* In the middle of playing a VideoGame/SuperMario64 Rom Hack based around WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow,[[MoodWhiplash Vinny went eerily quiet for a little bit]], before asking the question to the chat, [[https://youtu.be/JfkLdOXIHQk?t=1170 if they remember the most heartbreaking moment as a child, when you realized your favorite TV Show has a finite number of episodes]]. He talks about how he slowly experienced it with the aforementioned Super Show, and how he couldn't comprehend why the show he loved just...stopped. What makes it a little bit worse, is that you can tell through his tone, he's actually quite saddened by the memory. Vinny loved the show to this day, even through all the MemeticMutation and thoughts of it being SoBadItsGood. It's rather applicable to how disheartening for one of your favorite watching experiences in Childhood, just ceased.

* [Vinny and Joel losing to Dio in the Vinewrestle 2016 stream. They do get avenged by GPM later, but watching poor Vinny get absolutely beat down as he struggles to even keep himself up and conscious during the fight is painful to say the least.

* In the 'Toad Games' stream, Vinny [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEbQnvTqnwI&t=916s encounters]] an [[HellIsThatNoise Ear Rape]] 'fangame' planted in the collection he was sent, supposedly by 'Zedrin'. His reaction is more that of abject disappointment and horror than anger. It turns out that this 'Zedrin' was an impostor, who aimed to slander the real Zedrin by placing a piece of the latter's {{NSFW}} flash artwork in the third 'Quality Android Games' stream. To say that the rest of the stream was tense was an understatement - even after the real Zedrin personally apologised in the impostor's place and proved he wasn't behind it - as everyone (including Vinny) were hoping anxiously that there wasn't more pornography or ear-splitting noises in the collection.

*** He audibly breaks down [[spoiler:as he reads Sans' dialogue moments before being given the choice to spare him]], genuinely wanting to stop fighting and spare his friend. [[spoiler:Of course, [[ISurrenderSuckers he had no idea it was a trap]].]]
*** Joel was fighting against completely breaking down as he selected the spare option, even through the shock of [[spoiler:getting [[MoodWhiplash dunked]] [[NonStandardGameOver on]]]].

* Crossing with NightmareFuel, Vinny's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWfzVN_LHbw recent playthrough]] of ''VideoGame/Terminal7'', a [=SourceMod=] game made by Vinesauce viewer Nooke. The mod is an extremely elaborate psychological horror game depicting Luigi's descent into madness as his "terminal 7 brain cancer" takes hold, eventually leading to [[spoiler:him discovering that Mario locked himself in his room and committed suicide.]]

** After that, Luigi goes to Princess Peach's castle, which is just a decrepit old house in the middle of nowhere, to discover [[spoiler: her skeleton in a bathtub.]] Even worse, it's heavily implied that Luigi [[spoiler:killed Princess Peach in a fit of rage after Mario told him the truth about his brain cancer, and that's why he's in prison at the beginning of the game.]]
** Vinny's Luigi impression stops being funny by the end and just devolves into depressingly terrifying screaming. [[spoiler: The only remotely funny thing is him declaring that he's going "Terminal 8," but even that sounds less funny and more psychotic.]]
-->'''Luigi''': [[spoiler:"I don't even fucking care anymore. Everything that I've ever loved, it's '''GONE!''' Mario. The princess. Brooklyn. ''I AM MY OWN WORST ENEMY!'' ''Everything is gonna die!'' '''You hear me, Mario?! THIS IS WHAT YOU DO TO ME, MARIOOOOOO!"''']]

* Joel once shared a story from his childhood about a time his mom said she would take him to the supermarket to meet ComicStrip/ThePhantom (part of an advertising partnership being done with supermarkets to promote the [[Film/ThePhantom upcoming film]]). Joel, a huge fan of the Phantom at the time, excitedly agreed to go. He and his mom went there, walked to the Phantom table... and saw a guy whose "costume" consisted of nothing more than a purple shirt. He left the store in tears.

* Even though Rev goes for Yuri's route when playing ''{{VisualNovel/Doki Doki Literature Club}},'' he keeps an eye out for [[{{ChildhoodFriend}} Sayori]] when things start to look bad for her, and even [[{{WhatTheHellHero}} calls out the player character]] [[spoiler: to his insensitive response to hearing Sayori admit that she's had depression all her life.]]
** He also asks the chat mods to regularly post the [[http://ddlc.moe/warning.html trigger list]] for the game, just so people don't feel uncomfortable.

*** Joel practically began weeping as he selected the spare option, and continued to cry, even through the shock of [[spoiler:getting [[MoodWhiplash dunked]] [[NonStandardGameOver on]]]].

** Jen said that when she heard the news, all she could do was cry for a couple of hours. Made worse by the fact that Iwata died from the same type of cancer that killed Jen's mother. [Jen then went on to stream ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' (a game that had notoriously shoddy programming until Iwata cleaned it up, resulting in the game actually becoming playable) in Iwata's memory. During that run she named Jeff 'Iwata' because she believed that, like Jeff, Iwata was a genius.

* During Vinny's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv5JrfDsrdo 11th stream]] of ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon'', he loses Willoughby, the MemeticBadass and a fan favorite bounty hunter of his team during a boss fight going south. Despite managing to kick some serious ass [[HopeSpot right before the boss battle itself]], and dies due to a bleed effect that Vinny couldn't heal. In contrast to most of his party losses where he usually delves into anger (and occasionally {{Angrish}}) over the RNG, he wails out a BigNo and [[HeroicBSOD falls silent as he abandons the quest]].

* Vinny finally beats ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac: Afterbirth+'' in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI7ixWxyWjA the third stream of the DLC]], and finally gets to see the DownerEnding for one of his most streamed games. While he mentioned at the beginning of the stream that his allergies were getting to him, he is still rather solemn and [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness unusually open about his family during this moment, if only a little bit]], and almost sounding like he was on the brink of tears at points. Whether he was trying to hold back an emotional outburst or if it was just the weather getting to him, a lot of viewers expressed concern and understanding.

-->'''Ancestor''': I remember days when the sun shone, and laughter can be heard from the tavern.\\
'''Vinny''': I remember those days when we all used to laugh... This is a [[TearJerker Vine-Sponge moment]]. It's a shame. We lost [[spoiler:Willoughby]].

** This continues during his next ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'' stream (where he beats Hero Mode), as several Miiverse tributes get him kind of sad. ''Then'' he gets to the end of [[https://youtu.be/o9yZSADLcxg?t=7398 the credits]]:
