BUAFL Blog Announces Development Of Virtual Reality Platform For British University American Football

BUAFL Blog Virtual Reality Platform
BUAFL Blog have announced the development of an online Virtual Reality platform for British University American Football. What this could soon mean is that BUAFL Teams will never again have to play games against each other in person. The platform is believed to be between 0% and 100% complete.

In this VR platform BUAFL teams will be able to design their kit, suit up and then go head to head with their opponents in cyberspace, all from the comfort of each players own grimey student digs. The virtual reality platform is expected to deliver the full BUAFL experience including real time fist fights, empty stadiums, fugly cheerleaders, unplayable pitches and really bad ref crews.

Mr B. Blogger elaborated on the thinking behind the project: "British University American Football is played by students. By definition students don't want drag themselves out of bed on a Sunday and travel hours with a hangover to exert themselves in the cold and mud. They would rather be sleeping, drinking or playing computer games. This is why we decided to develop this platform and why we will be including features such as the "Snooze", "Hangover Autopilot" and "Update My Facebook/Twitter status" options."

BUAFL Blog Virtual Reality PlatformMr Blogger goes on to talk a little more about how it will work: "The success and popularity of the online game Goal Line Blitz among BUAFL players and fans has inspired us to adopt a spam based development system. In this way players and teams will be able to improve their stats and skills by mercilessly harassing each other with links to their website. We hope this will start all the teams on an even playing field so we can finally decided if the North or the South is better. Having said that some teams in remote parts of the country are yet to have electricity, let alone the internet, which may be a problem"

Talking about the launch of the system Nationwide Mr Blogger commented "Although its certainly unrealistic to say that the system will be in place by next season, by 2010/2011 i fully expect every BUAFL game to be played in the BUAFL Blog VR suite. It is of course important that we reduce the current cost of each headset from £500,000 to a more student friendly price in order to facilitate this". He finished by saying "In this new Digital world the BUAFL Blog VR Suit is the future of the game". BUAFL Chief Exec Andy Fuller was not immediately available for comment.
