We have one rule in Urban Magic Fight Club. Don’t talk about Urban Magic Fight Club. Well, we’re busted. But please, let your VR valets Jason and Joseph do all the talking in this week’s episode of Presence, a podcast about VR and the people creating it!
A heck of a shakeup in the console space, Coachella’s 360 streaming on YouTube, and Jason’s big day out to Insomniac give plenty to talk about on this week’s episode.
