** Also occurs in his ''Fatty Bear'' review, where he mentions games these days are typically labelled as "violent, mind-numbing, and God knows what else." While he says this, he also uses text to list the arguments, but for the last thing, he uses "delicious."

Ian, otherwise known as [[http://www.youtube.com/user/brutalmoose brutalmoose]] is a video game reviewer on WebSite/YouTube and [[http://hiddenblock.com/ Hidden Block]]. He does reviews mostly of PC titles, though he occasionally does console games too. His style is more relaxed than most of the other comedic video game reviewers on [=YouTube=] with a notably more informative direction, although he does mostly do it for the humor.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Happens in his ''VideoGame/SonicShuffle'' review; he says there was a time when ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' and ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' were cool, before listing off several things such as Sonic's later games and listing them off by saying "that was before that and that and that and that...and ''that''..." ending on [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Elise kissing Sonic]].]]
* ArtificialStupidity: He demonstrates in ''VideoGame/{{Facade}}'' that he was able to get the best ending [[spoiler:by doing nothing except using the word "Yes" the entire time.]]
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: He mentions this several times in ''VideoGame/{{Facade}}'', particularly whenever he tries to end arguments.
-->'''brutalmoose''': I don't want to talk about that [the sculptures].
-->'''Grace''': Oh... So, I just had to have these sculptures.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Happens accidentally in his ''VideoGame/LEGOIsland 2'' review, where during a normal conversation, Valerie Stubbins appears next to Nick Brick. He adds a StaggeredZoom onto her and drowns out everything else.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Prior to ''VideoGame/FattyBear's Birthday Surprise'', brutalmoose never showed up on camera. Also, in his ''really'' early videos, his voice was notably much less enthusiastic.
* LogoJoke: Most of his videos use logos based on the game he is about to play. For instance, Humongous Entertainment game reviews typically have the logo formatted like the HE logo itself.
* PoliceAreUseless: Discussed in his ''VideoGame/LEGOIsland'' review:
-->'''brutalmoose''': But don't worry, though. Even though I just released the only criminal on LEGO Island, the police are basically like, "Oh, s'all good."
-->'''Infomaniac''': So we need someone to race over there! Someone who can use a vehicle that can travel on roads and paths, over ramps, and in a jiffy!
-->'''brutalmoose''': Oh, you mean a motorcycle.
-->'''Infomaniac''': A skateboard, perhaps!
-->'''brutalmoose''': [[FlatWhat What?]] There are two people on motorcycles right there! [''arrows point at Nick and Laura, both riding motorcycles''] But no, the general consensus is that a skateboard would be a much, much better idea. [[SurroundedByIdiots Everyone here? Idiots.]]
* TakeThat: In his ''VideoGame/SonicShuffle'' review, he uses ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' as a picture for the word "boring".
* XtremeKoolLetterz: Pokes fun at this in ''Razor Freestyle Scooter'':
-->'''brutalmoose''': The next level is called "Schoolz Out"...with a ''z''. Because, y'know, [[SarcasmMode z is the hippest letter of the alphabet.]] It's what all the kids are into these days.
