* MonkeysOnATypewriter: Lani explicitly described their LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' like this. The playthrough consists of Lani, Kirran, and Lani's wife[[note]]Plus Taka a couple of times while he was visiting (though they booted him off the controller for actually playing well), and Kaiser once when he and his husband dropped by to visit[[/note]] alternating turns on the controller and [[DrinkingGame taking shots every time they die or kill a unique enemy]]. Besides that, they tended to make decisions based more off of RuleOfFunny than actual game logic, like spending most of the game with their character [[IncrediblyConspicuousDrag wearing a woman's dress and shoes]] -- [[NakedPeopleAreFunny and sometimes just the shoes]] -- rather than anything that provided actual defense. All told, they beat the main game and DLC (but not the Chalice Dungeons) in about 65 hours[[note]]twenty livestream sessions, each 2 to 2 1/2 hours long, plus a little off-screen grinding for healing items[[/note]], managed to get the GoldenEnding despite doubting they would even ''get'' an ending[[note]]they almost missed out on it by arbitrarily killing Arianna and pissing off the Fake Iosefka, but ran away from the latter rather than fighting her, which meant she stayed alive until the proper EventFlag triggered[[/note]], pulled off a few feats that legitimately impressed Grant (the biggest ''Bloodborne'' fan in the group), and, again, did most of it while drinking so much alcohol that more than one session ended with Lani [[WhatDidIDoLastNight passing out on the sofa]].

TFS productions tend to be rather popular, as well as genuinely funny, due to the enormous amount of networking, voice talent and writing acumen that can be focused on any given project. Of course, this can also result in AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder, as all of them have series of their own, in addition to their TFS responsibilities.[[note]]This has led to a misconception in certain parts of the fanbase where, if a series goes on hiatus, they will accuse TFS of focusing on whatever other projects are being released in the interim instead of working on the post-phoned one. In reality, since the speed of all the projects mainly depends on their director/editor, they almost (if never) have any effect on each other's schedules (Example: If DBZA goes on hiatus, it's up to Kaiser to bring it back, and whether or not Takahata is making new episodes of Hellsing Abridged has no real effect on that outcome.)[[/note]]
