Coffee Talk on PC. Not at all ripping off Midnight Diner.
My inimitable co-host Tom Towers tricked me into upgrading my PC by laying out the temptation of a new gaming experience in the form of VR. The promise of virtual reality, a pledge bestowed by our forebears in the late 1970’s, has arrived, and all you need is an Oculus Quest 2.
Oh and a new CPU. Oh and a new GPU. Oh and A THOUSAND YEARS WORTH OF PAIN AND SUFFERING TO GET THOSE TWO COMPONENTS WORKING ON YOUR ANTIQUATED PC.
But more of that in our next podcast.
In the interim I’ve been playing games that in no way take advantage of the new GPU, like Coffee Talk (above) and 11-11 a game from Aardman, the company behind the 4 frames per second plasticine hits Wallace and Grommit and Shawn the Sheep.
20 years after a Dog’s Life, in 11-11 you can finally “chase the cat” bow-wow-wow-yippee-oh-eye-yah.
But more of that in our next podcast.

One of the rare occasions where V is wear anything clothes. This is Cyberpunk, after all; a genre which separates itself from Sci-Fi only in that its computer viruses are transmitted both via wi-fi and the male-to-female (or any combination of sexes) ethernet interface, and that its hard element are also its core.
Maybe some impressions of Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt RED’s photography simulator, as well.
And, for the record, all you need to play VR games on the Quest 2 is the Quest 2…and a Facebook account.
