Back on the podcast with Season 2! Check it out!

I am back! Wow, what a crazy world we live in! I talk just a little about that, but mainly about how Arizona Sunrise was optimized for Quest, my short time with Pixel Ripped 95, the four upgrades I'd love to see for Quest, and why Oculus should let their own creations have a life! Tune in, and thank you for having me back! https://www.polygon.com/2020/4/6/21183494/arizona-sunrise-oculus-quest-optimization-mobile-vr https://www.google.com/amp/s/venturebeat.com/2020/03/15/oculus-quest-wishlist-4-upgrades-we-want/amp/
