How is it completely beside the point? We were talking about whether or not the product was made for a niche market. If it has applications in other fields, then obviously it's not.

Lol because societal pressures cause all women to react by spending over 100k on plastic surgery right? You're so thick. Even the girl herself admits it's fueled by childhood trauma and not societal pressures...

Haha that was awesome. "I don't even like space cabbage!"

Not at all. While I certainly think it will be popular with a certain group of gamers, and I don't think it will be "mainstream", I can't honestly say it falls into a niche market considering that even beyond the realm of gamers it's garnering attention. Hell, people in the field of teleprescence are excited about it…

Agreed, but to it's credit I'm sure it was designed to be a "tour" type game and not something you could play at home lol. But I really like the idea. They could do something like this with other instruments as well, that'd be cool. Overall though, I really like the concept. I'd go to this if was coming to my city…

Alright. Legit. I just thought that the way you explained it the first time was odd haha. I personally don't care for the guy either, just because he's proven how irresponsible he can be, unless his story is true... But I am proud of College Humor for helping a fellow out, even if there were ulterior motives. But when…

I have no idea what you are rambling about, honestly.

That's the thing, there ARE better terms to use. Sensory deprivation is when your senses are deprived to the point of causing autonomous hallucinations. But that's beyond the point anyhow considering it's not dangerous unless the user is a danger to himself and/or others.

I'm not trying to be a total douchebag, but what use could a child whom is dying of cancer have for that money? I'm not trying to be super hateable here, but what makes some kid with cancer any better than the hundreds of other dying children around the world?

Uh, it's not sensory deprivation if you're actually watching a screen. For that term to make any sense, you'd need to have your senses actually you know, deprived.

I didn't say they weren't exceptions. I said that the way 5th Cell went about it disqualifies it from falling under either of those exceptions. Had you read, you'd have known that. It's not a parody when they use the exact look of a character and it's name. It's not fair use when it's in a video game, for profit. And…

No, no they don't. They're copyrighted properties. End of story.

Lol. Uh, maybe from Beta what you are saying would make sense, but from Alpha it really doesn't. Essentially every game changes quite a bit from Alpha -> Release. The BASICS are usually there, but many additions have changed. Not all drastically change, but many changes are made to improve things, because if they…

Lol judging a game in alpha is sort of pointless though. Once it's fully released make damning judgements atleast rofl.

Lol. I don't care if Time chooses to use a word incorrectly or not. That doesn't make it right. Look up the definition. Distraction, rather than sensory deprivation, is a more fitting term, but it's all about responsibility and being aware of your surroundings. Another thing is, this is a headset FOR YOUR HOME. You…

That's already been done (sorta) in the sci-fi form of Starforge. It's pretty much exactly what you've described, and I don't think they're millionaire's yet (or it would have a much larger team and be out of alpha)

Uh, sensory deprivation? Don't your senses need to actually be deprived for that to occur? And sure, using them in the confines of your own home (like 99% of people would do, considering that's where they game) is certainly rude. You seriously have no clue.. You're just pulling stuff out of your ass at this point.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but either way, what you said is untrue. My point was that if your argument as to why the OR won't become a mainstream product is because it will cause a disconnect in people's family lives (as the product is "anti-social" which I think could be construed as true, albeit…

If you're implying that wearing a headset whilst gaming for a reasonable amount of time will somehow disconnect you from your family or "completely cut you off" (and I'm assuming you're speaking emotionally in some way, because if you're strictly speaking about a physical disconnect then you are obviously clueless)…

Exactly. I watched a few videos before pre-purchasing it, and honestly I was a bit uncomfortable with how chaotic the gameplay seemed. I couldn't really get a grip on what I was even watching lol. But I thought it sounded really cool, and bought it anyhow.
