* {{Badass}}: In ''VideoGame/TroubleInTerroristTown'', Tom is downright lethal.



* {{Badass}}: Pyrion made his debut in Civ by giving Lewis and the others a run for their money, so much so that they immediately forgot about Lewis and teamed up against him! Lewis was the one who won but only because he extended his trickery to the other players so that they ganged up on Pyrion first, destroying him first. Lewis only managed to get up to a significant level and destroy the others only when Pyrion was gone.



* {{Badass}}: Is one of the more skilled members of the Yogscast.



* {{Badass}}: However much of a nutcase he may be, he nearly killed Duncan in his attack on their base, not considering that he pulled off the assault ''by himself'' and succeeded.

* CruelPlayerCharacterGod: In the Sims. Two words: Baby cave.
* DoNotGoGentle: Of a sort. When it became apparent he was going to lose in his playthrough of XCOM: Enemy Within, he decided to [[StormingTheCastle attack the EXALT base]] using his few remaining squaddies. It goes as well as one would expect.
* GeneralFailure: His XCOM playthrough is both marvellous and painful to behold.
* GivingTheSwordToANoob: One XCOM video has him give his only psi-armor, an armor that increases a psionic soldier's abilities as well as being the only armor capable of moving the plot to the final mission, to Brain Shooter, a low level sniper with only a basic Psi-attack, as opposed to [[ColonelBadass Dom]][[ActionSurvivor on8]], a fully specialized psionic Col. Heavy. Overlaps with GeneralFailure, as he had no idea what caused the game to progress.

* NaiveNewcomer: Joins Kim in being one of the last Yogscast members to join the Yogcraft server, although he has played it somewhat more regularly than she did, and so isn't ''entirely'' lost.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: In ''Voltz'', he used ''two'' missiles to attack Lewis and co, leaving a gap between the two to force them to spend longer repairing. Then he promptly ripped them to shreds with a ray gun, and when they tried entering his base, after dealing with the sheer amount of auto-turrets, they triggered a booby trap designed to destroy his base, deny them anything valuable and take them down in the process. It didn't ''quite'' work owing to pure luck, but it's still brilliantly executed.

* GenreSavvy: Their plan being as dangerous as it was, they make sure to guard the door with something strong and TooDumbToFool. They didn't take into account the [[spoiler:Soul Absorber mod]], though.



* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: In Flux Buddies #107, he kidnaps Tiddles and holds both him and a Penguin that Kim bonded to as hostages, both as leverage so he can ask where Kim's clone is as well as prevent them from killing him during his attack.



* GenreSavvy: During his second direct confrontation with Sjin [[spoiler:in the Twilight Forest]], he camps at the portal to stop him escaping another way and starts shooting him the second he sees him.
