"Oi mate, you got a fag?"

[Tykey]

Just had a strange encounter, i'm sitting in my bedroom at home, lights on tv is on and i'm trying out my new vr headset (Quest 3) near the window facing the road outside. I hear a banging noise, ignored it, hear it again, i'm thinking is the banging coming from the game i'm playing, it sounds real, this vr headset is good....but it doesn't relate to the game. Hear it again, loud this time. Think is my car ok so open the curtains to check, there's a rough looking chav type character mid 30's standing outside my window who says "oi mate have you got a fag?". I shook my head and mouthed "no" and shut the curtains. Peeped out again a few mins later, no sign of him.

Don't know about you, but knocking on a strangers window asking for a cigarette at midnight isn't quite normal. Some strange folk about.

Its a friday night and the pubs are emptying at least they aren't constantly ringing your doorbell or smashing your windows. The roads are full of morons driving like lunatics, no police to be seen anywhere, all you can do is try and keep safe.

If he comes back and murderifies you in your sleep can I have your headset?

Edit: yes, the world is full of odd people.

Only time this happened to me I lived on the 27th floor of a tower block.
That was disturbing.

My dad had a classmate return after lunch drunk at uni and get aggressive with him and was going "let's take this outside" and trying to get out a window on like the 12th floor or something.

I've not used a Pro but going by general consensus i think the Q3 isn't much if any better than the Pro for PCVR. It is better for standalone as the onboard gpu/cpu is much improved. Its mixed reality capabilities are better as the passthrough is much improved (higher res and has a depth sensor).

Worst "I have new VR headset" thread ever.

OP: hey guys, there's a crazy guy outside my window ready to harvest my organs.

Also OP: <provides in depth review of VR options>

Must be the same guy who knocked on my door 20:30 last night. I was too busy playing World War Z so I ignored him..

We need to know your location so that we can judge your town/city.

You need a new house somewhere else.

He sounds like wrong 'un.

When my quad bike was stolen we noticed after that people would lurk around after the pubs had closed.

When I got another quad I put up cctv that I have viewable all the time. People came around again but I was able to distract them with motion detecting spotlights, and I'd trigger the lights and alarm on my car as they got near. These people were persistent and came back many times.

So it's possible that person was casing your house.

See that Kirstie has packed on the pounds recently, she's clearly been watching that Loose Women where they think it's okay to be fat.

Chester. It's an ok neighbourhood here but we are 1/2 mile away from a pretty rough council estate.

I spoke to a neighbour this morning who lives about 150 meters up the road in an apartment block, told him what happened, he said this person has done similar to him and he's nothing to worry about apparently.
