Anyone else think these movies are too similar to each other? I think we need a list of "VR User Rules of Thumb". To start:

• I will not turn off the "I'm in VR" indicator and other default safety features.
• I will avoid a system that kills me whenever my VR character dies.
• I will remember to look for the pause button when I comparison-shop for a VR rig.
• If I become sick, confused or disoriented, I will immediately execute the equivalent of Control-Alt-Delete.
• If I discover a computer-controled character unexpectedly attempting to hack out of the system, I will shut off power and call technical support instead of engaging him in hand-to-hand combat.
• If I discover my current reality is actually a VR, I will try to avoid irritating the administrators of the VR system.
• If I discover my current reality is actually a VR and manage to exit it, I will immediate try to determine if I am still in an VR environment.
