I had such a wonderful birthday week, and Saturday night's Variety Jam was no exception! 🥳🥰 Thanks to all who donated and chose really fun and unique games to play, and to everyone who hung out! Tonight we get back to... ALAN WAKE 2 first playthrough on PS5! Heck yessssss 😉

I'm live now with Real Retro Console Variety goodness over at twitch.tv/cobracommanda - the Birthday Party continues! 🥳

Thanks SO much to everyone for the incredible birthday love last night! 💜 The fun will continue tomorrow (Saturday) night with a birthday-themed Variety Jam on real retro consoles. 🥳🎮📺 See you there!

Starting as close to 8 PM EST as possible--don't miss my special Birthday Secret of Monkey Island stream tonight at CobraCommanda on Twitch! 🥰

For my Birthday stream on Thursday night I've decided to play through Monkey Island 1 on-stream for the first time in over 5 years! 😮 Starting hopefully 8 PMish EST, twitch.tv/cobracommanda! 🥳🐒🏴‍☠️🏝️ Photo is from PAX East 2015 😁

That was the *BEST* DLC I've ever played (to date)--Well done, Alan Wake 2! 🤣 No stream 'til Thurs B-Day stream! 🥳Thanks for raiding @thatradiogeek.bsky.social @dragongem.live @thedeviot.bsky.social @zophar.bsky.social @amazingshake.bsky.social @kilg0retr0ut.bsky.social @thestytch.bsky.social! 💜☺️

Slight change of plans for tonight's stream! We *will* finish up The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav, but then we are going to check out the *brand new* NES-style modern retro action platformer Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege on the Nintendo Switch! See you there 😎 twitch.tv/cobracommanda

Tonight: Alan Wake 2 playthrough on PS5 begins! twitch.tv/cobracommanda 😎

Oh hey, well that's a milestone--just achieved 250K hours watched on Twitch! 🥳 Thanks everyone for all of the incredible support over the years. 💜🥰

We didn't finish The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav last night, but it's a beautiful game so I'm not complaining! I appreciate the raids from Ashli_Gator @imalittletpat.bsky.social @tawejea.bsky.social & @misswillowfaye.bsky.social--Thank you so much! 💜 We start Alan Wake 2 on PS5 tomorrow night!! 😱✍️

Thanks to everyone for a fantastic Variety Jam on Saturday night! ☺️ I'm really looking forward to relaxing tonight with more of the beautiful fantasy art in The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav 2012 point & click by Daedalic Entertainment. See you there!

Tonight is Retro Variety Jam Chillstream on Twitch! Bribe me to play whatever game you want on Real Retro Consoles, or just kick back and enjoy the fun and relaxed vibes... 😎🌴🍸🎮📺 twitch.tv/cobracommanda

I'm streaming tonight! We're going to keep going with Yoshi's Island/Super Mario World 2 on real retro SNES hardware--I'd love to finally beat it. 💪 See you soon!

It's point & click night on Twitch! We'll be playing the beautifully illustrated fantasy title The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav by Daedalic Entertainment (2012). I really loved it when I first played this one 10 years ago, hope to see you there! 💜🎮

TONIGHT SHINING FORCE 2 COBRACOMMANDA ON TWITCH ⚔️

Grant is streaming on Twitch right now (twitch.tv/neon_arcade) on REAL Sharp X68000 / X68K hardware! 🤯 I live with him, so I know how long this took him to set up properly--you do NOT want to miss this stream! 👇💯

No fooling here! It's not my style... 😛 I'm going to *try* to finish Shining Force 2 tonight, but after Monday's stream I am NOT making any promises. 😆 But hey, it's not like I'm going to complain about getting to enjoy this game for longer... 😉

We didn't finish Shining Force 2 last night because the fights got ROUGH 😳 but we made progress and leveled up--aiming for Weds to finish! 💪 Thanks so much for raiding @pointthenclick.bsky.social @misswillowfaye.bsky.social @zophar.bsky.social @midnightmonopoly.bsky.social @polycircus.bsky.social! 💜

