Eh, I know you were trying to be clever, which you were at some points, but a decent portion of this just comes away as unapolagetically nasty and mean. You can take artificially confrontational writing a bit too far...
That was hilarious, one of the funniest things I've read on the C-Blogs in a while. Keep up the good work
Love the picture of you face down on the floor with the VB on your face. I feel less manly now that I have my 3DS. Less manly and sad.
@rexwolf2
I did feel a little bad about the "Douchebag Stupid" part (mostly because I thought I could come up with something better), but otherwise was it really so offensive? :P
@bbain
And I yours, my friend. I actually only just changed it to this after years of not updating my goddamn picture on this website. I've been away much too long, Destructoid.
@Portable Nerd
Don't feel too emasculated! I have a 3DS as well, showing the world that you can be a manly man gamer and still own a pansy system at the same time. I don't even have a game for it yet! I've just been playing Find Mii and the AR Games a ton.
Also, I hear they'll have Virtual Boy games on the shop channel for the 3DS, so that's something to look forward to, even if it won't obscure your vision like the real thing does. XD

I loved it! I don't even have a 3DS but I still feel inferior!
I'll post a couple of pics of my (also stand-less) Virtual Boy later if I can dig it out!

What a post!
I remember getting headaches from the VB though when I was younger, probably played that Mario Tennis game far to long...

That helmet...
I need one of those for my Virtual Boy. Do you make them to order? I also need to fix my VB, the video cable for the right eye is loose. Take note that hot glue is not a secure method of attaching cables to anything.

Lieeees, new is more expensive, although why would i want it new?
One of my friends had it, so I did get to play a few games on it, I would probably have ended up with one after Xmas or birthday if it hadn't have such a short life.

I have a Virtual Boy (with head unit, stand, eyeshade, controller and ac-adapter) and I actually do have to say I like to play it once in a while. Virtual Boy Wario Land, Teleroboxer, Galactic Pinball, Mario Clash, and especially the Japan exclusive "Space Squash" are a lot of fun to play. I think people bash on the Virtual Boy before really giving it a fair chance.
So, a little follow-up now that I've actually played with it for more than a few minutes (yeah, I was just so hyped up about my new system that I had to write this post). :P
I picked up Virtual Boy Wario Land and rented Mario Clash from work today (I work at a used game store). Mario Clash is kinda neat (basically 3D original Mario Bros) and Wario Land is a lot of fun with its fancy layered platforming. This is confusing, because Mario Clash is $25 (and not likely to be worth that much as far as pure gameplay is concerned) while Wario Land only cost me $10 (but will likely having me enjoying a good couple hours of headache-inducing fun).
I'm thrilled to have one of the best Virtual Boy games for so cheap, but it upsets me that I'll have to pay $25 for the rest (we also have Panic Bomber and Red Alert at the store), as I do intend to collect all of them. Maybe I'll write some in-depth review down the road after I've enjoyed all the system has to offer.
Also, as dumb as it looks, I actually have been playing with that helmet contraption you see pictured above. My roommate laughed at me when he saw me playing Wario Land earlier, but sadly, it really is the most manageable way to play without the stand. Also, I learned that it's impossible to move anywhere when playing with the AC adapter, as unplugging the controller (which is connected to the AC) from the helmet will bring your game to a swift end.
So yeah. My dilemma: Buy a stand and be physically able to walk away from the game or invest in a couple pounds of AA batteries so I can endanger myself and those around me with my hindered senses.
I love this fucking system.

see everybody complained about the headaches, but my issue was always with how I had to wrench my neck up to play it.
I loved the system, but eventually it just became to impractical to play for long enough. Plus I am nearsighted and this forced me to do weird stuff with my glasses to get it to work. Wario Land on the system is fantastic however.
