My strategy is not to tell them anything about the movie. Just sit them down in front of the screen and hit play.

Works equally well for Memento, fwiw.

X-wing... You must be old. Great game. I played X-wing and tie fighter a lot. Did you also play the wing commander series?

And yes our community is very active


X-Wing and Tie Fighter were so good. I don't think there's been a space flight sim as good since.

Related: https://www.gog.com/game/star_wars_xwin ... al_edition (too bad I don't have a Windows box anymore).

Never really got into Wing Commander.
im actually part of the star citizen alpha but haven't played it yet. Wing commander was a really good space sim around that time period.

Hopefully star citizen will be pretty fun

It looks fun. Don't think my laptop is up to running it though. Can't even get it to run XCOM2. I guess I'm console-only for now.

I recently invest in some pc upgrade to run oculus dk2. Probably shouldn't have burnt money on it but it's fun when I use it

Sweet. I've yet to try any VR system except for google cardboard. Looks pretty cool though.

How was Google cardboard, I've thought about getting one. Best thing I've tried on VR so far was actually a 3D movie about sharks

I love Edge of Tomorrow! I've seen it twice in theatres, but haven't been able to see it since then :(

It's kind of gimmicky. I'd probably just pay the extra for Oculus.
