Tried the Heli Hell Demo.
http://www.riftenabled.com/admin/app/13

This was the coolest demo I've tried so far. It's not the prettiest game but it gives you a really neat feeling of flying through the air, and I actually jumped backwards when I crashed into a tree. When you do a downwards barrel roll or anything like that it really gets you motion sick instantly. Suggest things for me to play!

My thoughts on it so far,

If anyone is concerned that it won't work with their glasses, the lenses are at an adjustable distance from your eyes. You can just press them back so that you and your glasses fit in fine. The pixels are not a problem at all for me. A higher resolution would be nice, because everything is a little bit blurry (especially off to the side of the screen) but it's amazing and it's really pretty impossible to describe without playing it.

It's a lot of fun, although it will get you sick the first few times you do it. I'll post some more about it once the novelty effect wears off.

DoSing is literally as easy as downloading a program, entering an ip and hitting a button. Just get multiple people to do it and you got a DDoS. anyone over 11 years of age with a fair knowledge of the internet SHOULD be able to do this.

It is not that simple. You have no idea what you are talking about.
You can do a basic DOS attack that usually doesn't do much damage easily but what has been going on recently is different.

lol I guarantee that 90% of these guys didn't do it. I doubt Drunk Vampire or Russian did it, they are too stupid. People just like to take credit for these sorts of things.

This is probably a really bad idea, but I'm gonna try and play Mirror's Edge with the Oculus Rift.

Making a good apple pie is hard because you have to get the right amount of apples/different types of them into the pie.

But when you bite into it it is heaven.

the only difference is that when you start up the oculus rift you want to throw up

so basically its annoying to set up and fun to use

It's a little complicated but once set up works great. I'm sure I'll get used to it. The biggest problem right now is that the cords take up so much space and go everywhere, it's kinda hard to use my desk normally.

Oh my god. I got the rollercoaster working with it and that was incredible. Leaning over the edge of the coaster and looking down was terrifying. It was also really bad when it plummeted straight down. Some bits made me jump, but nothing made me want to scream or anything like you see in the videos.

Also, about the pixels, I saw none at all during my time using it unintentionally. If you come out of focus and look for them they are very clearly visible, but if you just relax your eyes they can't be seen.

I did get a headache after that, and I'm gonna go rest now. Everything I read said that if you tried to push through it you'd be sick for hours, and you just had to take a break once it started.

I've had one for a couple months, it's pretty sick

Could you help me? I'm telling my screen to extend to both monitors but nothing is appearing on the Rift.

lol. I just had a ton of trouble getting it working. I followed all the instructions and troubleshooted for 20 minutes to see why the Rift wasn't displaying the game. I just found out that it's because I never pressed the power button.

Brilliant.

oh no how terrible

something requires a screwdriver, an uncommon household item!

It's not terrible, just annoying. You need to get the lenses in the proper position for it to look nice, and you can't adjust them via screwdriver while looking through them. You have to take it off, adjust, put it on, adjust, take it off, adjust, put in on, until it finally looks perfect.
