Oculus Rift Founder: Let There Be Porn

By Ryan Bates

The team behind the Facebook-owned Oculus Rift VR headset has been somewhat quietly working on their platform, aiming for a release in the first quarter of 2016. The team held a conference in San Jose, California yesterday, where a variety of topics were covered, such as game offerings, introductory headsets, developing partners… and porn.

While other panelists squirmed in their seats, Oculus Rift founder Palmer Luckey plowed into the question head first, saying of adult programs and applications, “The Rift is an open platform. We don’t control what software can run on it. And that’s a big deal.”

It's a good sign for purveyors of the pornographic pictorals, but a note of caution to go with it: if that stuff can make you go blind today as it is, imagine when it's plastered to your face in virtual reality.

I'm currently based out of Las Vegas, NV (no I don't gamble all the time or live in a hotel on the strip) but I'm a So Cal kid through and through. I'm a Nintendiehard -- I stand by my man -- but I'm a fan of games no matter what the console, including Steam. RPGs, fighting, and action/adventure are my fortes. Give me a great story and characters any day. Call of Duty? I guess, if that's your thing. Classic Final Fantasy and Zelda? Now you're cookin' with gas!

When I'm not gaming, I like culinary adventures, moviegoing, and the Intert00bz. Ask me about my favorite web shows! I can get down on some anime, my favorite sports are boxing and baseball, and I can even get in tune with that parapsychological vibe, even though it's well-known and well-documented I'm kinda a pansy with horror stuff. (I think they get a kick out of assigning me those games for review.)

I'm also single and available, but sorry gamer girls, I play with joysticks.
