Quoting: devnullFun fact, I've had mine for less then six months and the batteries are already having problems holding charge.
Batteries, where? The controllers? Are they not replaceable?
Valve continue to make VR easier with their new SteamVR Input system

Liam, after the new Vive sets came the prices on the old Vive model have dropped like a rock on the second hand market, here in Norway at least. So well worth keeping an eye on!

I need to upgrade my PC before I can think of attaching a VR set, but plan to do so once the next generation Nvidia are out, rumoured to be this July. I hope for a price drop on the 1080 then. :)

Oh yes, PUH-LEASE. And with a female protagonist too. I'm gonna rock this place fo' sho'. :)

EDIT:
Interestingly, this game has earlier failed to be backed, pitched as a "A multiplayer, open-world action RPG made for small team based adventures":

There we can see that the Linux platform was planned/promised from the start.

Seriously, this is a bloody brilliant concept of a survival type game, if done right! Not the nonsense that is found in this poor attempt of being "funny", but a real effort and a real budget, set in a living breathing open world megacity. The setting is perfect, when you think about it! You logically own nothing at the beginning except what's in your pockets and it makes total sense, the entire society wants nothing to do with you, you're chased off everywhere, cops on your back, violent gangs, it could work like crazy!

I could be inclined to buy it once it's on Steam. At least one major barrier is down.
The Steam Hardware Survey had some flaw causing cyber cafes to be over-counting users

I bet the problem relates to viritualisation? If I were a cafe owner I'd virtualize every os instance exposed to the customers to easily wipe clean the machines regularly.

I voted with my wallet on this one. Sitting there shiny and seductive on my Steam account.

Quoting: GuestReally, when skeletons have no lungs but are talking annoys you, but the fact that they're skeletons but are alive doesn't?
Yup! :-)
I've explained why in a reply further up on this page.

Quoting: BeamboomI'm such a dull person. When I watched the video, I thought, "how can that guy scream "waaaaaaa!" with no head?".
If you had played the game and read their description, you'd know they have a boom box embedded in their necks producing the aaaaaaah sounds. Mental wanted humans to hide and cower in fear when they heard that sound. He/it/she found that it was really boring to have human soldiers blow up without even knowing what happened to them with the stealthy v1.0 bomb soldiers.
Hahaha - really? That's fantastic! :D
