    It was brilliant!
    I was playing Rez Infinite on it and was very impressed.
    Now I want one.

    I played a shark game on PSVR and the newest Resi demo, I like it but not enough to buy it. I felt a bit unwell after it too. I nearly hit Doom with the controller at one stage lol.
    Ciderman it was so funny watching you play Rez

    Yes, i could hear the giggles!!

    But I want one!!!

    Aside from my glasses filling with perspiration it was a blast.

    Also, you can hook any source up to them, playing them in theatrical mode, so once it has a HDMI out, like a PS3 or 360, you can play them on a massive virtual screen.

    I got back around 7, thanks for everything Dino and Jean.
    NightCry was definitely my favourite game, I'm mad to see what happens in it. Hopefully can get it on the Vita.
    Good to see everyone and Atavan said thanks for everyone saying hi in the video.

    Thanks to all we had an amazing time myself and little ms sparks.

    Vr was amazing but I still have a doubt or two about the health and headache aspect

    Thank you so much for the Arrow Ms Dizzy it's placed above my PC and when things get tough I will look at it and remind myself that I am a very lucky man to have this chance in life.

    Gonna come up with a Christmas Beers date in the coming week or two.
    Any dates that are out of the question, let me know and hopefully we'll accommodate everyone.
    No VR in my house :( Well, maybe, does the Virtual Boy count?

    No problem at all, glad you liked it, just a reminder of what you're aiming for lol jkjk and it's Zeldaish. If I find more maybe I'll do the other 2.

    Any date should fine for me, they're having a dinner thing in work but it's very hard to get out to where it's on so I'll pass on it.
    VB makes you as sick as VR so maybe xD

    Thanks for coming everyone.

    Don't let the headaches on VR put you off too much. I was really bad when I first got it and didn't go back to it for 3 days but since then I've been pretty much fine with it.

    Wish I'd stuck on NightCry earlier, but it's title was generic I completely forgot about it.

    Such a maddeningly old school game but oddly compelling.

    It was great, the Vita version isn't ready yet so I'll have to wait to play it. Hopefully it won't be too long

    Was doing more research on it and apparently a 4th character was a Kickstarter Stretch goal that they didn't hit.

    Make sense, really seems like you should be controlling Jerome at some point as there's a lot of big plot holes around how he ends up in a coffin on the Island and then back on the boat like nothing had happened.

    Okay...
    So, suitable dates for the Arcade & Retro Xmas Beers, in my place.
    How about either Friday the 2nd or Saturday the 10th of December?

    I'm sure someone can plan for the Secret Santa, given that Atavan is selfishly having fun an ocean away!

    Either is fine with me.
    I might take over the Secret Santa, I'll wait and see if anyone else is interested.
    Edit: I think I will do the SS, it'll get my mind off stuff to organize something nice.

    Thinking I'll go along to this also (annoyed I missed Dino's VR special). Will be working from the office that day so can just drive on up afterwards. Will have a few spaces for any regulars that need a lift - as long as you're not too far from the M50 I can make a detour (and I recognise your boardsie name :P).

    It's just under two weeks now until the big night so I hope everyone has their holiday pants at the ready!
    That is to say holiday as in Christmas, not fortnight in Ibiza!

    Looking forward to it, it's always a lovely feeling the Christmas one even though I'm a Scourge through and through :P
