History YMMV / ScrewAttack

* FriendlyFandoms: With Creator/RoosterTeeth, due to both being gaming related companies based out of Texas who produce original shows and hold their own conventions. It also helps that they're both owned by Fullscreen, who in November 2015 made [=ScrewAttack=] a division of Rooster Teeth.

** One of Screwattack's partners is {{Brentalfloss}}, whose "WithLyrics" videos are definitely SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic.
** Who didn't think "Beat That Soulja Boy Rap" was amazing?

** [=ScrewAttack=] nowadays has stopped doing Hard News, Video Game Vault, and Screwin' Around to focus on Death Battle as their bread and butter. While Top 10 videos still trickle in, even supplemented by the Top X Reasons We Love/Hate series, Hard News, Video Game Vault, and Screwin' Around all grinded to a halt in mid 2014. This is mainly due to them being bought and acquired by a company which owned Rooster Teeth. Seeing as Rooster Teeth's version of Hard News has more views, and moving Hard News from [=ScrewAttack=] to gauge its popularity, it's safe to say that Hard News is down for good. As to whether or not, this was a wise choice, is up to debate, but business is business.

* SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}: The terminally ill [[OnlineCommunity g1]] whose MakeAWish [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment wish]] was to spend one day at the HQ with the crew. They let him, and appeared on pretty much every feature on the site, he even hosted hard news ''[[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow saw under Craig's hat]]''. If that's not the greatest SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} in the entirety of the internet, then I don't know what is.

* HypeBacklash: The initial anouncement of SGC was one, as the site hyped TheReveal to an insane amount. When it was revealed that it was effectively just a rebranding & upscaling of the site's "Iron Man of Gaming" tournament, people were pissed that after all the hype, it was for something that meant nothing to them as they wouldn't be able to get to SGC.
* InternetBackdraft: They put ''MegaManLegends'' on their Top Ten Worst 2D to 3D games. Considering the then-recent cancellation of ''Mega Man Legends 3'', people... Weren't pleased.

* EightPointEight: Their VG Vault of an ''{{Asterix}}'' game was criticized by non-Americans. [[http://www.gametrailers.com/player/710977.html The response video]] also states criticizing [[TheBeautifulGame soccer]] has a bad response outside America too.

* HilariousInHindsight: In their top ten worst Mario games list, they claimed the US Super Mario Bros. 2 was put on the list simply because it was a dolled up installment based on DokiDokiPanic, and not a real Mario game. A 2011 interview with Nintendo revealed that Doki Doki Panic did in fact start as an early prototype for a Mario sequel, before becoming Doki Doki Panic, which in turn was turned into the Us Mario 2.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: One clip of the week featured Stuttering Craig singing the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' theme song. But with new lyrics related to ''CallOfDuty''.

** At the beginning of 2010 they released a video stating that VideoGame/DukeNukemForever would get a release date, [[Nintendo3DS Nintendo would try out 3D again,]] there would be a new [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Kid Icarus game]] anounced (Albeit, for the Wii, not the DS), and the [[http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-360/consoles/xbox-360-4gb-console/78479 360 would be slimmed down.]] Scary isn't it?

* GrowingTheBeard: The general consensus is that after the founders of TheGameHeroes left the site caused this - The vacancies left by the more subdued Handsome Tom & Perfect Liz were eventually filled by [[DeadpanSnarker Daily Destin]] & [[TheChick Maxifent Corey]], whilst [[TokenMinority Jose El Mexicano]], [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} High School Ben]] & [[ButtMonkey Nervous Nick]] took more prominent roles in the site. The biggest change was in the Clip Of The Week, as they went from small skits, to full-on productions at times.

** Once Tom, Liz, and Mickey left, {{ScrewAttack}} became less about games and more "The Stuttering Craig Show".

** Once Tom, Liz, and Mickey left, ScrewAttack became less about games and more "The Stuttering Craig Show".

** The feedback to the first video Destin did for [=ScrewAttack=] — a Video Game Vault for ''X-Men'' on the Sega Genesis — was so bad on [=GameTrailers.com=] that it was a ''long'' time before anyone other than Craig did a video that was posted on [=GameTrailers.com=]. The next was the first half of the ''Top Ten Sega Genesis Games'' which featured Craig, Corey and Destin. Comments featured people saying Corey wasn't a gamer because she was a girl or because they felt she was a fake, and more accusations that Destin was just there to replace Tom. The second half of the Top Ten just featured Craig.

** Backing ''VideoGame/TheAngryVideoGameNerdAdventures'', a [[ItsShortSoItSucks 2-hour]], [[ItsHardSoItSucks obnoxiously]] NintendoHard [[StylisticSuck on purpose]] {{Retreaux}} {{indie|game}} [[PlatformGame platformer]] considered by many to be SoOkayItsAverage at best with a price tag of '''$15''', despite games with similar production values and more creativity being released as {{freeware}}.

