I just tried a #VirtualReality headset at a friend's place and whoa whoa whoooooooa the damn thing actually works.

I played a shooting game where I had to take down little spaceships all around me, and I used a bow and arrow to take out little stick figures invading my castle and best of all, I sat on a #StarTrek captain's seat directing a spaceship to boldly go wherever it is these things go.

We don't have jetpacks or flying cars, but #VR has finally made me feel like we're in the future.

I also played a little bit of some kind of #Portal #VR where #GLaDOS kept making fun of me for not being able to assemble a robot. I could see all of its robot guts, though, so that was realllly cool!

So, am I the last person to be impressed by #VR and everyone has already tried it or what.

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND IT REALLY DOES PUT YOU INTO A DIFFERENT WORLD AND IT REALLY WORKS

Okay, fine, headset is a bit clunky and gets uncomfortable to wear after a long time, but I'm sure they'll find a way to make it lighter, right?

@JordiGH you're not the last (that will probably be me)

@jordyd It's 1000 CAD just for the headset plus whatever kind of beefy PC you need for hooking it up to. Certainly not a cheap toy. But what a toy!
