Not to scare you, but the one HTC product I owned was cheaply built and broke after a year or two. Very disappointing.

It's VR for the PC, so not great. It comes with games that are mindblowing, though. I spent an evening doing edibles with the homies and firing arrows at little bastards trying to storm our castle. There's a neat Space Invaders thing where the enemies are in 3D space and you can step into the fray to dodge or whatever. Utterly mindblowing.
It's very hard to do it justice by just talking about it. That said: Half-Life: Alyx.

This isn't the original video, but some guy figured out that you could hoard grenades in a filing cabinet drawer/bucket/whatever and hurl them at your Combine enemies. So fucking cool.

This post is absolutely ridiculous and should become someone's signature.

If I'd gotten in on this, one of my picks would've been Monkey Island. Man, I loved those games.

When someone says "git gud" you can cite a flawless BattleToads playthrough, platinuming a Souls game, not crying when Aerith dies in FF7 etc. But y'all motherfuckers will never know what it's like to be abused in Korean after taking their soul at their own game.

This should be the plot to the next Rocky movie.

Have you ever even touched a PC game? I'm surprised I'm in the lead, but it's no grand mystery.
