1. the graphics really suck in their demos, they could do better

2. have fun going blind from using these idiot gadgets. your eyes were never built to focus that close.

3. I lived with undiagnosed PTSD for many years, it caused severe social problems. Every attempt I made to socialise in the real world, always went horribly wrong, it resulted in a severe PTSD episode, which for me, involved blackouts. I have since entered the world via social media, I was able to learn to socialise from the safety of my room in groups on Facebook who have also lived with a mental health condition. I am now able to socialise in the real world more successfully. I still have a ways to go and have yet to experience dating, but I now feel I have a chance to achieve this yet.

4. – "Hello. You are calling Dr.Jones' VR clinic, how may I help you?"
   – "Hi, this is Mr. Smith speaking. I just heard about your VR treatment and believe it might help me with my problem".
   – "What do you suffer from, Mr. Smith?"
   – "I have an irrational fear of hot, passionate sex with very attractive women".
