History LetsPlay / TheDarkId

-->''I am '''loving''' this shit!''

** In the ''Drakengard 2'' LP, Gismor and Seere each eventually give one to Nowe and Manah for [[NiceJobBreakingItHero destroying the world]] [[TooDumbToLive while trying to "save" it]].
** In the ''Xenogears'' LP, Fei gives one to the Queen of Shevat, describing [[HeadInTheSandManagement her]] (and by extension, Shevat's) [[BystanderSyndrome many]] [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder unhelpful]] [[WhatAnIdiot actions]] after she gives a [[ComplimentBackfire rather lame]] [[DudeWheresMyRespect vote of confidence.]]

** Most notable of all, in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', Verdugo, Salazar's right hand, is re-imagined as Leon's monster half-brother Todd, who convinced Leon to try auditioning for the main character role in the next ''Resident Evil'' game. Leon froze him and threw him off the Golden Gate bridge after walking in on him making out with [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Claire Redfield]], who dated Leon for a while. And Chief Bitores Mendez is a fan of the Green Bay Packers and even wears a Packers cheese hat (thanks to Luis calling him the "big cheese.")
Also the very first Ganado Leon comes across in the game is reimagined as just a normal villager who freaks out on Leon after the latter shot a bunch of birds in his front yard then barged into his home.

* ''[[VideoGame/ShadowHearts Koudelka]] - Shadow Hearts 0'' (Alternate Title: [[StockShticks A thief, a psychic and a priest walk into a bar in Wales.]])

* ''Film/{{Warcraft}}''

* ''Film/MissionImpossible''

* ''Film/{{Blade}}''
* ''Film/{{Halloween1978}}''

* ''Film/ReadyPlayerOne''

* ''Film/{{Goldeneye}}''

* ''Film/GhostRider''

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: In his LP of ''I Am Setsuna'', Id's version of Endir is very reluctant to kill Pengys in the tutorial level. When he discovers a silly-looking Pengy-themed chakram for Setsuna, he's delighted and uses it for the rest of the game.

'''Lucia''': ''Tee hee. Yeah, maybe you and your fists. [[NominalImportance We killed everyone without a character portrait]]. [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Yuri turns into horrible monsters with huge claws]]. [[HeroesPreferSwords Karin and Kurando have swords]]. [[BigBadassWolf Blanca bites out throats]]. [[BlackMagicianGirl Anastasia has powerful magic]]. [[CombatHandFan I have a bladed fan]] like Kitana from Franchise/MortalKombat.''\\

** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'': The eponymous Nemesis is a mutant who thinks he's a {{Blaxploitation}} character who thinks he's a [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} Californian]] [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger governor]] who thinks he's a [[Anime/DragonBallZ Super Saiyan]]. [[spoiler:And then he becomes a freakish amalgamation of all three ([[Series/SesameStreet plus Bert]]) at the end.]] And Nicholai is nigh-on indestructible to the point where when Jill blows up the chopper he's riding out on, Nicholai is instead sent [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries blasting off again]].

** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1'': Chris starts out mildly grumpy, goes through a Yawn-poison-induced acid trip, and later becomes a ManChild after an herbal binge with Rebecca, said medic keeps trying to convince Chris that her adventures with leech-men and trains really happened, Barry ends up with [[RagingStiffie captains-at-attention]] at inopportune times, and [[spoiler:Billy FUCKING Coen is now a ghost who annoys Rebecca and Chris, sexually harasses Jill, takes various shapes, learns how to possess monsters, and eventually takes control of the Tyrant.]]

** ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}}'': Inuart is a loser that Caim only tolerates as a pack mule, Verdelet is an old racist obsessed with whining about doom and destruction (and by the sequel is the ''true'' villain of the game for his [[NiceJobBreakingItHero various fuckups]]), and Caim and Angelus are VitriolicBestBuds For the second game, Nowe is an utter moron who is clueless on just about everything, including things that as a Knight of the Seal he should already know (granted, [[{{Flanderization}} this isn't]] [[IdiotHero that big of a change]] from his ''actual'' portrayal). Eris, Urick, Legna, and even Seere, however, are the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Characters]] (except that Eris is mildly pyromanical and Legna's contempt for humanity is a lot less veiled).

