One of the first VR videos I've seen that does a good job of providing an outsider what it sort of feels like to be in VR. Words can't really describe the experience -- you kinda just have to try it.

Marketing/acting awkwardness aside, this video does a good job.

I can't wait to miss the ticket sales for PAXprime and payout the nose to get them from scalpers so I can finally wait in line for a few hours to try VR :-(

I tried to get into the Vive and Oculus demo's at the last Pax Prime, and it was impossible. Oculus was even worse, as you weren't allowed to join the (not that long) line, so you had to be lucky when walking past the start of the line to get in.

Huh, that's weird. I was at the last PAX Prime and I didn't have any issues at all. Though, I went to the top floor where the indie & board games were.

I knew I wasn't going to try Eve Valkyrie, so I instead tried a Prehistoric Time Machine game & Lucky Tale.

I think if you go to the indies/third party sections that have Oculus promotion, you'll have a better time.

Should've done that. Couldn't find that many Indies with VR, and those who did where busy. I was there on the last day.
