I just played through Vader Immortal Ep1 on my Rift. It's not a sophisticated game, but wow, if you ever wanted to actually be *in* a Star Wars movie, this is the way to do it! I just hope there's a bit more gameplay in the following episodes. Also, although being able to wield a lightsaber...

Frozen 2 - This one is definitely a mixed bag. The soundtrack is nowhere near the quality of the first film, and the first half of the movie needed serious editing. There's an entire subplot and song with Kristoff that should've been completely cut. On the plus side, the movie manages to pull...

The Lighthouse Main Reaction: What. The. F*ck. More details: I saw The Witch recently and it was enjoyable, and this move currently has 91% critic and 83% audience on RT so I figured Eggers' second film would be good. It's not completely terrible, but it wasn't for me. The film is shot in...

I saw Glass on Saturday, I give it 7/10. I was worried about the low RT score (currently 37%), but I think they got it wrong this time. It's not a perfect movie but I thought it was a very good conclusion to the trilogy (Unbreakable/Split/Glass). Also notice that the RT audience score is 79%...

This would be awesome - I would definitely buy a Quest if I could use it in tethered mode with full graphics from my 1070, or as a standalone unit with the limited graphics it provides. But I don't think that feature is there today.

Streaming is never going to work for VR, because of the latency requirements for actions like turning your head. Trying to stream that would almost certainly make everyone sick.

The Oculus Quest is very interesting, but I'm concerned about how much 3D horsepower they can really fit into a standalone unit that is only $400 - especially one that has a resolution higher than the Rift.

What book(s) are you reading right now?

I'm also reading that, but I'm back on Summer Knight. Enjoying it so far, though I don't think I'm going to read the whole thing right now. I have books 1-6. Can you recommend a good stopping point? It does seems like the series has been building up to something. EDIT: Looked around a bit...

If anyone tries out Marvel Powers United VR, I'd be curious to hear your report.

Great, now I just need a quad-1080Ti PC setup to run that thing.

I haven't played for quite a while, but I'll probably jump back in once this latest expansion is out.

VLAN design help!

I'm not trying to be offensive, but it sounds like you are attempting to design a network but have absolutely no idea what you are doing. You should seriously consider hiring professional help for this project. An important question that no one seems to have asked is what is the topology of...

What book(s) are you reading right now?

I just finished The Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton. It's essentially one huge novel split into 2 books. Humanity has invented wormhole technology and spread across dozens of planets, but then discovers a puzzling star that seems to have been instantly enclosed by what they originally...

This series starts out well but goes sadly downhill after book 3-4.
