Well, that was a bit of a shit show. GameStop said they wouldn’t know until tomorrow. Walmart.com went live, then out of stock, then love again, out of stock and then live. Got one from Walmart.com. Sheesh.
So I am one of the weirdos planning to pre-order new consoles, but I have always done it in person at a gamestop and not online. When do pre-orders usually go live on places like Amazon and Best Buy? Is it Midnight event? Some other nebulous time in the middle of the night?
I think Board Games have definitely been enjoying a bit of a reinassance over the past 20 some odd years and it still tickles me to see Catan on a Target shelf. For me my favorites are:
Here is my two cents after a couple hours of messing around (was not able to hook stuff up in my hotel room until around 7:00 or so):
Man this headset is spiffy. Super comfortable, easy to adjust, and just plain feels fancy. From a hardware standpoint the Sony team should be applauded.
Rigs is the first game I tried out and boy howdy it is a good time. Have not played online yet as I am Being extra careful motion sickness wise so I took a break to download and install some stuff. My little bro has had an oculus since the DK2 (and now had the final version as well) and he suggested breaks and not "trying to be a hero" with crazy long play sessions.
The only part I am not super thrilled with is the regular PS UI looks a bit rough. I also most wish they fed a different UI into the headset that was optimized for that view. Fingers crossed for an updated that does just that. For a goof I loaded up CNN and yowzers, Trump looks worse in VR, just kidding...sort of.
Have not tried a move game yet, but I am going to load up VR worlds now and see how it goes. Once more into the breach!
A few weeks ago I got a Raspberry Pi 3 and loaded it Retropie and some roms. I thought it would be a great thing to show my kids games I played growing up. I have a nascent video game collection...but the going is slow in that dept. and getting more expensive by the day.
I was disappointed right off the bat with some serious lag. Here is my set-up:
RetroPie running via HDMI into a switch box and then the switch box to 55in LG. My other new consoles run without issue.