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'': Elma treats Solid Chocobo like a vengefu l beast whose blood lust cannot be sated.

--> '''Id''': Oh boy, Cornelia can become a real girl... and get completely skeeved out by the whole dress-up thing she has going on.

** Near the end of ''VideoGame/IAmSetsuna'', Id gets very upset that [[spoiler:the Time Judge brings Reaper/Fides back to life.]]

'''Mei Ling''': That's enough you two. Rated E. For 'Everyone'! Enough of the colorful language!

** Late in FFX as the Fahrenheit passes by Sin at Zanarkand, Brother, in Al Bhed, blatantly mentions it. You'd fudge yourself too if you flew by the local EldritchAbomination.

* ChildHater: Cavia is presented as this, due to their propensity towards children dying violent deaths in their games, from Arioch being a [[EatsBabies Baby Eater]], Caim chopping down ChildSoldiers, and [[spoiler:Nier cutting down baby Shades and the game's equivalent of [[WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant Hogarth and the Iron Giant]]]]. Add Leonard's pedophilia and...

---> '''Id''': You can only carry one FUCKING stone at a FUCKING time. At no other time in the FUCKING game do they pull any sort of FUCKING inventory restriction malarkey. In fact, Alyssa is currently carrying eight FUCKING bottles of Lavender water, four FUCKING Sigil stones, three FUCKING invisibility bands, and enough FUCKING arrows to break FUCKING [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Legolas]]' FUCKING gay elf back! To make no mention that you can still easily be carrying the huge ass compass thing from earlier. '''BUT ONLY ONE FUCKING STONE AT A TIME!'''

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* CutAndPasteEnvironments: In ''Shadow Hearts Covenenant'', compared to some of the dungeons he's had to do over the game which are the same reused assets over and over, he's impressed by the [[HauntedMansion Doll House]].
-->'''Id:''' Who laid out this mansion? Who puts couches and other furniture at that kind of angles? It's like your dead grandpa's fucked up bed placement at the beginning of ''VideoGame/StardewValley'' up in here. This place was destined to be cursed. By the way, mentioning the earlier amount of detail this place gets? All those boarded-up windows have animated wind knocking around the crudely nailed in boards and they've not repeated windows either. A bizarre amount of craft put into this place after the copypasta hellholes the last few bonus dungeon sessions have put forward.

** He points out that the names "[[VideoGame/DirgeOfCerberus Nero the Sable", "Rosso the Crimson", and "Azul the Cerulean"]] mean "Black the Black", "Red the Red", and "Blue the Blue" respectively. "Weiss the Immaculate" could be taken to reference purity, which is usually represented by the colour white, but not one to be outdone, TDI names him "White the Clean" amongst others.
* DeusExMachina: Literally in the ''[=REmake=]'' LP. [[spoiler:Since the RE canon states that both Barry and Rebecca survive, but in-game you can ''only'' save one or the other, Rebecca's death triggers the appearance of a literal living deus ex machina that rewrites reality to ensure her survival.]]

--> '''Id''': Our hero resides in the quaint idyllic fishing village of Arni. Despite being a remote, harmless berg full of peaceful folk living simple lives alongside Serge, shockingly enough nothing bad ever happens to Arni. Really. It's never razed to the ground by an evil empire, its citizens are never butchered by raiding hordes of monsters, and Serge is never even exiled from the place. It just remains a chill little town. I know, it's bananas!

*** There's also the General in the Calf-Carver weapon story who spends three years stuck in a HellholePrison because of a [[EvilIsPetty jealous king]]. The general had [[AnArmAndALeg cut off his legs]] and made a sword out of the bones which he used to kill the evil king, becoming a noble and just one.

--> '''Glenn''': Really...? I thought you'd complain about it being too much trouble.\\
'''Serge''': Well, it's a pain in my ass, sure. But, I'm not gonna let a buncha kids friggin' burn to death in a fire. I'm not that much of a jerk. And can we not discuss my ethics right now? Fire!

--> '''Keith''': That is God? ''I thought He would be taller...''

---> '''Rasputin''': Yes... I've heard of you too, Godslayer. ''I would have thought you taller.''

