    I just got a Vive - what can I do besides Steam games?

    I'm downloading a ton of games, but I'm wondering what else I can do with this thing. Like, what's the thing Jeff was checking out with concerts and standing on top of mountains?

    Well, I guess one of the things you could do with it is prop it up somewhere, then sit close to it, stare at it, and wonder about the many things you could've done with those 800 bucks instead.

    Seriously speaking though just look at the "software" part in steam's catalog, those lil experiences should be there.

    @guanophobic: @onarum I'm still enjoying it quite a bit. Do each of you own Vives and regret the purchase?

    @djhicks1: I don't have the money right now or an upgraded GPU and a VR headset but I do own a PS4. If Soundstage went to the PS4 I'd be all over that and PSVR.

    Try the Oculus Rift stuff using Revive. A lot of it is free! Luckys Tale is really good.

    Also, try minecraft in VR. Find the newest version at r/Vive