* BrickJoke: [[Film/SupermanII Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut]] (a movie) was on the Top 10 PS3 titles back in 2007. It also made the cut on the Top 5 PS4 titles in 2013, a full 6 years after.

* DudeNotFunny: Their "Top 10 Worst Blockbusters" had a few people pissed off at their choices, mostly the Sonic franchise (not a specific game, ''the entire franchise'').

* TearJerker: Jared anouncing his departure from the site on the October 1st, 2012 edition of ''Hard News''. No fanfare leading up to it, and no "At the end of this week[=/=]month..." in the anouncement, just Jared simply stating that he was no longer part of the team, effective immediately. Made worse when you realise he was fired because of his projects outside of [=ScrewAttack=] beginning to gain a following of their own.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: The terminally ill [[OnlineCommunity g1]] whose MakeAWish [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment wish]] was to spend one day at the HQ with the crew. They let him, and appeared on pretty much every feature on the site, he even hosted hard news ''[[ThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow saw under Craig's hat]]''. If that's not the greatest CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming in the entirety of the internet, then I don't know what is.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Go listen to the "Corey's Secret Boyfriend" podcast. Her reaction as the tale of how she unwittingly seduced some poor nerd & accidentally agreed to go on a date with him before ''realising this in the middle of the night'' and breaking up with him the next day is only made less funny by the fact that it was only an audio podcast.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: One clip of the week featured Stuttering Craig singing the ''{{Pokemon}}'' theme song. But with new lyrics related to ''CallOfDuty''.
** One of Screwattack's partners is [[{{Brentalfloss}} brentalfloss]], whose "WithLyrics" videos are definitely CrowningMusicOfAwesome.
** Who didn't think "Beat That Soulja Boy Rap" was amazing?
* DudeNotFunny: Their "Top 10 Worst Blockbusters" had a few people pissed off at their choices, mostly the Sonic franchise (not a specific game, ''the entire franchise'').
* EarWorm: The [=ScrewAttack=] jingle. So much so, that even though it was originally commissioned to serve as the Hard News theme, it wound up opening ''all'' of the site's videos.
* EightPointEight: Their VG Vault of an ''{{Asterix}}'' game was criticized by non-Americans. [[http://www.gametrailers.com/player/710977.html The response video]] also states criticizing [[TheBeautifulGame soccer]] has a bad response outside America too.
* FetishFuel: Maxifent Corey. Dressed as the Phoenix — ''Good ''and'' Dark versions''.
* GrowingTheBeard: The general consensus is that after the founders of TheGameHeroes left the site caused this - The vacancies left by the more subdued Handsome Tom & Perfect Liz were eventually filled by [[DeadpanSnarker Daily Destin]] & [[TheChick Maxifent Corey]], whilst [[TokenMinority Jose El Mexicano]], [[CloudCuckooLander High School Ben]] & [[ButtMonkey Nervous Nick]] took more prominent roles in the site.

* ReplacementScrappy: Some saw Destin as this when he made his debut shortly after Handsome Tom left the site. Notably the Video Game Vaults and Top 10s featuring Destin are amongst the lowest rated of the Screwattack videos on [=GameTrailers.com=].
** Averted with Nervous Nick who seems popular with the users on [=GameTrailers.com=] and does the video game vaults and the top ten videos regularly with Craig.

** In the Top 10 Best and Worst Gaming Peripherals, R.O.B. came in at number 10 (worst) with Handsome Tom mentioning that the next time he sees R.O.B., he wants to see him shooting lasers out of his eyes (pew pew). Then [[SuperSmashBrosBrawl Brawl]] came and when R.O.B. became a smasher, he can shoot lasers out of his eyes not only as a regular smash move, but a final smash move as well. In the same Top 10 list, they argued that had the U-Verse never been made, we'd be playing games with our minds. Unfortunately, while there isn't a ''video game'' that does this just yet, there have been games launched into production not too long after which rely on thoughts to play (if only to move a ball through a series of obstacle courses).

** They also put ''EccoTheDolphin'' on the Top Ten Worst Water Levels, citing the entire game (Nervous Nick ''did'' lampshade the CultClassic status, particularly for the sequels), and [[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Hydro City]].

** Batman losing the Death Battle to Spider-Man. Given the [[PopularityPower "Prep Time Defense"]] he always gets, it's not surprising.

** For 2011, they speculated on a new Nintendo console aiming on harcore games... [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Caf%C3%A9 which seems to be on its way.]]
