    Lower resolution- I agree. (but that will get better with time) More people- I disagree. I can't wait until I can get together with fellow riffers to watch and crack jokes like:

    Thoughts on "Escape from the Jail" by Real Escape Games with minimal spoilers: We escaped with a time of 59:59! Social cooperative puzzle solving is so much fun and inspiring for VR.
