1.4 Oculus Quest 2...a VR-yyy Special Episode

The Middle School Mind | Dec 18 2021 | 00:29:01

On this episode of The Middle School Mind, we talk about the Oculus Quest 2 VR system and why middle schoolers want this system this holiday season.


Today's show featured:


All I want for Christmas is an Oculus Quest 2



What are the popular games for the Oculus Quest?



  • Beat Saber - kind of like Guitar Hero meets Fruit Ninja. Billie Eilish has her special edition Beat Saber music pack. If Eminem released a Beat Saber music pack, you would get a great workout.

  • Oculus Rift vs. Oculus Quest vs. Oculus Quest 2.

  • Blade & Sorcery - may not be for all ages as there may be blood and guts, try it before you buy it if there’s a demo version. Blade & Sorcery is also similar to another VR game called Boneworks.

  • Job Simulator. Play as a robot to do these random jobs. Be a store clerk, a chef, an accountant or work at a car wash. Do the work and don't get paid.

  • Vader Immortal - a Star Wars inspired game for the Oculus.

  • Our regularly scheduled pitch to Mr. Jeff Bezos for sponsorship.


Games that have no business being made for the Oculus (or any gaming system for that matter)



  • Sitting Chair Simulator - hold on to your seats, literally, hold on and have a seat. Sit and don’t be fit.

  • Netflix TV Static Screen - imagine watching Netflix over someone’s shoulder on a blurry screen with bad audio.

  • Poke Simulator - you are constantly being poked and poking other people.

  • Fart Game - you make fart noises and you are rated on how it sounds.


Quiz Time: We Play "Game Or Not a Game" - which of these games are real VR games and which are made up?
