!! What you want to do is read the examples, but not in alphabetical order, because that will open your Space Inventory:
* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: "This will levitate your first time shadow and slow down all your [=subSEquent=] and [=SUBsequent=] time shadows."
* {{Callback}}: Several to the Space Inventory introduced in ''World Quester 2''.
** One of the many dialogue options in ''Commanders of Siege Force'' is "Open Space Inventory".

* {{Calvinball}}: ''Soltaire Party'' goes from being an extremely simple game of "put the card in the marked pile" or "which of these cards is bigger" to this, once difficulty 10 is selected. Even the ''bots'' are too confused by it, and forfeit the game.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Inverted in ''Solitaire Party'', where the computer, even at its highest difficulty, has no idea what's going on. It's hard to blame it for this.
* FictionalVideoGame: Every game covered in the series.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: The chat in ''Time Travel Understander'', which is affected by what Pat does in the game, and the AI chat in ''Solitaire Party'

* MoonLogicPuzzle: World 1 Stage 1 Level 1 Part 1 of ''Time Travel Understander''. And it probably doesn't get much better from there.
