    "GORN 2 is a must-play VR title and has been pulling me back into the VR medium. Between hilarious combat and a weird story, GORN 2 is incredible." 10/ 10 @cgmagazine.bsky.social www.cgmagonline.com/review/game/...

    And of all things, Gorn (the VR barbarian game) just got me falling down a rabbit hole. Did you know that there's an annual linguistics community contest on YouTube to create and showcase the most cursed constructed language? Here's one about the language & culture of extradimensional cyborg trees

    Looks like the glitchy-ness of whatever happened on my Gorn stream didn't stick around into my Helldivers stream. So maybe it's just with that game? I'll need to try it out again or with another VR game. Maybe that'll be my Thursday and/or Friday stream later this week...?

    Quite possibly one of the most hyped, covered and reviewed VR game currently available. The premise is enticing, systematically dismantle your opponents into their respective pieces and imagine the game is an entire stress ball that you don't have to clean up afterwards, brilliant! And everyone seems to think so. Personally, I find it's borderline insufferable. The difficulty scaling is a joke, you go from a half dozen opponents to fighting literal armoured giants in the span of six levels,…

    Everything in this game can be solved with violence. Still absolutely worth adding to any VR gamer library (2025). This title has aged well in the VR-sphere of games due to its stylized graphics and well-working mechanics. It's more of a fun take on the gladiator lifestyle, so even being gory and violent, it won't have you questioning your sanity... too much. Recommend for getting rid of negative vibes or getting a bit of cardio in - and going in without weapons also a decent boxing…

    7 years ago today the “Gorn to Be Wild” trivia team nearly won 1st place in a Star Trek trivia game (hosted by Travis Richey, Inspector Spacetime!) We were beat by people who literally wrote the episode in the question! I will never forget Geordie's dad was an Exozoologist.

    GORN is an awesome game, prob my third favorite vr game, I think my sweet spot for vr games are the ones like hypedome and superhot. only problem is content for it being those boss rooms you go, LOVED it, but too few, GORN is more of an arcade game I guess, sadly it does not suit me anymore, even though I really wanna spend more time in it I just can`t I need a thing to drive me, in this case was those "levels", the gameplay is smooth, walking is weird but cool ig, physics a little janky…

    I'm running a ST game in Fate, around S3 DS9 but near Cestus. Because of @dragoncobolt.bsky.social's critiques of SNW my fanon is Gorn a) adopt traits of the parasitized like sentience and empathy and b) are desperate to find alternative reproduction before they attain enough empathy to suicide.

    really repetitive gameplay which is fine but it's not really fun, the final boss is awful and really soured the experience. the physics are a nightmare to deal with, honestly just buy blade and sorcery or hellsplit arena.
