Subject: Everquest Next will support Oculus Rift, what do you think?
Four scholars at Oxford were making their way down the street, and happened to see a group of ladies of the evening. “What’s this?” said the first. “A jam of tarts?” “Nay,” said the second, “an essay of Trollope’s.” “Rather, a flourish of strumpets,” advanced the third. “No, gentlemen,” concluded the last. “Here we have an anthology of pros.”

For a genre where people can routinely play for 5-8 hours at a time (and often longer) I would say that there's going to be a lot of vomiting for people who try to wear this thing

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

It's surprisingly light-weight despite its looks. It's confusing at first when you look around and move with the joypad despite standing in the same spot, but my mind quickly got used to it. It feels absolutely amazing and there's no noticeable delay and it creates a very intense feeling of immersion. The only downfall, yet, is the relatively low resolution as 3d means, as usual halving the displayed resolution, but the developers told us they were working on it and assured the retail version to have a much better HD resolution. I am really looking forward to it, it's the next step of gaming.
Can't say anything about feeling sick after playing for a long time, I played 30-60 minutes each session with no problems at all. My wife used to have problems with 3D in cinemas, which got a lot better after seeing a few, and using the Rift was no problem for her either.
