HTC Vive VR

[oO00Oo]

I picked up the HTC Vive and built a gaming computer for the kids this Christmas. I'm so totally winning Christmas this year.

Right on...plunk the little fuckers in front of a computer screen so they keep out of your way

I will enjoy playing too. You got something against video games?

I wanna get fucked up
And then hit undo
Get hooked up
To download some kung fu
I wanna be free
Of all responsibility
I want a TV
Right on my retina please

I have built a high-performance PC in years. All I do nowadays is cabanalize old systems to resurrect as Linix desktops or FreeBSD appliances.

My wife and my daughter are [*shudder*] casual gamers.

We have come full circle.

I remember playing "Airborne!" on a b+w Apple Macintosh.

Now you can literally be IN the game in beautiful 4k resolution.

The thing that freaked me out the most was the SSD. I remember when a hard drive was larger than a stick of gum.

I just got my first 4TB HD. I pulled the tiny thing out of an air-light shipping box and actually said, “Get the fuck outta here.”

I mean, I was working with big clunky RAIDS not to long ago.
