On today's episode: We aren’t strangers to the world of VR. TV and movies have taken us to places in virtual reality that truly seem like a world within a world - a world free from restrictions where you could do anything you want in the virtual space. And of course games aren’t new to VR, either. Gaming juggernauts of the 90s made attempts to capitalize on virtual reality during the 16 & 32-bit eras, offering unique takes to bring VR to the masses. However, for some, it wasn’t the right time or the right level of technology and VR took a back seat. With the lessons learned from days past, and a rather successful crowdfunding campaign in 2012 that set the rules for VR gaming, the surge in adoption and support is showing that VR isn’t going anywhere. How does VR look compared to the 90s, what are some of the concerns we should be focused on, and what’s next for the tech! This week, We are VR!

Every week, Kyle and Travis settle in for a conversation that feels like hanging out in a friend's basement, dissecting the virtual worlds they love. Their The NPCs-Video Game Commentary, Video Game News, And More! is a weekly check-in from two self-proclaimed terrible gamers who are deeply invested in the culture and community surrounding their favorite pastime. You'll hear them unpack the titles they're actually playing, from the latest blockbusters to forgotten gems, and sift through the gaming news that actually matters to them. The discussion often meanders into the broader "video game life"-those funny, frustrating, and universally relatable moments that happen both on and off the screen. And yes, they might even circle back to their long-running, utterly unserious investigation into gaming's greatest mysteries, like the true parental lineage of a certain enigmatic figure in a trench coat. It's less about expert analysis and more about shared enthusiasm and genuine camaraderie. This podcast thrives on the unscripted tangents and personal anecdotes that come from two friends simply talking about what they enjoy, making each episode a casual and entertaining dive into the heart of gaming fandom.
