*'Ship of Fools' and 'The Turn About': Another awesome moment for Brian, and one of the few times B.A. succeeds against the rest of the Knights.
**In 'Ship of Fools', B.A. runs a campaign of SpaceHack, which ticks off the Knights (except Sara) since they wanted to play HackMaster. During the game, they come into possession of a derelict spaceship. Whilst repairing it, Brian discovers that the ship has a Holodeck. The result? Brian repairs and reprograms the Holodeck to play Hackmaster, meaning their SpaceHack characters are playing their Hackmaster Campaign- which is what they (the Knights) wanted to play in the first place.

--> '''Dave:''' Vac Suits?! You mean leave the Ship?! Are you nuts?!
--> '''Sara:''' I still say we try to crash the computer again.
--> '''Brain:''' What have I done? '''I've created the Ultimate Monster!'''
--> '''B.A. (thinking):''' ''Payback is sweet!''

** The challenge in question involved an expensive opal and goblet, placed on a stand in the middle of a large square rug.

** At one point, Brian plays a Spaceship racing/fighting game with the Black Hands (think [[WackyRaces Wacky Races]], but in space and with guns instead of gadgets). The other players have built themselves varying types of ships (for example Gordo has gone for a pure speedster). Brian, we soon find, thanks to the rules plus trading ship pieces with other players, has bought a BFG called the Death's Head Turret, the computers needed to use it, a lot of shielding, and a load of generators to power both the gun and the shields. He's essentially built a mini [[StarWars Death Star]], and plans to win by being the [[LastManStanding the last Ship on the board.]]
