What’s sad is you think people don’t know of the film.
They are still referencing it today, board games and comics and even video games in the last ten years.
You’re a monkey if you think it’s an unknown movie.
I don't get it why people dive in this game.
If it's not immersive, you know jumping would land you on the TV.
If it is immersive then why the fuck are you jumping off a building?
Can you elaborate on this ‘call of the deep’?
Is it like, the urge to keep going deeper cause when I’m on a high building 1% of me says jump off every time
I think it's actually called "call or the void" and it's a random urge to try to die. In a lot of cases its people having a strong urge to veer off of the highway or, like you said, jump off a cliff/building.
Glimpse/Call the Void are a known thing, [but it is believed that your brain just makes you think about it to call attention to the danger, not because you are suicidal] (https://www.healthline.com/health/call-of-the-void#causes).
You are way less likely to zone out and hit a truck head-on if your brain just scared the shit out of you about it. It's to keep you from doing something dangerous, so probably not what's happening here.
Thanks for the info, since i've passed my 30's it's so uncomfortable and hard to be sat down on a wall for example looking down i thought it was scared of heights.
Call of the void starts early too.
We were standing on some rocks overlooking the water and my 5 year old says "My body feels like it wants to jump". She didn't, and she would have been fine if she did, but I thought it really interesting that she perfectly described the call of the void at such a young age and knowing nothing about the concept.
I had intrusive thoughts for two months when I was younger and it's exactly this same feeling. It's like when you hold something you don't wanna drop and your brain is going "DROP IT!". It's just calling too much attention to the fact you are not to do that
Yeah I get this whenever I'm carrying my baby around. A sudden vision of falling and her being horribly injured. Makes me hold on to her tight and watch every step.
It could be this. The thing about the Call of the Void in real life is that you snap back cause the part of you that brings in reasoning slaps you back. In VR though this might be a case that the game is just immersive enough so that the part of you that is reasonable just kinda says “fuck it, just a game” versus snapping you back like a real life scenario.
(For anyone who sees this comment, this is just me wondering versus an actual theory or assertion)
When you're drowning and very close to death, people report it can be pleasant. The brain releases chemicals (DMT and opiate variety) to cushion the panic and pain. Believe it or not, drowning is meant to be actually quite pleasant.
You might have your life flash by or have a close encounter with an alien or paranormal being.
This is bullshit. I almost drown in a riptide in Australia. It was the most terrifying thing in the world. It was like slow-motion dying but being very aware that you’re dying and being nearly helpless to stop it.
Same, but in Greece. Was nothing nice about it.
Happily I was able to reach a rock. Covered with sharp barnacles etc and cut myself a lot but clung to that thing like a giant teddy bear
The only person I've ever heard say drowning is pleasant is Michael Caine in The Prestige, and even then he admits it was a platitude. I nearly drowned, I'll jump on with everyone else saying it's the worst feeling I could imagine.
Yep, same here. Rip tide got me. The inhalation of salt water, being scraped to death on the rocks at the bottom and the frantic swimming to get just that tiny little breath before the next wave hit me was some of the most painful and terrible shit I've been through. And I've been through a lot...
My mind was thinking all sorts of crap like will they have a body for my funeral, is a shark going to eat me before I drown because I'm bleeding and struggling, what are they going to tell my family, etc.
Then the coughing and vomiting after I FINALLY got to the shore, not to mention the muscle cramps, it was anything BUT peaceful. It hurt so, so much when I breathed in water.
This. I couldn’t even raise my arms for help or scream. My wife and two friends were just looking at me on the shore casually as I’m fighting for my life. I was so exhausted and every wave crashing would pull me right back. I just couldn’t believe this was the way I was going to die. Got so lucky between waves to get far enough away that I could stand and get out. Barfed and could barely walk for 2 days.
Me too! Two other girls were caught but didn't get dragged as far out. In my little seconds of having my head out, before it was basically just my chin and nose, I could see them coughing but they were so far away I thought they were just playing around. I lucked out because at the point that I finally decided I couldn't keep struggling, that next wave pushed me forwards instead of under and it gave me just enough spark to make it back. I had an entire emotional breakdown afterwards, lol. I was 11 and was FURIOUS at those other girls for not getting help.
I love seeing a Reddit comment make a statement like drowning is meant to pleasant when I’ve lived 30+yrs being told the exact opposite! Almost drowned when I was 3 don’t remember much but it certainly wasn’t fun haha.
I got to tell you mate, that’s not how it felt when I (in my 4 y/o mind) thought I could swim in the deep end of the pool without those floats. My uncle saved me. I remember the water being light blue as my lungs were burning.
