1.4 Oculus Quest 2…a VR-yyy Special Episode

Full Episode description

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?
