* The Frank West who appears [[HesJustHiding and perishes]] in the non-DLC ending of ''VideoGame/DeadRising4'' is, in fact, Frank West's boring cousin Marlon - hence why he has a [[YouDontLookLikeYou different face]] and a [[TheOtherDarrin different voice]], and has gone from lovable and charming to a desperate [[Film/TheEvilDead Ash Williams]] {{Expy}}.

* His first instance of this is [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/502-Tomb-Raider-Underworld reviewing]] ''VideoGame/TombRaiderUnderworld'', where he portrays Lara as an irreverent, iconoclastic kleptomaniac. Later reviews add "sociopath" to the tally, and he theorizes that Lara is actually a hedonistic thrill-seeker with a murder fetish who only got into the "archaeology" business because it provided the best opportunities for travel, death-defying stunts, and, well, murder.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* ''WebVideo/JudgingByTheCover'' takes this UpToEleven, as it's based solely on trying to extrapolate details about plot and character from still publicity images. In the very first episode, he concluded that the protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' was "a Victorian goth carpenter" who builds weapons from chair legs and nails, and strongly suspected them to be the all-consuming shadow mentioned on the back of the box. He's also claimed that the [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Robot Masters]] (and God himself) are trying to fist Megaman, VideoGame/{{Ico}} has a "[[GagPenis three-foot todger]]", and the cover of "[[Film/HitmanAgent47 Hitman: Agent At]]" depicts the invasion of the MirrorUniverse.
