History Podcast / TopDownPerspective

* CollectorOfTheStrange: The three often talk about Toy/{{amiibo}} collecting and trying to track down amiibos, especially when new waves are released. Jon in particular quests to acquire eight Captain Falcons.

* GushingAboutShowsYouLike: [[InUniverse When all three hosts like a game]], you can bet they'll go on at length about it. Three games in particular they've loved to highlight are ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'', ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'', and ''VideoGame/RustysRealDealBaseball''.

Top Down Perspective is a video game podcast hosted by Sean Booker, a game journalist (his reviews can be found [[http://www.comicbookbin.com/games.html here]]); Paul "Exfauxsure" Fleck, who cohosts this podcast along with others (most of which is [[http://podcast.burningbarrel.co/ here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/XFS1000/featured here]]); and Jonathan "ProtonJon" Wheeler, a [=YouTuber=] who makes LetsPlay videos and streams regularly, discuss what they've played that week, and current gaming news.

* AccentuateTheNegative: If someone hates a game, you can bet they're always going to either have a snide comment ready about it right away or go off on an eviscerating rant about it. Jon's favorite target is ''VideoGame/YoshisNewIsland'', while Sean takes any opportunity to put down ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' and ''VideoGame/CodeName:S.T.E.A.M.''

** TheKirk (Realist): In a potentially surprising contrast to his solo videos, TheRunawayGuys, and other places he shows in video and.or audio form, Jon is often the one who ends up having a different opinion in between, and having the other 2 agree with him, though again, all 3 have done this on occasion.

* PowerTrio: Like any other gaming trio (especially TheRunawayGuys, which Jon is also in.), though significantly Main/DownPlayed, as elements of other trios sometimes sneak in. Don't expect anything but a calm atmosphere most of the time.

**Allan Schumacher of BioWare was a guest host when Jon had his wisdom teeth removed.

**Hank "[=Iam3DHomer=]," a speedrunner, who regularly co-hosts with Paul on their own podcast, Burning Barrel, when Sean was away in Europe.

Together, the 3 are not afraid to have a lengthy discussion about certain things that bug them, and often they might even talk non-gaming things, usually at the beginning of the podcast, in general, you get a glimpse of the lives of these people.

* MemeticMutation: The following are ubiquitous in the community and just as ubiquitous to the hosts, thus, these are not that YMMV, however, any future upcoming meme possibilities should be in the YMMV tab. (Then they won't come off as a ForcedMeme, the easiest way to kill off your meme.)
** Jon has a gaming museum, the [[LongTitle Jonathan Wheeler Video Game Emporium in Memoriam of Sean Booker's PS3: No Charity Would Take This]]. Its prized exhibit is three Wii Mini consoles.
** Sean's PS3, due to an offhand comment he made about it not being with him, is dead. Every podcast you must pay respects to it by pressing F. Some people even take this a step further and address him as Sean "F" Booker when sending in questions specifically for him.

What exactly separates one Main/PodCast from another? Good question, obviously, what makes a podcast is really just what people are in it, and what chemistry they end up having. And this one definitely has easy-going people just talking about what they love and sharing it with whoever will listen.

And so your 3 hosts, Sean Booker, a games reviewer (find his reviews [[http://www.comicbookbin.com/games.html here]]); Paul "Exfauxsure" Fleck, who does this podcast and his own as well as some other things (most of which is [[http://podcast.burningbarrel.co/ here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/XFS1000/featured here]]), though admittedly, we don't know everything about him...yet; and Jonathan "ProtonJon" Wheeler, a [=YouTuber=] who makes LetsPlay videos and streams video games regularly, discuss what games they have played this week, and any significant gaming news.

* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Featuring your 3 hosts.....[[AudienceParticipation and the chat if you watch it live]], which like the PowerTrio, doesn't always have them taking permanent roles"
