Strapping on an Oculus Rift for horror was the BEST idea. Last night was epic.

I caught exactly 4 seconds of the live stream yesterday and it happened to be right when a spider jumped onto the screen and Patrick flipping out... it was awesome!

@ninessc2: The Astro A40. There are much better setups for the price, out there, if you're in-the-market.

I'm glad the first game was more of a horror comedy. Great way to ease into what I assume was a harrowing experience the rest of the night.

This was the first Spookin with Scoops i watched 100% live and i've never seen Patrick so broken by a game. I imagine after the stream he just curled into a ball and fell asleep(not sure how anyone could sleep after what he went through).

I could even feel some of his fear transferring to me.

When you're just watching someone stand still forever in the corner of a cabin, you may think "man up and get moving, wth?" but if you've ever played a game and been seriously scared, you totally understand =P

GG Patrick.

That was pretty fun to watch. Horror on the Oculus Rift looks really interesting.

Patrick, I would say watch Event Horizon but don't expect much. I just saw it last week for the firs time in a while but it was bad, but dumb fun. Rosemary's Baby is one of my favorite movies ever in any genre, I'm curious to know what you think.

So sad that I missed this live. Thanks for taking one for the team, Scoops.

What a terrifying device though; it's really only a matter of time before we hear about someone suffering a heart attack while playing on this thing; I imagine some heavy warnings will be slapped on to the consumer model. This level of immersion is dangerous stuff to mess with,

But this is all still crazy exciting. I can't wait to see what people come up with once they iron out all the minor issues and get beyond the tech demo stages.

Off-topic, but how do you tolerate the taste of beer? I'm 24 and just had a sampler pack, and found the only thing I can tolerate is Hard Apple Cider (like Redd or Angry Orchard). Is there anything I am missing, or do I just not enjoy the taste of beer? (I had a couple including Troegg's and some others and literally spit it out.)

@ocdfox: It's like coffee, you acquire a taste for it. We're trained not to like "bitter" when we're kids because we just eat candy.

@brenderous@ocdfox: Huh. Weird. I never recall disliking the taste of beer (that wasn't utter trash like say, Natural Light). Nor have I ever found the taste of ber to be 'bitter.'

I just straight up love the taste of beer. Did not need to train myself for it.

Perhaps I was a weird kid. I've thought coffee was goddamn delicious from when I first started drinking it.

Why doesn't Patrick just use the mic on his headset when he's using the Rift?

@ocdfox: All tastes are relative, but our tastebuds change over time. Some things you have to work out. When I started doing adult-business-stuff meetings, I had to teach myself to drink scotch without making a face. Now, 5 years later, I really like it! Basically, just abuse your mouth until it stops fighting back. ;)

That's...not a terrible idea. The quality isn't as good, but at least it's be consistent.

I'm told that my dad let me taste a drop of beer when I was a baby, and a look came over my face like I had experienced some sort of revelation or epiphany. Maybe some people are just born to like beer.

Spiders and the Occulus Rift are just unfair. I think I might rip off the headset and throw it against the wall in Patrick's position.
