It just popped up.

I have an idea people that are using rewards daily got it first, those not using it at all might lose out.

The quick 3 minutes play per game review.

Games:
Anshar Wow, this I will be spending hours with.
Darknet Looks fun, puzzle game, needs more attention.
Drift Only watched the intro.
Herobound Needs Remote, If you don't have one, Uninstall till you get one.
Keeptalking Needs people, Great concept and family fun type game :)

Apps:
Starchart, a star chart, you can zoom in on planets, float around space and all those things star charts do :)

That's strange. I do a daily login but haven't bought anything in months. Oh well. Maybe it's time to try that linking thing.

Including touch panel, view sensors, motion sensors, volume rocker, focus etcetera?

Even the R199 Google Cardboard has magnetic sensors and focus. It's just cr@p FoV and cardboard.

You get other brands that offer the whole shebang for cheap too. The Gear VR is just Samsung's own brand aimed at the S6/7.

Yea, I used to feel exactly the same :)

Nice thread.

Cardboard is like a tiny sliver of chocolate - all it does is wet your appetite

After installing 4K Video Downloader i think it tried to restore everything in my Recycle Bin :( Then windows explorer crashed...

[-]Anywho, I can't get justfreevpn to connect. What should I be setting the 'Type' setting to? PPTP? [/-]

edit: Nevermind, it was my FNB Connect uncapped account that wasn't allowing it. They probably block certain sites.

Milk VR is busy downloading.

Check the site, they change stuff frequently.

Also, use 4k on Windows and Ubuntu, no issues.

^^ :) I will have to test, but I get the feeling these files aren't downloading completely, file sizes much smaller than 4k downloader is reporting at the start.

Where else can I get some impressive stuff? Would one watch 3D stuff on the Oculus app or on MilkVR?

I can't figure put how to load milkvr once I put the Gear VR on. I also can't find any trace of milkvr any longer even though I installed it yesterday.

Are you installing MilkVR from inside the oculus app?

Yes there are many cool videos inside several of the apps, including milk.