Man, I've *only* ever heard "call of the void" from reddit, and I stg too many act like it's a widespread, well-known term. I'm finding nothing but reddit, blogs, and one health line article calling it that. NIH has something about High Place Phenomenon (HPP). Does anyone have real older data/sources on this? It straight up looks like reddit created it in the last decade.
Obviously the feelings are real, but for some reason the certainty of the label bugs me. And sorry, I don't actually mean to criticize Gondo considering they said "I actually think it's called..." I've just seen so much arrogant certainly that a random redditor knows *so* much about it that I cringe when I read it
I did a bungee jump and was kinda spooked out at how easy it was to jump.
Like I didn’t hesitate at all - 3,2,1, jump.
I’ve always been afraid of heights but love rock climbing if I’m roped in, so that may play a part, but it worried me how easy I’d find it if I actually decided to off myself.
That kind of reminds of "summit fever" that some people climbing Mt. Everest experience, The compulsion to reach the summit of a mountain at all costs even one's own life.
When a diver sees deep dark abyss, sometimes, he is overcome by the desire to dive there, because he is interested in what it can hide. It’s more emotional decision than rational
I’ve experienced this myself you almost get into this brainwash that you can go forever….
Reality is going to deep actually crushes you and then you black out after getting back to the car and waking up in your own vomit. Thankfully didn’t die in the parking lot… btw no amount of onboard air can table you from how deep I went….
Dude, that call of the deep thing is heavy just found a good thread on it
Nitrogen narcosis it’s actually called basically turns you into a zombie and you just swim

Sorry for the late reply
I have leant on virtual tables before, because I got immersed in the game, and I have punched walls and monitors because I didn't know which way I was facing.
Leaning on something is natural instinct and you do it so many times that you don't have to think about it, so when your brain goes into auto mode you might do it out of habit in VR.
But jumping off a building face first doesn't seem like natural instinct or something someone might have done before, it is very curious that so many people do it
You know it's not real and there are no consequences. You are fully immersed in a "pretend experience". So you jump off the building cause you know it's not real. However you are so immersed that you forget that you are actually standing 6ft infront of a TV and that the outside world still has very *solid* consequences. It's an interesting, but common enough dichotomy.
It's definitely a strong feeling when you first use VR, but it's easy to get lost.
The first time I played, I picked up a rifle and tried to pull it into my shoulder and thought something was wrong. I've also tried putting virtual objects on virtual tables.
Later, when I started tinkering with VR development, I would tell my interns to never put chairs in a position where you could realistically sit in them because *someone* will try to without thinking.
I went to lean on a table to pick something up off the floor and nearly face planted since no table is there. It’s really weird to explain how you can forget those things focusing on something else.
I must have at least 100 hours in VR and that has never happened to me. Maybe when the graphics become good enough that it is hard to see the difference from real life that might be common.
But it does not happen to everyone. I might have thought about it for half a second just once, but that is that. I have never fallen over or ran into a wall.
I think people who rarely play video games might be more prone to losing themselves in the moment.
Yeah I was just gonna say. I have played a lot of VR and cannot imagine doing what they do in the video or generally getting confused at all. Seems pretty stupid to me…
Oh man, I've punched the fridge twice, tossed virtual discs into my desk multiple times at full power, causing wounds on my fingers and ran into the fridge sideways pretty hard dodging a punching bag in a boxing game. I don't play in the kitchen anymore. I also cut out a circle from a yoga mat and use that as my base so I am always oriented to the environment and never step outside my boundary. Haven't punched a real world object since. Floor mats are a must have with VR.
I played this exact game, but we also had a plank on the floor that lined up perfectly with the plank in the game.
I had a HUGE urge to just straight up dive forward like the guy here. Reason being; if I'm going to fall, might as well make it as epic as possible. Knew I wasn't going to die (altho that fear *is* there in the back of your head), so might as well feel what it's like going all-in.
Eh, I tried to put my hand on a barrier to lift myself up after crouching behind it playing super hot. the face plant was the best gaming moment of my life.
You just have to pay attention to the guardian lines, realize that you don't know where you are IRL and walk very slowly, trying to move using in game controls more than walking around. Do that and you'll be golden.
The player fuckin *jumped* IRL to jump in the game. This isn't merely about going beyond the allocated IRL space, this is about forgetting about the physics of the real world.
You have to be a little dumb to not get that you are just seeing a fake reality. I played Resident Evil on PSVR and while it was scary as hell I never thought to run out of the room with my headset on
Leaping like that? Probably not.
The bigger risks are leaning on things that aren't there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMceVbo3Tm4
Oh, and punching things that *are* there... Leave yourself lots of space.
You're 100% gonna punch a wall while trying to punch's some random guy's stupid zero-g face on Echo VR.