---> '''Nicolai''': This vault is filled to overflowing with the hatred, malice, and despair, of the countless souls who've perished here. What if all that malice were to be suddenly released...?\\
Yuri: Yeah, what if? ''Wait... that's not a proper noun "[[CapitalLettersAreMagic Malice]]" is it...?''\\
Nicolai: ''What if it were?''\\
Yuri: ''Crud.''

* FailureHero: Id considers many of 9S’s actions during the second half of ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'' to be these. [[spoiler: Especially in Ending D when even after killing A2, he impales himself onto her sword, which was formerly 2B’s.]]

--> '''Id''': Jesus CHRIST! This man just handed Yuri the first anime! My dude, throw that into the sea! SAVE CIVILIZATION!!
* FreezeFrameBonus: Some updates have something pop up in a seemingly ordinary picture, usually for such a short period of time that it's possible to completely miss it. Some examples include [[https://lparchive.org/Resident-Evil-1/Update%209/ Resident Evil 1 when Chris finds the broken shotgun]] [[spoiler: only for a mysterious force to repair it for him]] or in [[https://lparchive.org/Shadow-Hearts-(by-The-Dark-Id)/Update%2075/ Shadow Hearts when the group discusses]] [[spoiler: removing Alice's curse, Atman appears on the world map.]]

--> '''Weasel''': Sheesh. Don't you get enough sob story monologues from the people you kill? What's with you anyway? You always leave the people you fight with enough juice to verbalize a damn novella before they croak. You need to get with the program, guy. [[DoubleTap Two in the chest. One in the head.]] Ain't nobody weeping about how mermen raped their mother or their puppy was run over by an American diplomat as a child they were cursed by Poseidon when they get a good old fashion Mozambique Drill.

* ''Film/SuperMarioBros''

--> '''Id''': I'm just picturing a ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' style hyper violent town [[KillEmAll massacre]] of the villagers by mascot character penguins, cutesy beach ball seals, and derpy walruses. Someone with some art talent get on illustrating that.

** In ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'', 9S gets this when he decides to [[KillEmAll murder everyone in Pascal's Village]], getting Ending N.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Although ''Drakengard 2'' is LighterAndSofter than its predecessor, the LP's humor is far more scathing and ranting than previous [=LPs=], mainly due to Id's utter ''fury'' at the sheer IdiotPlot.

* RunningGag:
** Random interludes made in ''VideoGame/GarrysMod''.
** Often, if a major game character can be renamed, Id names him or her "Dongs", before reverting to the canonical name.
** When confronted with foreshadowing of various subtlety: "I’m sure it’ll never become relevant in the future."
** Plenty in the ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' LP:
*** Citan Uzuki being a [[JerkAss dick]] who ducks out of boss fights, as well as explaining how he knows various things or how to perform/operate outlandish stuff as having [[OmnidisciplinaryScientist learnt them in medical school]].
*** Fei forgetting Billy's name.
*** Everyone thinking Fei's name is just a really bad alias (see NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast above).
*** Comparing Rico to [[Franchise/StreetFighter Blanka]].
*** Characters (usually Elly and/or Bart) [[PassThePopcorn bringing sandwiches]] when there is a long cutscene.
*** Grahf adding the word '''[[EvilIsHammy POWER!!]]''' into his speeches at every opportunity.
*** Fei's confidence that the next plot point can be cleared up with a good [[TournamentArc fighting tournament]].
** In ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'':
*** Kid constantly accusing Leena of being a sex-crazed country girl with low morals. It's a minor example since Kid disappears for a considerable portion of the game, but it's almost heartwarming when it comes back.
*** His utter disdain for certain characters, in particular Poshul, Korcha, and Steve[[note]]Turnip[[/note]].
*** Lynx temporarily doing CSI sunglasses one liners.
*** Serge/Lynx reminding [[NoIndoorVoice ZOAH]] to "use his indoor voice".
** In his LP of ''VideoGame/DirgeOfCerberus'', he constantly draws attention to the fact Vincent's only real potential love interest who wasn't dead, gone, unavailable, or Yuffie was Shelke... who has the body of a nine year old...
** Not appearing in the next update of ''VideoGame/ClockTower3'': a clock tower. Named at one point as [[OverusedRunningGag "a running gag I'd be glad to be rid of"]] and then [[RunningGagged eventually killed]] when a clock tower does indeed appear after the halfway point.
** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'': Ada running into and killing very perverted Merchants. Played with a few times, such as when one of them merely offers to sell her weapons, simple as... only to get a bowgun bolt to the face when commenting on Ada's "black panties" afterwards, and again when Ada encounters the last Merchant and readies her gun. He resignedly tells her to GetItOverWith... and she just throws an egg in his face, which he thanks her for.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' has Tidus constantly asking "Is X is even a thing in Spira?" after mentioning something inspired by technology that probably isn't present in developmentally-stunted Spira (things like notepads, pizzas, ''Franchise/StarWars''...).
** ''VideoGame/The3rdBirthday'' has "refreshing vulnerability" during any moments when the former badass DeadpanSnarker queen Aya Brea's {{Chickification}} rears its ugly head. The phrase itself is taken from a blurb from one of Aya's many uncharacteristically {{Stripperiffic}} alternate costumes. Specifically, the Swimwear costume.
** ''[[VideoGame/ShadowHearts Koudelka]]'': Frequently implying that the horrors occurring in the game are more or less just a part of regular life in Wales.
** In ''Shadow Hearts Covenant,'' Yuri making references to his previous adventures with no context which confuses Karin to no end. He also has no head for geography, unaware of what or where countries are.

