I thought it was time to make a Twitch trailer, a selection of the kind of crap that I take on stream, random singing / laughter / bad jokes / banging the keyboard / dying inside.

Friday The 13th - Losing your 8-bit head - The Genesis Temple

Friday the 13th, among the original horror franchise, arrives on homecomputers with a scream and a machete. Get ready to die.

Huh didn't know about the legal ramifications. Not a good look for Lucasarts at all.
