So I've been tired of Pokemon. Mucho tired...like slogging through the Sahara with a camelbak water pack tired. I've been playing since R/B on the Gameboy. I've played practically everything - even had a retail copy of Green for the game boy. Upgraded along the way - I bought a copy of Gold...
My first exam is on Weds. I do not want to start working on it (it's a 3 hour essay question about multiculturalism in Canada), and I rather pound my head into my keyboard repeatedly.
My parents arrived at 9:43 am this morning. Stupid, stupid, because they decided that they would arrive at...
I'm in second year of uni, and my department uses APA 5th or 6th edition. It took me about 1 year to relearn the APA format, but I got it down by the 4th essay. Not a big deal - but however, I'm taking an elective, and it happens to be first year. When it came to doing the first written...
Day 1 - didn't do anything that day, just sat around and played with Phantasy Star Zero.
Day 2 - more of the same - my RAcastseal is level 26 now. I have a lot of junk on the character, and will probably start a new mag. No studying today, just checked on exam schedule.
Day 3 - They moved up...
This was during the summer, and I picked up this cute girl from the place I was working at (a florist). As we got to know each other, we found out our respective love for video games. One day, she picks me up for a spontanous date at her place, and she decided to pick up Mario Kart Wii. We...
Well, that was the dumbest way to develop a story. In one of the missions, you find out that Newmans are afflicted with an all-powerful deity called Mother Trinity. At the end of that mission, typical anime drama - one of the supporting characters gives himself to the enemy and you are...
My girlfriend and I are both from different "gaming circles". I grew up with portables (gameboy, game gear, GBA, gbc, NDS), only deviating to buy an SNES and Ultimate MK3. The girlfriend grew up in the age of Atari/Colevision, and in fact, she has a working Colevision with the Atari expansion...
Slightly peeved today. Got woken up at 9 o'clock by roommate above me making with the bang bang music. Seriously, it's just before exams, why waste your time with an one night stand? I barely have time to piss, let alone have sex with my girlfriend!
On another weird note, I've been making...
We all date *people* who are different types. But we have a preference to whom we might date. This is our "type" - for example, I like to date women who are fairly butch, yet retain a bit of femme behaviour. I also tend to favour intellectuals. (I'm a lesbian, by the way.)
For games, I tend...
So, this happened to me this semester. I'm taking therapeutic recreation, and my professors are amazingly energetic. I'm taking a recreation programming course (simple and easy), and the professor is about five months pregnant (and pissy).
I'm in her class, listening to music on my Acekard...

VR had the chance to integrate with existing games and tech but VR companies said "NO, I WANT MY SHIT TO BE STANDALONE AND MY GAMES EXCLUSIVE TO FACEBOOK"+2 -

Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.+2

The tech isn't there for affordable power enough VR headsets at a good market value yet sadly, oculus had a good idea but didn't have enough funds for marketing iirc+1 -

Veho:
But now it's "can I use my VR set with my racing games, that would be neat?" "ONLY IF YOU USE OUR DILDOSTICK CONTROLLERS AND RUN THE GAME ON OUR ANDROID-UNDERPOWERED BRICK"+2

Veho:
The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.+1

These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs+2

If we're talking AAA titles a vr headset would be priced at nearly the same cost as a midrange gaming pc maybe even double+2

I think they should bring back the shutter glasses for VR put 120Hz screen in for 60FPS and even a basic phone these days can pull that off
