Oculus Rift

Hello everyone, today's topic: The Oculus 
Now, to some people (most people that call themselves a gamer), this is old news. But to some, it's unheard of. Now, what is "The Oculus"? Oculus rift is a virtual reality headset! Sadly, for now it's only for PC,  but I don't care. There are already so many games formatted for Oculus, and if they're not, you can use VorpX to format it (as far as I understand). The Rift provides two lenses inside (one for each eye) to make one 3D picture. It's insane! Turning your head turns your character, so it turns your entire surrounding into a game. As amazing as it sounds, it has it's faults. Playing some games can cause bad motion sickness. Also, the Oculus cannot operate at 1080p yet, so graphics may be downscaled for now. Horror games are devastatingly scarey, since you can't really look away or obstruct your view unless you close your eyes. But, faults aside, when the finished Oculus comes out, I will put all my money towards it.
