Overview
Daniel reviews Christmas presents, including an accidental mutual exchange of Vertoba VR headsets with Daniel's sister, a rubber-dart Nerf gun, a Steve Jobs book, socks, underwear, and German warmers.
Using the VR headset for games and a roller coaster simulation caused motion sickness, nausea, and dizziness.
Daniel spent the rest of Christmas Day waking late, eating little turkey, feeling disconnected from parents over repetitive gifts, and watching the remastered Star Wars Episode IV while critiquing CGI changes and anticipating Rogue One.
Daniel concludes the video after wishing viewers a good Christmas, anticipating the next day's movie, and planning to play Battlefield for two hours before sleep.
