00:00 - A lot of questions today about the future of Rift — we're still driving forward on the Rift/PC platform with new hardware, software, and content. Lots of great stuff in the works. More to share in the months ahead.

- Replying to @natemitchellThe messages on final production hardware say “This Space For Rent” & “👁The Masons Were Here.👁” A few dev kits shipped with “👁Big Brother is Watching👁” and “Hi iFixit! We See You!👁” but those were limited to non-consumer units. [2/3]
- 1/ I'm thrilled to announce that Mountaintop has raised $30M from an incredible set of investors who share our vision for gaming! You can read more on the @itsmountaintop blog:
- FYI for Oculus devs - this week's Rift Sept update (1.8) includes Guardian, our boundary system for Touch. More details to share at OC3!

- This morning I shared a bit on why I'm excited for VR in 2019 over on the Oculus blog: ocul.us/2019. Stay tuned to hear more about some of those surprises this year at GDC
- Rift is back online as of ~12am. This was a mistake on our end, and we apologize. Folks impacted by today's downtime will be provided with an Oculus store credit. More details to follow soon. Thanks again for everyone's patience as we worked through this one.
- We had two roadmaps: plausible and impossible. This partnership means the impossible roadmap just became ‘very likely’.
- TechRadar: "...Virtual reality has its Super Mario 64 moment, and its name is Lone Echo."
