Uh oh. I think CD Projekt Red is about to be sued by PS4 and Xbox One players. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua0k5T7o4tk

Through the lens footage like this isn't perfect because it doesn't show how smooth the refresh rate is, but this should give you an excellent idea of how clear VR is now! Wowsers!

Fun fact. I have over 2400 unused COD gameplay clips from the past month. OOPS! I might have a problem.

Live gameplay of some Humble Bundle games using the new HP Reverb G2 VR goggles soon!!! I have some new ones I haven't even played yet - Walking Dead, A-Tech Cybernetik, Raw Data, and some others...

Until then, check out how clear the picture is in these goggles. This is a huge upgrade and I hope all goggles are at least this good moving forward. (This is not my photo.)

First impressions of the G2. Setup was way more frustrating than it needed to be. (USB driver issue with AMD.) The headset itself is quite comfortable and the screen is AMAZING. I'm definitely seeing details in my games that I didn't before! Though the black levels leave a lot to be desired for me. I also damn near guarantee some plastic is going to break at some point, either the controllers, headstraps or earphones. Full review and comparison probably won't be done for a couple weeks.

This is sort of a weird juncture in gaming. Obviously, with the state of the world and things that won't be specifically mentioned, I think it's more beneficial than ever for maintaining some social interaction and distracting us from the bad things.

That said, there is a big shake-up looming. The recent issues with copyright claims over streamers using game music in the background on Twitch is rather troubling. Until now, it seems that many developers (with the notable exception of Nintendo) turned the other way and treated streamers as basically free publicity for their games.

Now that more regular (non famous) people are streaming games though, it seems really unfair to me to apply these standards. To clarify, I think stealing a musician's work for your stream without their express permission has always been wrong, but to apply copyright laws in the same way to the masses well after some have thrived without repercussions... That just seems massively unfair to me.

But, as I am also a musician, it also reeks of opportunities for licensing original music to people willing to invest in it. Assuming of course, that this recent wave of copyright strikes doesn't implode streaming!!! Strange times indeed.

The technology we have today for streaming is nothing short of amazing, but I still miss OG Halo LAN parties with this thing...

Finally! I pre-ordered these goggles back in July (Something I would never usually do, but could accept the risk on this one.) They are finally shipping! I should have some initial impressions and gameplay pretty soon! I can't wait to play all of my VR titles again in extreme fidelity!!! https://uploadvr.com/hp-reverb-g2-starts-shipping-to-retailers/

Don't expect any last-minute delays for the highly anticipated HP Reverb G2; the headset is now shipping out to retailers.

Heck to the yeah. Some of these new features look absolutely amazing!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N-SS0MT3zE

This new ZOMBIE game mode looks incredibly entertaining. Can't wait to play later with friends!

The theme for this week's episode is TEAMWORK. Although I'm starting to develop as a player, the best thing I can do is support the team. We are consistently finishing well. Honestly, we already had some wins weeks ago, but I didn't feel like I earned those yet. So the series will probably continue until we have a dominating win.

Playing catch up with editing for my channel lately, so I haven’t had quite as much content recently, but I promise a lot more is coming for the rest of the year!!! A few things of note:

First of all, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who followed my page here and took a few moments to watch or leave a comment. Little things really aggregate, and I’m impressed at the progress so far even though I am starting from nothing. You guys are my bread and butter, my toast and jam, and I love you for it. THANK YOU.

I enjoy making videos of my own gameplay or having fun with friends, but I truly feel this broadcasting technology is wasted solely on games, and with my background, I can make this into a lot more. So that said, I have a lot of ideas for ways to open this up to a broader audience. Stay tuned for all kinds of weird things like music and even a possible nature ASMR video. (you can find me on YouTube now: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEhDvphTMiEU8AKix0SMSCg/)

In the spirit of what I just mentioned, I’m conducting my first interview tonight on the general topic of how gamers are coping with the isolation of COVID. The full title is not determined, but I’m pretty excited about the possibilities here. Some of you have already expressed interest in this project, and I will be contacting you soon-ish to try and schedule a date if the first one goes well and I sort out some technical issues. If you’re interested in this topic or generally just want to catch up or even promote your art, contact me and we will make it happen this fall!

Following the death of Stalin, Varlam Shalamov recounted the details of his 15-year stint in the Soviet gulag in Kolyma Stories, or "tales from the gulag." This is not that book. Instead, you will find a collection of wild and whimsical COD: Warzone clips!

Parking this here to share with the team later. This gun def seems like an all around better version of the Kar98k. Plus MythicTreez is just absurd at this game.

Going live in about an hour! I didn't quite get everything together yesterday but I'm back with more new graphics, sights, sounds, and ideas. I also improved the bitrate of my stream by 3X so we should have some high fps now too.
