I am sure many of u already know of this Virtual reality system by now, but if you don't-you're missing out on something awesometacular. Well, here's an introduction.

Seriously, it amazed the hell out of me when I first saw it. It's still in beta stages, but Youtube already has many videos of people trying different games on it.

This is true immersion. Better visuals, audio like it's actually going on around you. Hell, the Horror genre may finally be piss-your-pants scary again.

I also saw a video of Mirror's Edge on OR. Now that was BLOODY AWESOME. And scary. :razz:
