SteamFirst: It’s no secret that while our beautiful medium continues to grow in years, the means to which we may connect to these artificial worlds continues to become more and more powerful and fulfilling. Virtual reality has long been a dream of many, both gamer and non-gamer alike. The very idea of being able to take a step into an entirely new reality, to crush the autumn leaves under your feet and feel the bright rays of virtual-sunlight on your face, fills many with a sense of excitement and wonder. Though we have yet to achieve any such extreme immersion with the VR technology that is currently available to us, It is certainly a first step. The problem lies in what, I feel, is the means to proceed.
"I’m still fairly new to the game gadgets beat here at VentureBeat, clocking in just at six months, but I’ve seen a surprising amount of weird and cool stuff in the game hardware space during that time.
In that short amount of time I’ve seen high performance headsets, pro game pads, virtual reality goggles, kegel controllers, mind control scanners, eye trackers, and console wall mounts.
Yet is any of that stuff actually worth your time? Or mine? Surprisingly, yes! These are the five chunks of game hardware that immediately come to my mind when discussing the best of 2015." By Stephen Kleckner

The War Machine bust and the Jim Lee Punisher pin ups make this the coolest office yet.
OT: I am so ready for VR I could puke. I already have my budget set for my VR build. Looking to take on at least a 980 so I can hit those FPS. Maybe Computex will have some new GPU options in june.
