chummer Posted June 11, 2015 Damn. Feel like this event is rolling up so fast. I'll say the thing that about most excited about E3 this year is seeing Austin Walker help cover it with the GB crew. Oh, and whatever Fallout 4 thing we'll see and possible The Last Guardian (b/c I'm hopeless). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eRonin Posted June 11, 2015 Nintendo knocked it out of the park last year, and I'm super keen to see what they bring this time around. I love the Treehouse people and their love for the games they showcase is clearly evident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Posted June 11, 2015 Oculus Live event starts in 15 minutes, for anyone who is interested. http://www.twitch.tv/oculus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ewan Posted June 11, 2015 Microsoft at the Oculus event: "Hey do you want to play Xbox One games in VR?" "Umm...sure...I guess" "Great! All you need is an Xbox One, a powerful PC with Windows 10, and an Oculus Rift to play them in a crappy looking virtual cinema...but you get a controller for free!"

tegan Posted June 11, 2015 Also, their fucking sizzle reel crashed. Not gonna lie, Oculus Touch (the weird controller things) looks goddamn amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aprettycooldude Posted June 11, 2015 So... what now? Sony has Morpheus, Microsoft has Oculus (let's be real, it's a Microsoft product now), and Vive/SteamVR is on the table (potentially as the 'PC' equivalent)? VR is gonna get crazy in the next year.

Dewar Posted June 11, 2015 I feel like the "internet of things" has probably had its time and is done as a phrase. I think it would feel oddly dated to hear it mentioned now. This must have been before Windows 10: Internet of things Core edition was announced, proving that tech companies are still behind every trend ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mangela Lansbury Posted June 11, 2015 I only ever see internet of things pop up in tech security stuff, usually just to point out that if someone wants to take over your fridge you are fucked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dewar Posted June 11, 2015 The only reason I know is the Tested podcast. I had to Google to make sure it was true before I posted it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cordeos Posted June 11, 2015 I only ever see internet of things pop up in tech security stuff, usually just to point out that if someone wants to take over your fridge you are fucked I saw a story recently about how connected appliances make it easy to steal wifi passwords Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted June 11, 2015 This is good for adding to my list of reasons why the Internet of Things is a bad idea, which currently only has two entries on it: Your refrigerator liked your washing machine's post The inevitability of subsidised appliances (and even things like elevators or escalators) with ongoing usage charges Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted June 11, 2015 I don't know about you but my fridge hates every thing my washing machine has to say. I wonder if people could possibly get into your wifi and make these new Amazon Dash Buttons start ordering a bunch of paper towels or soap without your permission. https://www.amazon.com/oc/dash-button Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thorn Posted June 12, 2015 https://www.amazon.com/oc/dash-button That was announced late on March 31st and I was genuinely convinced it was an April Fool's gag. And I work for Amazon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted June 12, 2015 I don't know about you but my fridge hates every thing my washing machine has to say. My fridge and my washing machine stare at each other, every day, 24 hours a day, years on end. If they could move, there would be murder, I'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted June 12, 2015 Oh weird, that's actually why I sort of said that, mine also directly face eachother all day. Hooray for laundry in the kitchen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eot Posted June 14, 2015 For something like the past three or four E3s I've been without internet (usually spend that time at a summer house) and missed the whole thing. Is there a good way of following it without dedicating hours and hours to it? (I'm guessing no) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RubixsQube Posted June 14, 2015 Nintendo drops a new 3DS multiplayer game as Round 2 of this Nintendo World Championships, Blastball, a kind of FPS future soccer-game that looks a lot like Metroid Prime Hunters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
