It actually got me thinking about how I would do a VR game.  I have came up with a decent little idea.

I'm told that Pornhub have been doing VR videos for years, m9. Sorry.

So finally got round to the infamous Jeff level in Half Life Alyx.  It was fun, but not as terror inducing as I was lead to believe.  But that's more the fault of people telling me about it.  I knew what to expect.  It actually got me thinking about how I would do a VR game.  I have came up with a decent little idea.  I have zero art skill or computer programming skill.  I used to be close friends in school with someone who is in the industry.  So you never know.

 

Actually you do, I don't even have his number anymore.

In other words, you've got a great idea, you just need a nerd to finish it off

I use pornhub to finish me off.  Also the guy I used to know was making this ages ago.

I know from the last time I saw him he was working for a gamestudio in Glasgow.  Not seen him in about 8 years.

Whoa, he worked on that cool trailer for the cancelled version of Dead Island 2.

Impressive. Almost gets him off hating football.

Edit: worth seeing again:

Let’s face it.  The dead island one trailer made us all ask who’s chopping onions.

Funny to think about what a big deal that trailer was. I certainly bought the game based on it.

Still enjoyed Dead Island, despite it having nothing to do with the trailer, other than the hotel and zombies!

Same. Even downloaded that song.  I think that trailer, whilst being false advertising really emphasised the emotional impact gaming could bring.  Film has never had that impact on me, save Artax in the swamp of sorrows.

Valve are releasing the Steam Deck, basically a Nintendo Switch for PC games.

I'll be interested to see if this gains any traction. Feels like Valve have released a number of pieces of hardware over the years that didn't really take off. It does sound interesting and promising though.

It took 11 months to arrive but I got one last week. Cracking big handheld.

One of the first things I did was put Champ Man 01/02 on it.

^^^ kens the score

Let us know how well Doom runs, as that's a dealbreaker for me.

The next things I did were

a) to set up Xbox Cloud Gaming, so that I have a portable streaming Game Pass machine. It works surprisingly well - the image quality is a bit fuzzy but lag isn't a concern.

b) to set up Emudeck, which is an all-in-one solution for emulators working through the Steam OS, with the emulators listed as if they are any other game in the Steam library. 

This is some piece of kit.

Great laugh, like most of the tropico games. You could probably get it on CDkeys for cheaper though.

The publishers would probably rather he just pirated it.
