I’ve been a fan of video games for as long as I remember. But I think I am a bit of a weird gamer. I read a lot about games and I like to try games, but I don’t actually play a lot of games. When people tell me they logged 200 hours in some […]

In January I got an HTC Vive and I started exploring VR. I wanted to write a bit about the journey so far. I came in thinking VR was “interesting” and that I thought I wanted to know more about it. Over the next few weeks I wrote down some of my findings. You can […]
