6[[https://www.youtube.com/user/AlChestBreach AlChestBreach]], also known as Brown Bear Breach after he decided that a camouflage suit made him look like a bear and as Bill Petersen in real life, is a Let's Player, mainly playing Bethesda games like ''VideoGame/Fallout3'', ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' and ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', and ''VideoGame/Fallout4''. He has a tendency to be silly, claims to live on the moon, has a tendency to be incredibly silly, likes to talk to everything around and [[RuleOfThree yes, he has tendency to be very very silly. ]]
7
8He started off playing and reviewing ''New Vegas'' mods, but later started his ''Minecraft: Go West'' series, ''Fallout 3: Modded'' Playthrough, ''Skyrim'' Mods and Cat Tales (not the things on their backs), as well as some other random games. Every now and then, he also makes a montage out of clips from one of his games, mostly New Vegas, like the famous ''Brahmin Hunter'' or ''Overencumbered Man''.

10Nowadays, while not chilling in his (alleged) moon-house, he mostly plays New Vegas and ''Skyrim'' mods, although there is always some other content dropping in.

12----
13!![=AlChestBreach=]'s channel as a whole provides examples of:
14
15* ABirthdayNotABreak: Thrice!
16** [[OnlySaneMan Harold Duggart]] dies in the middle of Bobby's partty.
17** Much later in the series, [[spoiler: Waffles dies during Robbie's birthday.]]
18** Not long after Waffles , during Robbie's next birthday, many people in town died of old age and of other causes. The main 3 casualties were: [[spoiler: Steven Duggart, Pudge Farks, and even Bobby Duggart]].
19* AccidentalMurder: Mageru 5000-100 didn't mean to shoot his love interest, Mikel, he only wanted to shoot his door. Too bad the bullet went through the door.
20* ActionBomb: Chumpkins, the exploding cat.
21* AgeInappropriateDress: He is extremely uncomfortable with the sexy French maid outfit that Sizzler begins wearing. Of course, he did buy it for her.
22* AnAssKickingChristmas: The "Fallout New Vegas Mods: Christmas Special" has Al facing off against Neo-Nazis whilst simultaneously helping Santa set up a Christmas party in the wasteland.
23* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Oh so often, mostly running away from important stuff to look at... less-than-important stuff. As an example, while on a driving quest, he suddenly jumped out of the car to go sit next to a seagull. In the middle of a street. He then proceeded to sing about it.
24* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Bobby Duggart, or rather his ghost. Harold has been brought back twice!]]
25* BadassBoast:
26** Oddly enough, in the midst of all the silliness, he tends to drop a few good boasts. Notably: "Who wants to die first? None of you? All right, it's gonna be all of you." Which he says in the exact same tone as anything else he says!
27** One of particular note comes from War Trash - Part 8. "I'm a magician. I make people disappear."
28* BadassLongcoat: Played for Laughs. The Tube Blanket – a custom-built leather duster with an absurd damage threshold (meaning it absorbs bullets like some kind of bullet sponge).
29* BashBrothers: Jerry [=McGhoulberry=] and Mister Cuddlesworth when Al is using a ranged weapon. Jerry and Al when he's using a melee weapon.
30* BerserkButton:
31** Invisible walls and the game crashing usually gets him quite angered.
32** However, nothing quite gets his goat like talking over him when he's trying to talk. Protip: Don't do that.
33--->'''Al:''' We are all going to kill you brutally in like four seconds if you don't shut your goddamn mouth.
34*** Or when [=NPCs=] start talking when he tries to talk. He goes ''nuts''.
35** Also whenever sims don't do what he orders them to do.
36* BlatantLies: Every time he uses console commands, he insists there's something horrible outside your window looking at you. [[spoiler:[[SelfDemonstratingArticle There is.]]]]
37* CallBack: Al makes many references to past videos and/or mods, but here are a few examples:
38** A reference to the weapon mod that accidentally renamed the Mojave Wasteland the 'Mojave Ödland' is made in the "Time Machine 2" mod review.
