I know, right? I had an old acquaintance ruin my favorite White Castle for me. Fortunately, there are others not TOO far away.
What’s Not Yet VR
…is Linden Labs’ Second Life Project OculusRift 4.1.0.317313 Released just a couple days ago, I learned of its existence because of a Tweet by Jo Yardley (@1920sberlin)… and excitedly downloaded it to try it out.
