Watch this Half-Life: Alyx participant’s glorious juggling methods

You’ve all sat by means of your Half-Life: Alyx VR maths lesson, proper? Good. Time for a deal with.

YouTuber “ChrisQuitsReality” has put collectively a formidable efficiency of bottle-tossing, plate-flipping, grenade-groping and chair-chucking, with the occasional use of Alyx’s gravity gloves for added aptitude. He is a juggling wizard, and you’ll respect him. Unless you actually wish to keep away from gentle setting spoilers.

Without additional ado:

Glorious, isn’t he? He might have gotten away with some fundamental cascades, perhaps lobbing a bottle or two on the Combine for good measure, however he will get a lot extra inventive. Highlights embrace grenade fight juggling, pesky gravity-warping ceilings, and meddling digicam drones. Always keep six ft away from performers, youngsters.

This is particularly spectacular to me, one other juggler. Yes, we’re in all places, hi there. The most superior trick he performs is Mills’ Mess, the place every ball follows a special sample and you must make throws whereas crossing and uncrossing your arms. Pulling that off in VR is ridiculous.

Chris does point out juggling in VR “was a nightmare”, however he persevered.

“I’ve experimented with juggling in many other VR titles however things feel just wonky enough to not work properly,” he defined. “Half-Life: Alyx is the first game I’ve encountered that feels good enough to pull some stuff off, that being said it was not easy! Most of these took over an hour to nail, I know to to perform everything IRL and had to relearn all the tricks and tweak everything to get them to work in VR. Biggest issues was the hands trying to grip literally everything, objects flying crazy when thrown, stuff not grabbing correctly, things breaking when juggling, etc.”

We respect it. Now do 5 headcrabs.
