A great video as always gents.

I'm super excited by the idea of the Rift, and I think that their projected price point is one of the most exciting things of all. If they can make these systems affordable, and eventually sell them paired up to a small relatively inexpensive PC that can be fully controlled from within the goggles, then they have basically mastered VR.

Even my Mum has a HD TV, smart phone and a tablet these days, and if she could buy a unit like this, put the googles on and just... I don't know, wander round the Louvre gallery or take a walk around a village in Tuscany then I'm sure she would. However I think one of the big hurdles for non-gaming enthusiasts is still going to be the controller.

My mum can look around and understand that, but there almost needs to be a super simple controller with one stick and a couple of buttons to go along with this, so that people who have never played an FPS can just sit down in their lounge and just navigate another place.

Anyway, I was rambling there, but as a lifelong gaming Enthusiast, I couldn't be more excited for the consumer version of this.

EDIT: Without sounding too smug, this thing makes me glad I have 20 20 vision, and my girlfriend is also more happy about her laser eye surgery than ever!

I would like to get a Raspberry pi so I can use airplay (for audio only) but it seems somewhat intimidating. Is there a guide to getting this setup available online?

If you like a site, whitelist them in ad-block. It's a modern day equivalent of "Voting with your dollar".

I do however have no problem with browsing random news sites with an adblocker on, as you don't know how likely you are to get eye blasted by some random site you land on.

Are you just planning on converting one VHS? If so, it would probably be cheaper to find a local company that does the transfers properly.

I work at a school and we have been transferring about 400 VHS tapes to our network, but to actually capture the footage, cut down on static and keep the audio in sync, we have almost £200 worth of equipment.

I would like to know more.

I don't mind, as the content we get from Will and Norm is great, as it always has been.

From the other side though, someone that comes to this website expecting loads of Jamie and Adam is probably going to thik. "This isn't Jamie and Adam! Well that one MIGHT be Adam but I'm sure Jamie looks way less Asian on Mythbusters!"

Argh! I get "There was an error while sending your post" and it seems it was actually going through... Sorry about that!

You guys just managed to be the ultimate makers. MAKERS OF LIFE!

What I... wait. What?

God damn I love science!

@Vexxan: How did you add in the black outline? Was that in the template and I screwed it up or is it a layer style I'm missing.?

Does Facebook's policies allow them to do this already?

I think tapatalk supports an array of standard forum software, and unless I'm wrong, the Tested forums are completely custom built. I imagine that the amount of work involved would be quite high.

Have you tried the responsive mobile width version of the new site? It's very nice!

Indexing?

That's what I was thinking, it might just be firing it up seeing it's empty, then after a while it powers down. You could try stopping the Search Indexing service?

Also going to My Computer will likely spin it up as it will try and check the disk space on the drive.

I don't know for sure, but I expect that adverts are served up through an ad agency and not contracted with Berman Braun. I know with a lot of agencies that you can say "Don't show me adverts from..." but most are served up based on IP, and potentially cookies, though I know there is new legislation about this.

I would pay money for Tested to be ad-free though. I've done it before and I'd do it again damn it!

I moved my ear back a bit to match other peoples and made my coffee hot!

The real thing I have learned from all this is that I have a pretty nondescript face. Without a crazy beard or glasses. it's pretty hard to make my blockhead look like me! Ample sideburns is about the most exciting thing I could manage, but that's not exactly a barnstormer, and it's hard to have a quiff on a blockhead!

EDIT: I did try and give myself a Zojirushi, but y'know, in blockhead land, a Zojirushi looks like either a miniature skyscraper, or if you try and round it off... A dildo.
