Get your game on!

Well with your crappy machine it probably was just OK

Today I discovered that I could run a virtual big screen display using the aptly named BigScreen. This allows me to run Dirt Rally on a virtual 100" curved screen sitting feet away. While not full the full VR experience (which is coming soon) it is pretty incredible.

After that I have re-configured the rig to sit in the corner of my media room and used a little used guest room tv for the display until I get into the Oculus. This makes just ducking in for a game easier.

More work to be done on the wire management and I need to sell my TrackIR now but overall very pleased.

The only negative I can come up with is the least glare on the Oculus is annoying (Vive is supposed to be better due to different fresnel lenses). It's a minor issue in the racing I've done so far though I'm guessing it is be more annoying in a night rally.

Edit: ran a night rally stage and while present I think it was basically a non issue for gameplay

Doom

Actually after reviewing the steam sales you could actually save a few bucks on G2A buying stuff.  Pretty sad and get an additional 3% by using the code: NADIA

Thank you steam sale.

I got bored being too far ahead on Azure Coast in Project Cars and decided to turn around and ram Grahame, which got me DQed. But it did let me catch this shot of Brent stealing a road sign:

Starting this. It looks and runs damn good on PC in 21:9 ultrawide 3440x1440.

Project Cars racing kicking off at 9 pm eastern. Hope you West Coast guys can join

I guess a 1080 helps

[Dreadhead]

That was a lot of fun even if I was driving poorly and missing breaking points left and right. I have never done "the ring" before, that was cool but doing it for the firs time in an Le Mans prototype was probably not my best choice.

[TMoney]

Who knew Colin could drive like that?

 

[MexicanDragon]

I still don't think that was him. How do you go from 4 minutes/lap behind to actually winning?

I'm down for some drinking heavily and KF2 this weekend. When is the VR version coming out? I have this Rift and want to use it.

[Fitz]

If you're itching for more VR stuff, why not give this a try?

I'm at work; it's blocked. What's it called?

**BRENT**

[Fitz]

"BUTTS: The VR Experience"

[MexicanDragon]

Heh. All my stuff will show up in Xavier's account as well. Perhaps I should just get it on his handle and be like "You're grounded!"

**BRENT**

[Fitz]

Well it's only 99 cents.
