Question for any:

With the Steam sale this weekend full of anime games - is there any in the list that anyone recommends?

Microsoft announced this morning that Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for Windows 7/8 users for the first year it is available.  This is good news.  I've been using Windows 10 on the Bobulator since October and I'm really pleased with it.  The start menu is back and fully functional again, snap functionality is better than ever, and there are some really nice improvements in various aspects of performance.

Wow, I wonder what is causing them to have some good will and give this out for free?!

Is there a link for an approved site when it becomes available?

The tech preview is available here.  This is the one released in October:

https://insider.windows.com/

A big update is going to hit sometime in the next week.  Presumably you'll be able to roll this into the final general-availability release, but no promises.

Sorry about the infrequent posts, I've been traveling constantly on business.  Anyway, it looks like Pirate Bay is formally back.  I've been using OldPirateBay the past few weeks, but it'd be nice to see an official PB again!

After getting burned by Oculus, Valve has officially partnered with HTC to create a VR device called Vive.  Perhaps most surprisingly, it's supposed to be available for purchase by the end of the year.



The device also has a base station that scans your physical surroundings and allows you to walk around in virtual space and meat space.  I have no clue how this is going to work, considering the device is wired.  It also seems like it would harm immersion more than it would help it, considering the textures and objects are going to differ between the two.

I was unable to get into the Valve VR demo at GDC, but I did try the latest Crescent bay from Oculus... it is very very nice! Much improved / removed screen door, very accurate orientation and positional tracking... and it is freaking light. Scary light, i didnt really feel it. It also has positional audio, which very much adds to the realism. I can't wait to buy the consumer version!!

I'm glad to hear the Oculus is getting lighter.  I think that would have been my number one complaint with the DK2.

How is the audio solution?  Is it permanently integrated, or can it be removed and swapped for a different headset?

I had to stare at that for a minute to figure out what the heck you were trying to say.  Congratulations!  It's about time the geeks started reproducing!

Here's some juicy pre-E3 goodness.  First, Nintendo announced today that Mother 1 (aka Earthbound Zero, or the game that pre-dated Earthbound for the SNES) is going to see it's first North American release ever on the Wii U Virtual Console.  As a diehard Earthbound fan, this is fantastic news!  I've played Mother 2/EB and Mother 3, but I've never sat down to play through the game that started it all!

Also, in even more exciting news, Square Enix is toying with my emotions with this teaser video...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrSH2wKh6ys

It's a crappy teaser that reveals absolutely nothing, but it's set to a remix of Frog's Theme from Chrono Trigger.  I would happily sell a limb for a good Chrono Trigger followup, or even a high-quality update or remake of the original (assuming it's handled with the love it deserves).

So there we have it, two of my favorite games getting some kind of nod at E3 2015.  Good times!