** In ''Final Fantasy X'', Id gets to this after finally getting everyone's last InfinityPlusOneSword and dealing with all the {{Bonus Boss}}es he's willing to put up with.

** This sentence happens in describing how [[BonusBoss Solomon]] is defeated.

** Happens again before the BonusBoss fight with Orobas where its... [[FreudWasRight stinger]] has [[EyesDoNotBelongThere an eye]].

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: In his LP of ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'', while there is dialogue depending on who you take to face Emil for the BonusBoss battle against him in the desert, he uses 9S since he feels he had the most interaction with him than 2B or A2.

* TheyFightCrime: How he pitches the idea of Mikhail wearing the Experimental Weapon Headgear, which is pretty much Emil's head.

* ''Film/{{Armageddon}}''

-> '''Id:''' ''Silent Hill'' is that guy that peaked playing high school football and will still brag about his glory days from 20 years ago as he went on to be a day manager at a Denny's .... Sir, the last two items on your résumé are a Playstation Vita [[VideoGame/SilentHillBookOfMemories loot game]] and we tried to call this "P.T." you have listed and the number has been disconnected for four years. When was the last time you were employed...?

* RageQuit: During his Twitch stream of ''Drakengard,'' he talked about how when he played Drakengard 3, he got so pissed at the KaizoTrap at the end of Route D that he threw the controller so hard he broke it.

-->'''Id:''' "It would appear Nier is going with the old tried and true method of magically punching the shit out of monsters. Hey, it worked pretty well last time with Hook, no? Maybe he can just avoid quite as much collateral damage as what happened to The Aerie. Dark Hand goes long and high for the hit and... (Dark Hand [[AnArmAndALeg rips off Jack's left arm]]) FAKEOUT! Nier decides to just latch on to a limb and tear off the damn thing at the last moment. He's gonna feel that one in the mo- (Jack [[HealingFactor grows it right back]]) -ing..? Huh. Well, that is uhh... Well, Nier sums up my thoughts pretty well."
-->'''Nier:''' "That...that ain't good."

-->'''Id:''' I refuse the Chadley. A despicable creature.

--> '''Id:''' Hey, remember when ''Final Fantasy X'' had a plot and wasn't an eternal spiral of poorly designed mini-games and tedious diversions? Maybe we ought to get back to that sometime... It's a good thing Sin has waited patiently out at sea for the party to get their shit together and progress with the plot. It wouldn't look too great if the protagonists allowed a village or two to get razed while they were out catching butterflies and watching home movies.

-->'''Raiden:''' ''Hien! Look! They finally showed up!''\\

--> '''Bahamut:''' ''[[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner ...Trogdor]]? Really?''\\

--->'''Id:''': James Bond did you really have to kill the villain of Tomorrow Never Dies by forcing him into an [[ThisIsADrill industrial drill]]?

** ''Final Fantasy X'' has Yuna giving Tidus a good catch-up on what's happened since the events of FFX-2. Especially since Id has made it clear he's NEVER doing a Let's Play on that game.

