On boxing day it's traditional in our family for all of us to head off to one of my cousin's places and do the wider family thing.

Well, one of my cousins had brought the Playstation headset VR thing. He had us all go through a scary zomie demo and shark cage thing.....quite immersive.

Anyone else got a VR headset yet?

A former work colleague of mine has just opened a place in Croydon

It is very impressive. There's one game where you walk a plank, not unlike I'm a celeb, as someone terrified of heights I tried it. Even though I knew it was not real I was all over the place, I saw friends do it first and thought I would be able to control my brain. Not at all.

SOme other really good games including shoot em ups and task based games

DOOM VR is pretty good. I'm not completely sold on the teleportation-style navigation in the game but the world and the weapons are pretty spectacular.

Have played Resident Evil 7 on the VR, thought it would be a bit gimmicky like the PS move was, but thought it was great, really adds to the tension with everything up close and you genuinely forget you're sat round your mates, was impressed!

Reminds me of a good South park episode

Kyle: Well? Are you happy, Cartman? Butters is completely traumatized!
Cartman: I'm happy that I totally got away with it. [gets a call] What's a 911 area code? Hello?
Steve: Hello, Eric. My name is Steve from Oculus Customer Service. There seems to be an error with our virtual headsets, and on behalf of the company, I would like to apologize and try to help.
Cartman: With what?
Steve: This is going to be very jarring for you, but, there has been a malfunction with the headset you ordered from us. Right now, you're actually in your room at your computer wearing an Oculus headset, but, you're in a coma-like trance, my friend.
Cartman: [slowly] f*** you!
Steve: I understand your shock, my friend, but you have simply been in the virtual world so long you have forgotten.
Kyle: You should probably listen to him, dude.
Cartman: Uh huh. 'Cause I thought I was messing with Butters, but I'm actually the one trapped in virtual reality.
Steve: The people you are talking to are just computer programs, my friend.
Cartman: Guys, tell him you're not computer programs.
Kyle: [glances at Stan and Kenny] Maybe we are.
Cartman: [sighs and squeezes his eyes shut for a moment] Kyle, just- don't be a dick right now.
Steve: I know this is very hard for you, but we don't have a lot of time.
Cartman: Do you really think I'm that stupid?! That I believe all of this all along has been me living out some kind of virtual reality fantasy? f*** you!
