Doesn't matter - in the home-segment, most Macs are laptops or tablets, and the best GPU there is the GTX750m, which is below the minimum-specs of the Oculus Rift.
Mac users may be willing to spend lavishly, but there's (currently) nothing effectively available that is usable with "Foculus".

Submission + - Destiny and Germanic Mythology (thang.dk)

GNious writes: For Gaming and Mythology nerds alike, a look at the game Destiny, and how it uses Germanic/Norse Mythology (text+video) in its imagery and designs, notably Odin's tree, ravens, and wolves.
Also included, some pointers to where some other in-game objects may have found their names, outside of the Germanic family of mythologies

A previous episode looked at the upcoming House of Wolves' use of Ancient Egyptian inspiration.

Oh, definitely - I'd also seen my first "dirty magazine" by the time I was 11.

But there's a difference between that, and a 5-yr old being subjected her favorite cartoon figure engaging in various acts, or hearing her talk about exterminating the native population while being a "potty-mouth".

I'm kinda conscious of my kids learning the differences between nudity, affection and sexuality, and some of the stuff people are uploading on YouTube would undermine my efforts in that area.

There is some content on YouTube, that many parents (me included) find inappropriate for children.

Example was that my kid had found some Dora the Explorer cartoons on it, and afterwards YouTube suggested "related videos" that included very explicit adult content in non-official Dora cartoons.
