Jack Sawyer Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Well fellas, these are the last shots till I get the new PC and have it set up. So I'll still comment but it may be some time before I post screens. However, I can work on some comics if it's all right with ya'll. On another note, yesterday the wife unit and I went to the mall to buy something and I saw something I never saw before. They had this German guy who had a kiosk set up and was charging people $10 to play games in VR. So it wasn't busy and I asked him if I could just look and not play as I had never wore VR goggles, he was VERY gracious and let me wear them. They were the VIVE OTC ones and he put the hand things in my hands. I was BLOWN AWAY! First time ever and I felt like I could walk for miles, I was shooting arrows like a pro and it was like Star Trek's holodeck to me. I was just standing in one small circle on the floor but all I wanted to do was walk around but he kept grabbing me and pushing me back onto the circle. But with the VIVE on it looked like I could walk forever. All I kept thinking was how good Orbx land would look with these on so now I'm hooked and would like to buy some someday soon. It was fun and when I took them off it was disorienting because I thought I was in a huge world and then back to a boring mall. I wanted to go back so badly. I read a lot of sci-fi-fi and now I can understand completely how they say in the future people will spend ALL their time in VR, it would be way too easy to do. Anyway, sorry about rant. Here's the landing at EDRF, Bad Durkheim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of buying it and it'll be ready when I get the PC. 4 hours ago, paulb said: Great shots Jack! It sounds like you might be adding VR to your list of purchases soon . Thanks Paul! I might, it was one of the coolest experiences I ever had. No wonder sci-fi-fi writers write about a future where people spend ALL their time in VR.

I think I have spent enough today so I will get it later. Bloody Hell, it isn't even in the May Sale!!!!!!!!!!! (Just a joke for anyone who may think I am serious).
