Will has also made his own original series separate from [=DAGames=] called ''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/IRIS IRIS]]'', a dystopian ScienceFantasy story told through three albums of original music: ''Heart of an Artist'' (2018)[[note]](released under the [=DAGames=] label, unlike the rest which are released under the IRIS label)[[/note]], ''Goliath’s Throne'' (2019), and the upcoming ''Dawn of the Dimetrix'' (2021).

** Taken UpToEleven in ''F'', which can be seen from the very first line and continues throughout the entire song.

* DelinquentHair: Will's hair used to commonly be dyed black with a green streak. These days, we has since done back to his natural hair color, which is blonde.

* {{Mondegreen}}: A PetPeeveTrope for Will. Will said that one of the reasons he dislikes fan-made preview videos is that they almost never get the lyrics right. One example in particular that he singled out in one of his videos is a line from the "Brothers in Arms" preview that people always transcribe as "In this cartoon universe, you're all cursed". The actual line is "In this cartoon universe, you're a pest".

Will started off as an animator on {{Website/Newgrounds}}, the Comix series and Reality series being his most notable on the site. After the migration to [=YouTube=], he followed along and has stuck around ever since. Musicwise, Will has been making music for over 11 years now. With a fascination for rock and metal, he and a friend of his started a band known as Onyx Colony. After a couple of years the band split apart and Will began to make music under the alias of W.A.R., his initials. Eventually, he began to make music under the [=DAGames=] name, starting with ''It's Time to Die'', a Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3 song. As for the [[LetsPlay let's plays]], he kicked off his LetsPlay career with VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld.

* HopeSpot: Will gets his hopes up during the TabletopGame/Solitaire Knockout as it seems like he's on his way to victory... then he notices that he has somehow put two red cards together in a tableau (an illegal position that invalidated his current run).

Will has also made his own original series separate from [=DAGames=] called ''Music/IRIS'', a dystopian ScienceFantasy story told through three albums of original music: ''Heart of an Artist'' (2018)[[note]](released under the [=DAGames=] label, unlike the rest which are released under the IRIS label)[[/note]], ''Goliath’s Throne'' (2019), and the upcoming ''Dawn of the Dimetrix'' (2021).

It served as a prequel to the three albums.

-->As much as it looks like I have stuff left for you

* ShoutOut: The ''VideoGame/HelloNeighbor'' song "Get Out" is one to the [[Film/GetOut2017 movie]], given the song came out a couple weeks before the movie. The meaning of the words is the opposite though, the neighbor wants the player to get out and stop snoping in his house, rather than brainwashed slaves coming to their senses and pleading Chris to get out while he still has a chance.
