Prof. Bloom - Retro Vtuber 💈Twitch Partner!

Schedule! Monday - Splatterhouses, on Famicom and Turbografx! Wednesday - My annual play of Going Down Turbo Friday - Finishing Vampire Hunter D! If I do it quickly, I'll have something else lined up. All streams 6pm EDT

For 2027 I'm considering streaming with a camera pointed at my CRTs. I know it's a little silly, but I think it could be a fun novelty every now and again. Trouble is, that's not easy to do well! I'd need a high quality camera that can sync to the refresh rate of the screen. Any suggestions?

Obscure gaming devices I'd like to own some day! Some of these are much more likely than others.

Sorry, no stream tonight! I've got meetings for a non-profit board on which I serve, which will likely go until 9 or later. I'll still stream on Wednesday and Friday, exact games to be determined still!

Chaos Warrior is now available for 25% off as part of a bundle with Destiny Spire! #steam #steambundle #steamsale #jrpg #retrogaming #rpg store.steampowered.com/bundle/93475...

I've had a migraine all day, and while I can't say it was caused by Devil May Cry 2, I can't say it wasn't caused by Devil May Cry 2

This fixes an issue with v1.1 where a few files were missing, such as the yaku voice lines, due to rebuilding that ISO with a different tool than before. I didn't notice the previous tool escaped some Windows invalid chars, which didn't get unescaped properly with the new one.

DMC2 finished, both campaigns! It's really not that bad at all. It isn't that GOOD either, but it's pretty fun overall, and worth playing for sure. Lucia is cool as hell, too, and Dante has at least one all-time great line. Thank you all for watching!

Someone bet me I wouldn't stream Devil May Cry 2, both campaigns, in one night, so guess what I'm doing? Live now with Devil May Cry 2! twitch.tv/profbloomvtu...

Afternoon, class! I'm changing my schedule a bit, so tonight's stream will be DEVIL MAY CRY 2 on the PS2. I haven't played it in probably twenty years, but how bad can it be? I've been challenged to clear both campaigns in one night, so I'll see you at 6pm EDT for it!

Going Down Turbo is one of the best ever, simply perfect. I crushed it this year, too, under 4 hours to beat! Thank you all for watching. Look forward to Friday...and Dante

It's Going Down! Turbo! Live now with one of my all-time favorite Doom wads for my annual playthrough. twitch.tv/profbloomvtuber

Afternoon, class! It's time for my annual playthrough of Cyriak's Doom masterpiece, Going Down! Originally released in 2014, in 2024, he released Going Down Turbo, a version designed to be faster and punchier, which is what I'll play tonight. See you at 6pm EDT!

I've mentioned before that I'm planning to do Noidvember, where I practice and grind out a world record Yo! Noid NES speedrun. I think I can do it. Would people rather see a certain amount of attempts per stream, or nothing but Noid until I do it?

Wonder Momo!!!

I beat both Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti and Splatterhouse 1 tonight! What fun games. I did use the level select code for Splatterhouse 1, so I'll need to beat it properly someday. Tremendous fun, thank you for watching!

It's time to Splatter some Houses, in a spooky retro double feature! Live now! twitch.tv/profbloomvtuber

Afternoon, class! Ready to get spooky? Tonight at 6pm EDT, I'll be playing Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti on Famicom, and Splatterhouse on TurboGrafx-16! I promise it'll all work this time.

Did you know that I'm an absolute maniac when playing Sonic the Hedgehog Blue Sphere? www.twitch.tv/profbloomvtu...

Whoops, a little more than 24 hours. Thank you all for hanging out while I went through a huge wheel of your chosen Sega Saturn games! Bulk Slash (with twin stick!), Densha de Go (with train controller), blue sphere (so much) and more! I love streaming and I love Sega Saturn!

TWENTY FOUR HOURS OF SEGA SATURN, STARTING NOW! twitch.tv/profbloomvtuber

Afternoon, class! Tonight I'm streaming for TWENTY FOUR HOURS and it's all Sega Saturn! The Wheel of Saturn games starts spinning at 6pm EDT and I'll go until 6pm EDT on Saturday. The wheel was populated by your choices, and it's got a lot of exciting stuff. See you at 6!

This Is Startan ended with one hell of a bang! FlyingGoner was crazy for that one. 12,345 enemies and the first 3000 are in a cramped, interconnnected techbase with no super shotty. Great set of levels overall, I recommend checking it out!

Live now, finishing up THIS IS STARTAN, a community celebration of one of Doom's most basic, most famous, and most memed on textures! twitch.tv/profbloomvtu...