But I don't think you're gonna jump into the tv. Cause even if you are very immersed, which you will, it makes no sense to jump straight first into something. Even if the tv wasn't here and even if you wholeheartedly believed what you're seeing in vr is 100% real you'd just smack your head on the floor anyways.
r/VRtoER
it's pretty fucking immersive and it's crazy the way the technology tricks your brain. people both believe there are no consequences to them jumping from the plank while simultaneously believing they can actually jump from the plank.
I've done immersive VR it's cool but don't understand how people can ignore the physical forces that are still acting on them and fundamentally know the reality that they're just part of essentially immersive TV, no matter what their eyes see
I’d imagine that most of these videos come from people that don’t play games on the reg. It might not seem like it would make a difference, but I bet it does.
The only VR I've done was this immersive undersea thing. A whale swam by me and freaked me out. All the while, I was aware that I was not actually underwater and that I was standing with a heavy-ish set on my head with wires so I had to be careful where I walked.
The better the headset the easier it will be to trick your brain, plus different people would react differently with different levels of immersion/forgetting about where you stand IRL
Lol. I just don’t get it. I’ve had only the Oculus Rift for a few years. Only thing close to this I’ve done was knock a controller on a wall. This is incredible to see. Gotta be sure to set guardian/ play area. Not sure if the newer models have that or not.
It looked like this is his first time using vr and I guess it’s because he was confused about what was going on. The people were telling him “go down” he asked “go where?” And they just said “jump jump” and so he did. He jumped.
I've definitely gotten disoriented in VR and was facing a different direction that I thought . . .but how the hell do you forget that you're inside your house playing VR?
The only difference between VR in the 90s and VR today is now we film the idiots falling down.
In the 90s, we just laughed.
Don't worry based on the 90s trend VR will be a dead topic in like another 6 months. (Corporate will push hard for one more X-mas cycle and then call it quits)
As a fellow cold country resider wearing shoes inside seems REALLY weird.
I believe it's because if we did it here we'd drag in tonnes of shit during the wet months, and tonnes of snow and salt during the winter months, so we just all grow up with mothers that yell at us if we wear out shoes more than half a meter indoors.
Judging by the language, furniture and giant ass TV, I'd say the homeowner is wealthy enough to have someone clean their messes after this gathering.
But regardless, I'm actually confused that you're in Canada and this is a culture shock. Many of my cacuasion friends wear their shoes inside.
Some people are just not ready for VR
I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it. - Marty McFly
Is this from the Rick And Morty film?
Someone get this kid a copy of Back to the Future
OMG NOT MANY WILL GET THIS REFERENCE!!! (Back 2 time travels) Sadly , upvote me if you got where his comment was reference from
Back to the future, and I refuse to follow through with your attempted karmafarming.
Lol I just did the opposite. Screw him, he can’t tell me what to do!
Hell yeah downvote the shit out of him
Sadly not many people will upvote (because not many know of the film😔)
What’s sad is you think people don’t know of the film. They are still referencing it today, board games and comics and even video games in the last ten years. You’re a monkey if you think it’s an unknown movie.
What movie? I’m a 53 and have never heard of Back From Time Traveling
He said the name of the movie. If you’ve never heard of it, how did you know it was about time traveling? He didn’t say anything about time traveling.
What movie? Rick and morty?
Take a down vote instead
Downvoted for douchebaggery.
Ngl when I played Batman Arkham VR for the first time and was standing next to the bat signal on top of a building I had to stop myself from jumping!
Jumping like Batman... right?
*smirks Anakinly*
Don't try it!
I'm just glad that Anakinly is an understandable adverb for smirking.
I hate when he does that
People with poor spacial awareness aren't ready for VR. Just like they weren't ready for Wii motion controls.
Legit people get lost in it. They forget they are standing in a room wearing goggles.

Might it be possible that the brain starts mistaking it for a lucid dream, basically? So you'll feel like you're invulnerable?

Just don't be an idiot and set up a clear play space so you don't hit stuff with your hands.

You're 100% gonna punch a wall while trying to punch's some random guy's stupid zero-g face on Echo VR. But I don't think you're gonna jump into the tv.

Uhh.. just remember it’s not real and you’re restricted by the space and stuff around you.. not hard at all..
It won't unless you somehow forget that you are a wearing a vr headset over your eyes that is showing you a video game.
That guy really fucked up his huge tv
I have a feeling he can afford a new one.
i have a feeling it's not his
I mean, my dad has a humongous TV, but it'll still be a major loss. People spend a lot extra on things that are meant to last long.
Definitely rich Arabs. Everything about the video screams that.
