One thing I do have an idea about is - I bet you're a hit at parties.

Some of that shit seems vaguely familiar but if I was to level with you, I probably skipped that class to get drunk and fuck chicks.
I don't break it out unless provoked

Anyway, 360 degree turn from "Pimp-X: NZGAMES Science authority" to "I didn't study science cause I got drunk and fucked chicks"

Mission: complete


Also - phlogistonite was a reference to your mention of pseudoscience.
Phlogiston theory was the prevailing scientific theory in the 18th century - it predates chemistry. It worked in terms of making many predictons; but was still oh so wrong.

Burn down the observatory so we never get hit by an asteroid type of stuff.

Called out, I would prefer to speak for myself. I guess I'm not brave enough to stand alone in this case.

LOL, doh.

Ball fumble before tryline cross D:


Anyway, OCULUS RIFT

I want WIND FEEDBACK. So when I'm going 200k+ in tribes I feel the wind.

Also, the inner ear thing (maybe + force feedback) - you better make damn sure your inertial dampeners stay online in *insert space game here*

Actually an impact suit would make games interesting - different play style if hits actually hurt!

I missed the part where I was the science authority. I do know what hyperbole is though.

Some are easily baited

No baiting. You came in brandishing an epeen that had 'LAYMEN < ME' tatoo'd on the side of it. I exposed you yourself as a layman.

True story. I might write a book about it.

You wouldnt feel the wind in Tribes, because you're in a powersuit.

Damn right you will.

I didn't realise you could actually order them without having joined the kickstarter. I'd have to upgrade my PC... shit, I might actually have to start working five days a week...

Looking good:
Testing the Oculus Rift Development Kit: Team Fortress 2 Virtual Reality

From the video it sounds like they've done ~$10m worth of sales since the kick starter. 40k kits in total.

The order number doesn't necessarily mean sales. 0-10,000 is the Kickstarter batch, of which there were ~7500 kits sold. From what I've read the number is around 11-12,000 units.

I'm off work for a week starting 15th Apr
Here's hoping mine arrives smack on the 15th >

Once I've played with it for a bit, I'm hoping to write a custom driver for games which dont yet (or may never) have Oculus support - effectively creating a huge virtual (although 2D) screen floating in front of the viewer


Hmm I wonder what RTS games will feel like that properly have Rift support. Definitely would feel like the hand of god at work!

Yeah, that seems more accurate. Still, they will quickly hit millions if they manage to exploit the grandma and grandpa market which is only growing.

It looks pretty cool seeing him run about, but I don't think I'd really be into the running about part.
