Lad got an Oculus headset for Xmas.

It absolutely remarkable.

I’m probably going to let him have a go later.

It’s proper Buck Rogers stuff

I felt really weird when I took it off. Played StarWars Tales from Galaxy’s Edge earlier and as a nerd it was unbelievable. Absolute class. Can’t wait for the kids to go to bed so I can play some more 

Thank, I’m glad it not just me that got that feeling.

Easily done.

I nearly smashed a light fitting off the ceiling the other day, reaching up for something in VR. It's mad.

That's a good point. There are a few boxing games out. I haven't tried one yet, but it's easy to imagine someone properly chinning someone else by mistake.

“It was the VR headset your honour!”

My lad has downloaded a game where you work in an office.

Bizarre but addictive

You tried any of the Oculus TV Experiences? Tagging along with folk climbing Everest etc? Fuck me! 😮 To think we started off with Sinclair Spectrums or Atari ST's, if we were lucky...

@SpiderHave you watched that animation "The Remedy" on the Quill channel? It's only short, but fucking hell it's good.

I don't even have time to play our PlayStation (aside from a quick half an hour on Crash Bandicoot Racing!) Still on 5 hours into a game that takes a moment of 100 hours to finish. Sounds fun though.

I’m the same. have to steal 20 mins here and there. No patience for proper gaming. Not had for 15-20 years. Quick dip in and out for easy fun

Have you invested in an Elite headstrap? If not, I highly recommend it. It makes a world of difference, comfort-wise.

@SpiderJust done a quick experiment at half time. Logged into the bwfc website on the Oculus browser, and put the match on full screen. It's fucking ace!

Will give it a go

I've gone back to the laptop now. Found it a bit too isolating after 10 minutes or so, and makes it more difficult to just grab a beer or whatever. Impressed with how good it looked though. Like watching it on a 100inch HDTV. It was worth a bash anyway.

@SpiderHave you tried those 'Vader Immortal' games? Fuck me, they're amazing! My brain thinks I've actually met Darth Vader and been a crew member on a spaceship. Incredible.

Just had to endure reading this entire thread with that God awful Jamiroqui song going round and round in my head. For that reason alone I will not be buying one.

I think you'll find the song is Virtual Insanity..... Maybe that makes it more apt though 😂

No. It's basically like watching iFollow on a cinema screen.
