Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 There would be a strong chance that lot would lead to divorce number 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Due to use, or the cost, or both? Probably both, to be honest. Not good as my gaming was a factor in my first divorce apparently. Although I maintained that as my ex "batted for the other team", what else was I supposed to do with my spare time??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaiSan Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Although I maintained that as my ex "batted for the other team", what else was I supposed to do with my spare time??? Watch?

Donziboy2 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 That does sound like a good exercise plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECHO Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Bit of a late post but that's something I actually only looked into myself. The oculus I already knew about but that running thing is pretty cool too. That being said, I would probably have to get in shape just to be able to use that for my hours-long gaming sessions. Which is not so much a con (need to get in shape anyway), but is still a point to make. Edit: I'd probably be fine without the simulated hits by bullets and such, though it still sounds pretty awesome.

XJackerooX~SPARTA~ Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I forgot to mention I'll be kickstarting ALL of these devices over the next few months. 1st: Oculus Rift, 2nd: Delta SIX 3rd: ARAIG 4th: Omni Crawler... If all goes according to plan, ill be a cave dwelling hermit and ill have to tether myself to the ground to keep from getting blown away from strong gusts of wind lol.
