* AndYouThoughtItWasAGame: Harper reveals to the ''Sentries'' fans that he keeps track of the game's high scores as a recruitment tool for new Sentries to serve under him. But it's also subverted in that he's ''also'' lying about the game's elaborate mythology being real as an excuse to use them as his personal hit-squad.

* ComicallySmallDemand: All Eldon Micheals wanted was to be paid for the work he did for Harper. Which only came to about 20% of the profits. He was even willing to settle for 15%. However, it wasn't about the money for Harper. Paying Michaels for his work would mean revealing that he himself did not fully create the game as his fans believed and the near godlike worship he received from them would disappear.

* {{Geek}}: Corey and the other ''Sentries'' fanboys. Eldon Michaels as well. Simon Harper implicitly counts, since once he was super-rich he used his money to build the game's gadgets in real life and set himself up as some kind of nerd messiah.

* {{Irony}}: Eldon Michaels may be the brains and the creativity behind "Sentries of the Last Cosmos", but at least he's CloserToEarth when compared to Simon Harper (who stole his work) when he develops a [[AGodIAm God Complex]] trying to be "the Wise One" to his followers.
