* DearNegativeReader: In Ross's follow up episode regarding ''VideoGame/TestDrive III'', he got very annoyed by his fans for several reasons. First, people accused him of not playing enough of the game since he didn't mention the hidden [[Franchise/StarWars X-Wing]] landing and taking off. Ross points out that he didn't know about it because it was in the ''Cape Cod'' expansion pack, which he mentioned that he did not have in his original review. Next, Ross brings up how people were calling him an idiot for complaining about the steering, and that he should have used a steering wheel, while also pointing out to him that he was running the game too fast. Ross responds by wondering [[DamnedByFaintPraise how everyone suddenly became an expert at the game, and wonders how the game got so popular all of a sudden]]. He also points that he ''already'' talked about the game's fast speed in his review, and he did that for the sake of not boring the audience with an extremely slow game. Further slamming the game's steering, Ross goes on to say that the steering sucks no matter how fast or slow the game runs, and that the [=YouTube=] reviewer that people brought up to prove Ross wrong, Clint Basinger of ''WebVideo/LazyGameReviews'', only mentioned the game speed issue, but never praised or criticized the steering at all. Not only does Ross accuse people of [[PraisingShowsYouDontWatch defending a game they probably have never played]], he goes the extra mile: he got himself a steering wheel, and recorded himself in front of a camera playing the game with it, showing that the steering was awful even ''with'' one. Ross spent ''7 minutes'' on the rant and wheel experiment alone to prove that he was not wrong. To top it off, in the comment section, Clint actually commented his own bafflement that they gave him grief, since he agrees: yes, the steering sucks.

He even lampshades this in his next videochat, where he tells newcomers that said video is an exception to his normal content (barring his sparsely uploaded "Dead Games News" series).

* DoingItForTheArt: All the games Ross covers isn't for money or personal fame (he's actually stated he has no intention of getting a Patreon account). He does it to show games he either really likes, had some good ideas, or just needs some more exposure. Even if a game is terrible and/or has glitches, Ross will suffer through it for the fans so that they can see the game for what it is. Or at least he does most of the time. [[VideoGame/{{Revenant}} Some games]] are too much even for him.

* ScheduleSlip: In 2018 Ross suffered a mold infestation in his apartment that was severe enough to halt all video production. By the time he was able to get his situation somewhat stable, he had to skip the intended next episode of the series and focus on the 4th of July episode, which was itself 3 days late. Later that year, he released a couple of "Halloween Samplers" featuring a bevy of smaller horror games, meant to lead up to a larger Halloween episode. However, the second of these samplers was released on Halloween itself, and one of the games meant to be featured was expanded into a full episode a few days later.

* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: Many of the things Ross brings up as inconsistencies or flaws in the plot of ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'' are actually explored later in the complete game, but Ross doesn't realize this because he gave up before the end of the first chapter.

* ColbertBump: A number of games have been rescued from utter obscurity (to a state of merely severe obscurity), if not total oblivion, by Ross drawing attention to them through this show, not to mention in some cases providing links to free versions of the games. The most extreme is ''Bip Bop III'', in which Ross tracked down the creator, got an original floppy of the full game, managed to extract it using an outdated but still functioning computer, and released it for free with the creator's permission, thus saving it from certain doom. There was also an UpdatedRerelease of ''VideoGame/{{Strife}}'' successfully crowdfunded not long after Ross's review, but that might have been a coincidence.
