<44.99> Ashes Of Outland expansion pre-purchase bundle for Hearthstone.
<219.99> Switch Lite (yellow) & Animal Crossing
Yellow? Is that a fashion choice, or is it the only one available?
The latter, but I rather like it. Will be easier to find in the dark too.
<41> Half Life : Alyx. Apparently Edge released their review, 9/10, then pulled it before the embargo tomorrow.

I'd kinda committed any way, but oh well it's on my account now.

Good man. Now, do what I've done and get a Link cable ;)

Coming tomorrow! The same Anker one. Might upgrade to the fibre optic official one when it launches.

<15> Anker USB cable.

Mrs Doc and I have done weeks of quarantine without a fight so we fancied a change of pace.

Somehow I didn't even twig it had 2P co-op. Should be interesting, if this household's experience with Overcooked! is anything to go by.

I've just said this to Joans. I listened to video of it he was watching earlier, never occurred to me it might be co-op.

Imagine Overcooked!, but you also have to agree on names for 200 different ingredients represented by abstract blobs.

We probably won't have an issue with that, it'll be agreeing on pronunciation of said names that'll be the problem.
<23> Beat Saber
<23> The Room VR

Both for Oculus Quest
<26> AMVR bits for the Quest - mostly silicone grippy things / knuckle bands for the pads, but also a nose guard cover thingy.

I bet that's dire. I mean, I hope it isn't, but I bet it is.


It is quite good, looks the part. The lad likes the play more than rugby 18. They just don't seem to have the licence for the international kit yet., which is odd.

So you spend well over four grand on stuff for a game that has no reviews yet? Let’s see how that tactic has worked out for you in other instances.


Absolutely not. I built a bleeding edge rig. It had nothing to do with VR. I just decided it was time to order the VR headset with it, but that could easily be used on my PC at my mother's.

Yeah, the delivery date went to end of this month so balls to that.
<15> Virtual Desktop for Oculus Quest
<25> astroneer, PS4.

You can play this while a 3 year old shouts what to do at you. I'm really looking for stuff she can play with physical buttons, on PS4 or my old DS but everything seems a little too complex for such a young age.
