* ''Takkoman -Kouzatsu World-'' videos describe the boss of the day by using one of the titles of the VideoGame/{{Touhou}} character it is based off of, and all non-preposition words have a P.eriod A.fter T.heir F.irst L.etter. Additionally, the video numbers are spelled out instead of being given in Arab numerals.

* VideoGame/{{Furi}} episodes are named after taunts by the bosses.

* The titles, descriptions, and even video tags for ''VideoGame/TouhouGouyokuIbunSuibotsuShitaChinshuuJigoku'' episodes are all completely in Japanese, with the titles being formatted as "[descriptive title for Reimu[=/=]Marisa] VS [descriptive title for the featured boss]" followed by one exclamation mark for each time raocow dies in the video.

** Additionally, the title of each video in which raocow fights the "boss" of a chapter is a relevant Japanese word or phrase, written primarily in Kanji. For instance, the video in which [[BoomHeadshot Kurahashi and Akiba]] are defeated is titled "脳傷害", meaning "brain injury".

* Starting from video [[ArcNumber seven,]] every ''VideoGame/Killer7'' video is numbered as "7+X", with X being the number of videos since video 7 (video 8 is numbered "7+1", video 9 is numbered "7+2", etc.). After video fourteen, the videos are numbered "7+7+X".

* The Second Reality Project Reloaded gets a different nickname each episode of its LP, [[ElectricBoogaloo usually one that makes it look like a movie sequel]].

** ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry3DixieKongsDoubleTrouble'' episode titles are references to [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Kuma]]'s ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'' moveset. %% This gimmick was so idiosyncratic that raocow had to explain it in the relevant Talkhaus thread.

** ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64'' videos are named after PlotCoupons, upgrades, etc. that raocow obtains in each video.

* ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' uses the titles of video games published by Creator/{{Capcom}}.
