After a few days where we thought we were all living in a big oven, here in Italy we’re having the first taste of Autumn, with the temperatures going down and a lot of rain falling from the sky. I’m in that situation where I don’t know if being happy or not: on the one […]

Space Ball review: a crazy fun small VR indie game

A few weeks ago, I proposed to a few colleagues to try together a game I’ve read about on Road To VR: Space Ball, by 31 Labs. The article talked about an indie game that fused Rocket League with Gorilla Tag movement, and since I love both soccer, indie games, and the movement mechanic of Gorilla […]

This week VR is dead again. Sorry to inform you about that. It’s been good to dream about the metaverse, but now we can all get back to frying potatoes at McDonald’s and binge on Twitter during the free time. Ah no, not even that because also Twitter is dead. Now it’s called X and aims […]
