Basically person wearing VR helmet has a bomb in front of them and people watching have the manual to defuse it, so VR person has to describe what it looks like how many wires, etc and you have to instruct them how to difuse it.
Really gets people talking and is a right laugh after a few bevvies.

And yes, it is. I’ve never played so much current gaming in over a decade. (Probably more!)

Just a friendly public safety message DO NOT PLAY SUBNAUTICA USING THE PSVR HEADSET
Thought it would be fun & super immersive to try subnautica. I set the vr screen size to max, the effect is fantastic i felt like i was there happily swimming away till went around a corner and was grabbed by a leviathan. Im now sat here actually shaking as my entire bodys adrenaline stock is coursing through my bloodstream im never doing that again. Damn game should come with a health warning LOL, i dread to think how terrifying it would be in actual proper vr.

Finally got round to using it today. I did Ocean Decent, London Heist and Crow the Legend. Nice easy ones to ease me in.
I've did it in 25 minute bursts with 10 minute breaks to get my legs but I still feel a bit disconnected with reality. I think I'm starting to get a bit more used to it at least. I did a very quick test of Wipeout and I didn't feel quite as dizzy. Having a fan in the room helps.
London Heist is properly incredible, so much fun.

Serious discussion for a second...
I wanted to share my thoughts about the future of VR.
Sony have conundrum on their hands as I see it with regards to implementing psvr on the PS5.
If we go back to the time of E3 2013, Microsoft had unvailed the xbox one and they insisted it needed the kinect camera to work. This was met with fear and anxiety coming off the back of Snowden and Microsoft had to spend some time and money removing the Camera requirements and gaining consumer support again. I don't believe Microsoft would be willing to then back track again and have the next xbox have VR out the box, along with a camera they insisted we didn't need first time round. Plus Microsoft seem to be aiming at the online multiplayer market as their USP and they are flirting with the idea of a streaming type device. (It's not impossible that the next xbox could be compatible with existing VR headsets of course.)
Sony then have a conundrum:
Do they double down on VR with the PS5, by packaging the headset and camera in the box at a considerable cost, thus losing the price war with the next Xbox? And/or state that the PS5 is geared towards VR but tell consumers to spend another X pounds on a VR headset?
Or
Lose VR on the PS5 to compete with price in turn also losing a considerable unique selling point Sony have over Microsoft?
