Sorry if already posted but Gerstmann reaction article:

Time Unloads Full Clip Into VR's Chances for Mainstream Acceptance

Oculus founder Palmer Luckey is an incredibly inspiring dude. I've really enjoyed interviewing him on our E3 live shows and seeing him speak about the potential for VR is positively infectious. You start to believe that this can all happen and be real and mainstream and big and world-changing when you hear him speak about it. Hell, after hearing him profess his enthusiasm about Smash Bros., I was even ready to give that another shot. But this Time cover. Wow wow wow.

When I look at this image, all I can think is "man, this whole thing is over before it even started." You'd like to think that someone involved in the process of making all this happen might've stepped in and said "hey, I get that we want to convey something about surprising joy here, but maybe we can find a less insane way to get that across. One that doesn't make all this look like some kind of fucking New Age cyberhippie beach fantasy land for complete lunatics?" Is he trapped on the island from the end of Neuromancer or something?

Only spent a couple of minutes on it and I'm sure somebody did it better than me. also should have paid more attention to the wire cutting through that guy's violin.

This thread has me in tears at work. Love you GAF.

Original cover is pretty cheesy. Kinda neat it made the cover though.
