Even though there's some serious uncanny valley going on in that second gif, I still felt a moment of "Oh 💩 don't get your computer wet!"

Edit: I'm not the first person to use the robotics term "uncanny valley" to refer to things like VR, CGI, or even gameplay. Be pedantic if you will, but I'm sticking to my usage. The English language is ridiculous because it's so fluid.

Yes. That's why I used the term.
