ECHO CHAMBER EPISODE 163

TOO FAST TO LIVE, TOO YOUNG TO DIE, JAMES DEAN!

-Rock Band 4 Update Notes

-This what it looks like when a head expands. PREPARE FOR DISAPPOINTMENT!
oh...

-Lifehacker Bastard's EPIC LIFE HACKS!
1. Build your bed on top of an incline, then in the morning, roll off your bed and into your "dresser"
2. Save time on your morning routine by shaving your head and sleeping on the floor. No bed to make, and no hair to fuss over!
3. Impress your friends at parties by whipping your dick out, then say, "It's Only A Scale Model!"
4. Awkward situation with a co-worker? ut them in a chokehold!


-VR is the latest thing in gaming, so I guess we have to talk about it. Mystakin's fears of people messing with him while he's got the headset on are not unfounded, but he could just lock his door. There seems to be a lot of possible applications, but none that really necessitate it. It seems that the new wave in VR is attributed to "Hey, we can only make this thing KINDA expensive instead of STUPID expensive"

Yeah, but while Jeff goes to puzzles, mine goes to vacations and travel. If Second Life hadn't completely shit the bed, or if Dead Or Alive Extreme wasn't "yeah vacation simulator BUT DUDE CREEP ON THEM TITTIES" those would be the kind of games I want to see.

I think the things the Echo Crew as a collective don't want to see are scary-ass heights and drowning.
Like, that cat game looks scary as hell, but BROKEN when you step to either side and walk on the ledge like in cartoons.

The only place I'd want to do this is in VR:

I actually said "Fuckin White People" the second this image finished loading.

-Navigating NY as a native New Yorker seems like the easiest thing in the world. Eventually you learn to make things relative to points on the subway and parse it our from there. In Manhattan all the streets and Avenues are numbered, so you have less than nothing to worry about. Same thing here in Florida, I base everything off of what exist it is off the 95.
-Giant Bomb VR Highlights:

-Jeff's VR Escape Room sounds really interesting. I'm very into the idea of cooperative type games where everyone is working with limited information such as SpaceTeam and Keep Talking..., and games that focus on deductive reasoning like Picross and Sudoku.

He mentioned where a person can only see in one spectrum, like infrared, but what about adding things like night vision/thermal goggles, or where one player doesn't look in front of them, but only looks at the rooms via security cam footage, who maybe has the power to lock/unlock doors?

So, here's how I'd scope it out:
Let's say, you're in a dark room. The player with thermal vision sees that there's a body lying on the floor in the room. He walks over to it, where he calls on the night vision goggles player to get a closer look. The body is inside a box on the floor, which is locked with a combination lock. The player with security camera vision can see that someone wrote down the code on the wall in the other room, so he relays it to the other players, Night Vision Goggles can see the lock, so he opens it up and finds a man slowly bleeding out, and has a switch on his body. They trigger the switch and feel a room "rumble". Thermal vision goggle player sees a flash go off, security camera player sees that a bomb has blown a hole in the wall in the other room, and the night vision goggle player looks for damage.

Quick hit, and Jeff is WAY better with puzzles, but it's a really good idea.

-Furry Donald Trump


-When it comes to Furry Political Cartoons, this is the only one worth mentioning. THE ONLY ONE!

-Pokemon Snap is getting a version on the Wii U.... as a virtual console title. While it's not what we're all hoping for, any chance to revisit that old standby is fine by me!

-Tracer is essentially The Scout for Overwatch. She's the I'M A GUN FAST AND HAVE WUSSY GUNS! character. This was her "Over The Shoulder" victory pose originally:

HERE IS MY ANUS FOR YOUR OGLING M' LORD. It's generic "Female Action Movie" pose.

You're not going to kill Team Fortress 2 with that lack of pizzazz, sister.
With this new version, it copies a pin up poster, she at least looks like she's having some measure of fun:


And Paolo's right, she does have the Sonic hair.

This kind of thing shouldn't be regarded as "SJWS INFILTRATING VIDEO GAMES!", or "MAYBE SHE SHOULD WEAR A BURKA WOULD THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY FEMINANZIS?whatislogic", it should be seen as encouragement to always try something different. I'm the kind of guy who wishes we'd respond to every Tropes vs. Women video not with an hour-long video debunking every second as you sit in front of your fake skulls and Ayn Rand books, but with a "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED"

I'D RATHER NOT EPISODE 6
The one BIG criticism I have with this question was that he gave away too much at the beginning. Part of the fun of these is that the options get worse and worse as we ask more questions, but everything was kinda laid out in the beginning.