Will we finish our Shining Force 2 playthrough on real Sega Genesis hardware tonight on Twitch? Only one way to find out: be there! 🫵

We're smooth sailing into Variety Jam on Real Consoles tonight! ⛵️🍸😎 Bribe for a game you want, or just chill with us and enjoy the vibes 🦩🌴 Had a great time w/ more SF2, thanks for raiding @theraindog.bsky.social @thedeviot.bsky.social @protoshield15.bsky.social & @cybertruckeralpha.bsky.social!

We get back to Shining Force 2 tonight! Hopefully no more demon summoning is required?!? 😮😈😱

"Rumour has it that you are silly." 😜 Tonight we continue our Conquest of the Longbow! 🏹 If we beat it early enough then we will check out Esoteric Ebb for a bit (I loooove it). And below is my schedule for the rest of the week. 👇 See you soon! 👋😎

My Shining Force 2 first playthrough on real Sega Genesis hardware continues tonight over on Twitch! 💜🎮

I had such a lovely 5-Year Streamaversary celebration Thursday night! Thanks again to all who came out and who supported me so generously. 💜☺️ I won't be on tonight, go watch @neonarcade.bsky.social's Viewer's Choice stream! I'll be back tomorrow (Sunday) with more Shining Force 2 ☀️

After some brief technical difficulties we are now LIVE over at CobraCommanda on Twitch for my 5-Year Streamaversary! 🥳

One of my earliest clips (trying to remember how to do "Cornholio" during Grim Fandango)--April 8, 2021! Still can't believe it's been 5 years of streaming. ☺️ Hope to see you tonight! 💜

Gun Hazard was a blast last night - thanks for hanging out with me and some Wanzers! 🤖 I'm switching nights with @cobracommanda.bsky.social tonight, so I'll be live around 9:30 EST with a rare new game stream: Retro Rewind! We're going to run a VHS rental shop. 📼 twitch.tv/neon_arcade

No stream tonight because tomorrow (Thursday 3/19) is exactly 5 years from my very first Twitch stream ever--my Streamaversary! 🥳 We're going to be revisiting a beloved game I played very early on, starting early (hopefully 7 or 8 PM EST). Would love to see you there! 💜🎮5⃣🎇🎆

THANK YOU for raiding my Shining Force 2 stream last night davidalexander82 ShaggyTurtle_Studios @thedeviot.bsky.social @thestytch.bsky.social @tawejea.bsky.social @neimadsattic.bsky.social Nekomancer_Eli @protoshield15.bsky.social DontPanicFlip @jcox.bsky.social & @midnightmonopoly.bsky.social! 💜

We got "Sexy Peter" the Phoenix during our last stream of Shining Force 2--Who will be promoted this stream? 😆😘🪽 Come find out around 9:30/10 PM EST at twitch.tv/cobracommanda! 💜🎮

If you missed Shining Force 2 on Thurs, you missed possibly the closest battle in my 5 years of streaming--but we DEFEATED the Kraken (thanks to non-sexy Peter) and tonight we kick back with Variety Jam Night on real retro consoles! 🎮 The vibes are always immaculate, be there 😎

Shining Force 2 first playthrough on real Sega Genesis hardware continues tonight on Twitch! 💜🎮 twitch.tv/cobracommanda

I posted my poll in multiple places and there was no clear winner! Thanks to you who voted but I've decided I'm actually going to see if I can finish Yoshi's Island for Mar10 tonight because it's the least stressful and I really need low stress right now...😅 See you at twitch.tv/cobracommanda soon!

It's Mar10 Day! What should I play tonight? 🤔 Please vote in the comments! 🗳️ * Mario 2 (NES) * Mario 3 (NES) * Mario World (SNES) * Yoshi's Island (SNES)

I can't believe how much I love @rawfury.bsky.social's latest game Esoteric Ebb; the writing is fantastic! I've still yet to play Disco Elysium (now I want to) and barely played any D&D in my life, but if you're a fan of either or both, definitely check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/2057760/...

