Did any of you try the PS VR or any other VR?

I really would like to go to a place where I could sit down and fuck around with it for a few hours. I guess the easiest thing would be to just buy one and fuck around with it on my own time. But hopefully there is someplace set up before it comes out where I can try it and form my own opinions.

Is Best Buy going to get kiosk's? They usually do for new gaming related tech.

I just use the free vr thing that came with my S7 Edge.

Will the PS4 have pornography?
I am sure it already does.

But you will probably have to get it on the browser or via some unauthorized software to get it. I don't think you can create something that nerds will not find a way to put porn on it though.

I've had an Oculus DK2 for about a year and a half, and it's really cool, everything was just kind of demos though. The problem with VR is all of the games at first are going to be these "oh wow that's cool" for like 10 minutes, and then tapers off. Understandable though.

But I wonder if there could be a semi-revival of arcades with VR. VR is decently expensive, so having a central place where customers could pay for 20-30 minutes at a time could work out. That would especially work well with the limited nature of a lot of the current games. It would never be a full-on revival, but it would be interesting to see.

I thought the same thing!

VR would also really benefit from really expensive hardware. You could get shit you could not do at home.

Someone new would probably have to do it though because I think all the old arcade players are dead and Sony and co. want to make it consumer level so I don't think they will do it either.

Man... What the fuck, McNair, O'Brien, and Godsey never got to do anything with Brock IN PERSON. Talk about literally throwing darts from 50 feet.

The Texans media blitz on this is too funny. It's clear that BoB let everyone know that it was not his signing, and now they are all scrambling to make it look united. I'm not saying BoB doesn't like him. It's just that McNair was the driving force and gave Rick a blank check to get him

What weird, delusional world do you live in? How in the hell do you get any of those ideas from the info that is out there?

Even in the link Line posted O'Brien states clearly he is good with the Osweiler signing and after his research he said go get him. Why do you seem to look for and even make up shit about this team to support your narrative?

Well, the main problem I see with VR arcades is shit like pink eye spreading like fucking wild fire. They'd need those sanitary wipes stocked at every station and explicit instructions to wipe the headset down before using it and after using it.

Perhaps. However, I'm looking even beyond arcades. VR roller coasters are happening. Not fake virtual coasters, but real roller coasters using VR to spice up lame theming. I wonder if the Browns could incorporate this technology into their stadium so Cleveland fans don't actually have to watch the Browns play.
 
I understand the FA rules, it's just crazy to think that BoB and the Texans never met with Osweiler prior to signing him.

Yeah I posted about it yesterday but Florio was going off about how messed up it is that teams have to make these huge investments without really getting to know the guy. I wonder if the league will change it at somepoint since it really doesnt benefit the teams at all.

I still think the #ShinerBrock signing was good though.

Look, you guys who don't live in Houston don't understand the amount of vitriol on the news and everywhere about the quarterback situation here. It's practically a city wide meme at this point.

Houston is picking all the way down at 22 in the draft. It's clear they either don't think that trading away the farm for the pick they need to get the guy they want is worth it or that the guy that they're willing to spend for will be there at 22. With the salary caps that we have in 2016, draft picks are worth more than money. So now Houston can get the guy they are willing to spend for AND keep their first round pick.

Fanbase gets their quarterback, Houston keeps their draft picks, everyone wins!

Maybe they take a flyer on a quarterback in the draft anyway? Who knows? At the end of the day, if you don't think Houston isn't in a better position today than they were 3 months ago, you're crazy.

Funny thing is it has been happening for a few years now and yet it was never an "issue" until now. Still dont believe there was zero contact between the two sides, not for a minute. That goes for every team that reaches a deal in principle during legal tampering.

Either way its just money and not draft picks. Not like the Texans hung themselves with his contract they have the space and will continue to have it next year.

You dont have to like the Kool Aid you just have to drink it.

Also every fucking body is reported for that disrespect a few pages ago on the Falcons new stadium.
