Finally got around to playing Minecraft VR on my OR. shyt is really immersive (I'm playing the "motion sickness" immersion way). It's like you're really in the game. :wow:

you played the official win10 version? ViveCraft is dope, but I think it only works with the java version. you can use a controller with ViveCraft, but with the motion controllers you have the option of actually swinging your arm to swing your axe/sword/etc

shyt really does feel like one of the most complete VR games. my gf's kid had a blast playing. he too p*ssy for survival mode though

i'm not gonna be jumping on the VR wave for a while.
it sounds like they finally got it to the point where it is in the ballpark or where it should be but i'm gonna hold out for at least another year or two.

bugs will get worked out, better hardware/software, and better prices.

props to all of you early adopters for jumping right in....i just got my first smart phone so that should tell you how i'm living.

My cousin threw some money at me to build his kid a super budget gaming pc.

Right now I'm trying to figure out if going with a Skylake i3 is the move or if I should wait a couple of months for Zen :patrice:

I'm ready to set up my poles and clamps for my Vive finally :blessed:

But how do these polls stand up by themselves? I guess I should probably open the box first (:skip:), but it seems like there isn't a stand or anything :jbhmm:


And side note: These fukking colors on this 5K....fukking :ohlawd:

I'm using this as my background and the colors look better than real life :damn:

So, I've been benchmarking my new Titan X Ps and at 1080p, I only get a 10-15% difference from my 1080 sli setup

Now...when you move to 1440p you get a 20% difference

With 4K you get a 30-40% difference.

This is something to keep in mind if y'all are waiting for the 1080tis. They're only better than the 1080s at higher resolutions. But goddamn do they shine at 4 and 5K :wow:

If you've been in this PC game for 20+ years, the new Sierra Humble Bundle sale is :whew:

So many classics I played as a kid. The nostalgia :ahh:

All for $15.01 (I already had the new Kings Quest, so I didn't pay $20.01) :wow:

Looks like Kaby Lake is gonna be a whole new generation beginning of next year. Intel's R&D must have been slaving a couple of years ago :russ:
