Johntron Vr [updated] -

(Yes, Jon. Yes you can.) Have a favorite Jontron VR moment? Did you also almost break your knuckles on a wall playing Gorn? Let me know in the comments below—and remember to set your chaperone bounds.

Then came Jontron playing Gorn .

Jon famously responded to a tweet about the Apple Vision Pro: "That costs more than my car. I’m going to wait until it’s $20 on Steam." Jontron in VR is the perfect storm. You have a comedian who thrives on absurdist humor trapped in a simulation that is inherently absurd. You have a control freak forced to deal with unpredictable physics. You have a guy who hates loading screens forced to stare at "Oculus Home" for five minutes while the game caches. johntron vr

If you have never watched his VR playlist, do yourself a favor. Start with Richie’s Plank Experience . Watch him sweat. Watch him curse. Watch him push a virtual button with the tip of a broom because he’s too scared to use his hand.

But Jon leans into the jank. Unlike polished streamers who hide the bugs, Jon yells at them. He accuses the headset of being possessed by the ghost of ET for the Atari 2600. He personifies the chaperone grid as "that annoying blue cage." (Yes, Jon

Jon didn't laugh. He stared into the void and whispered, "This is the future of gaming?" He then proceeded to beat a null-body to death with a crowbar while humming the Star Wars Imperial March. It perfectly encapsulates the Jontron VR experience: frustration followed by spontaneous musical violence. In Drunkn Bar Fight , you simply beat up polygons in a dive bar. Jon started with noble intentions ("I will only defend myself"). Within 90 seconds, he was throwing a potted plant at a woman in a leather jacket while screaming "SHE PULLED A KNIFE."

The beauty of Jontron VR is the internal monologue. He stops mid-swing, looks at his virtual hands, and asks, "Am I the bad guy?" He then answers his own question by using a pool cue as a javelin. It’s lowbrow, it’s silly, but his improv skills turn a tech demo into a character study. Let’s be honest: Jontron’s VR videos are held together by duct tape and hope. You can see the tracking glitches. You can see the moments where his controllers drift into the void. In one famous blooper, he tried to lean on a virtual table in Half-Life: Alyx and face-planted into his carpet. Let me know in the comments below—and remember

But when the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift started hitting the mainstream (circa 2016-2018), Jon finally took the plunge. And it was magic.
