Foolz has tricked me into upgrading my PC!  Will elaborate on next podcast.

If you guys have not taken the jump into VR our most recent episode is worth listening to.

Game Under Podcast 132 — Game Under Podcast

"a camel's nose (under the tent) A small, seemingly innocuous act or decision that will lead to much larger, more serious, and less desirable consequences down the line. The term refers to an alleged Arab proverb that if a camel is allowed to get its nose inside of a tent, it will be impossible to prevent the rest of it from entering."

Ohhhh I is it positive? Squadrons is cheap and its incredible in VR.

Gamepass is $1 for 3 months, just search for it. Not much I want to play right now on there but the Medium should be coming soon.

I think we need a new to VR thread or something, I am interested on you new VR owners and what you are playing and how you are reacting. Half-Life Alyx is one of the best experiences you can have, well worth it.

Immortals is still on my radar but I know that game will be very cheap very fast so I will wait. I did get Avengers, I dont know why. I got Watch Dogs but the online mode is delayed till next year so i wont touch it till then, thats the best part. Cyberpunk next week, holy shit!!!!

Robio, Walmart has the Pro controller and Mario odyssey for $69.

a fine deal indeed. I think I'm going to hold off though. Already have enough of a library, and I'm still debating Ring Fit. I'm coming to terms with the Switch controller and the more I use it the less disgusted with it I am so I should be okay.

I think I'll try streaming my XboneX to the Quest some time.  There's an app dedicated to doing this, and by lack of 4K TV this might actually improve the experience.

I'll also be looking into if you can do this in a tethered setup.  I don't like the idea of streaming data directly to my face.

Assuming you're talking about my issues with wirelessly streaming large amounts of data: for the same reason that I didn't like the idea of beaming high amounts of uncompressed data from the WiiU directly to my crotch region while holding the gamepad.

I'm not sold on the idea that wireless signals have no effect on our body at all.  Where possible I'll try to avoid pushing huge amounts of data over wifi networks.  I'm not paranoid about it or anything, I use my mobile phone a lot, but I still like to be cautious.

Also keep in mind that I live in a region where asbestos was being used for a lot of different things for many decades.  When it transpired that the asbestos fibres were highly cancer inducing, the firm that made all these products tried and succeeded in hiding that information from the public for many many years, resulting in a lot of death and suffering for those living nearby.

Even to this day there are issues.  Near us is a forrest area that's basically grown on a big asbestos dump.  Now the asbestos is coming to the surface again and there are big plans to cover the whole area with plastic sheeting and a couple of meters of soil again.

So yeah, I'm a bit sceptical when people tell me that something is perfectly safe.

So after a couple days of being a Switch owner, I've played almost nothing but Tetris 99 and Mario 35. I booted up Mario and Rabbids, But I'm just not feeling it at the moment. I got bored very quickly and went back to Tetris.

I have a feeling the Switch Will be my go-to for quick and mindless competitive games. maybe next year I'll play something that has something resembling a story, but probably not until then.

I bought the game A Way Out a couple of months back.  It's co-op but I assumed I could play with anyone online.  Wrong.  Would anybody be interested in joining me in a play through of A Way Out on PS4?

Thanks for reminding me to play some Tetris 99. I got to get that skin.

Thecconvenience of hand held will prove itself over time. I love my switch. Odyssey is a good intro.
