I wish all the LTX visitors all fun in the world, as well as the people that paid for access to those videos to enjoy them... but for those of us that didn't, it's kind of crappy that now of the latest 63 LTT videos on FP, 41 are locked. I guess it's probably not trivial to do it some other way where you don't see those videos if you're not entitled to watch them, but still, it kinda sucks.

I vary, but probably choose female more often than male (being male myself), for reasons others mentioned (more fun to look at and customize to your liking, as a guy). I usually try to play a role and I specifically do not play as myself, so 'identifying' with my character isn't really an issue. I don't need my character to be me, actually don't want that in the first place. But then it also just depends on the role, right now I'm playing Fallout VR as a male character because it just fit better with the idea I had in mind. When playing a character online I try to go for male characters though, simply because it's annoying if people online think you're actually female...

I have a CV1 Rift (not the current S) with the touch controllers and I love it. Especially now that I got a new PC I'm playing a lot. As someone said Beat Saber is absolutely awesome and I play that quite a bit (although the Rift seems to have an issue with the batteries becoming momentarily disconnected with fast big moves, but for a solution: https://imgur.com/a/QrfrZ). I've also got the Croteam bundle with all the Serious Sam games and they're awesome (it's great fun holding two guns in your hands and spraying hordes of monsters with bullets), and The Talos Principle VR which was also included I got a bit bored with the game itself but it was great to train myself in for full locomotion (moving with the analog stick), which I can now use without any issue. Since upgrading my PC I'm playing loads of Fallout 4 VR which I absolutely love. In VR for some reason I am much more impressed with the detail of the world, I regularly find myself looking at a car or a lawnmower or something, or even just the rubble in an empty bookcase. It's also great to sneak into a room and use 'Deliverer' (a silenced pistol) to clear out a couple of bad guys, really gives that 'professional hitman' vibe I'm still looking forward to picking up Skyrim VR, I still have ADR1FT, Detached and Doom VFR waiting for me, would like to pick Eagle Flight back up again as well as Dirt Rally and Robo Recall, Elite Dangerous if I ever build up the courage to learn how to play that game... and plenty that I haven't even looked at yet because I already have this list waiting for me. But if it's for you? Well it really depends what games you like to play and if you think you'd really like the games that are available. For people that can withstand VR well and that have a broad taste in games there is plenty to play, but if you're more particular about your games you may find the games on offer to be a bit sparse. As for which headset... if money is not an object and you don't mind mounting the lighthouse units in the room where you'll play then I'd say definitely the Valve Index. But it's expensive... If you want to cut costs then probably the Rift S, but the tracking on it is slightly less reliable. The hardware you need really doesn't have to be that impressive. I have a Ryzen 2600 running at 4 GHz with a 1060 6GB myself. Sure, I'd like a beefier videocard, especially for Fallout 4 VR (it runs at 45 FPS usually, not the 90 you'd ideally want for the CV1's 90 Hz refreshrate), but in general it performs just fine and I'm really happy with my setup.
