There has a good 2 years maybe last gen when it was the easy thing to write about to sound smart so it was tossed around a bunch.
Then when the next gen jump I dunno what happened. Maybe during that whole DRM fight where some sites spent half their days defending it they forgot the fun of the "Is the player character the real monster?" article.
Because of all the DOOM hype I am actually re-installing RAGE....
I actually really love that game and 100% it when it came out.
I would rather play DOOM but I have to run it on medium with no AA to get mostly 60fps so that sucks and I know I'll be buying a new card when the 1080 or 1070 comes out so I'm trying to wait.
Let's go for another RAGE playthough!

Ultimate feature would be Walker, Austin, Texas Ranger. should there ever be a game set in Austin, Texas.
The latest crop of VR games look real, real bad. Somehow, shit ha gotten worse since launch.
Only legitimately cool things were Please Don't Touch Anything and VR Anime lady. Hitman Go looks well made, but a fundamentally terrible way to play that game.
Seeing Jeff baseball throw a strike in that bowling game was pretty hilarious.

It'll be the future once we can put it in some contact lenses and have something that can simulate tactile senses like texture and weight.
So, like 20+ years from now if we make it that long as a species.

20+ years is still pretty alright for me.
I'll settle for when we get to the size of glasses because I cannot stand contacts. People who wear contacts must have severed the nerves in their face to stand them.
Plus if hololens is at the stage it is already I predict that it'll take significantly less than 20 years to get there.

I actually can barely wear glasses anymore. Maybe I have sensitive skin, but every pair of glasses I've had chafe the shit out of the bridge of my nose. Even when they're supposedly correctly adjusted. Contacts were a godsend.

See, I use to have that problem with wireframes, like they would actually leave indents in my nose, but I've switched to those black, thick framed glasses and they are super comfy.
Too bad hipsters gave them a bad rep but they genuinely provide an upgrade in comforts and looks for me.
I'll consider that if I ever get a new set of glasses. I have some for backup, but I don't use them regularly.
My other main problem is glasses always make me look like a dope. I'm glad I'm comfortable in contacts. They've just been a far more enjoyable experience.

Yeah I ain't putting shit in my eyes. I can live with glasses.

I'm so used to glasses now that I think that I look weird without glasses.
BTW, any news of preload for overwatch on battle.net? Just bought it.

I have an eye condition so I have to wear those hard contacts that you use the plunger to stick them in. They're actually a lot better than soft ones and don't come out of my eyes easily. I just have a cheap pair of Coastal glasses for right before I go to bed.
I'd totally get laser eyes if I could though.

I think Overwatch has been completely downloadable since the beta.
VRodeo 2 was hilarious. This Second Life like VR game is amazing.

Yeah, just got to that point.
Also why does blizzard think that australia is in the americas?
First we take the asia cup, then we take eurovision, and now we take overwatch.
So many people anti contacts in here.
It's great. Most of the time, I feel like I'm wearing nothing. It's like having LASIK without having scary lasers shot at my eyes. Sure, occasionally I let a pair get too old before switching out and they get dry and scratchy, but that's an easily remedied issue.

Yeah I still have it installed since the beta so I assume it will just update on day 1.
Also it's a pretty small download overall which is great.

After you get used to them it's like they're not even there, such a pain in the ass to get in and out though.

It's not even a pain in the ass for me to take them in and out anymore since I'm so used to them. I can understand that part never getting better if you have to use the rigid kind, though.
It's so easy for me and they're so breathable that I can wear them all day before I even get a hint of dry eye.

That's the downfall of them not coming out easily during the day, they're harder to get out when you do want them to come out. I have to stick the plunger on it and pull it out.
The payoff is ultimately worth it though, because I can't see worth shit with my right eye without it, but with it in it's almost 20/20, no blurriness at all. Can't say that with glasses.

Put me in that team as well. Never had a problem with wearing glasses although I hate it now that they're related to being "hipster" or whatever the fuck.

Zero content on the schedule, what has this website become? #MakeGiantBombGreatAgain.
I accidentally turned on DBZ. I've barely watched any of it, yet I've absorbed enough through osmosis to know what's going on. Thanks Vinny? I think.
'Hyperbolic Time Chamber' is the best stupid dumb term imaginable.

There was too much content this week, they should have spread it out a bit.

That's it, I'm going to Team Rooster Teeth.
I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Remember when Rooster Teeth made a movie and it looked like the worst YouTube shit imaginable, but if that YouTube shit had an effects budget?
Between Vinny and DBZ Abridged, I can't quite remember what's real with DBZ anymore.

Video Game I bought
Ori DF: Time to play again and beat for third time. At least there is new stuff to check out, as well as backtracking.
Good choice.

If I remember right the rough estimate of people with 20/20 vision in the world is around 30%. You're more likely to have less than optimal eyesight than not.
I mean I can do just fine without glasses but I want the world to look crisp.

Huh. Had no idea.
Any studies done on the number of people who ruined their own vision by trying to gain super powers from glasses? Statistically it couldn't possibly be just Dan right?

I dont think I could wear contacts even if I wanted.

I remember when I was a kid I thought glasses were cool for some reason so I asked to get my eyes checked
joke was on me, my eyes were fucked
you could, just like I could, but they're expensive and uncomfortable
My vision is comparatively not that abysmal, -2.75, but I still can't see shit without my contacts. I can't really imagine people with worse vision.
I also have zero clue how I got by in elementary/early middle school before we knew I needed glasses.
I have a feeling No Man's Sky is going to end up on a lot of 'most disappointing' lists. The GB crew seem to have good expectations of what it's going to be, but I've got a feeling most feeling are going to find it slow and boring.
That game is really cool tech wise, but I have zero interest in actually playing it. Hopefully it's good for the people who like that kinda thing!
