Got my first headset friday, played a little bit wired and it was fun but not as freeing as I expected despite having a long enough cable and a somewhat large playing space. Got a router to play wireless today and it's really a lot more enjoyable. Even with enough space I probably still had the wire on the back of my head, figuratively. Now I have no problem with crouching or leaning around and looking at my surroundings.
I thought people say you can only play VR for a couple hours max because they got tired but turns out it's just the skin irritation and eye strain, though the irritation can be fixed easily with a third party padding I guess.

Regardless it's tons of fun and I hope there's more games with the same interactivity as Alyx in the future.
