Gopher is a teddy bear sat on a roll of foam, confirmed.
Dude, you stole my comment. :D Well, you were faster, at least.
He's ted's more mature uncle then.
Does anyone else really like the idea of a teddy bear walking around, sitting in the dark, playing video games, using Gopher’s voice?
Gopher did a chat with other modders and used an avatar system, his was a fuzzy bear animal looking thing. I have ever since seen Gopher as that. =)
"Dad? Can I play VR?"
"No."
"But why can my teddy bear play VR?"
"I needed a body double."
Just a heads-up. If you use the sticky hooks on textured ceiling they will stick. The problem is when you take them off. You will most likely take a part of the ceiling with you. Just saying. It created a nice new spot for the my smoke detector that I should have placed months earlier... 🙄
I do so love the continued schtick of never showing your person on camera, Gopher. This is a "thing" that I personally hope never ends. Lol
You are a pair of disembodied human hands and a teddy bear wrapped in sound foam. It's cannon now, don't ever retconn it.
🤣
Kids walk into the room.
Dad is a puppet with strings coming from the ceiling.
My finger was on the "buy now" button when I looked up and remembered that I have a ceiling fan installed which would make me a bit dead if I'll try to use the kiwi :D
How do you manage to play VR at all with a ceiling fan? I completely destroyed mine, and had a very sore hand for two weeks. Needless to say it has been replaced with LED lights lol
1. Just a flesh wound
2. Fortunately for me the ceiling in my house is high (250 cm) so I will only hit it if my hands are way over my head and that is good since I'm on the tall side (187 cm)
@@jamesgardner3720 I used to play VR in a living room with a peaked roof that had a ceiling fan. Unfortunately, I'm rather tall, and so I still could hit the ceiling fan. It made me develop the habit of crouching whenever I wanted to swing upward, and got me more accustomed to using trackpad locomotion vs real life movements. It's still something I tend to do, even with more vertical space and more walking space. Though I will say that these days, armswinger is my favorite movement method.
@@heyyitsultima Tall people problems... everyone envy's you but it's actually a curse haha. I'm 6ft 2"
@@jamesgardner3720 bruh that not even that tall
I clicked so hard, because I thought we were actually going to see Gopher, based on the thumbnail... then I saw *not gopher, trailer footage*. I started flipping tables haha
Gopher doesn't do facecam.
At most we see his hands.
@@PerfectAlibi1 I know that, i thought that this was a once in a lifetime thing where we could have seen. :P
That teddy bear is doing a great job modeling the system. 😄
3:42 I've been subscribed from way back in the Gopher's Mods days before you even did let's plays. Now I discover you're not really a Gopher.
Suppose I'll have to get over it, like the time when I discovered Al ChestBreach doesn't really live on the moon.
To be honest, I thought you would be taller, and a little less furry. :)
Naw he's Ted's older more mature brother!
Welp... The Teddy bear is officially Gopher now. InB4 the April 1st face cam video that is just the Teddy Bear on the webcam over gameplay.
When you spun around I definitely had to close my eyes
That Teddy bear 😂 rofl!
Is it wrong that I was more interested in Gopher's room than the product itself? :D
Great, finally a review which also coveres the celling mounts.
Thank you gopher
I want you to know I clicked this video over all the other pulley videos because of the trench coat vr cartoon character. Whoever made that needs a raise!
Hmmmm. Gopher is a bit more furry and smaller than I imagined.
And may I just say that I fully appreciate the non-cluttered computer area. :)
Thank you for the review! i was waiting a review on this system from someone i could trust. i play fast action VR games and needed something to de-clutter my floor.
Give us am update bin a month to see if the springs lose their tension with continued use.;
good to see youre still making content on youtube. i havent watched your videos for at least half a decade lol.
whoho, Cinyscrazy's banner looking awesome as ever
For the cable-twisting, I recommend a software called Cable Guardian. It notifies you with a sound when you've turned around a set amount of times, and also tells you when you're "untwisted" again.
is it free?
Thanks for making me aware of this.
came here looking for different setups to see if I had missed anything; thanks for the wire-in-the-front idea! will try that out
Love the intro xD This system is very smart, indeed.
