As others have said: try the HTC Vive. Not only did they get the controllers right with that one, making them able to feel like anything from a sword to a gun to a longbow to a shield to a tractor beam/whip to... (and so on and so forth)... ...they have also made games that makes sense for...

For once Yahtzee actually isn't right-on-the-money because he got the moral choice system wrong: you do get the kind of light/dark side points you chose, even if you lose the roll. Only the story is affected by the winner. Also the space combat isn't a pseudo-railshooter. It is a...

I disagree. ;) It worked great in SWG... then there's nothign that says it can't work here. /S

Says you and what deity? ;) No seriously... disregard any hint of snark above and take what I say for respectful dissent: your argument is wrong because there already is space combat in it. /S

The problem was that - unlike SWG where you had a pilot, copilot and turret gunners... where you could get into battle with your friends and work as a team - SWTOR space combat is a single-player point & click thing... there is nothing left of the things that made space combat good in SWG...

Users managed to nag Turbine into not only putting PvP into Dungeons & Dragons Online but also crippling it into complete uselessness. So it all depends on how us space jockeys manage to cry and whine at BioWare. And as I said: SWG didn't have ships until JTL. /S

On my second round into testing of SWTOR I had my heart crushed. Figuratively of course but the revelation that space combat in SWTOR is essentially a point & click rail shooter(!), came as close to physical pain disappointment has ever gotten me. Before I go on I should perhaps inject that...

Freedom of speech is the right to make an arse of yourself, without the auhtorities trying to stop you. Freedom of speech is not the right to not have the authorities making you take responsibility for making an arse out of yourself. /S

A personal preference in aesthetics can never be racist. That'd be about as stupid as calling yourself homophobic just because you do not get turned on by members of your own gender. So... what skin tone do I prefer? Well... two things: 1) I like skin to be smooth, even and...

Move back to the Cold War and Scandinavia is a perfect setting for a big war game. Why? Because the Scandinavian Penninsula is a great staging-base to use either to pound the western soviet front or go wild in the Atlantic. Didn't any of you guys read Red Storm Rising or play Harpoon? Oh...

Organ donation should be opt-out... at least in any kind of civilized country that has universal healthcare. In countries with private healthcare... heck, let's make it mandatory (no opt-out) and watch the hospitals fight over the corpses just for fun. :D /S

It's like saying "Parachuting and apples are not in conflict". Or "doing maths and the moon are not in conflict". Science is a method... religion is a set of beliefs. They cannot be in conflict because they are not the not even remotely connected. My sympathies. A story from someone...

Math I don't know... but a huge slew of logic puzzlers that will jog her brain you can find here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ I recommend this to everyone by the way. The whole collection is available on Android too. /S

Opinions I have that most people don't agree with - The world is getting better and better by the day... and it has never been as good as it is today. - Nuclear Power is a smashing good idea and its awesome for the environment. (Less CO2 than wind power if done right, uses less...

Well the sensible thing would be to ask them "why?" and take a good hard listen. Then perhaps ask them "what would it take to change your mind?" /S
