Spider-Man: Cyberwar (2016)

Lewis Lovhaug: Linkara

Quotes 

• Linkara : Holy crap, you guys! I've been doing this for *eight years*! How many things have we gone through in that amount of time? So many comics, so many pop culture events, and it really doesn't matter at all, because we keep bringing things back that should've died off years ago. Like virtual reality!

• Linkara : Virtual reality is apparently a thing again, probably because we've finally begun to move on from '80s nostalgia and have moved into '90s nostalgia. Old properties getting revived or new mainstream versions coming out to capitalize on them, with reboots and sequels to these properties; it's a thing. Hell, '90s nostalgia has gotten to the point where America might elect a Clinton as President again. And no, I don't care if saying that at this point will date the episode. It's been eight years! When I started this show, George W. Bush was in his last months of presidency. In a few years, newcomers who watch through my videos are gonna wonder what the hell this "Blip" thing is that I keep mentioning. Times change! Or apparently they don't, because, again, VR is coming back!

• Linkara : [about virtual reality]  until we have fully programmable holodecks with full tactile feedback, the technology is cool and impressive, but I don't see it replacing current gaming technology. I'd actually love to see it developed more for movies, where you can walk around a room and experience a story from every possible angle; what characters are doing simultaneously, with lots of replay value of seeing the story in whole new ways. And as always, this is just my opinion. Until history unfolds, we don't know if I'll be eating my words in a few years or proclaiming, "Told you so!" In the meantime, though, at least people have a firmer understanding of what virtual reality is these days than they did in the '90s.
