It kind-of bums me out that the only time genre shows seemed actually interested in portraying video games/cyber worlds was during the late 80s/90s, way before technology and familiarity with the subject could realize them. Then I look at the costumes again and start laughing and all is well.

Warehouse 13's take on it wasnt bad. They went with a faux-cel-shaded filter over the scenes instead of crappy cgi.

Don't forget there was a Murder She Wrote episode that dealt with these themes.

They're annoyed they did the comic book TV show poo poo just a few years too early so they brought it back.

All TV shows in the early 90s were required by law to have a VR episode.

That photo has been mocked relentlessly already. For me, beyond how silly it looks, it's the lack of shoes that really makes it hilarious.

Just one question, though. Is there a way to take off my pants?
No, it's great. Now you can dig your toes in the sand and sip a piña colada while your oculus rift tells you you're still doing work at your desk.
