* TheManyDeathsOfYou: What this book lacks in logical reasoning, it made up with the sheer number of colourful death sequences for your character, from getting vaporized by a megaton bomb, dissolved by a BlobMonster, blasted into oblivion by lighting strike, hitting a pylon with a splat, getting nuked, drowned in molten radiation... too bad most of these deaths are written in [[DroppedABridgeOnHim one-sentence paragraphs]].

* WhipItGood: A Mutanoid attacks you while armed with a whip, and you might get into a fight with an Electronic Attack Whip.

* ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest: At one point, you encounter Sam, one of L'Bastin's first creations. If you help him, he rewards you with a "fabulous power-jewel" which turns out to be [[spoiler:rock salt. It's a required item to defeat the Prefectas; they rebelled because L'Bastin added too much salt to their mixture, and adding even more would cause infighting, resulting in them killing off one another.]]
