Personality

VR Headset is a cheerful object that tends to use video game "slang terms" such as "level up" or "game over" to describe things to contestants or things happening, making him appear quite nerdy. He also seemingly uses these kinds of jokes in situations where they aren't appropriate, suggesting that he is overall unserious in nature.
