^ Oh, I see now. The camera technology would be much easier to maintain as long as it's made well. We'll see who wants to support it in the long run.

This setup makes VR much more attainable for consumers. Demonstrations would probably help sell it. And Jogging: The Simulator was only partly a joke. I'm sure people and companies would buy into that if it was good enough.

Well, most of the VR demos that have come out thus far with the Rift and Hydra are actually non-game related thus far. People seem eager to take VR to other forms of entertainment.

I could see the rift and omni being very popular in space-constrained countries, for example. You can live in a tiny studio apartment and feel like you live in a 100-room mansion that you can even walk around in so long as you can fit in one recliner-sized appliance. Stuff like VR Cinema, which lets you create a full movie theater with an imax-sized screen that can pipe-in video from a capture card already shows how the line between reality and virtual reality can blur. There is plans, for example, to let you invite other people into your theater, online, hundreds of miles away using their rifts, to watch a movie together that gets streamed to them over the internet. It's more than just watching a movie, it's the feeling of physically being with your friends, in a different location.

Here's a video:



EDIT: another idea people have had are VR plays. Think like a pixar movie, except rendering in real time, and instead of sitting behind the 4th wall, watching people act behind a screen, you can actually be sitting on stage, watching the actors move all around you. The guy who made Megalodon: Shark Attack 3 for the ScyFy channel is actually working on a new movie "filmed" in VR just like this concept. I know a guy in the UK who runs a bunch of murder mystery who-dunnit weekend experiences who is investing in a rift to develop the same sort of thing.

$190 huh?? nope, I got locally for $1000 uruguayan pesos = $40 USD, great game btw, I love the pixel art ala John Romita Sr. art style.

That is a terrific price, man! I'm floored! Way to go!

This is fucking awesome. I'm faily certain I had that tails as a kid.

I had a smaller sonic, too. I loved that plushie, I got it in 1992. I kept it with me for years until, last year, my puppy ripped it to shreads

I had all those mcDonalds toys, too. That running sonic toy is so memorable.

[Obviously]

I used to have those Sonic happy meal toys too. All except for the tails one. It was kind of shocking to me at the time that they had Knuckles considering they used the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Robotnik.

Knuckles barely got any love in merchandising in the 90's save for the comics.

One of my friends launched the Sonic off of my porch and onto the cement where a chunk of his eyes got scratched off. I was very sad.

[FuturePrimitive]

I remember those toys! Wow! That is digging deep into my memory for me. I always wondered "Why is Knuckles on a cloud?"

I only had Sonic if I remember correctly.

Some Genesis cames, CIB
- Bubba N Stix
- Super Battleship
- X-Men

Got another Genesis yesterday. This one is a VA7, so I'm not planning on keeping it. It's one of the last things I need to make my Genesis YouTube video series. It looked like crap when it showed up. It didn't clean up too bad.

Picked up a few Wii U games on a clearance sale.

I figured for $15 each (brand new/sealed) wasn't a bad deal at all.

[DJ_Convoy]

Oh god; they're already clearancing WiiU stuff?


Got Lost World on Saturn, Konami Krazy Racers on GBA, King of Route 66 on PS2 and some other odds and sods today. The GF just picked up a Radio Shack Pong clone on ebay; hopefully I can hook it up to a TV when we get it.

Oh, and my copy of Sturmwind for the DC just came, as well. Sweet.

[M4R14NO94]

At least in his country, yeah. He mentioned on an earlier post here how a store had marked down Wii U's at $75, and he bought three.

Over in this neck of the woods less than 2,000 Wii U consoles have been sold since its launch in November 2012.
I reckon for us over here that ship may well have sailed. No local distributor in their right mind is going to spend money on marketing for a system that has sold less than 2000 units in a period of over 7 months.

Holy shit. I reckon the sega Saturn, sega master system 32X, maybe even the neo geo must have sold better there.

Neo Geo, 32X and the Saturn were never officially released over here. The SMS did have a local distributor but I can't be sure of the exact sales no's on that one.

BTW, here's a link to that Wii U sales figure I referred to earlier: http://mygaming.co.za/news/wii/54747...mal-in-sa.html

Well I guess my comment is a total fail then.lol

Finally got in my major recent purchase from overseas!


2013-06-09 MVS Bundle by xelement5x, on Flickr

Bought from Yahoo Japan! A 1 Slot MV-1F Neo Geo MVS unit with Unibios 2.3 already installed.

Also came with the following games:
Power Spikes 2, KOF 99, World Heroes 2 JET, Art of Fighting, Some Mahjong game, and Magical Drop 3

I got a steal of a deal on this even after shipping from overseas, and plugged it into my cabinet over the weekend to mess around with. Unfortunately my cab is stock jamma and I don't have switches for the 4th button, but that's not a major deal for now and I'll try to customize it a bit.
