Virtual, Virtual Reality (PSVR) Review





From the start you’ll realize that the game is very polished and highly detailed.  The vivid colours and smooth graphics is indeed a treat to the eyes.  The environment is very large scale and most of the set pieces are large scale rooms that do an amazing job of making you feel the sense of scale.  You do feel like you actually in the game world. 



The premise of the game is that in the near future, most jobs have become automated and thus humans have lost all purpose for their existence.  In this time of need, a savior arises in the form of a company called Activitude.  Activitude is a Virtual Labor System that matches humans with A.I. clients.  These clients however, have needs that only humans can fulfill.  



Virtual Virtual Reality can be described as taking the best parts of games like Job Simulator and Accounting+ and combining them into something that just works.  The gameplay comprises the completion of a sequence of tasks for each of the A.I. clients, who would then score your performance.  When each task is completed you are taken back to a hub world where your guide Chaz (that’s the robot with the single eye) would comment on your performance before setting up for the next task.  Not wanting to spoil a minute of anything it has to offer, I intentionally did not include the any surprises, specific jokes or plot twists in this review.



Nothing is taken seriously, each comment from Chaz is double meaning.  The A.I. clients take every opportunity to belittle you if you don’t follow exact instructions. And the entire thing is a hodgepodge of comically weird situations, overarching conspiracies and self-doubting moments – And I have to say, I loved every moment of it.  These types of games can be a hit or a miss with audiences as they are catering for a niche of persons that would be interested in the premise they have make to offer.  Virtual Virtual Reality wins on all fronts.  The game is filled with dialog choices that all correspond to your actions.  You really do find yourself questioning your actions and thinking of what is the best action to take before you do it. 

You can play with 2 PS move controllers, which is recommended for the most immersive experience.  Or you can play with the dual shock 4 controller which is not as immersive but offers slightly more exact controls.  My biggest and only problem is with navigation.  There is no turning option mechanic to speak of, you physically turn your body to reach the periphery areas or you can tap the move button three time to do a complete reversal to face the opposite direction.  It’s not ideal and the difficulty with navigation was a bit of hindrance at times.



Whilst playing you do feel a sense of freedom and the ability to do anything you want to do within the environment.  Most objects are intractable, and the voice acting along with the over the top dialog is perfect.  Virtual Virtual Reality is definitely a must buy.  It deserves to join the ranks of the must have games released on the PSVR platform thus far.  Anyone looking for a light hearted, pickup and enjoy experience will enjoy Virtual Virtual Reality.

10 Happenings We Are Still Trying To Explain


Number 10 :
In this video We see the girl from the Ring turned Grandma hunched back and pointing outside, then looks directly to the camera like she knew it was there, then turns around and points at something else, takes a knee and then what ever is that, nothing in the video makes sense and it leaves you with so many unanswered questions, the video seems to be from a house camera and I for one would not only move out of the house but from the whole city if I saw that in my security camera

Number 9 :
If you didn’t think elevators were creepy enough  well check this out , a women  fixing herself up before reaching the floor, her dress, her hair just ready to Slam Dunk the party or whatever she’s attending, turns out she’s the one that got slammed , because right after she appears to be pushed back by something invisible thrown from side to side and  hit repeatedly, fortunately the elevator opened up  and she got out.

Number 8 :
The video appears to be from China and it’s really spooky, maybe it’s a ghost of a cat the way it’s knocking stuff down, right to left, maybe if there was a cup next to the chair it would have been knocked down too.

Number 7 :
Number seven starts with my guy here trying to be discreet and going up the attic looking for whatever creature is there, he films for a while but can’t find it, but as he goes down, that ugly thing shows up like it’s been called for dinner.

Number 6
The dude seems to be having a delightful phone call and in the back something weird is happening, what is that thing ? at first it looks something with a a huge face then it kinda looks like a monkey puppet, maybe it’s just a crazy Ex eavesdropping on that phone call, he went to check it out, hope he’s okay.

Number 5
This one starts creepy but it’s actually pretty funny, what you are seeing isn’t a ghost, it’s a burglar wrapped in Curtains he stole from the building to hide his face from the cameras , unfortunately for our failing ghost here, he showed his face to the camera by mistake which lead to his arrest, the best part is when we was arrested the officers said he didn’t manage to steal a single item.

Number 4 :
A lovey couple practicing Golf indoors, already a bad idea but hey! Whatever gets us some paranormal activity on tape is justified as far as I’m concerned, the door gets wide open by itself and as they wonder about what happened to the door the chair starts moving by itself, whatever it was at least it got in from the front door like a gentleman.