The effort you took to not appear on camera with that teddy bear
Some one had to hold the phone, and the bear does not have opposable thumbs.
I did this for *$5* and a trip to the *Dollar Tree*
I got a few "retractable pen with carabiner" sets.
And a pack of hooks that screw into the ceiling.
I never had the cable being above my head problem. As long as you have a high ceiling you'll be good.
VR Bear playing Bear Simulator.
Great video, you covered a lot of my concerns.
Quick question, what is the game you are playing at 10:21 ?
I see the banner!! YAAYYY!
Gopher, the game playing teddy bear
Aaaaaaand it's ordered. Great vid, man!
The link cable has got you bro
I recommend checking out VR Cover if you haven't already. Way better & more comfortable than the default foam mask insert that Oculus ships with.
Looks pretty decent, what do you do when youre done though? I'm not understanding how one would store this after use, seems like you'd have to undo the hooks and well i can't reach my ceiling without a chair so this might come off as a fair bit tedious
I have one of the hangers just high enough on my wall so I can reach it and hang my headset there still attached. I'm sure that'll loosen the tension quickly but it works
ASMR cable pulling. New Gopher content? 🤣
looks good. may get one
Helpful..… Nicely done! 😊
Do you want to know how clueless about VR? My first thought was, "Wait, VR is not wireless?"
and taht is my main problem of geting a VR set. Have no spre ports for the cable. Really should be bluetooth or something.
@@JoriDiculous The Vive Cosmos has a wireless adapter. You have to understand though the reason why the index is as good as it is, is because of the cable. Wireless has its limits
I'd say the cable have a bigger limit then anything else, when you dont have a spare port to plug it in :P
unless it can use displayport..
@@JoriDiculous the valve index uses displayport to connect to your gpu
Depends which headset you get. The oculus quest is wireless for example and doesn't require a PC. The Valve Index and Rift S is not although both will likely have a wireless addon at some point in the future.
Are you considering doing a classic Bethesda game series on VR? Or do you do find the in-game joysticks too immersion breaking?
You might be pleased to know he is doing a fallout 4 playthrough in vor right now!
@@dwaynetherock-hardjohnson5676 Oh! Thanks for the heads-up!
I know we're meant to be looking at the cable management system, but have you bashed the shockmount cradle (PMS-I) attached to your Rode podcaster? The inner support is tilted quite a lot in relation to the outer one (I have the exact same shockmount and the heavier Rode Procaster mic, it doesn't tilt that far internally) ? Also nice video ;) Pause at 04:53
THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!
Wait till one pops off and hits something. But a good enough idea.
Who else saw Gopher at the TW3 event in Italy?
Looked quite useful that one.
Im still holding off on getting any vr set, mainly for the lack of ports to hook the darn thing up to.
When the Wireless comes and it want cost 10.000+NOK i'll have a propper thought about getting one.
Thanks for the helpful review, well done! I could have missed it, but in the end it's not entirely clear to me how many sets you recommend, 1 (of 6 pulleys) or 2?
Get the app “turn signal” it will show you how much you have been spinning.
What’s the game you’re playing at the end of the video @10:22
yeah im gonna wait for wireless VR...
If you want to walk with a battery on your back in VR and constantly have to charge it - yeah. Sounds great.
A well done cable management is better for almost every device.
The cable twist is the one big issue with the whole cable management thing and is a major downside for me personally which makes me not want to invest in VR yet until wireless is introduced to more headsets. You either don't turn around which defeats the purpose of having the whole pulley system or you don't use the pulley system at all and sometimes step on your cable or get tangled up in it. Only way I see to solve this is for them to bring out wireless adapters which I'm honestly surprised only HTC have currently. (I think?)
You'd think it would be a priority and companies would want to get something wireless out asap to solidify their headset in the market and make a more enjoyable experience for the consumer so they are not constantly checking the cable every few mins to see if it's tangled or breaking their necks keep stepping on it.
