Can you get a little robot that reads the chat room comments out loud so there’s a little more interaction? 

Felt kinda one sided.

 :dunno

I've seen some streamers use Text-to-speech to read off the chat.  I could look into that.  But in subsquent streams I should have more interaction with the chat. Robotron is one of those games you just got to focus completely on the screen.

Not a bad stream for my first time. I was a little nervous at the start, trying to figure out what to say, but ended up getting comfortable right away.

Didn’t hit 10 mill, but I got up to 8.3 on my 3rd run.

Thanks everyone for tuning in. It was a lot of fun! I’m looking forward to the next stream, hopefully a little earlier in the day.

Yes, a little earlier please! Afternoon came early on the east coast.

The setup worked great. Audio level could be a little louder, but I just backed off the rest of my sounds and upped the master a bit. It was nice to have a subset of the Zapcon / BYOAC crew there to watch with.

Looking forward to the next one.

Ah, robot snark. THAT's what he needed on top of our distractions. (but I like the idea itself)

Mike, if opt doesn’t put out on your next date, let arroyo know and he’ll take care of you.

I thought we talked about this Jimmy, I’d never cheat on you.

I uploaded the video to youtube, and got rid of the 1 hour wait at the beginning:

Did you miss the Easter stream where he died on the second level of every game he played and mispronounced Gradius?

Yeah. I had no idea. How do I get notifications? I subscribed to his channel before the Robotron stream.

hey whattaya talking about, I got through a bunch of UN Squadron!  Gradius III SA-1 hack is pretty damn hard without the slowdown.

Anyway, Easter was just a fun quick one to test out some new gear.

Next Stream is going to be Thursday at 6pm PST (9PM EST).  A bit earlier for people out east.
Gonna do some SmashTV play, and not die on the second level.

On twitch if you follow my stream, there should be a setting for getting notifications.
Otherwise I can just post here when my next stream is.  But mainly I'll be doing Thursdays regularly, and perhaps a couple random ones on the weekend ,.
