> Does it hurt your eyes over time?
It shouldn't, but you'll probably get sick at first.
> can you adjust focal points so you can play without wearing prescription glasses?
There's companies that make prescription lenses to put in VR headsets.
> is VR good for playing long-form games like RPGs, or mostly arcade style?
Probably later, many say it's too uncomfortable for long-form games but you should get used to it. Best RPG right now is heavily modded Skyrim VR.
> I love torrenting old films and making a night out of watching them now and then. Instead of getting a TV or display, could I stream a film to my headset?
Yes, it's good for that, especially if you don't care about having the highest resolution possible.
> what are the negatives to headsets?
Main complaints people have are motion sickness (it's usually temporary), "waggle" like the Wii (it's not), "too much physical effort when you just wanna sit down and relax" (most games are playable sitting, actually), "big and clunky", sweaty, too expensive for the number of good games, volatile industry (one day you buy an expensive headset, the other they announce one 2x better and cheaper), not enough FOV, "it's not like SAO/The Matrix yet"
