It's all a dream.

Lol. You'll really believe anything... I thought you knew I was being facetious.

No, we like it that way. It makes the internet crazies go all frothy. Good laughs were had by all. Sometimes we just go "Reddit is gonna lose their shit over this. HAHAHAHAHAHA"

Yeah.

Yep. If something seems like it will scare some internet people then we'll just say it and say it came from an secret source.

I work for NYT. Also there's this: http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/26/fac…

Why do people like to talk about how not cool wearing a virtual reality headset looks? That seems intensely shallow... do they think that sitting on their couch with a controller playing Animal Crossing makes them look like the fucking Fonz?

You haven't been following the Oculus Rift very closely.

If you listen to the conference call it makes a little more sense. They are in this push for acquiring companies and letting them operate independently like Instagram and What'sApp, and it seems to be more about getting future media under their umbrella than it is trying to directly inflate Facebook's profits. I don't…

Well, according to my source that is not allowed to speak publicly that's a lot of horseshit.

Amen. I had a tempered negative reaction at first, so I spent the whole day researching it. I was reading Palmer's replies, listened to the Facebook Shareholders call. Now I feel like this is probably a good thing.

The backers GOT a cool 3d Monitor that they could strap to their faces, and the company got to get off the ground and be successful.

Yeah, a lot of people are being pissy little irrational babies. I was pretty shocked too, at first. The whole thing smells until you quit being paranoid and reactionary and start doing some research. Then it seems a lot more reasonable.

You can suck my dick you fucking dipshit. I've been commenting on Kotaku for a fucking decade. I wish someone was giving me money to do it.

I agree there are legitimate concerns, but rational thinking is necessary here. If you listen to what Facebook told their shareholders in the call about the acquisition, listen to what Palmer is saying, and look what they've done with Instagram by allowing them to stay independent, the story is a little more benign.…

"Facebook VR ad fest"

THEY. SOUND. LIKE. BITCHES.

I probably won't get it. *shrug*
