    Do you take care of your feet?

    Last time I went for my mani and pedi, a woman had her young daughter there and she said “mom why is there a guy here?”  Before I could even react, my wife turned to me and said “this is why we won’t have kids. They ruin everything.”

    Thinking about getting a Oculus Rift or Vive. Any impressions?

    It is a snapshot of a product’s life cycle and doesn’t discuss any factors like seasonality into its analysis and has a great click bait title. 

     

    HTC’s “PR piece” will either be substantiated or not when it reports its numbers. It would be rather foolhardy to lie about it on their website. 

     

    And what fucking cause are you talking about?  I simply replied that HTC has refuted that article publicly by saying its headsets are selling well. I could care less if it succeeds or not.

    Guys, so is For Honor mainly a multiple focused game?

     

    I know there is a few hours of single player, but have any of you played it, or have it?

     

     

    Actually For Honor has a singleplayer campaign with a story and it’s pretty decent! The campaign covers all 3 factions so it is a great place to learn the mechanics and find which faction and class you like.

    ManU, probably a lot of back slapping going on when they came up with the idea and when they got a workable prototype.

     

    Kudos to that one guy who stood up and said, "You know how we could even go just a bit further with this?"

     

    I love it when people sometimes get together and decide to do good and noteworthy things.

    It sounds like it started as a pet project for some engineers and turned into something great. It was smart of Microsoft once they made a decision to sell the product to bring in the AbleGamers Foundation for their input and testing.

    It seems to me like a bad time to get into it, unless you are able to just get a headset cheap and plow through all the existing content.  I think this iteration of VR is a sinking ship.

    Pretty sure that MS had planned some VR for the One X and stopped pursuing it when the sales numbers started dropping for all the competitors in the space.

    The article you linked is using Amazon Sales Charts as the main evidence to support their claim which is ridiculously flimsy and has already proven wrong by HTC.

    As for the Op, both have their strengths and weaknesses. I would instead create a list of games you want to play and see what device is better for the games you want. 

     

    If you are unsure of VR and have a Pro, I would suggest PSVR since it is much cheaper to try out and has some great games.
