Hope you all enjoy whatever Switch-y goodness you may have all got for Christmas. As for me, nothing new. Might treat myself to something in the near future though, as I'm hoping for some interesting stuff to come during the first two months of 2018.
Downloaded Namco Museum with a 50% discount before the servers went crash boom bang. Apart from that, no games as gifts (unless you count the Monopoly Gamer board game)
Nintendo must have known something we don't. Honestly I think it's just selling because the idea of having mini-games to play with others is appealing, not because the game itself is that appealing.

@JaxonH haha very cool! I've never even seen a rift in person.....psvr is pretty impressive on its own so i can scarcely imagine what that can do! So much for the anti pc post i haven't replied to yet (technically i agree with you on all that except where x1x is concerned.)
Enjoy your new toy.... I'll be curious to hear your impressions of it vs.psvr after you've grown accustomed to it!
I stand by the anti PC post. This isn't something I would've bought for myself, it's a gift. But I'll certainly check it out- there's a couple games he is freaking out for me to try.
But I will say the controllers are the most amazing controllers I've ever held in my life. I wonder if I can use them as normal controllers for PC games... they are like joy cons but 10 times better. Absolutely incredible.
I think next year I'm going to upgrade the PC, and really do it right. Buy a new motherboard and the best CPU and graphics card money can buy. But, that might have to get put on hold because I want that GPD Win 2 when it releases in April. It runs DOOM at full 720p 45fps with actual low settings (not sub-low settings like Switch). That thing is a beast and by far the most powerful handheld ever created. But it's expensive as heck ($700, or $599 if you back the indigogo in January, which I might do because they have a proven track record, the original GPD has been around for years with multiple iterations, and this new one fixes all the issues the old one had like the heatsink and the screen being turned on when the lid is shut, etc)

@JaxonH yeah I'm mostly anti pc as well (after a decade as one of those obnoxious pc matter race people). Though if consoles keep picking up the worst parts of pc, i may as well go back to pc and save money. Though overall there's few mutiplats that even interest me anymore, and the exclusives in ps4 and switch are more hours of gaming than i can actually play anyway
Oh yeah i saw those things.. How is battery life on them?
@JaxonH Buying the best components money can buy is something any PC gamer will advise against. Buy what you are going to use otherwise you will waste a lot of cash on wasted resources, and you can think itll be future proofing, but you in fact wont, as CPUs and GPUs evolve in ways beyond just their speeds, for example cores, threads, and then speeds.
So don't go for the highest of the highest, as that's a Titan X which is $4000 and whatever CPU you want and youll never fully use either and nor will they be future viable, as in a few years something will come out at half the spec and price that's more efficient, and by the time parts equivalent to "The best money can buy" are actually going to be fully utilised, cheaper parts will exist at that point that will do it all better and more efficiently.

No idea. Turns out I only had one HDMI port on the back of my PC and I'm using that to run to the TV. So until my DVI to HDMI adapter arrives, i'm not able to use the Rift.
But how bad can it be though. Even if it's 10 or 15 hours that's plenty.
