Saw the wonderful @robbotron.bsky.social in Exeter tonight and had an absolute blast.
Very much hope I can see The Dark Room show at some point in the near future!

AdventureX is a v special UK gaming expo (at a time when there aren't a huge amount around).

This year it was back with a BANG!!

Guybrush Threepwood (@darmato.bsky.social)!

The Dark Room (@robbotron.bsky.social)!

My video round-up coming soon youtube.com/@cressup?si=...

"Will you follow me on Twitch?"
Listen, all I'm saying is don't ask, don't get. @robbotron.bsky.social was an absolute sweetheart and great fun.
Honestly 🫸🫷 to the person after me for making that moment even funnier.
#AdventureX

It’d be exciting to think that Bluesky has people pretending to be American like Twitter but I honestly don’t think they could talk about Star Trek Deep Space 9 the way it’s expected here without having watched all the episodes a dozen times

All will be well

I’d cross my fingers for luck but then they’d even worse at operating the machine

If you’re taking pictures of homeless people and using them for social media clout you are a cunt of the highest order.

PARTICULARLY if you are doing it under the pretence of being scared by sleeping, vulnerable humans. You get the St George’s Cross of Cuntery, first division.

It was a miles away from astute psychoanalysis, a huge distance from knowledge of film editing and a couple of punchlines away from a solid diss track

YA SMILE! YA SMILE! YA SMILE!

Had a great time at #AdventureX! The Dark Room by @robbotron.bsky.social was the highlight of the weekend for me.

“The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair, Charlie Brown!”

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Have you ever been this close to @robbotron.bsky.social's majestic crotch? No, I don't think you have.
Incredible first The Dark Room experience. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time.

Massive manic face on the screen on stage

What's better than @robbotron.bsky.social's cult comedy show The Dark Room? It's The Dark Room with a BSL interpreter! #AdvX25 #AdvXConf

Today I got called on during a production of @robbotron.bsky.social’s The Dark Room at #AdventureX. He recognized me and proceeded to roast me mercilessly. It was glorious. At the end he rewarded me with a copy of All Star Cheerleader for the Wii. Thank you, John! It was frigging unforgettable.

A cropped photograph of the comedian John Robertson, in character as The Guardian for his show The Dark Room, standing in front of a screen showing a huge nuclear explosion/mushroom cloud erupting in the distance. John has long, white-blonde hair and is dressed in a black t-shirt, black leather trousers and a large set of American football shoulder pads rigged with fairy lights. He is holding a torch and, owing to a delightful happenstance, wearing an appropriate "Ooh FUUUUCK" expression.

Oh, are we sharing timely photos of @robbotron.bsky.social? #TheDarkRoom #AdventureX

Picture of John Robertson dressed as his Dark Room character. He has one boot on a chair, another on the desk. Flashlight is brightening his face too much to see his features. He is stood in a power pose, camera angle looking upwards

Took a great pic of @robbotron.bsky.social tonight at AdventureX

Was glad to be within a crowd that seemed to be mostly new to the show as it was a ton of fun to see the reactions haha! Though being the only one to shout the lines sometimes was a bit lonely 😂

Oh you great delight x

I played! I died. I died. I died. For my 'prize', @robbotron.bsky.social dangled a copy of Another World, one of my top 5 games of the 16-bit era, for the Megadrive, a console I own, in front of me, then snatched it away, an entirely diegetic AND mimetic (and funny) act, the hilarious bastard

(character in a netflix show) well here we are, at the abandoned mall. if that mysterious phone call we got earlier was right, we'll find the key that opens that safe we found out contains a map we need, in order to locate a device which, you'll recall, could be the cause of recent events, such as t

See you there in a bit!

Welp, I'm off to London for #AdventureX, hopefully to meet @darmato.bsky.social and see @robbotron.bsky.social in action again. Buddy road trip with @legoyodax.bsky.social and a three-headed monkey (without the road part; I'm going by train!).

Terry with their crutches (note the u) meeting Mr. John Robertson at the Attic in Totton

Had the BEST time with @everyfairydies.bsky.social and hubs (who has the nicest hands - confirmed)

Thank you @robbotron.bsky.social for the hilarity!

Now to go sleep off the vertigo 🤞 (and rather too much rum!) as soon as we get the last boat home 🤘

*bluesky user watching movie* One star. I don't really like this. They haven't explained this clear liquid everyone is putting in their mouth. Like they haven't had any kind of scene that explains what the clear liquid is and what it's for :\ it would've been easy to just add a scene explaining it

Terry looks at the camera with glasses and a black lacey top on.

Off to live my teen goth dreams with hubs and the amazing Lore @everyfairydies.bsky.social to watch @robbotron.bsky.social later 🤘

Went to a cracking @robbotron.bsky.social show tonight, took me far too long to realise I was one of the "group of goths" that was repeatedly mentioned since I actually wore black and fitted in with my friends for a change 😂
