What you will read and see is something that will utterly take you by surprise

BTW, guess who's performing the Demo?

Hey!

I just REALLY wanted to draw your attention to some awesome things we're doing, I believe that VR is going to change the way we play and consume content and in terms of fishing (believe me as a tester) this is just mindblowing.
