History Creator / TheAutarch

After seven years of making countdowns lists on Website/YouTube, Alex finally announced his retirement of The Autarch in September 2015. His final countdown ''Top Ten Personal Experiences with Video Games'' was uploaded a few days after the announcement and marked his final work as The Autarch. Despite retiring his countdown videos, he still helps {{Creator/JoshScorcher}} with making his countdown videos, remains active with his fanbase, and currently does voice work, notably for fandubs of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'' (most notably Spamton G. Spamton) and as a lead in the upcoming ''WebAnimation/TheAmazingDigitalCircus''. He has also announced plans to work on a web-series in the future, though no other details have been revealed.

* ActingForTwo: He plays himself alongside [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Hades]] in certain videos, with a conversation in his Top 10 Funniest Video Game Characters list being an entire conversation that notes it's more like he's [[TalkingToThemself talking to himself]].
-->'''Hades''': ''[[RecordNeedleScratch (interrupting the credits music)]]'' Yoo-hoo, Autarch!\\
'''Alex''': Goddammit, Hades, what is it with you and your fascination for interrupting credits?\\
'''Hades''': Oh, but credits sequences are my favorite places to hang out in. They're like bars, you see. If you stick around long enough in them you get to learn new things about all the people who contributed to the fine dirty mess of the evening.\\
'''Alex''': [[SidetrackedByTheAnalogy ...Hades, you're an insult to bars.]]\\
'''Hades''': Oooh, ''some''one's prickly tonight. Though, this can't ''possibly'' get on my nerves. [[{{Troll}} All I have to do is think about how we're voiced by the same person, and how you wrote this dialogue, and how]] [[SelfDeprecation you're basically making fun of yourself,]] [[{{Troll}} and then laugh.]]\\
'''Alex''': [[{{Angrish}} Eh - wh - ]] shut up! You're not supposed to [[BreakingTheFourthWall break the fourth wall like that!]] I am ''not'' insulting myself!\\
'''Hades''': Face it, [[VideoGame/Persona4 you're me, and I am you. I might as well be your persona]]. ''*chuckles evilly*'' How I look forward to the {{fan art}}.\\
'''Alex''': ''[[LampshadeHanging Why am I talking to myself?!]]''

* HoYay: In-universe, during a crossover with Creator/JoshScorcher, Josh asks the Autarch why he hasn't released any actual content for months. Hades replies that it's his fault, and Alex proceeds to... comfort the god of the Underworld. Josh's face afterward really sells this scene.

* LargeHam

* PromotedFanboy: He loves old Rare-style 3D platformers like VideoGame/BanjoKazooie and Donkey Kong 64. He now has a role in a game made in honor of them.
* ScreamingAtSquick: Enjoys making people do this as he likes to come up with dirty [[DoubleEntendre Double Entendres]] in his free time and is hinted at to be [[HoYay romantically involved]] with Hades.
* SelfDeprecation: The first Hades Riffs was on one of his own videos, [[OverlyLongTitle Top Five Games I Hate that Everyone Likes/Top Five Games I Like that Everyone Hates]].
** Seems to be a recurring thing, as he uses clips of this very video when explaining [[TakeThatMe how stupid it is to sell your own opinion as fact.]]

* TalkingToHimself: ...The following comes from the credits of his Top 10 Funniest Video Game Characters list.
--> '''[[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Hades]]''': ''[[RecordNeedleScratch *interrupting the credits music*]]'' Yoo-hoo, Autarch!

* SeasonalRot: Felt that ''Series/TwinPeaks'' went through this in its final seasons.
* ThatOneBoss: [[invoked]] Has an entire list of video game bosses he dislikes but Silver the Hedgehog from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' is the prime example of this trope to him.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: [[invoked]] Part of the reason he loves ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' and ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' so much is how for children's shows they were able to tackle darker themes.

* NiceHat: Starting in his Top Ten Worst Bosses video, Alex wears a grey ski cap.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: [[invoked]] [[spoiler: Finding out that in ''{{VideoGame/Journey}}'' the people on his adventure were actual players all along.]]

* ArtifactTitle: The channel's original name, "peanut3423" was this; it came from when the channel was owned by a group of people (including Alex) who created claymation videos, and the channel name alludes to the first first video, which involved two peanut characters (Alex himself had nothing to do with this video.) Eventually, the claymation project ended, and Alex was left as the sole uploader for the channel, which he soon took in his own direction.

* FakeDifficulty: Discussed in his ''Top 15 Worst Video Game Cliches'' list with Joshscorcher and Chewie. Particularly mentions how the hard difficulties of ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'' and ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' do this by giving enemies more hit points on harder difficulties but with no differences in attack pattern.

He is also set to voice the character of Ghoulloyd and The Boogieman in the indie game ''VideoGame/FionaFrighteningAndTheWickedWardrobe''.

* [[VideoGames/AwesomeBosses Awesome Bosses]]: [[invoked]] Has a list of TWENTY-FIVE bosses from video games that he adores.

* TheScrappy: [[invoked]] Jasper Batt Jr. from ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' is this to him.
