Glowing review of Riven VR, horrifying warning about playing Riven VR

Mike Drucker for The Gamer:

Also, riding in those transport machines is amazing. Since I’m guessing approximately none of you are going to play this game in virtual reality, I’ll just say that using transport in Riven is more fun than any VR roller coaster I’ve ever tried. Some people go to Dave & Busters and pay $5 a pop for this.

Until I heard my fire alarm go off and I remembered I’m, again, the stupidest human alive. I tore off my VR headset and realized somehow - without me noticing - my entire apartment had filled with smoke. Not a little bit.