When is the last time I played through a 90s console RPG on-stream? It has been a WHILE to say the least! So tonight we're going to kick off my first-ever playthrough of Shining Force 2 on real Sega Genesis hardware! Starting 9:30ish EST at twitch.tv/cobracommanda! 💜🎮

After giving it some thought I have decided to continue playing the adorable action-adventure platformer Monster Boy IV on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, since I was really enjoying it during Saturday night's Variety Jam stream! See you in a couple of hours on Twitch 😉💜🎮

I had a lot of fun taking down Bioshock 2 on Monday night--what a game! So many thanks to @retrorodeo.bsky.social @ladymistdragon.bsky.social @observerherb.bsky.social @tawejea.bsky.social & ShaggyTurtle_Studios for raiding in! 💜 Still trying to figure out what I want to play tonight on Twitch... 😅

Saturday night's Variety Jam was wonderful and just what I needed: such lovely friends and chill vibes! 💜🌊☺️ Tonight we venture back to Rapture! Can we take out Sophia Lamb and her crazy cult tonight, or will I end up having to call the stream at 5:30 AM? 😆 Only one way to find out!

The planets have aligned to bring you another chill Variety Jam on Retro Console Night over at CobraCommanda on Twitch on this final day of February! 🪐 I think we could all use some relaxing times right about now, so I hope you'll sail on over and vibe with us for a bit ⛵️🌊🥃

My Bioshock 2 first playthrough continues on Twitch & YouTube tonight (cobracommanda on both platforms)! This playthrough has been awesome so far, hope to see you there around 9:30/10 PM EST!

I started Bioshock 2 in Nov 2024 right after finishing 1 but only got a few hours in; let's take it from the top tonight, because I really want to play Infinite/3 but @neonarcade.bsky.social insists I play through 2 first! 😆 Also--best teaser ever made? www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rg7...

Grant isn't feeling well so I'm going to stream on Twitch tonight instead with a Zelda/Zelda-like Variety Jam Chillstream in honor of TLoZ's 40th! 🥳 Come watch Zeldas and Zelda-likes on real hardware, or bribe me to play something specific if you want. 🤑 See you there! 🧝‍♀️⚔️

I really don't know why I do this to myself. 🤦‍♀️ It was like Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster 2.0 but minus the joys of Tim Curry. We did manage to get through Lighthouse: The Dark Being... in 8.5 hours. No stream tomorrow (Friday) night, I'm recovering. 😩

TONIGHT I'm going to play through an old Sierra Myst-like that always intrigued me but I somehow never got around to playing through--1996's Lighthouse: The Dark Being. See you in an hour or so over at twitch.tv/cobracommanda! 💡

Alan Wake was a real treat to experience! Nice to get through it in 3 streams too, perfect length. Thanks to our awesome raiders Nukem9999 @perfectspade.bsky.social @rushpirate1.bsky.social DontPanicFlip Temple_of_An00bis & @jcox.bsky.social! STILL not sure what I'm playing tonight, will post soon 😅

Tonight's the night! My plan is to finish Alan Wake--this story has me totally enthralled. Can't wait to see where it goes towards the end. See you at CobraCommanda on Twitch!

Happy Valentine's Day to all! 💕 I need to get up early tomorrow so we're going to try to go live between 7 and 8 PM EST for Retro Console Variety Jam Night--see you then! 💜🎮📺

Alan Wake got me GOOD last night with one of the bigger jumpscares in my streaming career 😱 Damn it, Barbara! 🤬 Am still loving this game! 😁 Thanks so much for raiding in @herrbawl.com @retroraji.com & captainjax_vs_games! 💪 Sat Night is Retro Console Variety Jam, see you then! 😎💜🎮 More AW on Monday
