Well, I recently moved, and there are no internet options here whatsoever. No possibility for DSL, satellite is too expensive and requires at least a two year contract, and no cable. So, this limited service on my blackberry is all I have.

Obviously, I won't be on IRC for a while, since cell phone service here is two bars at best. And stupid ATT charges extra for blackberry tethering. We're thinking of getting a laptop connect card, but that may not even work.

So, in the meantime, I've been playing a crapton of games. Already beat Castlevania, and have nearly everything to get (100% maps, all but Albus's glyph, only missing two enemy's drops, etc.) I've been playing through Fallout 2 in anticipation of 3. And of course, plenty of Mother 3 (yayyy!). Megaman 9 is too busy kicking my ass to let me progress much.

So, if I can get a laptop connect card to work, I'll be back around. Otherwise, I'm not moving to a more "connected" place until February.

Wah, that sucks. I know what it's like to have no internet. I had withdrawal symptoms.

Hopefully you'll manage just fine.

Whatever god you believe in, may that god help you through this now.
Unless you don't believe in any. Then you're fucked.

I think I'd go absolutely bug-nuts without a real internet connection. 56k....UGH! Might as well be browsing on the DS.

I feel for ya man.

I freak out when I don't have internet for just three days let alone out right... I'm addicted to AIM more than anything really. Dedication that you typed all of that on your cell phone, proper grammar and all.

    VR had the chance to integrate with existing games and tech but VR companies said "NO, I WANT MY SHIT TO BE STANDALONE AND MY GAMES EXCLUSIVE TO FACEBOOK"

    Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.

    The tech isn't there for affordable power enough VR headsets at a good market value yet sadly, oculus had a good idea but didn't have enough funds for marketing iirc
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But now it's "can I use my VR set with my racing games, that would be neat?" "ONLY IF YOU USE OUR DILDOSTICK CONTROLLERS AND RUN THE GAME ON OUR ANDROID-UNDERPOWERED BRICK"

  • Veho @ Veho:
    The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.