39** In one video, Al finds a chainsaw, and gives it to Jerry, saying that it would 'bring back the glory days.' This is a reference to Al's older videos, where Jerry had a chainsaw as his primary weapon instead of the blue glove he currently uses.
40** In the Tower of Raiders mod review, Al comes across a large room with 4 doors spread far apart. He then says, "Oh God, this reminds me of Alice in Wasteland."
41* CasualDangerDialogue: Inevitable, given his inability to ever stop talking.
42* CatsAreMean:
43** Mr. Blisters who killed Jimmy Cop's wife and tried to burn his house down.
44** Even adorable little Gumbo used to attack Oscar on a regular basis.
45* CatchPhrase: Has gradually built up a list of recurring quotes through his years of mod reviewing including: "Oh Jesus!", "Damn Hussy/Hussies", "Yeah, welcome to the real world! Road Rules.", "Welcome to Narnia!", "The whole world's exploding/after me!", "Show (him/her/them) a thing or two about (something, usually love)", "[[InAWorld This]] [[Creator/DonLaFontaine Summer]]..." and especially [[QuiptoBlack "Looks like he/she just got]] [[Series/CSIMiami [insert pop culture reference relevant to the manner/cause of death] ]]"
46* CloudCuckooLander: From his Fallout: New Vegas playthrough: "They love me in Novac! They all call me the Great Pumpkin and they ride me to school."
47* CharacterDevelopment: Donny Cop changes more than any of Al's other characters, starting off as an exceptionally stupid little boy to a DumbassTeenageSon with no friends, to a [[SheIsAllGrownUp dapper sophisticate celebrity]] that everyone loves.
48* ComicalOverreacting: Doc Mitchell once tried to [[spoiler:steal the remains of Jerry and kill Al and his crew]] because Al kept using the Doc's house for a storage depot for his mod items.
49* CompanionCube: Chainz, the chainsaw introduced in episode 55 of Al's Dust playthrough.
50* CosmicRetcon: In his Sims 3 playthrough, Bobby Duggart went backwards in time (reloaded an old save) to save his pets after social services took them away from him. Eagle-eyed viewers may note he actually went quite a ways back, seeing as how both TheGrimReaper and [[ArchEnemy Doug Tanden]] came back.
51* CovertPervert: Al ''seems'' to avoid all sexuality in mods, and is very quick to whip out the censor bars, but he's more than happy to indulge in the more subtle perversities that the mods allow. Like stealing Janet's underwear when she is killed by deathclaws.
52* CrapsackWorld: By having Mageru-5000 100 [[spoiler: kill TheGrimReaper]], Al has pretty much turned the world of VideoGame/TheSims into this.
53* DamnedByFaintPraise: Al absolutely refuses to ever acknowledge it when a mod sucks, preferring instead to point out incredibly bland things it does right. Or just [[SoBadItsGood if it makes him laugh.]]
54* DepartmentofRedundancyDepartment: Super Deathclaw Cave to Super Deathclaw cave.
55* DrivenToSuicide: When Al ordered Oscar the robot to kill himself.
56%% * DroppedABridgeOnHim: Poor Jameson.
57* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
58** Inverted. His very early videos are actually fairly straight up walkthroughs and reviews of mods, which can be quite jarring if you are used to watching his newer videos before seeing those.
59** In his first video, he even says "Hey everyone, [=AlChestBreach=] here." He would ''never'' say his channel name in the introduction nowadays.
60* EpicFail: The most glorious may have been when he accidentally pulled [[ActionBomb Chumpkins]] into a land mine and was subsequently [[BlownAcrossTheRoom launched into the sky]]
61* FatBastard: Bobby Duggart is an unrepentant murderer. Who is fat.
62* FreezeFrameBonus: If you time a freeze frame right in Al's Area 51 Finished series, you find that he is hostile to himself ([[https://youtu.be/6c8_UIHpI54?t=39m17s Video starts a few seconds before]])
63* {{GASP}}: Whenever he stumbles across something utterly insignificant.
64* GoldDigger: The entire schtick of one of his Sims 3 families, the Reddings. Hilariously, Abigail Redding ends up marrying one herself, much to Al's consternation.
