Our free Adult Swim VR headset finally arrived and it’s pretty great

It was at the beginning of this month that we told you about a special promotion Adult Swim put together to show off their new VR experience on Google Play. All you had to was fax in — yes, fax — a quick order form and they’d mail you their own VR Cardboard Viewer free of charge. Of course, this was a “while supplies last” kinda thing and it didn’t take long before supply was exhausted and the phone number was out of order. A few of our readers had their doubts that this was ever a real thing, pointing to a tweet Adult Swim made about “trolling” this or that.

In any case, our VR headset arrived and after quickly putting it together, found that it was actually quite nice. Velcro actually lines the top to keep the top flap in place and there’s a nifty magnetic sliding “button” (metal washer) that you can use to select items in Adult Swim’s Virtual Brainlord. This wasn’t our first VR rodeo, but to call Virtual Brainlord a trip would be an understatement. You’ll have to give it spin for yourself to see what we mean and if you haven’t yet, take a moment to sign up for Conan O’Brien’s free cardboard viewer (they’re giving one away too).

Anyone else manage to grab an Adult Swim viewer before they ran out?

I've been obsessed with consumer technology for about as long as I can remember, be it video games, photography, or mobile devices. If you can plug it in, I have to own it. Preparing for the day when Android finally becomes self-aware and I get to welcome our new robot overlords.

  1. Way to keep rubbing your ownership of a fax machine in our faces Chris. I’m jealous.

    1. There are apps that can send a fax too! Lol

      1. I was about to say websites do it, but who needs websites when we’ve got apps?!?

        Websites are SO 8 years ago.

      2. Sorcery. It’s the only plausible explanation.

    2. A fax isn’t the only hot gadget Chris likes to brag about:

      1. You win the internet for today with that picture.

  2. Edit: Wrong post. Your balls are showing. Bumblebee tuna.

  3. Did you order one of those Conan viewers? I signed up for one.

    1. Waiting for 2 of them.

  4. I have to admit, I was sure that this was another Adult Swim troll at the time. :D

    1. So was I which is why I didn’t rush to take care of it even though I had everything done.

  5. I tried to get one of these but the Fax machine at the office didn’t work for me. I was to lazy to try to figure out why this archaic technology wasn’t working.
