Conan O’Brien may never get “really good” at playing video games, but he will always be unmatched on making the lulls in any video game endlessly entertaining.
We can imagine very many other ways to enjoy 4/20 then playing a brand spankin’ new Rick and Morty VR game.
Get a full look of not only what’s possible in the game, but how much the game stays on brand by making fun of itself in the full trailer.
You can get Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality from Steam for $29.99. If there was a reason to get a VR headset, this might be it.
If there’s a thing that VR would be great for, it’d definitely be adventures in the Rick and Morty universe, or universes rather, where portal guns can you take you pretty much anywhere that Harmon and Roiland have thought up.
Just a few days from now, on 4/20, Virtual Rick-ality will bring that VR experience to HTC Vive and Oculus.
Here’s the teensiest preview in this teaser that should get you hyped for this even if you’ve been skeptical of VR over the years.
The latest Conan remote segment that stops by YouTube’s Virtual Reality Lab allows Conan to let his imagination, for better or worse, run wild in VR.
Watch and see what chaos he delves into here.
The word “trippy” probably won’t be sufficient in describing whatever happens with this.
That’s right; the co-creator of Rick & Morty and one-man comedy/music extravaganza Reggie Watts will not only be going live in AltspaceVR on Wednesday, October 26th at 8PM PDT/5PM EST, but they will be doing what will probably be the most otherworldly talk show ever.
That’s all the details that have been released for now, but know that you’ll be able to watch the ‘fireside talk show’ (maybe it’ll be next to the Sun in VR?) on Samsung Gear VR, Rift & Vive, as well as your traditional desktop/laptop computer.
‘The Simpsons Are Making a VR Couch Gag for 600th Episode
The beginning of this year’s Simpsons Treehouse of Horror, which will be the 600th episode of the show, will be kicked off by a couch gag entitled “Planet of the Couches”. It’ll be available to watch in Google Cardboard and in 360 in Google Spotlight Stories (just in case you don’t want to wear a VR headset).
That episode will air on Sunday, October 16th.
It’ll probably feel like that one time when Homer found his way into our dimension as a cartoon wandering around our reality.
Justin Roiland Has Just Co-Founded, Squanchtendo Games, a VR Game Studio
The co-creator of Rick and Morty has teamed up with gaming veteran EP Tanya Watson to develop and make VR games with their new company Squanchtendo Games.
You can let your mind run wild with what that might be like and how fun whatever Roiland and Watson come up with based off of current Rick and Morty games, Pocket Mortys and Rick and Morty’s Rushed Licensed Adventure.
Amidst all the things that will be happening at Comic Con soon, the debut of Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality will make its debut. It’s a VR simulation of Rick’s garage where you can mess with all his stuff just like Morty does and suffer the consequences whatever they may be.
Specifically, you can find Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality at Adult Swim on the Green, July 21st-24th from 11AM-6PM. We’ll keep you in the loop on any further release information.
A couple of months ago, Reggie Watts and JASH teamed up to do a VR event where Reggie would perform in a virtual reality space for as many people as possible.
If you’re wondering how they pulled it off, here’s a look behind the VR headset.
You probably already know this, but VR is coming back in a big way.
As the technology is being made more and more readily accessible to everyone with a smartphone, more and more folks are finding different ways to utilize it.
For Funny or Die, they decided to use VR in a classic good cop/bad cop scenario played out beautifully by Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer.
You can watch the 2D version here or the 3D Google Cardboard version here and enjoy being accused of a crime that you didn’t (or did?) commit.
…or, knowing Reggie, it might as well be a whole new dimension.
As part of AltspaceVR’s push towards inclusive interactive virtual reality, Reggie Watts will be performing via an avatar in a digital space at 8PM PDT.
It might just be a little like a real life version of Creative Control where Reggie appears in an “Augmented Reality” headset.
They’d like it to be the largest attended VR event ever and since you can watch it on your laptop on top of Samsung Gear VR, Rift, or Vive, that might just happen.

Sometime in the last millennia, most movies not only had a big soundtrack full of licensed songs (some of which weren’t even in the movie), but they also had an original song that had an accompanying music video, specifically tied into the movie.
Well, leave it to Reggie Watts to make that something worth watching again as he has just made such a music video for the virtual reality dramedy from Amazon Studios, Creative Control.
It should also be noted that Watts is probably the best person to make up a song about VR.
The era of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah is just now settling in as Trevor has gotten a few shows under his belt and the new correspondents are making themselves known.
Hailing from Australia, Ronny Chieng furthers, along with Trevor, The Daily Show’s great inclusion of comedians from outside of our borders.
Watch Ronny’s first piece on VR Technology/an insight into some inner demons here.
One of our favorite directors Andrew DeYoung got his hands on a 360 degree camera and got to shoot this actually functioning 360 video with Amanda Lund that shows how VR technology will probably make everything look way cooler, but all make us more distant from each other than we already are.
Enjoy/try not being introspective about life for a few minutes by watching Passport to Adventure with Amanda Lund here.
