History Recap / SouthParkS10E8MakeLoveNotWarcraft

* TemporaryBulkChange: While marathon LevelGrinding, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny all become as fat as Cartman originally was, while Cartman himself ends up looking like Jabba the Hutt.

* GivingTheSwordToANoob: TropeNamer, when the Blizzard execs are left with no option but to give the sword to Randy. He's only level 2 and has to be told how to give it to Stan.

-->'''Blizzard president:''' Whoever this player is, he has played World of Warcraft nearly every hour of every day for the past year and a half. Gentlemen, we are dealing with someone here who...has absolutely no life.\\
'''Board member:''' How do you kill...that which has no life?\\

* SquashedFlat: A non-comedic example. After Stan's destroyed the griefer's shields and mana, and Kyle and Kenny have knocked him down, Cartman brings his warhammer down right on the griefer's head, crushing it to a pulp.

* YouKilledMyFather:...'s character in the game. Stan then strikes with the Sword of a Thousand Truths, sealing the Griefer's defeat.

* DropTheHammer: Cartman's dwarf character wields a large warhammer. He uses it to finally kill the griefer after the other boys have weakened him.

* ShoutOut: Butters plays ''Franchise/HelloKitty: Island Adventure'' (not a real game).
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDvMkUHboFY And now it is.]]

* BathroomControl: Cartman feels gastrointestinal distress when he and the guys are playing ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''. Stan says he can't leave to use the bathroom now since they're still in a battle, so Cartman demands Liane to bring him a bedpan.

* {{Doppelganger}}: Butters’s character is a perfect replica of Cartman’s, who shoos him away and tells him to make a new one.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: The “Sword of a Thousand Truths”, so powerful that it had to be DummiedOut and stored on a flash drive.

** The TrainingMontage is initially presented this way, with Paul Stanley's "Live to Win" on the soundtrack, and shots including Cartman dramatically knocking back a Rockstar energy drink and wiping his mouth on his sleeve, while Kyle sips from a water bottle Ike is holding for him. All this for a marathon LevelGrinding session involving killing boars at 2 XP apiece.

* TheyKilledKennyAgain: His character is stabbed with a knife in the opening scene. Of course, since it’s just a game he can respawn, but Stan and Kyle still say the famous lines.[[note]]This and the failed ZergRush are the only "death scenes" Kenny gets in Season 10.[[/note]]

** The boys, having TookALevelInBadass, start dropping names of spells, items and talents in conversation. Knowledgeable players will notice that the way they're used doesn't always make much sense (such as opening with Intimidating Shout, an area crowd control ability that breaks on damage, against a single opponent).

'''[[DirtyKid Kenny]]:''' I think Kyle has fake titties! ''[laughs]''\\

* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: When Cartman first proposes the LevelGrinding plan of killing boars in the Elwynn Forest, Kyle points out that they're only worth 2 XP apiece, and asks, "Do you know how many hours we would need to kill to get up thirty levels!?" He clearly doesn't expect an answer to this question -- however...

* PottyEmergency: Seventeen hours into the FinalBattle Cartman feels the call of nature, but can't step away from the fight. So he radios his mom, drops trou and she catches about half of it in a bedpan.

* DoubleStandard: Implied with Kyle. Kyle is normally seen as the one who rips on Cartman for being obese. However, in this episode, not only does he and his close friends become as obese as Cartman is normally, but he never comments about it.

** This is most likely justified since Kyle probably knew or at least figured out by this point that Cartman's {{Jerkass}} behavior were spawned by his perceived glorification of antisemitism and being a SpoiledBrat rather than his obesity, so Kyle blimping up to the fatass' size wouldn't immediately cause a change in his mindset. [[FridgeBrilliance Plus, Kyle has been around other fat people both before and after this episode, namely his mom and Chef, and most, if not all of them were nowhere near as vicious and condescending to him and his religion as Cartman is]].
