* OnlyInFlorida: Be on the lookout for Florida Man to appear as a namesake to at least one [[VideoGame/TheSims Sim]] when he's playing. Also: as Gray himself is from Florida, [[SeenItAll he's privy to a lot of Florida related nonsense]].

* DidntSeeThatComing: Quite frequently:
** In ''Universe Sandbox [[superscript:2]]'', he often gets surprised by the results of his mad experiments. One of the best examples was when he destroyed Earth ''with a grain of sand going at 100 million times the speed of light''. He was underwhelmed by the lack of destruction at first before the game finally calculated the damage and showed that the Earth was completely destroyed.
** His reaction to the PlotTwist of ''Car Hazard'' is a mix of this and INeedAFreakingDrink due to the main character being revealed to be [[spoiler:an insane killer who uses her own friends' skin and blood to make her "art"]].



* GameBreakingBug: If there's anything he loves to do and is good at, it's breaking games, be it setting values extremely high or performing bizzare experiments.

Added DiffLines:

** Mentioning "Florida Man" is another thing he likes doing quite a bit, especially in ''Universe Sandbox [[superscript:2]]'' whenever he's doing experiments that end with Earth's destruction.

* MegatonPunch: In ''VideoGame/FarmingSimulator 19'', he set the speed of the [=NPCs=] driving their cars around the map so high that they only occasionally appear as one-frame blips. Getting hit by one of these while they're still technically driving around sends his gigantic farming vehicles clear out of the map.

Added DiffLines:

* RealityEnsues: As his LP's of "peaceful" simulation games can attest, such as ''VideoGame/FarmingSimulator 19'', going into the game's files and messing with the values of certain features can and will make the game virtually to completely unplayable, if not just crash the game outright. Just look at what he did when he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z5oCmKUYH4 wanted to plow all of the snow on the map at once...]]
