• #175 | What We Love About VR and the Meta Quest 3

  This week Dan and Samson realize that they’ve been pointing out a lot of issues and flaws in the Meta Quest 3 OS and Meta’s direction with VR. Well it’s time to counter-act that with a positive episode talking about how they fell in love with VR in the first place, and why they love VR right now with the Quest 3. Elsewhere, we’ve had a tonne of listener comments, Dan plays Trover Saves The Universe and can’t stop laughing. Finally, there has been a lot of exciting game updates, a new course from Walkabout Mini Golf, RacketClub add new sports, Drums Rock has an amazing DLC coming out and more…LTO Discord:https://discord.gg/WUUQyHZpThLTO Patreon:https://Patreon.com/letstalkoculusAffiliate Links:META QUEST 3S: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/AZAbLMwn6META QUEST 3: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5JNKhtiiyRAYBAN Meta Wayfarer: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/JPJtgK6LPRAYBAN Meta Headliner: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/87vVR1nRYQUEST 3 Carrying Case: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/EVzw35SBEElite Strap with Battery: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9F1EXS9wHElite Strap: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/FuGn77L91Charging Dock: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9RC9HEGq8Silicone Facial Interface: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5DTVX8pubActive Straps: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/7Qhfo4FXnLTO Posters:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JhuvaqbxtJmO-io4lvoU4tN9B4CemspK?usp=drive_linkVR COVER: https://vrcover.com Use code: PlayTestVR for 10% off EVERYTHING         Quest Referral Spreadsheet...over 150 games!: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kssKH2L8cSZCwbJ2S6aZQwvbIZsjZ0s1UcCHKotJ3ic/edit?usp=sharing           Merch! https://playtest-vr.creator-spring.com          Want to be part of the show?

• #174 | Should We Be Worried About Quest 4?

  This week Dan and Samson question the direction Meta is going with the Quest platform and discuss what they like to see in the next headset vs what they think Meta would want. Then they put on their CEO hats and decide what ultimately Meta should do, given their values. (Samson does a lovely pitch). Elsewhere, Dan has a blast with Fracked! And Toast Interactive, makers of Max Mustard and Richie’s Plank Experience, unfortunately shuts down and blames Meta for lack of store visibility. LTO Discord:https://discord.gg/WUUQyHZpThLTO Patreon:https://Patreon.com/letstalkoculusAffiliate Links:META QUEST 3S: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/AZAbLMwn6META QUEST 3: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5JNKhtiiyRAYBAN Meta Wayfarer: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/JPJtgK6LPRAYBAN Meta Headliner: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/87vVR1nRYQUEST 3 Carrying Case: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/EVzw35SBEElite Strap with Battery: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9F1EXS9wHElite Strap: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/FuGn77L91Charging Dock: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9RC9HEGq8Silicone Facial Interface: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5DTVX8pubActive Straps: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/7Qhfo4FXnLTO Posters:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JhuvaqbxtJmO-io4lvoU4tN9B4CemspK?usp=drive_linkVR COVER: https://vrcover.com Use code: PlayTestVR for 10% off EVERYTHING         Quest Referral Spreadsheet...over 150 games!: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kssKH2L8cSZCwbJ2S6aZQwvbIZsjZ0s1UcCHKotJ3ic/edit?usp=sharing           Merch! https://playtest-vr.creator-spring.com          Want to be part of the show?

• #173 | Alright Meta, we’ll give Horizon Worlds a try!

  This week Dan and Samson are done complaining about the constant force feeding of Horizon Worlds on Meta Quest 3, and give it a try for the first time since it was created. Done complaining? Maybe not, but we did have fun in some worlds at least… We go through our positive and negative experiences and Samson sums it up in a nice monologue at the end. Elsewhere, Civilization VII is announced for Quest, the Quake 3 port is gaining traction and Drake returns his Apple Vision Pro… LTO Discord:https://discord.gg/WUUQyHZpThLTO Patreon:https://Patreon.com/letstalkoculusAffiliate Links:META QUEST 3S: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/AZAbLMwn6META QUEST 3: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5JNKhtiiyRAYBAN Meta Wayfarer: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/JPJtgK6LPRAYBAN Meta Headliner: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/87vVR1nRYQUEST 3 Carrying Case: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/EVzw35SBEElite Strap with Battery: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9F1EXS9wHElite Strap: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/FuGn77L91Charging Dock: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9RC9HEGq8Silicone Facial Interface: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5DTVX8pubActive Straps: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/7Qhfo4FXnLTO Posters:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JhuvaqbxtJmO-io4lvoU4tN9B4CemspK?usp=drive_linkVR COVER: https://vrcover.com Use code: PlayTestVR for 10% off EVERYTHING         Quest Referral Spreadsheet...over 150 games!: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kssKH2L8cSZCwbJ2S6aZQwvbIZsjZ0s1UcCHKotJ3ic/edit?usp=sharing           Merch! https://playtest-vr.creator-spring.com          Want to be part of the show?
