1:18 BLASPHEMY
you didn't mention the entire HALF LIFE series

[theeyehead]

1:15 did you just call Steam 'infamous'?

[TheRubbaRazza]

Wait, did they just say that Steam's "Infamous"?

[nolaz]

Leaderboard: "Valve has huge titles to their name!"

Me: "Half-Life!"

Leaderboard: "...Including Portal, TF2, and Left 4 Dead."

Perhaps, one day, I can save up 800 dollars. And then, I will finally be able to buy a computer that can run VR. Then, 800 dollars more, and I can actually get a headset for said VR.

I watched this video using Virtual Desktop for my Vive.

lmao

[TheOmmadawn]

mine arrived yesterday and I'm blown away. Better than I hoped and played for 6 hours on just two games! Going back to 2D games felt old. The future is bright.

[gruuthuse]

I know only one thing beauty is connected to my pc AND I LOVE IT !!!

[mrtannzr]

"mac gamers" AHHAHAHA!!!! great joke guys!

[SomeGuy-lqfd]

I ordered my HTC Vive today. I CAN'T WAIT!

[qubetown]

That pronunciation of linux offends me

[hackermanblue]

I think it's funny that the speaker thinks fresnel lenses are what makes you see in 3D. Does your eyes have their own fresnel lenses? No they dont. Yet you can see in 3D.

"Keep in mind that any longer than 4 hours means that VR could start taking over your life"
...Yeah, why do you think we're trying to get it?

[Bricklemore]

With the 4 straight hours quote for the controller battery.

I was operating a Vive at a convention and the Controllers under constant load lasted from 7am to 6pm before dying.

[NoobinPyjamas]

15:54 did you just say 2 *MAN* team?!.... * TRIGGERED *

[Clairvoyant]

a) It's not the lenses that allow you to see 3D, but the fact that you get two different pictures from slightly offset view points for your two eyes, also known as stereoscopy... the lenses, AFAIK, are necessary because without them the screens would just be a blurry mess thanks to being so close to your eyes and their inability to properly focus on that distance. Just put a finger roughly 5 or 6cm away from either one of your eyes and try to focus on that.

b) It's really sad you didn't even mention the Half-Life series when talking about Valve's games... and calling Steam infamous is a bit of a stretch, IMO.

I personally have the Rift, though I played on both vr systems. I only got the Rift because it was on sale, not because it was the better one. They both have their pros and cons. They both have tracking, but the vive has all you need to start playing right away. If you want to have tracking on the rift like the vive, you need 3 if not 4 sensors so you can turn around in games and not glitch around. You will still have a lot of space to move around but only differs a few square feet from the vive. The Rift is lighter and already has headphones on them. The rift is also more, move friendly so if you wish to have a vr that you could take to a friends house, its not a huge hassle. Last but not least, the rift is by far faster setting up. It takes me about 5-10 minutes where as the vive takes around 45 minutes.

You unfortunately missed the "hidden" extra usb port you can use in the headset.  The plastic panel that the cables pass through can be pushed forward and you will find an empty usb recessed enough for most regular usb plugs to fit down in.  Great for usb gaming headsets.

Bonus fact: Unity made another VR game that released for PSVR, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive: SUPERHOT VR. This was a collaborative between Unity and the SUPERHOT Team.
