Spoiler Warning/YMMV

/wiki/Spoiler Warningcreator
  • Black Hole Sue: In the post of the final episode of the Assassin's Creed II LP, Shamus declares Ezio to be one.
  • Cliché Storm: How they envision Half-Life 2 as made by anyone but Valve.
  • Drinking Game: Has an official one. Take a shot if (1) The main character dies. (2) If all contributors talk over each other at the same time. (3) Whenever the game they're playing gets compared to whatever game it's a sequel/Spiritual Successor of (double that if it's by Shamus). (4) Whenever the game crashes on-screen. (5) Whenever Josh mucks up in combat and starts blaming the interface, swears or uses his Catch Phrase. (6) Whenever said mucking up causes a near-death experience that causes him to spam healing items. Other options depend more on which game is played, such as substance abuse in Fallout and the 'rogue cell' gag in Mass Effect 2.
    • Josh and Mumbles eventually decided to play the game themselves during Honest Hearts in order to drown their bloodlust for each other.
  • Ear Worm: The themes, composed by Kevin MacLeod.
  • Fan Dumb: Try saying anything negative about the series in the comment section. Hope you like swarms of people insulting you for having a different opinion!
  • Fridge Horror: Josh manages to shut up the group's ranting about Little Lamplight with the question "Where do the kids come from?"
  • Good Bad Bugs: They've encountered several in each game they've played, somehow managing to find multiple in Half-Life 2 of all things.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: During the Shadow Broker DLC, Shamus complained of the Shadow Broker's spaceship base as too over-the-top villainous, even making comparisons to Bowser. Then it turns out that the Shadow Broker was actually a giant monstrous alien that wasn't too dissimilar to Bowser in actuality.
  • Memetic Badass: Throughout Mass Effect 2:

Mumbles: Don't worry Josh, Mordin's got this covered.

    • Although to be fair, Mordin did clear an entire room on his own once.
  • Rooting for the Empire: In Fallout 3, the group soon decided that the Enclave was really not much better than idiotic Brotherhood of Steel since both groups are fighting just to flip a switch.
  • The Scrappy: Certain characters/factions quickly earn their ire.
    • Fallout 3: Three Dog (for his moralizing and railroading the player to go fix his satellite to progress the plot) and the entire Brotherhood of Steel for Character Derailment and warring over the right to flip a switch.
    • Mass Effect 2: Miranda Lawson and Jacob Taylor (the former for being an incredibly stuck-up and smug bitch and the latter for being nothing more than The Generic Guy). Cerberus as a whole serves as their Berserk Button due to Shepard being railroaded into being associated with them and no in-game way to actively work against them until the end.
    • Fallout: New Vegas: Once again, the Brotherhood of Steel are despised, though this time it's for their immensely assholish attitude. Similarly, the Boomers are also disliked due to their tendency towards firing upon anyone that comes at them and their tedious quest chain.
  • Scrappy Level: The group hated Little Lamplight because of the extreme Plot Hole it represented. And because the kids weren't killable.
  • Shipping: There's a certain subset of the fandom that sees Mumble's back-and-forth trolling with Rutskarn as this.
