A short review on the Playstation VR

Well, Wednesday night marked the midnight release of the PlayStation VR.

I joined my friend at Best Buy in line, he was getting it, not me. But since he was there for awhile my boyfriend and I decided to join him in line for the last few hours.

The doors opened, games were grabbed, then we head back to try it out.

There are bits and pieces to put together, but it took no longer than 30 minutes to put together and calibrate. The only thing I do warn is that the move motion controllers do not come charged, but they do come with USB cords to charge! Luckily most of them demos and PSVR in game games don't need them, sometimes all you need is your controller or your headset. On the topic of the headset: it is comfortable and easy to adjust.

Now, the game I tested out was one where you didn't need a controller. This game was just a visual look around, but a dream for those who love the ocean and the deep sea. But if you don't like sharks...this may not be the game for you.

The Deep is beautiful. It feels like you really are going down and looking at the ocean in depths where you see jellyfish surround you, fish swim by you, you can look all around you seeing reefs with what looks like even deeper areas. It is astoundingly beautiful. Even off screen, it was beautiful and you got pulled in by the visuals. My boyfriend was supposed to take photos of me while playing, but even he got pulled into it all and forgot to.

The shark wasn't scary, to me at least. But overall I did flinch a few times because it looked like it was coming for you. It was amazing.

While playing I forgot where I was at times, I would reach out, then forget that I wasn't actually there, that my hands meant nothing in that game, specifically versus other games where there are hand options.

Technology is amazing, this system is a real game changer. I personally would recommend it, just because it is a neat toy. A little expensive for me, but still worth it if you want to experience gaming like you never have before.

If you wish to see and have a taste of what The Deep is like, watch this video here!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
