It was much longer, actually. I talked at length about all of you, your work, and how the tables are recreated.

It was edited out, apparently. :(

You seem like a pretty likable guy in that. Do your contraptions play VPX without controller lag? You mentioned other countries. Does any of them buy more that the US?

LOL. That's me! :)

 

Yes, they play VPX very well. No lag, no stutter.

 

The US orders about 3 to 1 over international.

That's a great interview!  Any longer and it would have to be called a documentary! :D

Nice to have a face to a voice! 

Great to see that you are getting recognition for your work.

And I'd like to say publicly that your work is nothing short of amazing.

The Virtuapin you made for me is a serious work of art, down to the tiniest of detail.

 

And yes, Paul is a good guy who truly gives a sh*t about what he does.

Hell, he put up with me and my incessant questions over emails and phone calls the entire time

he was working on my Cab. I'm sure once he got off the phone with me it was a different story, haha!

But he was chill and took my crap very professionally and honestly. I really enjoyed geeking out with him.

 

You seriously can't go wrong with a Virtuapin.

 

Plus the cab just really ties the room together, don't you think?

Hey nightguant,

Thanks!
