Its nearly Rift time !!
Been waiting patiently for this since last year and its about to ship, can’t wait to get to try it at long last. I’ve already got the schedule planned for what I’ll be checking out - Tuscany, Rift Coaster, and International Space Station Demos followed by some Skyrim and Half Life 2. #futureofentertainment

Despite desperately wanting to dislike SimCity due to EAs handling of its release and the shoehorning in of a completely unreliable always-on DRM, I’m finding myself rather enjoying the game despite hitting some of the current problems on the EA servers head-on.
Carmack on VR in 2011
Time is ticking down on the release of the Oculus Rift Dev Kits, and I’m starting to get excited. Its been a long time coming and I hope that it could really herald the beginning of a new era in gaming. Heres an interesting video with Carmack talking about Rift-like tech way back in 2011.
First dive of the year
A cold morning start and a short dive at the Inner Lees, visibility was dreadful but thankfully the water wasn’t as bad as it could have been, a balmy 8 degrees. DV Diving have a great video with Kate Humble diving the same wreck for BBC’s Autumnwatch.
Gabe Newell on Productivity, Economics, Political Institutions & The Future of Corporations
Fascinating perspectives on running a successful software company which transcend the gaming sector.