Number 3
Vicars Hill Armagh  in the UK , The shadowy figure seems dressed like the Soldiers from  18th century , he’s hat is very telling, he walks right into the wall like an Xmen, maybe he’s a ghost of past Captain or solider who still stuck there for some reason

Number 2 :
Alright with number too we have a footage that seems to be from store , the guy walks by the box and then box moves and drops on the floor, I know what you’re thinking, Another Cat ghost but that can’t be right because if it was a cat the box would have stayed still because they like to get inside boxes for some reason, the footage continues to show that the paranormal activity at this place doesn’t just concern boxes, whatever is causing this seems to be determined  to move stuff in this store, maybe it’s the spirit of someone who works there or just a ghost looking for a job and he’s showing initiative, what do you think ? tell us in the comments down below.

Number 1 :
What is the first thing you’d think when you see a girl in a school uniform ? it could be something normal or knowing some of you it could be something Creepy but whatever it might be it’s not ‘’ oh I bet she can’t lift a car ‘’ , well you should start saying that because this girl here dropped that white thing she had under the car and that happened, couldn’t reach it from the front ? guess I’ll move the car entirely from it’s first parking space, you know, as one does.
Alright guys that was it for us, I hope you liked the video, if you did be sure to like the video and subscribe or else I’ll punch you grandma,  thank you so much for watching, don’t forget to let us what do you think in the comments down below and we’ll see you next time.

5 Most Famous Poltergeist Events Ever Recorded!




In German, the word poltergeist means “noisy ghost or spirit”. The word is usually used to describe entities that cause audible disturbances or physical destruction.  There’ve been many cases of poltergeist activity documented over the years, but these are 5 of the weirdest and still unexplained cases of poltergeist activity ever recorded.

5. The Stockwell Ghost
In the village of Stockwell, on the 6th of January 1772, the house of Mrs Golding became the site of a famous case of paranormal activity.   Various cups, saucers and stone plates were reported to have fallen from a shelf to the ground, as well as items of food were thrown across the room.  Violent noises were also heard around the house.  In fear, Mrs. Golding decided to take refuge with her neighbor as the disturbances continued. It was noted that the disturbances only took place when her servant Anne Robinson was present. She was eventually dismissed and suddenly the disturbances ended.  The case was considered for many years by the public to be the result of poltergeist activity or even witchcraft.

4. The Drummer of Tedworth
In 1661 a local landowner named John Mompesson, owner of a house in the town of Tedworth brought a lawsuit against an unlicensed vagrant drummer named William Drury, whom he accused of collecting money by false pretenses.  After he had won judgment against the drummer, the drum was turned over to Mompesson by the local bailiff. Mompesson then found his house plagued by nocturnal drumming noises. It was alleged that the drummer had brought these plagues of noise upon Mompesson's head by witchcraft.  For years after, anyone who had come to live in the house would report strange noises and unearthly sounds coming from various parts of the house.

3.  The Bell Witch of Tennessee
The Bell Witch or Bell Witch Haunting is a legend from Southern American folklore, centered on the 19th-century Bell family of Tennessee.  According to legend, family and the local area came under attack by a mostly invisible entity that was able to speak, affect the physical environment, and shapeshift. The haunting began sometime in 1817 when John Bell witnessed the apparition of a strange creature having the body of a dog and the head of a rabbit.  Despite extensive hunting expeditions, they never caught the animal. As time went on, the family was plagued by loud pounding on the outside of their cabin, and some family members were attacked in their sleep. Sometimes waking up with mysterious bruises and welts all over their bodies.

2.  Gef the Talking Mongoose or the Dalby Spook
In September 1931, the Irving family, consisting of James, Margaret and a 13-year-old daughter named Voirrey, claimed they heard persistent scratching, rustling, and vocal noises behind their farmhouse's wooden wall panels.  The noises resembled that of a ferret, a dog or a baby.  According to the Irvings, a creature named Gef introduced itself and told them it was a mongoose born in New Delhi, India, in 1852.  The Irvings made many claims about Gef, they said told them that he was "an extra clever mongoose", an "Earthbound spirit" and "a ghost in the form of a mongoose".  He was the size of a small rat with yellowish fur and a large bushy tail.  He supposedly guarded their house and informed them of the approach of guests and also attended to various household duties.  To this day, the truth is still unknown as the family maintained that ‘Gef was real’ even to their graves.

