->''"IT'S NOT FEET!" Zach being a filthy liar.''
[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3TjPHEcv_7tuT4eb7dO7KA mikeburnfire]] is an American Website/YouTube creator. He started his channel by making homage videos to other Youtube creators like [[WebOriginal Hello Internet]] and [[LetsPlay Many A True Nerd]], although his content has shifted towards LetsPlay videos exclusively. He's usually joined by his friend [[ItsPronouncedTroPAY Zank]], and together they complain about their service in the US Military, talk about guns, and generally go on angry tirades. They play many different games on their channel, although they are mainly known for their ongoing series on Videogame/FalloutNewVegas and Videogame/MassEffect, which can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3itm4Cj7SBBuRdCKOOdUGyyi4fgdgVkS here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3itm4Cj7SBCuSl81wB6ypaX-_mucvc9Q here]] respectively.

!!Mike's videos provide examples of:

* ActionDuo: Mike and Zach are this in their New Vegas playthrough.
* AlternateUniverse: Mike has created a [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3itm4Cj7SBA2lyntOmluU6vSnsSeq9l0 second playthrough]] for New Vegas in which he is a sadistic frumentarius, while Zach is a gun repairman stuck in the second worst military base on Earth, the Mojave Outpost.
* CowboyCop: Both Garrus and Terrence are this in the Mass Effect run, leading to the rare bad cop/ bad cop interrogation technique.
* NerdyNasalness: Commander Shepard's voice is authoritative and deep, while Terrence Shepard's voice is slimey and creepy.
* RedOniBlueOni: Mike tends to be calm and upbeat, while you'd be hard-pressed to find a single video in which Zach doesn't angrily rave about something.