65* {{Gonk}}: [[CreepyChild Jimmy Whistles,]] Cindy Ribbits, and Film/TheElephantMan all have ridiculously broken models.
66* HandCannon: He loves giant pistols, and will say so often in any video where he has one. "I love this gun." Indeed.
67* HeroicComedicSociopath: "He may have killed some kids, but in my book that's okay!"
68* HeroicBSOD: Has the hilarious tendency to break out into (hopefully fake) tears whenever he sees something horrible, like when he gets his favorite companions killed. But he's quick to snap out of it and forget.
69* HopeSpot: When Al is convinced animals don't die in VideoGame/{{The Sims 3}}. [[spoiler: The HopeSpot doesn't last long.]]
70* HurricaneOfPuns: Axe Man lives and breathes off of axe related puns.
71* IgnoredEnemy: Often discusses utterly nonsensical things with his companions during hectic firefights.
72* IgnoringBySinging: While he usually doesn't intend to do this, there have been times where he's forgotten to listen to an NPC because he was singing.
73* IHaveManyNames: Introduces himself by a different username in every video.
74* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: When playing a particularly badly translated mod, Al is known to begin talking this way.
75* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
76** His player characters have a tendency to be abusive, bloodthirsty, impatient, short-tempered if not flat-out insane with a severe case of ADHD. Yet, he almost always chooses the most polite dialogue option in NPC conversations (even if there's another funnier but ruder response) and always prefers to do the right thing in quest choices. In one of his recent Fallout videos he laments that the Vault 22 plant research has to be burnt without a good alternative offered and the loss of an opportunity to make the Mojave "beautiful again".
77** And while it's not really a good plan, he aligns with the NCR (The Resident [[GoodIsNotNice Good Faction]]) quite frequently, and he has often talked about how it would be "Wonderful" to bombard the Legion (The Resident Evil Faction of the game).
78* KilledOffForReal:
79** [[spoiler:Cass]]. Murdered by Al himself because she wouldn't shut up.
80** And more recently, [[spoiler:Harold]] passed away not long before [[spoiler:Bobby]] murdered [[spoiler:Abraham]] in The Sims 3. Death had a busy week.
81** And now [[spoiler: [[TheGrimReaper Death himself]]]] is dead.
82** [[spoiler: Kimmy Duggart]]
83** [[spoiler: Waffles died on Robbie's birthday.]]
84** [[spoiler: Pudge]]
85** [[spoiler:Steven]]
86** [[spoiler:Zelda]]
87** [[spoiler:Pudge]]
88** [[spoiler:Bobby]]
89** [[spoiler:Jimmy Cop]]
90* KleptomaniacHero. Al takes everything. Ever. He constantly gets over-encumbered because he compulsively steals things.
91* LaughingMad: [[https://youtu.be/sK6OkLICcVY?t=7m18s "Let me ask you a question: are you into gay men?"]]
92* TheLoad: Gully, [[JokeCharacter an epileptic ghoul companion]] with the amazing ability to lose ever single fight he starts.
93* ManChild: Certainly comes close to it, at times, if he's not there all the time.
94* ManOfAThousandVoices: Especially evident in his montages, where he inevitably plays [[ActingForTwo every single character.]] [[CrossdressingVoices Yes, even the women.]]
95* MenDontCry: Inverted parody which is played for laughs – related to the above HeroicBSOD.
96* MidBattleTeaBreak:
97** Perhaps as a result of the games he plays, but he'll often stop in the middle of a fight and consume large quantities of food and drink.
98** [[LampshadeHanging "Let me just eat thirty bags of potato chips."]]
99* MomentOfSilence: During his Let's Play of VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram, his haphazard flying of a jet causes him to crash when landing, killing Matemey Kerbal. {{Beat}} "I'll inform the Family..."
100* MotorMouth: He is constantly talking at a frequent rate.
101* NiceGuy: He's extremely fond of his fans and frequently lets them know how much he appreciates them, and he refuses to say anything negative about any mods no matter how bad they are because he feels that they all have effort put into them.
