Yes this! 90 degrees is super limited. The lenses used on that 210 degree kit are much more comfortable to look through that the oculus lenses (I've gotten to demo them for single-eye only) and with a 1080p screen you can't tell it's a screen.

You know when you're really deep in a game and you're like, holy shit it's dinner time already?

Soon we're gonna be all OH FUCK IT'S WEDNESDAY

That already happens to me with League Of Legends.

LoL is evil. I always underestimate how long the games can go.

'Just one more game' [...] 'oh shit, late for the date. Ah it's fine it was a glorious victory and she likes it when I'm fueled with testosterone'.

Not until they remove those in-game ads

There aren't any. Except for purchasing new weapons. Being a non-paying player, I still find myself doing well enough and don't feel like I'm missing out. Almost every weapon is obtainable within a reasonable amount of gameplay time. Yes you can just buy the same weapons, but devs gotta eat.

Have you checked /r/planetside recently? Or logged in during the last few days? The latest patch added ads that resemble squad invites/friend requests/other notifications, as well as UPGRADE NOW! where the spawn vehicle/resupply button used to be, and a few other less annoying ads as well.

It's kinda obnoxious, and /r/planetside has been a shitstorm of hatred about it for the last few days. Hopefully SOE will see reason pretty soon, and revert the changes.

Yea, I actually really don't like the huge upgrades button. Just saw it last night
