I don't disagree with Fish being antagonistic at all. It's how he got famous in the first place. But the constant dickwaggery on the "other side" doesn't really help either.

The Oculus VR

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/no-one ... 0-6416822/

Everything about this article is annoying to me, the guy presenting it by taking off 3 days a week from golf, to the comment about not caring about "greater visual fidelity".

The comment section is just full of distaste for this thing, i think your better off wasting money on a "Ouya" or a "Steam Box"

My opinion is its crap and will not take off ever, it will remain niche as the virtual boy (without the red burn).

Maybe you agree with me, maybe you support the VR, maybe you just dont care.

But as a gamer i like to sit down pick up a controller and play in front of a TV screen, i like to immerse myself in the game, but i dont want to literally feel like by having to turn my head side to side.

I think the occulus is a pretty fascinating device and I'd like to try one out sometime.

The internet is simply full of dickwaggery, I just think part of being a public figure online is being able to tolerate that.

People do egg him on though (or well, they did, I haven't heard anything about him in a long time) and I don't think that helps any.

Yes, youll "Try it out" and think its kinda cool, but you wont buy one and replace your consoles with it.

It wont ever be mainstream, im waiting for it to crash and burn so i can laugh at EA, then that douche can go back to golfing.

"replace your consoles?"

...you do realize that Occulus is an accessory right?

Why would anyone want it to fail? It's another, fun, different option. Why not have it around? You can always not buy it if it doesn't interest you.

Like your opinion matters anymore than mine. most the mods here seem pretty "dickwaggery" like they know it all.

I couldn't give a poop about the Oculus VR either, but whatever. Some people will like it.

And I actually do like the Virtual Boy. 8)

I love the VB, and almost every game for it.

It was neat when it was released, and I still think it is neat.

Although it hasn't happened in what seems like years, when my power goes out due to weather, the VB provides me with all types of fun.
