I don't subscribe to Facebook being bad news purely because i use it the oldskool way. Posting status updates every so often to a core group of friends who's opinions i actually want to hear. And posting updates for work via a fanpage.
I don't play games on facebook. I don't watch vids on facebook. I ignore facebook ads.
etc etc
Also anyone thinking Farmville on OR is already thinking way too small.

Luftrausers is fun as hell. Deception 4 is so good. I'm in gaming bliss.

You use it the way I do so you laugh at people trying to act like a tool is bad because they don't know how it works.

If Facebook pulls a strange days.....
I don't know man.
Edit: you really should watch Strange Days. So good. And my favorite band was headlining the soundtrack. Skunk Anansie.

I saw it. A few good points. However:
Facebook already cheat the metrics to ensure that businesses spend money to advertise over their organic reach. If Facebook paid 2 billion for something, you can be damned sure that it will be front and center. Hell, Oculus Rift was trending on Facebook minutes after the news broke.
Secondly, a lower cost unit designed to be sold to the mass market is a win for Facebook, and ensures they at least stay relevant. With some of their other acquisitions (namely Whatsapp), they are moving to ensure that all of those eyeballs they currently have and control stay ENGAGED.
Still a good book. Just needed an editor.
I liked the concept more than the execution myself. I thought the first half of the book was pretty good, but then it kind of just dragged on until it fizzled out.

I don't disagree with any of that. However, I don't see Facebook launching into a niche market with a piece of hardware with high processing/graphics demands. So all that 110 FOV, 4k screen, 120 fps dreams that a lot of OR fans got attached to isn't going to happen for a long time. I think that's why there's so much anger and spittle.
This is great news for VR. I'm not sure it is great news for people who expected OR to work some magic on the high-end PC scene (I never did, so I'm just sitting back and laughing at their anger).
His next book is a remake of the Last Starfighter.
Sucks for the dudes that backed it via kickstarter, that's for sure.

Why? They got their Rifts.

People keep repeating this, but everyone knows that "funding" the project is a key component of Kickstarter. Most people aren't simply buying a product, their funding an idea and getting some consideration instead of equity.
From Kickstarter itself:
Kickstarter is an investment, you just don't get any equity in return. Kickstarter is the best platform for mitigating the risk of principals and angel investors!
I think it's more of the fact they backed a product that is now worth 2 billion and they won't get a cut of it.
It's the nature of the beast tho

If Facebook is to meet its goals for the rift it'll have to inherently solve many of the obstacles that gaming applications will meet

Only difference is how long it takes to release a consumer product that realizes that and at what costs. Facebook isn't going to throw out loss leader hardware.
Right, but that lower cost unit is not the high-end VR dream that Oculus supposedly was pushing for.
I couldn't give less of a shit whether the Oculus acquisition is a good idea for Facebook or not. I don't get dividends from that shit. My (admittedly already low) interest in Oculus was in how far they could push the tech. If that's no longer the goal, then who gives a shit?

Eh, it's nitpicking really. The type of drama is similar since WB=CW now. Some of the characters are high school aged but it's really not centered around it other than occasional locations. They're both cheesy manufactured drama, supernatural events, and entire casts of good looking people.
I threw it on on Netflix when I finished my usual shows and it's alright for second screen type of viewing while you're doing other things.
That would be the shit

I can't help but laugh at FB hate, if you haven't figured out how to prune your shit (or at least unfollow the relatives you can't defriend) you're a dumbass full stop.
My only hate is for people that fiend like a crackhead if they are not checking it ever five seconds.
I got to a point that even with deleting a ton of people. I still find drama homophobic slurs and Blatant Racism on my FB, Ive been thinking about making a new one.
But thats what made me hate it

I have no idea if Facebook buying OR is good or bad for FB's money making plan or the future of video games or anything else. I don't know what's gonna happen, if this changes OR's original roadmap, improves or scraps it and I'm confident that most people don't know either.
that sounds amazing

Nah. Most people use it to see if they have better jobs than their classmates/ex-coworkers.