I know it's your cables getting some kinks in it does this help it out
Have you ever removed any of the sticky base pads? I'm trying to find out how easy that is or if it leaves damage when removed as I'm in a rental.
Playing iron man i twisted and kinked the wire a lot even opening up the pulley to give the cable more space it doesnt seem to twist past first pulley, any ideas?
I just got mine setup and the cable oculus sent me is like mangled and keeps kinking, but i didnt want to wait for a return so i bought this and it stops the kinks but you can feel it tugging when you walk too far out. I taught myself to stand in the same place already so this doesnt bother me too much and is great
I dont understand why valve didnt use the "mod" slot in the front of the index to have a wireless adapter inserted into it
Can we get an update - have the sticky pads held up for months?
Good video, but how long is your cable?
has anybody tried this with the rift s? thinking about trying this out, but since my ceiling is so far up it seems i'll need an extendable cable for the headset itself.
either way, thank you for making a review on this! surely lots of people will benefit from this
im sorry but it had to be said, always give your helmet a bit of extra tug :p good advice
I didnt like mine. It pulls a little too hard and when it says you can adjust tension you can't you can just adjust how far it goes before you feel tension. Personally didnt like it. But it does allow you to turn around 360
a better way of saying it does'nt cost a lot of money would probably be something like; "inexpensive" or "low cost" etc. cause saying its cheap kinda leaves it open to say that its bad quality. :/... ill sit in timeout now for correcting.
What is the game at the end of the video?
09:40 is The Forest (a game which has optional VR support).
10:21 is Fallout 4 VR (which is sold separately to regular Fallout 4).
@@TheMoonRover Cheers
When you remove the glued hooks from the wall, is it possible to see stains on the wall from the glue? Dont want to repaint the wall
From my experience with glue and paint It will probably pull out the paint with it, and you might end up fixing a hole and repaint the wall..
Lol, If VR goes completely wireless I might try it someday.
Yiglic Persfactious oculus go is completely wireless
Hi there.. Could you tell me what the difference between this and version one is? Thanks in advance
They tell you on amazon
nice video
$26? PANDEMIC PRICE GAUGES TO $34.99!
Link to the product in EU?
where we can buy ?
A gopher (not game footage) review? What is this??
I teddy bear, really?
There is an app that alerts you when you need to untangle and shows how many times you over spun check out thrillseeker's video because I dont remember the name of it xD
try not to strangle yourself ;) please
0/10 *Unsubscribing not an actual Gopher we've been lied to*
Isn't it even better that Gopher is a magical and cuddly teddy bear?
now we need to get gopher to play vr horror games
I've done one on this channel :)
bro
just buy a quest
Those retractable spools have been used on Key Rings for almost 100yrs. So no new design there at all. Most likely Patent infringements. Original design was made of Stainless Steel and lasts for decades. Those plastic thing May last a few months of use.
There is zero chance of patent infringement on a mechanism that is used in every lanyard and keyring in the land. I agree there isn't much going on here, but the rubberised mounts to isolate structure borne noise transmission, as well as the pre-made rubber loops on the end that can grip the cable are nice things that people would be willing to pay for instead of jury rig themselves. The same basis as people buying pre-chopped carrots and other shit like that.
Uhm WHAT? lol
His keyboard still bothers me
VR today is just stupid. At best it works sitting down. Standing up you basically need to have a hole static VR rig in your room. And even then the cable is just bad. What if the headset had a cable going from the center of your head and STRAIT up into the sealing. And the cable is the kind of spring looking type old wired phones used. So when you stretch the cable the cable become longer and shorter depending on distance from resting point. And for good mesure use a rope system to remove any slack keeping the cable in the right hight! Wire going from headset go STRAIT up into a plug made to disconnect if forced pulled. From there you have a normal cable going to the PC that is never in danger of destroying your PC. How HARD is this? What is Valve and VR hardwear devs doing? You have to put up some stuff in the room anyways so why not put stuff on the roof? It dose not have to look bad. Just odd.
Pffff, NO.
VR is a cute gimmick, nothing more.
Are you posting this from 2016? :)
^ that's bait
Have you tried VR?
@@GophersVids He probably never tried it.
