6!!Provides examples of:
7* AccidentalMurder: A variant. Before building the rollercoaster in SMP season 4, Dire plays with the locomotives added to Railcraft. A moment later Soaryn steps on the tracks and gets killed by Dire riding the train. Also, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=d8lyDbIFd6w&list=PLaiPn4ewcbkF09AFK7ayeeqD7viw_6MbG&t=1405 is PVP turned on?]]
8* BittersweetEnding: Season 5 -[[spoiler: Dire is now safe in his Sanctuary dimension, but the Endermen destroyed his base.]]
9* CatchPhrase: "Hello, everyone! ''This '''is''''' [=Direwolf20=], and welcome to Episode X of [=Direwolf20's=] (name of series) series!" and "Remember, taaaaaake it easy!"
10* CurbStompBattle: Happens just about anytime [[TheRival Richard G]] decides to troll Dire and then show up in front of him.
11* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Often uses the wrong tool that's in his 4th hotbar slot.
12** He also keeps forgetting that [=EnderI/O=] cables default to extract instead of insert.
13* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Dire and Soaryn build one near the end of SMP season 4. While the base itself isn't all that complicated,the door to get in sure is.
14* EpicFail: While building in the void age in Season 5, he tests the golem pistons with his remote...and accidentally activates the particle accelerators, killing him.
15* FriendlyRivalry: Dire and Richard G. Most of the time, when Richard G does something to Dire in any way, shape, or form, Dire always finds a way to get back at him. ''Always.''
16** In season 6 of his server play series, it is with [=RWTema=], iChun, and mr_okushama.
17* GameBreakingBug: The whole point of ''Forgecraft'' is to prevent this and smaller ones.
18* GenderBlenderName: Machine Muse and Rorax are female.
19* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: In Season 5 episode 99,[[spoiler: a Hydra shows up and destroys part of his base.]] Later,[[spoiler: a Naga appears and breaks out of his enchanted book room.]]
20* RunningGag: In Season 5 of SMP neptunepink keeps getting slaughtered by a Carmonite Golem in the first episode.
21** Every time Soaryn gets access to UU-Matter he spills it all over the place.
22** Every single single-player season has a guest come up near the end of the season and turn out to be one with the Endermen and attack Dire.
23* SeasonFinale: Near the end of SMP season 4, Dire and Soaryn build a rollercoaster,with the first part leading into a hellish world, the second leading into a greenland-like area, and the last?[[spoiler: A technology room, with (unreleased) ''Xycraft'' lasers and magtubes, along with other mod stuff.]]
24** Pretty much every season, either by [[StuffBlowingUp destroying the server]] or by [[spoiler: being overrun by Endermen]] in the case of the single player series
25* ShoutOut:
26-->'''Direwolf (to Soaryn)''': [[WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove Pull the lever Kronk!]] *Soaryn pulls the lever of the drawbridge Dire is standing on*
27-->'''Direwolf''': No, not ''that'' lever!
28* SideKick: Soaryn falls into this. Occasionally inverted and Direwolf acts as Soaryn's sidekick.
29* SignatureStyle: In contrast to most [=LPs=], Dire tends to go for Function ''over'' form, his builds maybe be plain and his tech a jumbled mess, but it works perfectly, later seasons have shown him trying to avert it, but usually by defaulting to his 9x9 cubes, but with differing kinds of blocks.
30* SomeKindOfForceField: Dire builds one in SMP season 3.(Mainly to keep Richard G out).
31** In his Season 6 server play, after iChun pranks Dire by placing cicadas in his walls and chickens through out his old base, Dire traps mr_okushama and iChun in an [[OneHitKill instadeath]] forcefield in a void age.
32** Said forcefield is used as Dire and Soaryn's new base and to keep Mr_Okushama, iChun, and [=RWTema=] out of his void age. [[OneHitKill Anyone who is on the black list is killed within 5 seconds.]]
33* SpellMyNameWithAnS: So(a)ryn.
34* SpitefulSpit: Subverted with Soaryn. If he gets a hold of [[MatterReplicator UU-Matter]], there will always be a moment where he spits it all over the place.
35* YankTheDogsChain: Dire keeps teasing on his videos features about mods that haven't been updated in a long time, like ''Xycraft'' and ''Equivalent Exchange 3''
