Oculus Rift is my boyhood dream, one still valid for it's a whole new medium of entertainment. That can happen in my lifetime? DAMN.

My brother got a development kit and he tells it, yes it's legitimate, it's incredible, it's nauseating, and yes I will be trying it for myself at Christmas.

We have one in my game development lab. It's not nauseating at all. Then again, I'm the type of person who loves the 3DS' 3D effect. But yea, the Rift is pretty damn cool. My only complaint is that the resolution of the screen is so low. You can literally see the pixels.

That and I always forget I can move my head to look around. :P

Yeah that screen door effect will be a problem for a while, even with an HD version. Apparently even if you had 4k resolution, you'd still be able to see pixels.

I don't care. Well, maybe I will. I'll see for myself if I care.

It's not that bad. It doesn't hinder the use at all. Still really great. I can't imagine what it'd be like if it was "retina'.
