The moment caught on stream has gone viral and accrued over 60K viewers on the purple platform. The streamer was playing a VR boxing simulation game called Creed: Rise to Glory. Unfortunately, playing video games using a VR headset severely impaired the streamer's ability to sense his surroundings in the real world. Zoil stepped too close to his desk while punching his opponent in the game and accidentally punched one of the monitors in his streaming setup. The noise and outcry from the streamer immediately signaled that things had gone wrong, despite the damage not being visible on camera. One of his friends could be heard exclaiming: "Oh my god. What have you just done?" Zoil shares picture of damaged monitor after accidentally punching it while streaming Although the VOD was not available, the clip was widely shared on social media. The streamer even took to Twitter to showcase the damage he had inadvertently dealt. He posted a sarcastic tweet captioned "Good stream" and attached a picture of the damaged monitor. zoil@ItsZoilGood stream14387Good stream https://t.co/PSmjEx93xL VR streaming is fraught with danger when surrounding furniture is not accounted for. Back in March, something similar happened to a streamer called mekise, who hurt himself while playing the VR game Budget Cuts. Virtual reality is meant to be an immersive experience, and players occasionally get themselves into sticky situations because of it. Reddit and Twitter react to Zoil breaking his monitor The incident is a great example of a failed stream, and the streamer oriented (and aptly named) subreddit r/LivestreamFail was quick to latch on to the clip. The post has seen a lot of traction, with Redditors making jokes about whether Twitch would consider this a violent action against the audience, referring to the widespread sentiment in the community about the recent ban enforced on erobb221. Many VR users also gave tips to help gamers avoid similar accidents. One Redditor even mentioned a tip about keeping a fan running and using it as an "anchor" to orient themselves in the room: Twitterattis also had some choice words to share after the streamer shared the picture of his monitor: Shaddy@ShaddyyD@ItsZoil @summit1g would be proud1@ItsZoil @summit1g would be proud https://t.co/Kaq4Ht8gm0 Rob Olivieri@Olivieri528@ItsZoil This is what happens when you move around in VR instead of staying in place.
