Show Notes
On this episode of The Middle School Mind, we talk about the Oculus Quest 2 VR system and why middle schoolers want this system this holiday season.
Today's show featured:
All I want for Christmas is an Oculus Quest 2
What is Virtual Reality (VR)?
What are the popular games for the Oculus Quest?
Beat Saber - kind of like Guitar Hero meets Fruit Ninja. Billie Eilish has her special edition Beat Saber music pack. If Eminem released a Beat Saber music pack, you would get a great workout.
Oculus Rift vs. Oculus Quest vs. Oculus Quest 2.
Blade & Sorcery - may not be for all ages as there may be blood and guts, try it before you buy it if there’s a demo version. Blade & Sorcery is also similar to another VR game called Boneworks.
Job Simulator. Play as a robot to do these random jobs. Be a store clerk, a chef, an accountant or work at a car wash. Do the work and don't get paid.
Vader Immortal - a Star Wars inspired game for the Oculus.
Our regularly scheduled pitch to Mr. Jeff Bezos for sponsorship.
Games that have no business being made for the Oculus (or any gaming system for that matter)
Sitting Chair Simulator - hold on to your seats, literally, hold on and have a seat. Sit and don’t be fit.
Netflix TV Static Screen - imagine watching Netflix over someone’s shoulder on a blurry screen with bad audio.
Poke Simulator - you are constantly being poked and poking other people.
Fart Game - you make fart noises and you are rated on how it sounds.
Quiz Time: We Play "Game Or Not a Game" - which of these games are real VR games and which are made up?
Moss - Game or Not a Game?
Oculus Raft - Game or Not a Game?
Werewolves Within - Game or Not a Game?
Thumper - Game or Not a Game?
Bob Ross' A Little Bit of Happy - Game or Not a Game?
