the past 2 months, a LOT of old tech went out the door via Amazon and Ebay for me. My PS1 and all it's games, my PS2 and all it's games, my PSP and all it's games, my Xbox and it's one remaining game (Dragon Age, if you must know), my 2008-era desktop's remaining components, my iPhone 3G. All that's left from…

I dunno, seems to me like all that's for sale outside the independents is 25 re-skins of "Creep around an urban environment and kill people."

There are several categories that are becoming more and more parodies of themselves:

'Cause kendo is a sport, not a form of warfare?

Yeah . . . we've played this game already. It was called Dishonored. And Thief. And Watch Dogs. And Assassins Creed. And Assassins Creed 2. And 3. And 4. And Infamous. And Mass Effect. And Uncharted. And Sleeping Dogs. And Prince of Persia.

WOW but does that guy in the image look like a tool. My impulse is to take off my shoes, walk into the office very quietly, steal *every frickin' thing of value*, and leave.

Very cool art-wise. But concept wise, y'see . . . my issue with this stuff is that I don't think our real future will consist of enormous war machines or war vehicles. Oh there'll be war, make no mistake. But it'll consist increasingly of little robot drones (either purpose-built or just modified quadrotors that'll…

Be like that situation in London where that new glass tower acts as a parabolic mirror that can melt a car:
