Dracula the Drama Queen - #7

there also starting to have VR coaster rides like kraken unleash ed too

Regarding mobile VR, has anyone given Google Daydream a try?  It's certainly still nothing near a full, proper setup, but MUCH nicer than Google Cardboard or other simple VR hacks.  The phones have to meet performance requirements in order to be on the platform, and they are even coming out wth the fully self-contained Daydream headsets that @Ashley mentioned.

I am excited for the Witcher Netflix series. The Witcher games were great, but they ignored or glossed over major elements from the books, and I am happy that more people will have a chance to see the breadth of the series. For example, without the books, you would have no idea what a piece of shit Avallac'h is. Same, to an extent, with the Lodge, and Triss. I read the books after I played the first Witcher game, and I was pissed about being nice to Triss. 

My big question is, are they just going to adapt the saga, or are they going to adapt both the saga, and the short stories? If they are going to adapt the short stories, how? The short stories vary in importance to the saga (and the timeline is all over the place), but they are all interesting for character development.

Anyone else having an extreme amount of trouble watching this video? It's one of the videos that just won't work on the android app(I wish they would just take the app off the marketplace it's so shit and they're not going to fix it anyway) and my ipad won't play it on any browser claiming it 's not compatible? The video player's always been shit but this is ridiculous.

I use the Samsung Galaxy Oculus VR for mobile with my S7 Edge. I can say that I have used it pretty consistently since January and have witnessed a massive growth in what it can do. There's even Xbox One controller support to use as a gamepad to play Minecraft VR(The pigs are bigger than you'd think). The travel videos and social media "meeting places" with real life people in VR is really awesome. It has that noob feel of being a young kid on yahoo games go fish chats where everyone is just feeling it out and getting to know others around them. I recommend checking it out. It can be immersive. Does anyone else use this?

With video games being adapted to animated series, it's in a similar vein to manga/light novels being adapted into anime: it's to advertise the source material to new audiences and get them interested in the franchise. A lot of anime adaptations of things are only one series/season, with the idea that if you liked it enough you'd go and read the source material and support the original author/artist(s). Of course, if an anime adaptation itself is popular enough, it'll get fully animated anyway.

lol Ashley says that now people with PC's can choose Oculus for their VR choice, despite the fact that most regular PC's sure as hell cant run VR. 

AH played an early version of Gorn for one of the first few VR the champions it looked fun as hell at least for a good 30 minutes at that point of development

I kind of disagree with Ashley on the villian thing. I think the best villians are ones like Joker and Gul'dan, irridimable and totally unsympathedic. Didn't know the Castevania show was already out, makes me wish I still had a Netflix account.

I personally hated the Castlevania Netflix series, even as a huge fan of the franchise. The only redeeming part for me was the end fight between Trevor and Alucard. Other than that, I found it to be worthless.

A short google search reveals that the half-life update was an overall engine update for counterstrike primarily. If you're reading through the comments to see if anything came of that update, nothing did.

The people behind arc are saying that the digital and physical prices have to be the same but from what i gathered in this podcast it seems that they are not being forced to make the game $60, so they intend to make the game more expensive physically and then are using it as an excuse to make it more expensive on pc as well. Is that what's going on or am i perceiving it wrong?
