It’s been a while
Over the last couple of months I have had a bit of … fun. My new computer started restarting randomly more and more often until it suddenly wouldn’t start up, it turned out to be a failed BIOS chip on the motherboard, so I have been going through the RMA Process. Aside from that I […]

Lots of Minecraft VR News today
Today 3 Minecraft VR related things happened. The first, and probably the largest one is that the official Minecraft VR version came out today, it uses Minecraft Windows 10 edition, and you need to own a copy of Minecraft Windows 10 edition to play the VR edition. As an interesting sidenote, if you have the […]

Rift hardware DRM removed?
I woke up this morning to some interesting news, it appears that Oculus removed the hardware DRM that they had added to their store in Version 1.4. If they meant to do this, it’s very nice news, as this should make it easier to use other headsets with Rift games. It is still recommended to […]

First of all, Fallout 4 is going to be getting VR support, so far they have been talking […]

Minecrift Mod is coming to Vive
The Minecrift mod for Minecraft has allowed people to play the Java version of Minecraft on the Oculus Rift. Playing Minecraft on the Rift is very fun, they recently released an update which made it compatible with the Oculus SDK 0.8, after a fairly long wait. Now on top of that, they’re planning on supporting […]

The HTC Vive will reportedly cost $799
I find it funny that people were going on about how the Vive would cost so much less than the Oculus back when the price was revealed back in early January. I felt that the fact that there’ll be more hardware coming with the Vive would cause the price to be higher, and it appears […]
