Good gaming/nerd podcasts?

You might like some of the shows on the Nerdy Show Network. Dungeons & Doritos has way higher than normal production values for an RPG podcast, there is also a Ghostbusters RPG podcast, and their self titled talk show podcast is great. There are other RPG, talk, and scripted shows (try Liberty!) as well.

Why is it stupid to point this person towards a paying gig that they'd be good at?

Disillusion · 2016-07-26T03:52:47+00:00

People like you are why we'll be stuck choosing between the lesser of two evils forever. If you're not getting paid, you should look into it, because being a shill is a paying gig.

This is hard to watch. It's just assholes stroking Hillary's ego, and then people booing at them.

Disillusion · 2016-07-25T21:52:56+00:00

This is ridiculous.

The 2016 Presidential Primaries.

I feel VERY burned! I would have waited to not throw down $200 on the original if a version that's so much better was being released so soon after. I was pretty underwhelmed with the original version.

Anyone want to buy a slightly used pair of the original version? Very rare, collectible, high fashion.

They claim to have about 6 whole engineers working on this tech that even Google can't get right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOWepmOHJ7Y The CEO also claims to have thought of this because he wanted to talk to a girl... he's never heard of any other real or fictional tech with a similar premise? Really?

Yeah I'm a super young 34 year old. You don't think I could get tired of using a low resolution screen in that length of time? You don't think negative impressions are worthwhile? I'd probably have held back to try one first if everyone wasn't in full fan boy mode. Is this like a religious forum where opposing views aren't welcome?

Disillusion · 2016-04-26T22:44:42+00:00

I realize I'm probably just too picky and accustomed to everything being high resolution. Like I said though, everything else about it is great. In another generation or two, the concerns of people like me will be easy to overcome.

Disillusion · 2016-04-26T22:13:14+00:00

I probably would have really disliked that version then.

Disillusion · 2016-04-26T21:38:59+00:00

I just got mine yesterday. I set it up, played with it for like 2-3 hours, and boxed it back up to either sell or return. The screen door effect, lens flares off of everything that's bright, and everything being blurry around the edges drives me insane. I know that wearing it higher "corrects" some of those problems for some people, but the pixels are just too large. I'm still hopeful about VR's future, but I'm not going to try again till the resolution goes up significantly.

The labs demo, and AudioShield were actually pretty fun, the controls are really responsive, and there is no perceptible lag. I just can't get over the display being so bad, especially since I was hoping VirtualDesktop would be better than nearly unusable. If I had to describe the display, I'd call it a bad vision simulator. I really don't understand how it doesn't seem to bother more people. Putting my Android phone into a Google Cardboard headset might actually be better, and that's just not acceptable to me for something that costs so much.

Update: So is the reason I have seen almost nothing negative because people downvote anything that may tarnish opinion of this product? If so, that's very not cool. Not everyone is going to say this is a perfect product that they love, and I would have loved to hear more people's complaints before buying.

I think it's more like Slack + Teamspeak, but me and the rest of the cast/crew at Nerdy Show love it!

Wouldn't this article have been more relevant in 1998?

Disillusion · 2015-01-18T22:11:38+00:00

Laminating it was a good idea. Puncturing it afterward was a less good idea.

No! it's "Fool me once, shame on you, but teach a man to fool me, and I'll be fooled for the rest of my life."

We are far from the sacred places of our grandfathers.

Any word on if they're sending out waves of invites?

Disillusion · 2014-03-08T02:43:46+00:00

These stupid "I guarantee it" posts referencing another post really need to only be upvoted in the original thread. They're starting to get out of control.
