    I don't know how I missed this from a couple weeks ago, but apparently select games are being broadcast this season in virtual reality, including tomorrow's game against Phoenix.

    http://www.sporttechie.com/2016/10/...es-scheduled-live-virtual-reality-broadcasts/

    Any of you guys have Samsung phones and a Samsung Gear VR headset? If so, you can be one of the first to watch the Blazers in VR.

    Got another chance in 2 weeks when they play in New York, as well as two more chances in February (7th and 23rd). Gotta say, I wonder what these VR broadcasts are supposed to be like.

    It's really hard to black out when you're only drinking Coors Light.

    Throw in fistfuls of antidepressants and painkillers, add a half a dozen bong hits, and it gets a lot easier...

    Is anyone actually going to watch it like this. Sounds really cool and I'm interested to hear what people think.

    In Virtual Reality Meyers is actually good.

    And the Blazer's defense is awesome!

    I actually just happened to have bought a Samsung VR so I will have to check this out. I doubt I will watch the whole game that but I am curious to see how it looks.

    So I have no idea what this VR is all about. How will the game look different? Make you feel like you are sitting there in the stands or what? I was just sent these in the mail and they said I have to wear them all day at work!
