Good lord, TEN DAYS? I swear it's been 3. Beware the VR world folks, it can readjust your life.
 
So as promised in the last entry, I had to make a flat video essay to properly explain what the hell is going on...
 
 
Those opening shots of the arcade were so FUCKING hard I can't begin to tell you. Easy enough to do in VR, crazy difficult when trying to screen capture in a nicer resolution on PC rather than doing it in headset. But whew, it's done. Did it during timeouts and halftime during the Laker game yesterday. Oh, and they're also done. Luka... whew. I had no idea what defensive liability meant until I really watched you play. Goodness. To be outshined by a 40 year old (3 blocks and 3 steals yesterday)?!?! You need an off-season training regimen. Not to quote Nico, but yeah, uhm, defense wins championships brother. Could he legit be too slow to do it? Is the only way he ever wins is if his co-star is a bonafide center? Whew.
 
ANYWAY...
 
So yeah, I've gone pretty deep into the arcade side of EmuVR, to the point of talking to the dude releasing the Ultimate Arcade hack and helping him test stuff. He's even made some cabinets specifically by request and I've been learning how to make my own UGC (it's hard). The whole community is amazing (shoutout to xStartoy in France!) and for once I feel like I'm part of a community that won't hate me if I'm good at something or tell me I'm not a TRUE fan. Fucking hell. xStartoy even shared his screen with me and walked me through setting up modeling through Blender and Unity and outputting it as UGC for EmuVR. That's how I was able to get the Fastest Delorean posters in the arcade (yeah you don't just import pics!). Cool people all around.
 
Anyway - I also made a VR180 version of this video because that crowd HAS to see this and there's no viable way to capture this stuff in VR180 (even though there damn sure should be). You have to do it super low-res and it's just a problem. So here's that...
 
 
And now I can focus on a memorial video for a guy you should all know, and sadly - you didn't: Sam Macaroni.
