Very typical UK youth, I wouldn't be surprised if they're from Ireland.

I'm loving my PSVR. Works perfectly for me. Funny thing is, as much fun as I'm having with the games, I'm really being drawn into the 360 VR videos. It's a shame YouTube 360 is not on PSVR just yet. The games I've played are the Eve: Valkyrie demo (it seems shorter than the one I did at Best Buy, but maybe that's just me), the Thumper demo (really neat), the Driveclub VR (I really liked it. I probably did better in that race than any other time I played Driveclub), Batman: Arkaham VR (my brother played this and was floored), and the Until Dawn: Rush of Blood demo (ditto). I also checked out that Invasion! mini-movie, which was a nice cute little movie. The cinematic screen was awesome for me. I pulled up Vudu and the airport scene from Captain America: Civil War and set the screen to the largest size and it almost felt like I was in an IMAX theater (too bad the 3D version is the only one that has the shifting aspect ratio). Overall, I'm very pleased. My brother, who does not follow VR developments (he didn't even know what a Rift or a Vive were) was just floored. If his impressions are any indication of the mass market, PSVR will do well. They just need to demo the thing at more places. Only one Best Buy near me did the demos. And that was the only place near me. No other stores except one other Best Buy and one Gamestop quite a ways away were doing demos.

My brother got one, and I just played with it for about 30 mins. How much light comes in from the bottom for you and does it bother you?
Are you Sneeze Gun?
It's coz they're dumb Americans.

Maaan they need to stop adding shit to the Call of Duty games. It's getting overwhelming, confusing and convoluted. They need to strip it back down to just the basics. MW2 had it perfect in my opinion. It was easy to grasp and still had lots of variety. This new one seems like I'll be spending more time in the menus trying to figure shit out.

I mean, Dan is going to get pepper sprayed before he leaves for NY, right? I mean, that's where this is going, right?

It's mostly the controllers that have a noticeable difference between different games. Headset tracking is generally a bit more consistent, but Job Simulator did have more of the "it thought I was standing in a different area and the world lurched in response" moments than other games I've tried so far. I really don't get what's going on. Like, the Move is never going to come close to the precision of the Vive, but it's still capable of being pretty precise.
Nah, I'm just a Sony hater like these GB jerks.
Edit: (Still working my way through the PSVR launch day stream) I'd be fascinated to see Dan's reaction to a Miku concert. Part of the thing that finally made the whole Miku thing make sense to me was realizing that the concerts had an actual band playing live music.
He said he wanted to make it a $200 goal during Extra Life. It sounds like his mind is already made up.
Dan is the man convincing other people to get pepper sprayed not the one getting pepper sprayed.

Jason didn't sound like he would need much convincing.

Oh jesus christ that screenshot is perfect. I didn't even realize Dan was in the background but when I did, and the face and the money, god.
A very good photo.

I played in our basement, where there is no natural light. The light from our ceiling was peeking through at the edges. For the most part, it wasn't all that noticeable, unless you were looking for it. There were times, though, when I was directly under a light, where it was more noticeable (i.e. on the lenses). I also played in darkness, which did not affect the headset in any negative way. It was cool to see my brother play Batman with the blue of the headset and the move controller tops all lit up. If the light bothers you, maybe try and find a dark area.
I liked it too. At first when my brother played the demo he was not feeling it, but once it got more involved, he started really getting into it, even getting annoyed when he messed up. I was also way into the Harmonix Music VR demo. The first part of the demo was eh, but the rest was really fun. The painting bit was a blast, and I loved the dancing part when where you pose the dancers. The fourth part of the demo was flat out trippy. I'll probably buy that at some point, especially as it's only $15.

I wish Sony sold extra power adapters for the PSVR breakout box. Currently (and will almost by always) the PSVR is in my room. The breakout box is next to my PS4. Every once and a while I bring my PS4 down to the basement, especially when we have people over. In the basement, I have another HDMI cable and another power cord compatible with PS4, that bringing it down is an ease for me, as I don't have to unplug anything from my room and just bring the PS4 (and controllers and camera) down. With the breakout box, I don't have a spare adapter. Unplugging things in my room can be a pain, especially when wires and cables have to go down behind my desk (which is far too heavy to move and far too close to the wall to reach down, plus there are so many wires to navigate past anyways). Does anyone know if a comparable adapter exists that would be compatible with the breakout box? Any help would be gladly appreciated.
Edit- Shoulda just used Google. A quick search using the specs of the AC adapter found me what appears to be compatible adapters. Awesome!

I just remembered that Star Trek Bridge Crew comes out next month. That will surely be featured on the site. It's out for all three headsets.
Might've been a Vrodeo. Don't remember.

You know, as I make my way through Gears, I'm kind of surprised at where Jeff is choosing to praise the game. I feel like the robot enemies are really boring re-skins of enemies we've been fighting the whole time. I don't really like the wave-based defense mode stuff they throw at you in the campaign. I haven't really made it deep into the other parts of the game yet, so I have yet to see the parts where Jeff says it turns into "regular old gears of war," but at this point I'm kind of looking forward to that.

Yup. The only one I watched, though, was their Until Dawn episode.