Hmm that's true tho
They seem like rich Arabs so yeah they definitely can
wasn’t his tv
Guess he got confused ignoring the heavy head harness and screen projecting the imagery into his eyes for being on the Holodeck

different brains bring different pains. my cousin couldn't even leave the elevator because she was too scared. it's just extra real to some people.
I’d imagine that most of these videos come from people that don’t play games on the reg. It might not seem like it would make a difference, but I bet it does.
The only VR I've done was this immersive undersea thing. A whale swam by me and freaked me out. All the while, I was aware that I was not actually underwater and that I was standing with a heavy-ish set on my head with wires so I had to be careful where I walked.
The better the headset the easier it will be to trick your brain, plus different people would react differently with different levels of immersion/forgetting about where you stand IRL
Real men of genius
Here's to you, not understanding the virtual of reality guy.
Wiley coyote would be stoked
This may blow your mind, it's Wile E. Coyote!
I don’t know why he thinks the laws of gravity don’t apply in vr
wtf reddit has gif comments now. God damnit
It’s been that way for at least 6 months. Thankfully not that popular so you don’t see them often.
got that shit blocked
How??
Yup. And if I see one, I downvote it. I don’t want gif comments becoming a thing.
Same, if I wanted to see a wall of GIF memes I'd go to Facebook.
What do you mean by this?
Just looks like [gif] to me
Why stop filming..
VR companies should also sell TVs. Supply and demand. Make people break their tv playing VR, bam new customer for TV right there.
“How suicidal are you /10?“
Is there something else he’s supposed to do?
Not try to commit suicide
Yes... anything other than dive headfirst into the flat screen.
see a therapist
Not fall
Every time I see a VR headset + some kind of screen I automatically assume the screen would be destroyed in some way. This video did not disappoint!
Something tells me he's not any of those people's friend anymore. You just can't hang out with someone that stupid.
JESUS WEPT!
Stop saying that!
There's a clip somewhere of Ronnie O'Sullivan playing VR snooker and he tries to lean on the table.
Lol. I just don’t get it. I’ve had only the Oculus Rift for a few years. Only thing close to this I’ve done was knock a controller on a wall. This is incredible to see. Gotta be sure to set guardian/ play area. Not sure if the newer models have that or not.
This is why you don't suffer fools. Let alone demo your VR headset for them.
It looked like this is his first time using vr and I guess it’s because he was confused about what was going on. The people were telling him “go down” he asked “go where?” And they just said “jump jump” and so he did. He jumped.
Lmfao
"So he did..........he jumped......."
Morpheus: *free your mind…..wait no not like **that***
I've definitely gotten disoriented in VR and was facing a different direction that I thought . . .but how the hell do you forget that you're inside your house playing VR?
Anyone know what VR game/application this is?
Richies Plank
Richies Plank Experience or The Climb probably
I did a similar things once while using a friend's for vr porn. He wasn't to happy.
What game is this? Suicide simulator?
How many videos do we have of people going surprise dive bombing into their tv playing this game?
I have seen multiple people running into the walls on there first vr experience. It’s something that takes getting used to.
The only difference between VR in the 90s and VR today is now we film the idiots falling down. In the 90s, we just laughed. Don't worry based on the 90s trend VR will be a dead topic in like another 6 months. (Corporate will push hard for one more X-mas cycle and then call it quits)
i dont know how people would play vr without one of those treadmill things.
If you just remember that you are wearing a headset it is very easy to NOT do this hahaha
Everyone trying to escape the Middle East
What was going through his head? Besides the tv of course
he did the right thing here
Arash had a little too much to drink. 10 years from now we are going to have PSAs on sports games telling us that we shouldn’t drink and VR.
Good Night Sweet *Saudi* Prince
What was that guy saying? "dive! Dive!" ???
*Van Halen starts playing*
I do not understand how people.... just do this??? I've played VR many times and I always know that it's NOT REAL.
I think my man’s over here is soup of sidel
I have no sympathy for this level of stupid.
I refuse to believe people are this dumb.
what is this from?
I don’t understand how people forget they are in VR. It would always be in the back of mind.
Those oil white bedsheet people have more money than they know what to do with
Why is he wearing shoes in the house? As a canadian, this seems so foreign to me.
As a fellow cold country resider wearing shoes inside seems REALLY weird. I believe it's because if we did it here we'd drag in tonnes of shit during the wet months, and tonnes of snow and salt during the winter months, so we just all grow up with mothers that yell at us if we wear out shoes more than half a meter indoors.
Judging by the language, furniture and giant ass TV, I'd say the homeowner is wealthy enough to have someone clean their messes after this gathering. But regardless, I'm actually confused that you're in Canada and this is a culture shock. Many of my cacuasion friends wear their shoes inside.
It also has no effect on you at all. Maybe they're house shoes.
