Tilt 5

Has anyone taken a look at the Tilt 5 Holographic Gaming System? It's an AR game board for playing basically whatever they can convince people to code in to it. So potentially D&D, X Wing, whatever the latest boardgame craze is. It could even work for Warhammer.

The videos certainly make it look good. The glasses look like Hammer Tech and I worry about their battery life but unlike 3D TV there's actually a reason to put up with these. Also you can play remote too, which might be handy for the foreseeable future.

Anyway, like a new console it all comes down to the games. If all they have is Pandemic and Carcassonne and a D&D knock-off no one will care. If it has the right games though, at $500-$1000 it's cheaper than either a sizeable boardgame collection or enough Dwarven Forge to run Curse of Strahd.

Anyway, have a look, tell me what you think.

I have some magic beans I want to sell you.

Well you always are the most sceptical about these things. I mean, you are probably right but still…

Just remember, if it hadn't been for the Ouya, we might not have had Towerfall.

Weren’t you also into OnLive, about a decade before streaming became the actual future?

I have faith in Psychic Brian.

Onlive was great. I paid $5 for all of Borderlands and played it on my in-laws PC in rural France which didn't have a 3D card.
