The kickstarter was for a demo kit, from which people got their demo kits. Oculus is/was still a company in its own right and free to make investment decisions.

Its a dead end that terminates with the PS4.
Oculus was potentially a cross platform device. Not the only one, but the most promising.

Facebook, like Google and Amazon, has grown a habit of burying things...
Yea its good to get an influx of money (into a company that was already a sure bet to be one of the worlds leaders in display technology...) but I can't shake the feeling this is a bad deal.

Funny thing to care about when a bunch of giant robots and bullet spraying pilots coming to the party. The pizza guy was as much in a hurry to skip town as his customers.

Russian warplane meets actual warplane.
Obvious outcome ensues.

The Amira bike is one that's been wanted by everyone who knows about it since they were fifteen. It's also the one that no major company has tried to build.

As a rather tall man, I look at that legroom.
I look at that legroom and shed a tear for the joys that could have been...

There was a time when every car had a clutch.
There was a time when they all had manual starters and a choke too.

Would bang.
Shame she'll probably end up in jail for corruption or war crimes, or both.

I think rift will try to be cross platform (makes the most sense for both parties, as microsoft is in the PC market too). Architecture wise its probably a short hop.

I'm reminded of the Kenyan hijacking where they did just that. By taking the plane and making unreasonable demands until the thing ran out of fuel, forcing the crew to ditch. Its not impossible that hijackers aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.

It would have upped the ante if they at least put a win requirement on advancing through campaign levels or something. Maybe a few cutscenes. I realize the "Campaign" is just there to add some lore (and appease publisher sensibilities) on what is a multiplayer only game, but it would have been nice if they made a…

All the technology in the world can't make up for incompetence, which seems to be in no shortage with this incident.

Its news because reporters have had no actual information to report for over a week. They've been grasping at every possible straw and no small number of impossible ones.

Gets into the realm of whether people can copyright their own face... internationally.

Why are all the reviews using the same stock images?

Love the premise, but it could use alot of spit and polish.

Microsoft SELLS you friends! What did they think the $60 a year was about?

What is this "single player mode" they keep talking about?

The fundraising started before much of anything was built. It takes two to four years to actually flesh out a product, and there's been constant updates on their progress. The hangar module has been out for some time and right now the dogfight module is alpha and (tentatively) scheduled for release during PAX.
