    Yes, like if I can't find a kid to mow my lawn for $10, because he want's $20, then fine. I'll just do it my self for $0, and he can be unemployed.

    If they just count the number of uniq jobs that come to my inbox I think it'd account for a large number of them.

    we wouldn't be able to say anything meaningful about climate change.

    You're absolutely right. It all has to be 100% pro the status quo or your some kind of idiotic, fox news, denier. I'm glad you are starting to see the problems with the lack of a debate here.

    By understood, I mean there is a list of do's and don't's to go with VR. While it does limit some of the capabilities to hack in head tracking to current FPSes and drop them into a VR helmet and say go without making someone puke, there is plenty of new content coming out that follows the rules and makes for very pleasant experiences.

    I can reach, and maintain, most any weight goal I choose.

    Two happy cookies for you. I can as well and I've gone through the effort and dropped over 100lbs and swore I would keep it off for ever, but the gpp poster is right. It felt like I was holding my breath. People would say you look great, doesn't it feel better? I would reply in a normally pissed off state that it felt fucking hungry. I was not happy though kept it well for nearly 5 years. I have now put most of it back on. My mood is generally better though now I have the old stigma of being fat.

    Ohh well, life sucks. Sure would be nice if I could find a way to be both happy and fit.

    I find that a problem too, if I'm watching a youtube video while driving it causes me to spew into my cup holder. Almost ran over some kids the other day. It's part of my new diet plan though, so I do it as much as i can after every meal.

    Actually most of what you describe is solved. the head tracking latency is a solved problem, or at least well understood what is required to remove it as a cause for sickness. The main problem now is that porting games that were not designed for VR is what everyone really wants, yet it's what makes everyone sick.

    Playing the games that were designed from the beginning to be VR games, that are held to the requirements for movement speeds and frames per second then few people will get simsick from them.

    It is pretty well known how to make sure there isn't any nausea. Most of the things that cause this now are half ports of non-VR games.

    very likely as it's with the Samsung Gear VR with Oculus software. The titles are pre-screened and required to be at least comfortable for most.

    I do find it somewhat amazing that it can do what it does with my phone as the display and compute power.

    You are right about the whole $h!7 or get off the pot for occulus.

    That being said the GearVR is pretty f'ing amazing for a labeled not quite consumer product. Especially with the announcement of a new one for the galaxy s6 today, as well as all the new content that just showed up in my store.

    What are these "major" issues with Occulus? Right now they are just refining the details. They will be on smaller and smaller incremental improvements from now on. The days of nearly everyone being sick has been whittled down to really only the small minority of people that are very susceptible, which like with 1st person shooters may never be able to be resolved. It still creates an experience that I have found nobody yet that doesn't think it's anything less than amazing.

    Well, I just tried my Gear VR on, closed one eye...Yep still f@#$ing amazing.

    3d is only a small part of the experience. In fact I have a lot of content that isn't 3d yet still give significant experience. Event he 360 degree pictures I've taken are fun to go back to a spot and stand there how it was when I created the picture. And it's all in a 2d like being in the middle of a giant sphere.

    Of course we would like to have it perfect but it's well past 95% range and well past the 85% good enough range. Now the only thing mildly lacking is content. Even though that is arguable at this point as well. I sure have found enough content for my (even more limited) Gear VR to keep me occupied for the last 2 months.

    I have the Samsung Gear VR for my Note 4, I've spent the last few months devouring the content and showing it off to everyone I can. It really is both amazing and impossible to explain how amazing it is. If you haven't seen the current generation of VR you really are missing out.