Afternoon, class! Get ready for more STARTAN because for tonight's Doom with Bloom, I'm going to finish This is STARTAN. It's been lots of fun, and the last handful of maps look big and challenging. See you at 6pm EDT!

This shit's on my mind every time an old game gets some port announced and everyone's like "finally this game is playable now"

Vampire Hunter D is really cool! I think I'm about halfway through? It's very stylish and it feels like more than the sum of its parts. I'll finish it next Monday. Thank you for watching, everyone!

It's time for Vampire Hunter D! I've never played this before, but it looks extremely stylish. Live now! twitch.tv/profbloomvtu...

Afternoon, class! Spooky month continues tonight with Vampire Hunter D on the PlayStation. You may know the 1985 or 2000 anime films, but did you know there are over 30 novels in the series? The game looks like a gorgeous gothic action adventure, so let's play it tonight at 6pm EDT!

Schedule! Monday - Vampire Hunter D for PlayStation! Wednesday - Finishing THIS IS STARTAN Friday - HOLY MOLY 24 HOUR WHEEL OF SATURN STREAM!!! All streams at 6pm EDT!

I got an incredibly good local deal on a widescreen HD CRT! It's a Samsung TX-P2670WHX/XAA, and it can do 1080i, 720p, and 480p natively! Here's some widescreen retro gaming samples, including Sega Saturn, OG Xbox, and for fun, widescreen Laserdisc!

The Book of Bobos is comeing NOW romhack.ing/database/con...

Thought about going bowling but saw that my local lanes now charge ELEVEN DOLLARS per game of tenpin bowling. Absolutely insane.

I will hopefully have an extremely exciting retro gaming purchase to share tomorrow...

D is really fantastic! Kenji Eno was a real visionary. I'm amazed I got the good ending on my first try, too. Thanks for watching! It was also fun explaining a bit about some more 3DO games, like Life Stage, Doctor Hauzer, Tetsujin, and more. I love 3DO!

Are you ready for a spooky good time? Let's play the FMV horror classic, D, from Kenji Eno's studio, WARP! The 3DO was the original version, so that's where I'm playing it. I got a copy for a great price not long ago, so I'm very excited. Live now! twitch.tv/profbloomvtu...

Afternoon, class! Tonight, let's keep the spooky train rolling with D on 3DO! This was the debut effort from Kenji Eno's studio WARP, and it was released first and foremost for 3DO. Let's delve into the horror tonight at 6pm EDT!

Exciting stuff! Wishlisted!

Guys! Guys! GUYS!!!! My new game was just announced!!! Go check out Station 58 on Steam - wishlist it, join the playtest, DO ALL THE THINGS!!! store.steampowered.com/app/3757660/... (I'm the creative director, with @dustwrites.bsky.social as project lead)

Everyone, please direct your attention to this clip of my cat, Simon, purring very loudly in my lap on stream tonight www.twitch.tv/profbloomvtu...

POV u are going to die

STARTAN and FIREBLU together at last! This is STARTAN is pretty great! Lots of very creative maps, so it never felt tedious or same-y, despite the ubiquity of STARTAN. I'll probably finish it next week. Thanks for watching!

Do you like Doom's most basic and common texture? Good news! There's a wad for you! Live now with a community project celebrating everyone's favorite default texture, STARTAN! twitch.tv/profbloomvtu...

Afternoon, class! Do you like the Doom texture, STARTAN? Well, good news! Tonight at 6pm EDT for Doom with Bloom, I'll be streaming THIS IS STARTAN, a celebration of one of Doom's most maligned textures. Check out the trailer! youtu.be/QXh4SbUxseA

What's a retro game you think could get me to rage? I feel like I'm a remarkably calm and even-keeled gamer, so I want your best recommendations for games that could get me tilted!

No matter what I try, I can't get more than a gray screen from my older model Everdrive N8. I've added the Famicom (60 pin) Everdrive N8 Pro, which is much more advanced, on my Throne. Any help would be very appreciated! throne.com/profbloom

Sorry to cut stream early. My Everdrive might be dead, so that's fun. But at least I got to beat Monster in My Pocket and Monster Party! Can you believe this is my sixth year in a row beating Monster Party in October? I didn't die once this year! Thanks for watching!

It's time to get spooky! I want to beat at least 3 of these tonight, so come enjoy some 8-bit creepy games, live now! twitch.tv/profbloomvtu...

Afternoon, class. Tonight, spooky NES! I'll play Monster in my Pocket for the first time, do my annual play of Monster Party, and then play spooky translated Famicom games Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti and Jesus Kyofu no Biomonster (if there's time). See you at 6pm EDT!
