This full-motion VR simulator was so intense, I stepped off and threw up

I didn't expect, stepping in, that this 720-degree VR simulator would make me physically sick.
At a glance the Aorus VR simulator looks like a lot of similar rigs you'd find in janky arcades of your youth.*
SEE ALSO: Arcades of the future are going to be amazing, if StarVR is any indication (http://mashable.com/2017/05/30/star-vr-computex/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial)
But I wasn't ready for the game I was about to get strapped into, Redout (http://store.steampowered.com/app/517710/Redout_Enhanced_Edition/).
Sitting in the rig, you have a VR headset and a pair of headphones on, before you're handed a joystick and told to "hold on really tight."

Yes that's me **t ready for the next 2 minutes.