* WretchedHive: Id's LPs of ''Koudelka'' and ''Shadow Hearts'' paint the country of Wales as a bleak hellscape. InUniverse, it's probably why the boss Mammon, a botched resurrection from the Emigré Manuscript, has less HP than Elaine in the previous game because one was done in Wales. [[note]]For comparison, Mammon has 3500 HP while Elaine has 22,800.[[/note]]

->'''Yuri:''' First, you take the Émigré Manuscript and then you take Nicolai.\\

* ''Videogame/{{Tenchu}} 3: Wrath of Heaven''

** ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'': Serge [[HeroicMime has a voice]], and is the OnlySaneMan in a world where everyone else's traits are [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized.]] [[NoIndoorVoice ZOAH]] becomes his CaptainObvious [[TheLancer wing-man]].

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In March 2021, a deepfake app called Wombo came around that allowed people to make people people sing all sorts of songs. It was only a matter of time until someone [[https://twitter.com/TheDarkId/status/1369816393638686720 combined]] Benjamin Spooner Briggs with [[VideoGame/{{Yakuza}} Bakamitai]].

* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: In ''The 3rd Birthday'', Id points out how Club Sacrifice is so much bigger than any nightclub in New York City ought to be to the point it's taking up at least two city blocks. One example is that the fire escape is so big that he could do a three point turn with a car on just the landing.

* {{Bowdlerize}}[=/=]GoshDarnitToHeck: Parodied in this exchange in the ''Ghost Babel'' LP:

'''[=McBride=]''': It doesn't take CIA Intel in your case. It's written all over your face. [[Film/{{Scarface 1983}} Where'd you get the beauty scar, tough guy? Eatin']] [[spoiler:pussy]] pineapples.\\

** During an endgame sidequest in FFX, he tells a kid to get away from giant flowers.

--> '''Yuri:''' "[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You can't be serious]]... [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Not in such a pure, clean mega-hit RPG as this]]!"\\

--> '''Id:''' Make another fucking ''Onimusha'', Capcom. You cowards! ''VideoGame/{{Nioh}}'' isn't the same. I want it to be stupid. I want Creator/JeanReno.

* DeusExMachina: Literally in the [=REmake=] LP. [[spoiler:Since the RE canon states that both Barry and Rebecca survive, but in-game you can ''only'' save one or the other, Rebecca's death triggers the appearance of a literal living deus ex machina that rewrites reality to ensure her survival.]]
** Happens again in FFX when Rikku pulls out a flashbang during the wedding scene despite never having done so anywhere else in the game or ever again.

** Id had this [[https://twitter.com/TheDarkId/status/1060977089682292736 Tweet]] about VideoGame/TheQuietMan.
---> '''Id''': How is The Quiet Man a real game that exists and SO MUCH WORSE with audio!?

-> '''Id:''' Silent Hill is that guy that peaked playing high school football and will still brag about his glory days from 20 years ago as he went on to be a day manager at a Denny's .... Sir, the last two items on your résumé are a Playstation Vita [[VideoGame/SilentHillBookOfMemories loot game]] and we tried to call this "P.T." you have listed and the number has been disconnected for four years. When was the last time you were employed...?

* HereWeGoAgain: He has this reaction with the final boss of ''Drakengard 3''. [[spoiler:Especially since it's a rhythm game like Drakengard 1's final boss was.]]

* HurricaneOfPuns: Fires off one in his [=REmake=] LP:

** An excerpt from the FFX LP, while discussing the rules for suggesting new names for Shiva:

* LetMeGetThisStraight: For the FFX LP, Id lists all the bulletin points about what's wrong with Operation Mi'ihen before it even starts.

--> '''Ishimura:''' "So the lab has been destroyed, Hojo has been killed and Kato has gone missing, chasing after a monster..."\\

* MadeOfIron: The moment Id finds out [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Nicholai Ginovaef]] survived being blown up in a gas station, he ends up joking about his almost ridiculous unexplained survival in this way after his second meeting with Jill in a shack (which also helps explain how he would survive to write a file in [[VideoGame/ResidentEvilGunSurvivor Survivor]]).