102* NonIndicativeName: [[spoiler: The channel name was derived from a [[RealMovieFakeTrailer sketch/trailer for a fictional movie]] on his older channel, Billtcm. Curiously, Bill himself didn't portray the titular character.]]
103* OneLiner: He loves these, but most of them make no sense. Al understands this, but doesn't really care.
104* OnlySaneMan: Ferris Bueller, who is a horse.
105* OffTheRails: Al's Sims 3 playthrough went from being a goofy but standard Let's Play and went completely batshit insane the second [[OnlySaneMan Harold Duggart]] died.
106* OverlyLongGag: Any time he decides to follow an animal around in Sims 3.
107* PetPeeveTrope: [[MoreDakka M4 and AK-47]] mods. No matter how good they are, there are [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks so many on the nexus]] that he is sick to death of them showing up.
108* PrecisionFStrike: Al tends to prefer sticking to his mix of [[GoshdangItToHeck baby talk]] and [[UnusualEuphemism made-up gibberish]], so it tends to have a bit more impact on the occasions when he does actually start swearing.
109* RaisedByWolves: In his Draw My Life video: "[[BlatantLies I was born to a family of wild raccoons in the lower District of Columbia.]]"
110* RunningGag:
111** "Groovatron, that's the mod." Said every single time he uses the mod due to the legions of commenters asking what the mod is.
112** People dying during Dauggart-thrown parties.
113* SelfDeprecation: "[[RunningGag Yeah, I was watching this [=AlChestBreach=] video and he (insert moronic/insane/boring action) for (insert considerable length of time).]] [[WorstWhateverEver Worst video ever.]]"
114* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler: Robbie Duggart by accident.]]
115* SanitySlippage: Bobby Duggart immediately after Harold's death.
116* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Al has reviewed just about every kind of weapon mod there is, but he takes a certain delight with shotguns in particular.
117* RidingIntoTheSunset: The end of the Sims 3 was after Al decided that the Duggarts can't be killed and send demon Bobby riding on Dancer to the sunset.
118* SignatureLaugh: Often breaks out into one some Website/YouTube commentators have playfully described as a "monkey laugh", usually preceded by rag-doll glitches, [[EpicFail personal stupidity]] and exaggerated violence or explosions.
119* SharpDressedMan: Donny Cop grows into one of these.
120* TalkativeLoon: He never stops talking, and it's usually utter nonsense.
121* TemptingFate: [[spoiler: Waffles dies literally the second Al comes to the conclusion that pets in the Sims 3 can't die.]]
122* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler: Jimmy Cop [[DyingAlone dies alone]] in his bathroom after taking a shit.]]
123* UnusuallyUninterestingSight:
124** Inverted. Often gasps with legitimate amazement at random things, like traffic cones, loose garbage, broken run-of-the-mill guns. Usually then lampeshaded by the line, "This is nothing."
125** PlayedStraight by the fact that NPC's never notice his companions, which include: a deathclaw named [[FluffyTheTerrible Mr. Cuddlesworth]] who wears a top hat, a giant roach named [[OneSteveLimit Steve]], a reanimated corpse named [[SpecialPersonNormalName Jerry]] [[OddNameOut McGhoulberry]], a robot named Captain Ballarms, a girl named Janet in a cyborg's body, and many other random but unusual companions.
126** Averted in ''VideoGame/TheSims3''. Steven passed out upon seeing TheGrimReaper sitting on the couch and watching TV.
127* WhatTheHellHero: The mod that allowed him to kill the child then yelled at him, calling him a "horrible, horrible, human being."
128* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent:
129** When talking to himself or his companions while also being generally silly, has the tendency to dip into one.
130** In his owns words, "I don't know why I always turn an Irish/Scottish/whatever that accent is that isn't an accent that people yell at me for being an accent."
131** Sometimes, he has trouble distinguishing between his Irish and his Pirate accents.
132* WouldHurtAChild: Annoying child is talking while Al is talking? His solution: Shoot the child dead. Then continue on as if nothing happened.
133----
134-> ''Awaaaayy!''
