Oculus Rift is coming to Chuck E. Cheese. Oh word?
Chuck E. Cheese is getting on the fucking Oculus Rift wagon. But at this point, who the fuck isn’t? The company is going to use The Technology of the moment to create a virtual ticket blaster. Though for a kid’s place that amusement seems ill named.

Oculus wants to build BILLION-PERSON MMO with Facebook. AIM LOW AMIRITE LOL?
Ah, corporate hyperbole! I love this shit. Tell me all about your hopes and dreams, wizards of crafting press releases! Visionaries with too much money!, pepper me with your Future. And then give me my Snow Crash wet dream, okay?
ZeniMax is all like JOHN CARMACK STOLE OCULUS RIFT TECHNOLOGY
Apparently ZeniMax ain’t feeling John Carmack. Ain’t feeling him in the least. The ‘Mack Daddy’s (I fucking suck, I know) former company is accusing the co-creator of Doom and Quake of stealing technology on his way out the door to Oculus. Who is right? Who is wrong? What’s the applicable shade of gray? Who cares. Watching Big Dumb Companies fight is fun for me.
FACEBOOK buys OCULUS RIFT. My bunghole goes virtual.
Facebook has bought Oculus Rift. This is either the worst thing ever, or the idea of a virtual reality wherein I can finally attend to my dreams of surfing the Metaverse as a console cowboy is coming true. Most likely though — you’re all just going to be able to see my tattered anus scraps in all the dimensions you could ever ask for. I look forward to offending everyone in new, amazing ways.
Oculus adds former VALVE VR ENGINEER to staff. Poaching get?
I’m just imbuing this story with all sorts of things that aren’t true. Probably. Probably made-up. Like this dude who has left Valve for Oculus was totally poached from The Gabe Company. Top secret dinners. Libations and young sacrifices promised. He signed with Oculus in blood, as John Carmack stood in the corner jerking off over an original printing of Atlas Shrugged. That’s what I envision. ‘Cause if I don’t, it’s just moar “blah blah VR is wonderful, blah blah” rhetoric.
MAYBE: Sony’s Oculus Rift competitor to be revealed this month
There’s a good chance that Sony’s dropping the reveal on their VR headset this month. Getting ready to throw down with the Oculus Rift. In a battle of “Hey, We Took Thing X and Put It in First Person! Wild!”
SEINFELD x OCULUS RIFT = This VR Is Making Me Thirsty?
The Oculus Rift has been employed to explore all sorts places, things. You can get your head off! You can fly! You can…explore Seinfeld’s apartment! Sit down on the coach and make somewhat banal but amsing observations while the laugh track lulls you to sleep. Seriously though: sort of neat.
John Carmack left ID SOFTWARE because they were like “NOPE” to Oculus Rift development
John Carmack, the coding genius/nightmare behind Quake and Doom left id Software last year. While most thought it was because he wanted to roll much deeper with the Oculus Rift, there’s a bit more to the story. Specifically, he was all “let’s like partner the fuck up! with Oculus” and the parent company ZeniMax was like “naw, bruh.”
John Carmack developing OCULUS RIFT games. Meh?
John Carmack was a visionary back in the day. Doom. Quake. The engines for both. And for those wondrous developments he holds my eternal appreciation. However, I can’t really get up for anything he’s done in…fourteen years? So him developing the Oculus Rift is like announcing John Carpenter is making a new movie. Classic dude. Time has passed. Am I alone?
Watch: NASA robot combines OCULUS RIFT + KINECT. Future rules, brah.
NASA ain’t letting the upcoming Robot Apocalypse dissuade them from utilizing current technologies. Until it strikes, of course. Then they’ll just be paste like the rest of us. Until that happens though, they’re doing jazzy things like combining the both the Oculus Rift and XB1’s Kinect. For great justice. Or great…science?
