500: maintenance mode

Greetings from the Engine Room!

Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.

Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet. But what we do know is:

The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.

What now?

Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no server problems there – promised.

Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧

Oculus Quest review: finally, VR that ‘just works’

Facebook’s Oculus Quest promises a true breakthrough in the world of virtual reality. A standalone VR kit that can be played out of the box without the inconvenient (and expensive) need to connect to a PC or smartphone. No cables, no external sensors, 6DoF motion tracking, and access to a wide content library of apps and games. We had some time to play with the Oculus Quest, the VR headset on a…mission…to bring VR into the mainstream. Now arriving on the doorsteps of the first consumers, we can say that the Quest has almost all the features it needs to succeed.

Why VR is not what we expected and won’t be for a long time

The latest VR headset, the Oculus Quest, has all the credentials to take the virtual reality market by storm. However, there is too much silence in the VR realm and many wonder what the future holds. Every year I hear claims that virtual reality will revolutionize major industries and soon our whole life will be based within virtual spaces. But will it really?

I’ve been a gamer as long as I can remember, since I loaded tapes into the Commodore 64 as a kid. This led me down a path of increasingly sophisticated hardware from Sega and Nintendo consoles, through Playstation and ever more advanced desktop PCs. But I never really gave mobile gaming a chance until now. What I found surprised me. Best offline Android games Best free Android games by genre
