as it should. I'm GLAD the Rift has gone the way it has. It's better to have everything worked out with thousands of testers than to have another Google glass on our hands.

it will work itself out. just keep an eye on it. Oculus has a pretty good head start with regards to the R&D side of things...I'd be more worried that one of the "competing products" COUGHCOUGHProjectMorpheusCOUGHCOUGH get's pushed out the door, hits the masses and flops, tainting VR for another 25 years.

I'm actually quite impressed - the head tracking on the DK2 surpassed my expectations, and even if I'm stuck with it after devs have stopped creating stuff for it, I see it as being worth it...

I'm a huge movie fan, but people irk me. (I had a guy almost pick a fight with me a few weeks ago, when I was out with my son - I said, "would you PLEASE be quiet?!" when he was RECITING THE DAMN MOVIE LINES after each one was uttered... He told ME to "f off", if you could believe that. Fffffuuuuu... After I told him I'd get an usher, he was 'mostly' quiet. I certainly wasn't going to shush him for laughing at the funny parts.)

So, anyway, it's nice to have an app where you can look around, and see a bunch of empty chairs, and have a (virtual) HUGE movie screen looming in front of you. (Oh, and sound as loud as I want? Yes please.) For that reason alone, the DK2 gets a 'win' from me. Go go, anti-socialism!

:D

Ain't that the truth? :)

My favourite time was sitting watching The Punisher (Tom Jane, 2004) for the second time. I had seen it once previously, and had shushed a group all through the fight with 'The Russian'. Anyway, the scene starts up, and all of a sudden behind me, a guy goes, "Oh my god - OH MY GOD THIS IS GREAT!" and I shush him. The scene continues, he starts gushing over how exciting it all is, and I shush him again. He slaps his hands together, and says something to the effect of "HOT DAMN!" and I lose it - I turn around and say, "Do you mind? Please be quiet!"

It's quiet for the rest of the movie. When I get up at the end, I feel a heavy tap on my shoulder - I'm standing, a row down from the guy. I'm 5'9" tall. He's sitting, and I can already see he's taller than I am. He stands up - easily 6'4" - and leans in towards me. He says, "Hey man, I'm really sorry about all that - I just got really into the movie, that's all."

I'm sure you can imagine my adrenaline rush by that point, and I was now happy that it was slowly lowering. (While I wasn't too concerned that it would have become heated, and even if it had as I've been in similar situations, but I'm certainly not looking to pick a fight where I'll be the obvious underdog.) I told him all about how I missed the scene the first time I had seen the flick, and he apologized again, and shook my hand on the way out.

Maybe it's the fact that he was surprised that a small guy like myself would dare call a big guy like him out, but I like to think that there are all sorts of people in the world who aren't automatically douchenozzles when confronted for doing something wrong.

:D

You could also, you know, like pop a DVD in/stream a video from NetflixHuluAmazon and not have to wear anything over your eyes.  :cheers:
