  1. I play a lot of retro games. Anything I can do?
  2. Us Nexus users have attended the Nexus funeral. Google didn't show up.

  3. It depends on how much shipping costs are.
  4. Your eyes are seeing movement, and your body is moving as well. Your eyes see things passing by, and your body is moving as you are riding in the car.
  5. There are a lot of examples of motion sickness. In the case of controller-driven VR, your eyes see a lot of movement, but your body isn't moving at all. Mismatch of signals - or "sensory conflict" - can cause motion sickness.
  6. IMO, I don't think PSVR will be great with controller-driven launch titles. I have to admit, I did start to feel a bit of motion sickness when playing EVE: Valkyrie.
  7. So I got to try out a PlayStation VR at my local EB Games store (yes, I am a Canadian). Here are my thoughts on it. I would of posted this in reviews but this is an unreleased product. Now I've tried out an HTC Vive at a Microsoft Store as well, so I should get an idea of what VR should be like. Design Now obviously you're not gonna use this device as a fashion statement but I thought this was worth mentioning. The PlayStation VR looks like it came from the future. I'm not sure why, maybe it's those blue lights along with the white with the black accent. Or maybe it's the fact that the device uses a very simple design. It's really clean and tidy. There's a singular cable that hangs down on the left side of the device, and it splits into 2 cables so that you can connect it to the link box. Comfort The headset is really comfortable. The headband is similar to a pair of headphones. It's plastic on the outside, but inside, there's a soft cushion. It's very comfortable. There's still plenty of room for headphones to be seated as well. (Well, that depends on the headphones and the size of your head.) A pair of glasses will also fit. (Again, that depends on the shape and size of your glasses frame.) Adjustment There are 2 buttons underneath the display and on the back of the headset for adjusting the distance between the display and your eyes, and the headband to get a good fit, respectively. All you need to do is hold down a button, then slide the part back and forth. It's that simple. Incorrectly adjusting the display will result in a blurry picture. The Experience Now here's the part you all want to know about. What was it like to actually use the thing? Now here were the demos on offer: I chose EVE: Valkyrie because that's the only thing I've heard of. I would of tried Battlezone, but I really need to see the original arcade machine to see how Battlezone for the PlayStation VR is any different from the original game. (I know I can find videos of it online, but it's not the same as actually experiencing it due to all the fancy stuff Atari put on the machine.) It might just be me, but even when I adjusted the headset, I could still see a part of the store. That's not good! But when I was focused on the game, I barely even noticed it. As for graphics, I am sad to report that the PlayStation VR did not meet up to my expectations. The HTC Vive was much better at producing HD graphics. For the PSVR, imagine a 360p video, but a bit sharper than that. Yes. That's the best way I can describe this VR headset. It also seems that the pixels aren't really dense, becuase you can still see some pixels from within the unit. One thing I can say is that it has a slightly better FOV than other headsets. Latency shouldn't be a problem as it is quite quick at tracking your head motions. Like the Oculus Rift, the PlayStation VR is a seated VR experience, unless you got the software that supports room-scale and 2 Move controllers. That's an entirely different story. So what do I think of it? I'm mixed with this thing. The price and benefits are there, but the experience isn't great. It has a chance of being a success, but I have my doubts. What do you guys think? Cast your vote in the poll!
  8. Using the default Disk Management app that comes with Windows 10, you can only shrink your partition to about 467 GB. You can go past this limit with a 3rd party application such as EaseUS Partition Manager, which may mess up your computer (seriously, I corrupted system files this way).
  9. If you do the math, 300 GB should be 307,200 MB. 1 GB = 1024 MB So if you need 300 GB reserved for Windows, multiply 300 GB by 1024 MB. 300 GB *1024 MB = 307,200 Also, the picture is corrupted.
  10. Did you already do it? Because there is a way to fix this issue without reinstalling. I know you don't want to fix it, but trust me, it'll be worth the time.
