Ctrl Alt WoW Episode 802 - A New Ctrl Alt WoW

AprilPvd is Virtual Reality

Welcome to the new Ctrl Alt WoW podcast. Over the past month I have been searching for the right voice/mode to express my journey in video games. I started Ctrl Alt WoW in 2006 playing World of Warcraft. In the subsequent years this podcast has evolved many times. I’ve had different house and different perspectives. I have changed in many ways. I’ve gotten older I’ve moved, I got married, I got divorced and changed relationships. I have also changed playing styles. Over the last five years my video game playing style switched from flatscreen to virtual reality. Even before I started playing VR, I had difficulties playing World of Warcraft. At first, I thought it had something to do with my aging eyes. I couldn’t quite focus on some of the NPC‘s, I even tried getting a bigger screen and that didn’t help. It wasn’t until I started playing in virtual reality that I could really target enemies and play the way I wanted to play. So now I’ll be focusing on my virtual play style. I hope you enjoy the new phase of Ctrl Alt WoW.

The only way to move around World of Warcraft in VR using VorpX.
