Also, this trailer shows off John Carmack's keynote address at the gathering, where the Oculus VR CTO fills us in on the state of their virtual reality headsets and video gaming in general. The clip runs over 90 minutes, and will leave you with an undeniable nostalgia for cargo pants. Continue here to read the full story.

Anyone else watching The Knick? The throwback hospital drama has quickly become one of my favorite shows. The subject matter is interesting, and the setting even more so... There have been countless movies and shows set around the turn of the 20th century, but they are almost always obsessed with the dwindling western frontier, rather than the progress in urban centers behind that dynamic, and I find the depiction of the transition from gaslight to electricity fascinating to see.
