VR gaming

Why only rely on Netflix to whisk you away from your current world when you could get the Oculus Rift S? This virtual gaming headset is quite popular because it’s affordable, easy to set up, doesn’t weigh a lot and has superb quality. At the moment, some of the best online VR games are Beat Saber, where you try and cut down as many enemy items that are flying towards you, with a red and blue lightsaber. A great co-op game is Astro Bot Rescue Mission, where you fight in a 360-degree world trying to save creatures and other machines.

The trouble is, with virtual gaming you need to have an excellent internet service which can handle the large expansive worlds. If you don’t have a wired connection, you can still use satellite internet. Around 8.6 million people in America use this type of internet which is 6% of the population. Popular providers like Viasat and Hughesnet are comparable but different providers. If you game a lot, get the Unlimited Platinum 100 plan by Viasat. If you don’t game too much but like to watch videos and movies, then the Hughesnet 50GB plan is something you should consider.
