And so here it is: Steam Frame; Valve's second in-house VR headset following 2019's Index, featuring a boosted spec sheet, PC-to-headset streaming, and the ability to function standalone. It is, if you don't mind spoilers, a good, often great bit of kit, and fascinating machine - lightweight and wonderfully comfortable, with some neat ideas, and a pleasure to use if you're doing PC-to-VR.

Going through Miles Buckle's Instagram feed is like stumbling into a parallel universe where cinema's greats – Lynch, Hitchcock, Fellini, Kubrick – are reimagined in the familiar but distinctly different visual language of video games. The " here's Johnny " scene from The Shining, where Jack Nicholson terrorises Shelley Duvall, recreated in the stilted comedic style of The Sims 2 . The opening sequence of Twin Peaks told through the landscapes of SimCity 2000 – one of several "orthographic experiments" that Buckle has done using the most iconic Maxis game of my childhood. A low-poly Peter Finch doing the Oscar-winning "I'm a human being, god dammit!" monologue from Sidney Lumet's classic Network. Perfect fever dreams that can't and won't exist outside of these short clips. Read more
