A Twenty Questions Special Investigation

It's G.I. Joe Against Cobra


Somewhere, the Gamesmaster's new island awaited, but past the death‑maze, the oversized chessboard, the giant pinball traps (games he attended to use against both G.I. Joe and Cobra, perhaps even Dreadknoks and Cobra-La as well, in due time, but that would have to wait), he and his robot companion, Koko, were deep in his plush, overstuffed media room. 

Koko was already sprawled across a his chair, juggling popcorn in his mouth.

Gamesmaster turned on his TV, plopping down in his chair, "Oh, Koko, it's time for my favorite news program… Twenty Questions!"

Koko was unimpressed and complained, "Boooring! Let's watch something fun like Pee‑wee's Playhouse! Hehehe!"

Gamesmaster side-eyed his best friend and turned up the volume,  "Nonsense! The news is fun! Especially when it's about my favorite game:  G.I. Joe versus Cobra, locked in glorious, endless competition!"

Koko questioned his creator and only friend, "Gamesmaster just hopes he sees pretty lady again. Lady Jaye… hehehehe! Gamesmaster likes pretty lady, hehehe. Gamesmaster and Lady Jaye sitting in the tree... K I S S I N G!"

Gamesmaster threw his remote at Koko, "I do not! I do not! I simply appreciate staying informed."

Koko used the remote and pulled up Gamesmaster's files. "This would say differently, Gamesmaster's naughty Lady Jaye collection..... hehehe..." Winking at the camera, the ever-cheeky Koko warned anyone else watching, "NSFW, hehehe...so be careful... hehehe..."

"What a great shower, but why are the towels these days so 
small? Wasn't Dial-Tone put in charge of that? And I do 
feel like I'm watched all the time, oh it's probably nothing!"

Gamemaster quickly turned back on Twenty Questions and was at his end with his clown-bot pal, "That's, umm, just research.  Now hush, or I'll put you in the death arcades!"

The robot clown feared for his life, and slouched into position to watch the "boring" news, "Ehhh… hehehe… fine! fine! zipping it!... hehehe.."

The TV flickered. Hector Ramirez's theme music blared. The Gamesmaster leaned forward, eyes gleaming, while Koko was mumbling with his arms crossed, "Koko hates the news! hehehe."

"Ooooh, here we go! Let the game begin!" Gamesmaster said as Twenty Questions was off and running.
