Russians must use window glass in their coffee tables. i'm pretty sure that this couldn't happen in the EU as there are safety standards to stop this.

until we get vr treadmills we shouldn't really be moving around the room blind, standing up is bad enough, for me standing up while moving in vr is like standing on the beach with your back to the sea and you feel like the waves are pulling you backwards making you fall over.

Have you Vertigo? I don't get that feeling at all. Sure, I have felt the cable drag on me from time to time, but not since I got the cable management system that suspends the cable over your head.

When I'm in VR, the sound of my 290X fans going insane act as a handy real-world reference point

Don't hear my fans in VR, but then my EVGA FTW3 1080Ti runs pretty quiet.

What I do hear is my son next to me swearing at Eurotruck Simulator 2 (when he crashes into things) and my daughter constantly screaming at her mates over discord when playing Overwatch.

Sort of ruins the immersion :rolleyes:

All I hear is my house mate complaining when I smack the Touch controller in his face. Well, at least I know where I'm facing then.

I randomly found that laying a very small and thin doormat in the middle of my gaming area allowed me to orientate myself using my feet, after the first week of randomly working myself into corners in Robo Recall.
