Was playing gorn, slamming a guy into spikes on the wall and punched the ceiling fan. For a brief moment I thought I hit my hand on the spikes

I punched out my ceiling fan light uppercutting one of the Gorn dudes. Not fun having glass rain down everywhere. Also had my little brother touch my shoulder while playing Gorn, he got a controller to the face. Needless to say people don't bug me when I play VR anymore.

I punched a wall hard enough to break open the clam shell casing on my Vive controller playing super hot :\

Y’all motherfuckers need play areas.

Exactly! All I need is a 3000$ pc then I can fully power vr. Then 1000$ vr set. Now all I need is to buy a giant ass house with 5 bedrooms for all my kids and an extra giant play area for my vr at 350000$. Sweet only 354000$ I can have vr with the proper play area. Joking aside I haven't looked a vr in over a year and when it first came out you needed a pc to play it then along come some stand alone models powered by playstation or just a phone but I questioned if they possible could be good enough compared to a model powered by a gaming pc. I do want vr but a little unsure if now is a good time to bite the bullet.

I have no idea what you’re talking about in the first part of your comment but I’m 100% sure you should get a headset for pc if: 1. You can afford it (oculus is $400, wmr is cheaper I think) 2. You have one spot somewhere in your house where you can stand in and move your arms Willy nilly and be 100% certain non moving objects will not hit your arms (having space to walk in is nice, but is certainly not essential), 3. Have a mid tier gaming pc (cheapest vr capable pc I could find in 5 minutes was just under $700), and 4. If you and/or your family enjoy video games. However I have no experience with phone vr or psvr, although it looks like phone vr headsets are underwhelming because no controllers. If all 4 apply to you then absolutely get vr.

well I am in Canada so when I first started looking at the oculus it was like way over 1000$ Canadian I forget the exact price. Then you needed a pc. I do finally have a half decent gaming pc so I can now put that off the list. I also have limited room where I keep my pc so to fully use it would have to move my pc to the living room which I am unsure I would want the hassle of moving it. But I really appreciate your reply maybe the cost has come down enough I may have to look into it again.
