I have Cali medical mj card so not breaking any state laws at least. That redwood room looks inviting! Weedmaps?

http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/14/samsung-galaxy-core-advance-usability-accessories/So while I have my rift on I can use this ultrasound tech not to bump into things in real world. Didn't Sony have a patent for obstacle avoidance too? Which batman movie had this where he could see all the jokers minions? Damn I wish I had marilu henners memory.

http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/8/5483124/eas-ceo-on-the-companys-plans-for-virtual-realityOculus has some former ea peeps on staff yes¿ the more I dwell on it the more I think the oliver stone "wild palms" projected hologram is the end goal where people don't have to wear anything.

I'm seriously just done with multiplayer games on PC. Call of Duty ghosts and Battlefield 4 are brand new games! (and CoD ghosts is VAC secure!) How ever, I had seriously 3 wall hackers in a single game. One was on my team, and there were 2 on the other team "That made it bloody obvious he was hacking. He shot me through the walls and acted like it was nothing. I accused him of hacking then he left the game (even though he was going 24 - 0).Am I the only one getting sick of PC multiplayer games?Trust me once the oculus rift can fully work with consoles (without having to have multiple PCs hooked into them) I'm just seriously sticking with consoles for multiplayer games, and PC for single player. Anyone else agree?

http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/05/onlive-cloudlift-onlive-go/Lol! Young annakin iribe did great Jedi sith battle w darth perlman and seemed to destroy the dark lord! But the empire strikes back! On live with cloud lift is here. And goog, steam , nintendo , amazon etc may decide to partner w these guys to get their software on more hardware! Will young Jedi iribe be able to beat back the sith lords once again?(PS for those that don't know iribe and gaikai took on Perlman and onlive a few years back)

I'm putting this in off-topic, since I don't want to get in anybodies way, and I know its mostly due to my own supidity and lack of presence. I've been avoiding Rift news for a few months while I saved up to get one. I may not be a developer, but I'm a gamer who likes to test things to try to help out that way. I ordered mine and expected to see it in a month or two, but from what I've seen in the forums, shipping is no longer a big issue? I even saw "Shipping takes 3-5 business days" on the order screen. So my question is, has the current state of shipping improved or the sales died down enough that shipping only takes a few weeks?UK order, by the way.Thanks for taking the time to read!-KaruEDITSince a lot of us have shared the experience of waiting for our Rifts to arrive, how about sharing our first impressions as well?"HAWKEYE481" wrote:I reckon us lot should start another thread after they've all been delivered for our first time rift experience's, what do you think? :?:Once your

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-03-04-valve-is-pushing-price-of-pc-games-to-free-lovellseveral ways to look at this, Valve and open source are going drive a finishing nail into the coffin of the "for profit" model of an already obliterating industry,,,, (read the comments at the article, lots of big developer brains see the writing on the wall - I only played KOTOR because it was free, it got my eyeballs, they could have done some in game advertising maybe (like a pepsi machine on the edge of the cantina) and I would have accepted that, but not paid to play.Mankind is entering a truly golden age where billions of younglings will have more entertainment than they could ever consume, for free forever!Developers will code new content just to do it, because the expectations of big money or status maybe become silly...What if Steam wants the PC market to go to free because it will be a powerful competitive weapon as it battles the console manufacturers? Then I would expect [Valv

I'm using AT&T U-verse (commonly known to have issues) but here's what I'm not understanding.My DL speed is 12mbps and my UPLOAD speed is 0.75 Common issues with my modem are sometimes the connection likes to drop down to (5mbps download speed) but today it decided to jump up to 30-40mbps (I only noticed this because I was re-installing the Elder Scrolls Online BETA launcher) After it jumped up to 40mbps the game downloaded within about 10 minutes (which was crazy fast) but can anyone please explain how my internet just got a sudden jump boost? I would love to have a 40mbps download speed.

Carmack delivers again, reading his twitter feed, he linked to this guy http://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2014/01/game-133-dark-designs-i-grelminars.html talking about his first RPG game (see there is hope for all you developers eating catsup packets as your only meal)Anyways, what a find, that blogger has done a heroic effort on all those old CRPGS! I have blown 30 hours reminiscing on nostalgia. Can anyone recommend other similar works/blogs/youtube channels? It seems whatever neurons activated when I was a kid playing all these old CRPGS, reactivate watching old youtube let's plays of these old games, or reading reviews about them. I didn't have the 30 hours to spare but couldn't pull myself away, damn you CARMACK!What does Spock say? (whats da fox say?)

Going to be spending time in my VR cinema this week, so I'm going to be wanting to know some good titles.My list so far - TITANIC- HUNGER GAMES- HUNGER GAMES : CATCHING FIRE (Not sure if its out on DVD yet)- Batman (Dark Knight trilogy)- Les Miserables (Liam Neeson version)

I'm studying for college enterence exams this week (hopefully aiming to get into college this year) however, I have really no idea on what I need to get done to get into college. I've just been studying my practice exams lately (to get myself prepared) I'm wanting to hopefully get into college either late this year. Or early next year.So what do I need to do to start getting into college?

I'm really into creepy pastas and I love gaming creepy pastas, (but I've watched literally all the popular ones) what are some decent and scary CP's?

http://www.gizmag.com/lechal-haptic-feedback-navigation-shoes/30939/Another force feedback device but this time for the feet, VR sneakers, maybe wearing this in VR Skyrim or other stuff can be adapted for fun? Walking through water gives one sensation, through mud another, tells you when to turn to find the cave where the dragon is, etc etc

I apologize if this thread is in the wrong area but ive waited so long to finally receive this beautiful Dev Kits and cannot for the life of Christ figure out why my VR Cinema 3D demo cannot play movies on the big screen and go's to a white screen after the quick demo intro loads. I deleted the original movie file that was there, replaced it with harry potter; i renamed that harry potter movie "movie.avi" and still white screening on me..... Some one please help me, i want to experience a 3d movie actually playing on this screen!!

So I'm building this GDD so I don't go too far off-the-grid in this "Made for the Rift" game that I'm "attempting" to create, and came across an interesting read dealing with the identification of the target audience.http://www.cms.livjm.ac.uk/library/Archive/GDTW2004-Publications/ChrisBateman-Designing%20for%20Different%20Play%20Styles.v1.3.pdf

http://www.technologyreview.com/news/524626/augmented-reality-gets-to-work/Started At Boeing, just adds to my shock how few I talked too there ever heard of Oculus or Palmer.The defense contractor Raytheon and the electronics maker Mitsubishi Electric, among other large companies, have been trying augmented reality in the workplace and out in the field. “Some companies are thinking, ‘Look, this is interesting enough, we’ll take some bets on it, we believe there’s a good chance. At least we want to have a first mover’s advantage compared to our competitors,’” says Soulaiman Itani, founder and CEO of Atheer Labs, which is making 3-D virtual reality software and glasses. The Mountain View, California-based company is working on some small pilot tests with companies—he won’t say which ones—to try augmented reality in hospitals, on construction sites, and in factories.http://www.atheerlabs.com/http://daqri.com/Andy Lowery, a Daqri cofounder who is no longer involved in the company’s daily o
