I wanted to get an idea of the age range of people who will be queuing up to buy the rift before it hits mainstream. Is anyone as young as 14-17 aware of it? They'll need money to upgrade their PC. On the other hand anyone here over 50? I am 28. How old are you guys
A dinosaur from the Pong era - in real life, and an infant in VR world. In short: the luckiest of all enthusiasts - we are the luckiest. We are those who waited for VR for over 20 years. This is actually quite a good remedy for the thought: "Damn, I'm old" 😄 Every age has its perks. I guess I've found a pretty neat one. :mrgreen:
Not an Oculus hater, but not a fan anymore.
Still lots of respect for the team-Carmack, Abrash.
Oculus is driven by big corporation principles now. That brings painful effects already, more to come in the future. This is not the Oculus I once cheered for.

I got my first computer at late 15 (a Dick Smith System Blue - with built in cassette tape) and got my Apple II+ at 16 (with the original Wizardry and holy crap - disk drives and a whopping 48kb RAM - I had to pay huge amount for that extra 16kb upgrade from the standard 32Kb - and couldn't afford the extra card that would have got me to 64Kb). Times have changed and it's been amazing to see it all happen.
Really exciting times we're going through with VR now and very happy to be part of it all..
Just wanted to chime in and say I used to love the Wizardry games! Proving Grounds of The Mad Overlord on NES is what I played most, I think I still have graphing paper maps somewhere at my parents house haha!
That said, I'm only 20, so I'm not quite sure how I got hooked on Wizardry. I would love a classic dungeon crawler like that in VR though.
I'll be 32 in a couple weeks. I've been obsessed with VR since I tried an old sim at Blockbuster golf and games in South Florida. The only thing I really remember was that the fov was like 50 degrees lol.

Wow the majority of people here is older than i thought, why most VR entusiast are 28 and up? we need a new blood of VR junkies to keep rolling the bandwagon. :lol: BTW i am 21.
Knowledge, the ever growing and most powerful tool known. Pick it up! the common fools are scared of it!
I am just 19 (soon 20), and feeling waaaay too young for this forum now :D. I feel like I have missed important steps in computer evolution (C64, for example) and even more in gaming area (first game I played was Command & Conquer). On the other hand, being young in this age has its benefits. I still have lots to explore and learn, and especially to experience future breakthroughs of VR and possibly even experience them as "mainstream".
