There's a show on TNT called Animal Kingdom and I don't have the sound on but it looks kind of like Point Break but much more sinister and I don't think anyone's a fed.
Is that the Australian film?
Nope, apparently it's an American remake and it's a TV show not a film.

It's very impressive; I like how they addressed the problem of intuitive UI in VR.
I'm still a bit concerned that VR seems to only be compatible with a narrow band of play experiences, though. For example, the bullet hell SHMUP was very interesting, but clearly kind of limited outside of the VR novelty. It's tech that mostly works best (or so it's been demonstrated thus far) for immersive first-person experiences... which is great, but maybe not so great for such a relatively expensive kit that is probably not easy to design games for in the first place.
The first few years of 3D games were super rough too. How long did it take companies to make a functioning camera or create 3D levels that actually used three dimensions in a meaningful way? This is a tech that's going to take some ground up reworking of what makes a compelling game. The work that's been done already is pretty amazing. If it catches on, I think things will start advancing quickly. Teleportation mechanics are only a solution for one class of game, but you can imagine others. Seated experiences like driving and flying are already pretty much done. Third person stuff works fine in a kind of virtual augmented reality way. I could totally see playing a game where you look down at a table and like, buildings and little dudes are down there, and you just manage them, lemmings style. The bullet hell shmup was basically just a demo. A real game in that mold would be something I'd genuinely play a lot. Imagine a campaign ala starfox 64. It would totally work.

Finished Far Harbor - the whole thing felt like a mea culpa for FO4, and had a weird denouement, but I really really liked it and would recommend it. Had a lot of flavor that was missing from base FO4, a lot of set pieces and plot/story/choice stuff that was great

Like, Psylocke has 3 lines and just stands around posing for most of it. The wire work is really bad for a high budget production. I don't often like movies but I don't think I am alone in this.
i don't even know what battleborn is, but are all these deals because they are panicking about it vs. overwatch
yup.
even before Overwatch launched it fizzled hard. 2k/gearbox said that "it was selling like the first Borderlands" which is super misleading cause Borderlands was a slow burn on sales overtime.

DK any idea why there is so much lag between your cam and the game feed?
The capture box that pulls the video from the PC over to my laptop, which was running the stream, introduces a second or so of lag. I think open broadcaster could have corrected for it by delaying the camera feed, I just need to fiddle with settings.

the treadmill setups look really cool (tho obvs a bigger investment, space, etc- i doubt it'll catch on as a mainstream component of a VR setup). it is hard to get used to the idea of a primary element of a game- position- being controlled iteratively, through jumps and portals and stuff. maybe it is less jarring in VR (haven't tried any VR devices yet).
seems like it would be fkn rad to just walk tho.

You can freely walk in the 2x3 meter space you've set up, and it feels amazing, but yeah, beyond that you need some sort of way to move and teleportation seems to be emerging as the solution. It's honestly less jarring in VR than it looks in video because before you teleport, a little view window comes up, in stereo, and just gets bigger until it fills your fov entirely, then you're just somewhere else. It's actually LESS jarring than using a controller or whatever to walk, which is, like I said before, an instant ticket to vomit town.

I didn't care for FO4 after the wonderful intro where I was running around and exploring the new world. If this Harbor thing is different I'll give it a shot.
I don't feel like paying $50 for a season pass, though. Seems a bit pricey.

VR setups with treadmills etc are entirely possible as a mainstream item, i think--if the medium fulfills its promise it will be too good not to lay out the cash if you have it
mainstream as in people who can afford e.g. entertainment centres now...

It feels like a much more streamlined vision of what FO4's main story could've been: here are 3 understandable and interesting factions, here are a number of ways to interact and side with them in different configurations, here are some twists and developments, here is how Nick Valentine Number One Husbando hooks into the story
The new landmass itself is pretty beautiful and interesting - new exotic monsters, although of course feral ghouls and raiders ("""trappers""") appear en masse

Have you played Hover Junkers yet, DK?
It's a really compelling way to do a shooter with room-scale VR, I felt.
Actually dropping to a knee, crawling between cover, lining up shots from between narrow openings, etc, feels really fun.

I think I've been surprised by how intuitive warping is for me. I could play Minecraft for quite a while without it feeling all that strange that my movement is mostly in discrete jumps.

There's a good tweet I read about that the other day, but it mostly stemmed from British comedy and American comedy being different and therefore adaptation requiring substantial change
regardless: Animal Kingdom is an Oscar-nominated crime drama, it is up there with The Proposition in my list of Good Australian Films

Less tragic than Michael scott? Fuck. Fucking idiot garbage.
No raise for 15 years, no family, can't afford a family if he had one and he promised a bunch of kids he'd give them full scholarships because he wanted to pretend he had a family. A small snippet of his life.

No. Sort of - the Quicksilver scene is good.
It is really, really underdeveloped.