1. Enfield Poltergeist
The Enfield Poltergeist was the name given for a series of strange and supernatural activity at 284 Green Street, in Enfield, England.  In August 1977, Peggy Hodgson called police to her home claiming she had witnessed furniture moving on its own, as well as two of her four children had said knocking sounds were heard on walls.  A police constable who visited the premises said that she saw a chair "wobble and slide".  Later claims included disembodied voices, loud noises, thrown and toys, overturned chairs, and children levitating.  Over a period of 18 months, more than 30 people, including neighbours, psychic researchers and journalists, said they variously saw heavy furniture moving of its own accord, objects being thrown across a room and the daughters seeming to levitate several feet off the ground. Many also heard and recorded knocking noises and a gruff voice.  The activity in the house attracted considerable media attention and the story was covered in British newspapers until the reports came to an end in 1979.

A Plague Tale: Innocence REVIEW


Focus Home Interactive in collaboration with Asobo Studio crafted a story of struggle and suffering in its latest game A Plague Tale: Innocence.  In it, you follow the journey of the two main protagonists Amicia and her little brother Hugo, both orphans on the run from the terrifying Inquisition.  The game is set in medieval times and drops the player in a world of danger and rampant disease, as a plague slowly decimates all life across cities and the countryside. 
The swarms of supernatural rats are a constant and every present threat that the player hopes to avoid.  In this case, the rats represent the physical manifestation of the plague itself.  The terror they create is tense and makes for intense situations where you need to use planning and strategy to avoid coming into contact with them.

Amicia is a 15 year old, forced to mature quickly due to the circumstances of her life.  Her character strengths shine through in the mastery of her stealth and hunting skills.  This is in stark contrast to her brother Hugo, who is frail and is suffering from an unknown illness.  The game is set in a fictionalized version of sometime in 14th century France, during the heights of the Inquisition.  The main focus in gameplay is not head to head combat, as the siblings are obviously outmatched and outnumbered by the enemies in the game.  Instead, the game focuses on more subtle tactics to progression.  Amicia is armed with a slingshot that she uses for distracting enemies, allowing her to escape.  The player must often use strategy in order to avoid falling into the line of sight of various enemies.  As failing to do so results in enemies being alerted to your presence and frantic chase sequences where the player has a limited chance to escape.

Strategy is also key in puzzle solving in the game. There are a few puzzles that offer some challenge that you must complete so that you can get past certain obstacles.  For the most part, the puzzles are not too difficult but offer just enough complexity to make you really think about it, in order to solve them.

The graphics are impressive.  From the early preview footage and trailers, the level of graphical detail looked incredible.  Character models were highly detailed, with impressive lighting and shaders and ambient effects.  In the final release, there is a slight difference in the visual aesthetic but the overall muted tones and feelings of being in a world of dread and despair is fully realized.  It manages to achieve, pulling off a compelling story with moments of emotional heights and heartbreaking lows.  The sound design is equally as good and helps complete the overall package.  Dramatic musical scores suddenly resonate at the right moments, adding tension and urgency – whilst the slower paced orchestral pieces offer a subdue ambiance to the more intimate moments.

A Plague Tale is a game that tells story with all the glory of a true cinematic experience.  The grim tale, takes players on a memorable and emotionally engaging adventure.  The graphics are stunningly beautiful and detailed despite of the bleak and dismal environment the events of the game take place in.  The entire experience is one that is very rewarding to play though.

10 Anomalous Events Caught on Video (VIDEO)



We live in a world where strange and abnormal events often go unnoticed. The ten (10) instances we showcase, weren't the case at all.  From a hitchhiker straight out of your worst nightmare, to hauntingly disturbing images captured in woods.

These are 10 strange and anomalous events that were caught on video:




10.   
Some ancient cultures believed that mirrors were windows to another world.  Many believe that they reflect back at us, not an image of ourselves, but a reality of ourselves that exist in another dimension other than our own.  In the video, we see a child innocently amused by his reflection in the mirror, as his parent captures the moment on video.  Things suddenly become strange, when the reflection no longer matches up and reflection begins to contort its head unsettlingly.


9.
There are many hitchhiking horror stories out there, from both ends of the encounters.  However, the act of hitching a ride, is a risk that many are forced to take.  In the video you are about to see, a driver is travelling along a back road, late at night during a downpour, when the worst happens.  A strange humanoid figure comes into view, only illuminated by the car’s headlights.  From what we can estimate, the figure seems taller than the average human and is covered seemingly think reddish-brown animal fur.  Almost comparable to a Neanderthal or even a Bigfoot.  Would you have stopped and offered ‘him’ a ride?
