All right, I don’t know if anyone else is still following this thread, but I needed to clear up a few things about my appearance.
First and foremost, I NEVER HANDLED MY SYSTEM ROUGHLY. EVER. I take extremely good care of everything I own, and the VB was no exception. It only looks like I’m setting it up roughly because of their editing and not showing the whole process.
YES, the system was glitching. This happens to ALL Virtual Boys eventually because they have notoriously-loose connectors. I’m not tech savvy, so I wasn’t going to rip it open and try to fix it on my own, or anything like that.
The story about unopened boxes of Virtual Boys being found is true. I’m not saying the numbers that Big Hoss gave are a hundred percent accurate, but the STORY is true to some degree.
I was lucky to get what I did for it given that the thing wasn’t working right.
And, the big thing – the “lose the girl or lose the system” thing was a throwaway line that wasn’t meant to be taken seriously! Seriously, does anyone on here watch the show regularly? It’s what EVERY GUY says that is selling something. There were more scenes filmed regarding this line (hell, it practically became a subplot) but that was the only reference that remained.
I also had no idea they were going to do the scene at the end with the Old Man playing the VB, a total surprise.
And on a slightly unrelated note, there were about 6 months between the time this was filmed and aired.