---> '''Id''': Yep. I'm totally going to do the entire Shadow Hearts series right after I LP Parasite Eve 1 and 2. Or maybe the rest of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII? Or perhaps Clock Tower 1 and 2...? I haven't decided yet...\\

--> '''Karin:''' What's that mountain...?\\

-->'''Yuri:''' ''Oh, geez. [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness I forgot they used to be able to show tons of blood in the previous adventure]]. ...One day I'll remember how I managed to reattach my severed arm. That seems handy... Ugh. I'm glad nobody is around to hear me make an accidental pun.''

--> '''Kawashima:''' You'll know when you get there. But believe me, that person will be able to help you on your search.\\

** Happens again before the BonusBoss fight with Orobas where its'... [[FreudWasRight stinger]] has [[EyesDoNotBelongThere an eye]].
--> '''Id:''' Yep... Yep, that sure is a dick with an eyeball growing out of it... That sure is exactly what we're all looking at right now in ''Shadow Hearts: Covenant'' for the Sony [=PlayStation=] 2 home video game entertainment console. Yep.

--> '''Kato:''' Don't you want to see [[TheLostLenore Alice]] again?\\

** Not appearing in the next update of ''VideoGame/ClockTower3'': a clock tower. Named at one point as [[OverusedRunningGag "a running gag I'd be glad to be rid of" and then
[[RunningGagged eventually killed]] when a clock tower does indeed appear after the halfway point.

** ''Resident Evil [=REmake=]'': "Paint It Black" by Music/TheRollingStones.

* ''WesternAnimation/DoubleDragon''
* ''Film/DoubleDragon'' (film)

** ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'': Fei and everybody else become far more sarcastic, and Citan is quite happily [[JerkSue the biggest dick on the planet.]] Also, every outlandish thing he does, he learned in medical school.

* SignatureHat: [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Señor X]]'s sombrero, which he spends the whole LP looking for after Leon's first encounter with him ends with Leon trying it on, not liking how it looks, and tossing it out a window. Later on he gets a second sombrero within the underground lab, and when he becomes the Super Tyrant, he gains a sombrero ''made of fire''.

** In the opening post for an LP of ''[[VideoGame/ShadowHearts Koudelka]]'', after making mention of the greater ''Shadow Hearts'' series, one of the fake questions asks if this means he's going to LP the entire series. His response indicates that he's quite tired of people suggesting he has to LP an entire series:

* NiceHat: [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Señor X's sombrero]], which he spends the whole LP looking for thanks to Leon trying it on, not liking how it looks, and tossing it out a window after the first encounter.
** And later on he gets a second sombrero within the underground lab and when Señor X becomes the Super Tyrant, he gains a sombrero ''made of fire''.
** [[VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica Nosferatu]]/[[spoiler:Alexander Ashford]] dons a nice top hat upon freeing himself from the basement of the Antarctica base.

--> '''Id''': "The other side of the door is enveloped in total silence." If we try to return to the mansion, this is the ominous message we receive. Boy... we're sure gonna run into a bunch of dead orphans, huh? Geez, you title one LP "In Which a 12 Year Old Takes a Sledgehammer to the Face" and suddenly there's a bunch of dead kids in everything you touch that point forward. That seems entirely unfair.

* PressHat: While playing ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3'', he makes fun of the AntiquatedLinguistics by assuming the reporter wore a hat with his press credentials.

** Not appearing in the next update of ''VideoGame/ClockTower3'': a clock tower. [[RunningGagged Eventually killed]] when a clock tower does indeed appear much later on.
** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'': Ada running into and killing very perverted Merchants. Played with a few times when one of them merely offers to sell her weapons, simple as... only to get a bowgun bolt to the face when commenting on Ada's "black panties" afterwards. Finally played with when Ada encounters the last Merchant and readies her gun. He resignedly tells her to GetItOverWith... and she just throws an egg in his face. He thanks her for it.

* ScrappyMechanic: [[invoked]] The box puzzle in ''VideoGame/MetalGearGhostBabel'' damn near drove him into a frothing rage.

* ShowWithinAShow: His treatment of ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilGunSurvivor Resident Evil: Survivor]]'' with a dash of {{MST}} in the middle of his ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica Code Veronica]]'' LP. While their cargo plane is being controlled remotely by Alfred/Alfrexia, a bored Claire and Steve discover it gets cable and Claire spies the title screen to Survivor as Steve flicks through channels. Cue the short playthrough...
