Did you guys see this.
That’s from like two years ago
Oh its new to me i just randomly saw it on you tube wonder whats going on with that now.
The headsets finally came out this past half year or so, but not the HoloLens which I think is a right shame… Microsoft are taking far too long to bring out decent devices to the market and getting defeated before they even release… I had to buy an iPhone and iPad recently as a result… really angry about that…
It’s been available for a while now. Just costs a whopping $ 3,000. They’ve been focused less on a hardware unit and more a platform of sorts, encouraging all of these Windows Mixed Reality headsets and the like that are much cheaper (pretty sure those are all tethered though and require a slave machine).
Don’t forget that their 3rd eye renders are all at full opacity, IIRC the thing can only do like 60 / 70 % opacity.
Dev Kits yes, I was referring to retail…
Grr… lost my admin tools again, due to a month of being absent?
Several topics are not correctly listed, and then noticed I couldn’t edit the category…
Oh well, try to help and unable to do so… ‘sigh’
Anyway, on a positive note, I should be back to studying again soon!
EDIT
Oh and almost forgot to mention, almost died last week in a RTC [Road Traffic Collision] where the driver was entirely at fault, YAY IDIOTS! so, body in pain but still alive 
Yikes… (20 chars)

Anybody wondering if the XNA books are still worth investing into? I bought pretty much all of them… hoping to get around to it soon… and may start building a tutorial of sorts, soon…ish… any interest?
How is everyone? any notable projects atm?
In case you missed it:
Any good tips for a Monogame beginner?
Good communities? Good tutorials? Good libraries? Good tools? Discord? Gitter?
Things to look out for?
Take a look here:
Regarding the other stuff, links are on the home page of the website…
There are two main threads and Extended has it’s own filter on the forum…
Yeah I linked the thread which links the last post, have to click the top post for it to link the top, can get confusing sometimes haha…
I suggest getting familiar with the basics before delving into the extensions and third party ‘add-ins’ if we can give them such a title…
You can code whatever you are capable of and create your own add-ins or extensions or engines, there are many useful resources out there [mainly books] that can help you have an idea of what is involved in making a game engine and the like…
Only you are the limit to what you can create…
Also in case I missed it, Welcome to the forums!
Halfway reading your last post I felt like you were writing a book or article or something, but figured you were just getting started with coding, right?
Thank you for the information! Hm, looks like I accidentally deleted my post while fiddling around with editing it on my phone… 
Thank you for the welcome. Yes, I am new here. I’m fairly experienced in programming, but not game programming (I’ve made small games with Flash and Phaser). Right now I’m just trying out different frameworks/engines to see what I like but do not know what I’m doing yet.
