You Might Not Approve Of My Latest Mobile Game Obsession

Sony’s Virtual Reality Headset Gets Jimmy Fallon Flailing

During last night’s episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the host and special guest Channing Tatum got a chance to play with Sony’s virtual reality headset, Project Morpheus.
