"Figaro - I think we've just solved the locomotion issue!"

Ha ha!! This thread is amazing. Let me start back at the beginning.

 

[Ingueferroque]

I don't get why HE has to be the guy shown in the PR material. It's not like he's some breakthrough genius that discovered something nobody else had. Just have him sitting (in some nicer clothes) and smiling while someone behind him has it on enjoying it.

I mean it doesn't take a marketing team to figure out he's an overweight 30-something that needs a haircut and is in some kind of weird awkward pose that might make the target audience of Time magazine feel uncomfortable and awkward.

It's just terrible. Terrible cover.

Don't get me wrong I don't dislike the guy, but his visual situation is exactly what a lot of people think of when they think of videogamers or PC gamers and all that. He's making the perception problem worse, IMO.

Are you being serious? I cant believe this post.

 

[Crayon]

Thats a pretty good cover if you ask me. Its nice when they can be a work of art but primarily they have to sell magazines.

 

[donkey show]

I tried.

That cover makes VR look like a joke. He makes video gamers look like a joke.

It's ripe for parody.

 

[IvorB]

I really like this one.

 

[DarkTom]

Between this and the Tony Hawk 5 thread, GAF is on fire these days, congrats to every pic creator. A special one for the Journey parody, awesome.

Sure. But you don't have to be a asshole about it.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I tried.

Yo dawg I heard you like VR in your VR

 

[BlueLiquid]

Here's my own humble contribution.

Pretty sure the asshole is currently on the cover of TIME.

Also, I changed servers for this image:

Nice! I was trying to find a good image to shop from this episode, but I couldn't. Well played, sir. Or mam.

I would rather have VR or video-games represented by a young man with the balls to look like that on the cover of Time, than by opinions like yours.

lol. Whatever you say man.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Oh god this montages...

I'd just like to thank everyone that's contributed to making Friday morning a great laugh.

Haha alright. Let's see how far this gets VR, aside from earned parody and comedy. Might be one of the worst TIME covers in their history.

 

[Ledhead]

What a horrible, akward cover photo. Also loving these edits

 

[schnide]

These edits would indicate that people put in more effort than Time did with their cover.

I spent about ten minutes on mine so I can verify that's true.

 

[oti]

Throw enough money at Taylor Swift to wear a VR headset and forget about the "harm" this cover caused to the technology.

 

[Yopis]

Worst cover ever.

Just make sure she wears some damn shoes. What an asshole lol.

He does not represent gamers, nor should you feel like his portrayal on this cover defines you, this entire medium, or somehow sabotages VR.

It is not the time for VR to enter the mainstream (popular use for non gaming applications) anyway, that will happen 1 or 2 VR Tech generations down the line. This won't affect its perception at all once the devices and market are primed.

Cool cover since it definitely gets people talking, I suppose. Though I think this thread is taking it way too far.

What an asshole lol.

What is wrong with you?

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

lol

 

[wesleyshark]

It is not the time for VR to enter the mainstream

And it never will with barefoot buffoons "gracing" covers like this.

 

[Ingueferroque]

And it never will with barefoot buffoons "gracing" covers like this.

This 'barefoot buffoon' has achieved quite a lot in his 22 years. Why focus on his appearance or his feet when his actual contributions are so noteworthy?

 

[ironcreed]

LMAO

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Just make sure she wears some damn shoes. What an asshole lol.

Taylor Swift has some pretty feet though..

That cover is silly as hell. It made me giggle!

 

[wesleyshark]

Amazing hahaha

 

[Chris Metal]

 

[wesleyshark]

Welp. This takes the cake.

 

[EBreda]

That's what I originally envisioned. Lol great one!

 

[scitek]

I feel like Palmer should have been part of Manos.

 

[Huckleberry]

 

[Razzorn34]

Bahahahaha.

 

[Kaako]

This thread is just EUPHORIC. Like Palmer's pose.
