Tired of being tethered to your own PC while playing with porn games on your own Rift? Want urgently in order to watch VirtualRealPorn.com videos while kicking it in the park, or in the back room at work (we do!)?

I’m not seeing anything honey, I’m just shutting my eyes….
The set of launch titles for the apparatus is somewhat modest, with only some of officially established
