there's something really interesting about the universal viewing experience of watching someone lock in to a virtual boy and almost immediately enter a subdued fugue, audibly losing self-confidence as they straddle the line between real and virtual
Imagine my surprise when I thought the Waterworld reputation bit was an interesting point of comparison, only for for it to be an actual segue into a Waterworld game.
During some sections of this video it was hard to make out RU-vids progress bar and thus I felt a sensation of having shared the visual challenges depicted
never played with the controller in front of the stand, always behind. also you could play it lying down if you flipped the stand around. it didn't click in all the way, but it also didn't rest entirely on your face
I remember the Wario game was loads of fun, but then again my experience of it was limited to no more than 15 minutes at a time since I was playing it on the display model of my local Zellers. They had somehow rigged it together so that kids could play it standing up and so only my eyeballs hurt, not my spine. Good times.
My dude, thank you for unlocking a nearly identical memory here, down to the Zeller's display. Waiting for their return to cash in all these club Zed points.
Pro Pinball is the most longlived series ever produced with new releases and rich new content every year. From the original game through Fantastic Journey, and all the way up to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.
I believe your stance on rehabilitating the virtual boy is wrong. there is a way to go about doing it, and doing it responsibly; Yes, the eye strain is real, but just like many consumers will GLADLY take the route of emulation even to play much more easily accessable hardware, you can promote this because Nintendo WILL NOT ever provide official ways to pay this thing, and emulation allows for the imsage to be changed to a less damaging palette. Emulators also exist for commercial grade VR headsets in our modern day, and that combination of items outright allows us to LITERALLY rehabilitate the glaring flaws of the virtual boy using far superior hardware. Hell, most virtual boy enthusiasts take the damned things apart and use a 3D printer to make consolized versions of the thing if they're really that allergic to emulation, and even THOSE can correct the red and black color palette!
I never got the appeal of 3d and always thought felt like the appeal of something being immersive by having some level of disorientating extra layer to focus on being silly. That and I can only see out my left eye means most 3d doesn't really work for me or only works in a half arsed way makes me curious as to even VR when all it does is make me sick and aware of that I'm in the art world. Excellent vid as always.
Haha I get it, the joke is that the games are bad. Games are supposed to be fun and good, but these ones just aren't for some reason LOL! Whatever next? 😂
