Your daily roundup of the biggest games, movies, and TV news, filtered for purity and delivered at 5pm PST
Give yourself a pat on the back - you're now more than halfway through the work week! There have been plenty of big news stories to go around today (scroll to the bottom for some sweet links), but here are some other tidbits you might've missed.

Oculus Rift headsets turn into VR-enabled paperweights
Owners of the Oculus Rift headsets got a nasty surprise today when Rifts were rendered temporarily useless, due to a glitch with the expired certificates linked to each device. Oculus is hard at work on a fix, so hopefully VR aficionados won't have to stay trapped in this world for too long.
