As big as Virtual Reality will become as a medium and community, it is still niche with a close knit commnity.

It was about 6 weeks ago when Nic had endured the loss of his beloved DK2 after just 5 days of use. This loss lead to a deprivation of VRs sweet taste. But alas did the replacement not only arrive for Nic, Brandon too has finally just recieved his DK2.

Today on the show the gents discuss what few games and demos they have had the chance to get into. Along with another shallow look at Magic Leap.

Is This Real Life? The VR Naysayers

purevrn@gmail.com (pureVR) — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 03:59:05 +0000

Virtual Reality was a medium that was first promised over 20 years ago. It came and went, crashing in a fiery mess. Now that we stand on the cusp of the second arrival of virtual reality it is no surprise that naysayers will be there to tell us that history will repeat itself.

Today on the show Edmund Ward of Virtual Reality Reviewer joins us to talk about a particularly hot article and a few other news pieces.
