| 3 | -->''Hello, Roahm Mythril here once again, and it's time to begin our next project.'' |
| 4 | |
| 5 | A dragon who makes [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]]. Being a dragon, he is easily distracted by [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny shiny]] objects. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | His most well-known project is a series of Perfect Runs (No Damage, Buster Only, No [[ChargedAttack Charge Shots]]) of the Classic ''[[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Mega Man]]'' games (and also ''VideoGame/NezumiMan''). Games he has completed perfect runs for include: |

| 27 | |
| 28 | He has also performed "blind" runs of various games (where he goes through each game sight-unseen for the first time). Several of them are ''Mega Man'' related, and with most of these he does plan to play them again as Perfect Runs. |

| 100 | |
| 101 | His videos are found [[https://www.youtube.com/user/RoahmMythril here]] and he has his own website [[http://www.dragonsoftstudio.com/ here.]] |
| 102 | ---- |
| 103 | !!This [=LPer=] and his [=LPs=] have displayed the following Tropes: |
| 104 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Discussed in-universe, the 1-Ups of all things. As Roahm views it, 1-ups are Evil little things that want you to die so you can use them, making them useful. |
| 105 | * ARareSentence: |
| 106 | ** While fighting a Bomber Pepe on a destructible platform during his attempt at [[VideoGame/MakeAGoodMegaManLevelContest the Pit of Pits:]] |
| 107 | --->"I must expertly snipe a penguin! ...There's a sentence for you." |
| 108 | ** And one while traversing the playground squirrel's computer network in ''Battle Network 5''. This one isn't lampshaded. |
| 109 | --->"It helps to have a map of the squirrel." |
| 110 | * ArchEnemy: Quick Man, the definitive Nightmare Boss. Quick Man is the standard that all other [[ThatOneLevel Perfect]] [[ThatOneBoss Tens]] have to meet or exceed.[[invoked]] |
| 111 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Mentions the trope by name when discussing the mental ward inmates of ''VideoGame/SilentHillOrigins'': a pyromaniac, a paranoid, violent nutcase, a self-mutilator, an anorexic and... a crossdresser. |
| 112 | * ArtificialStupidity: He gets rather annoyed when this happens, Maria (from Silent Hill 2) even got him to the point of having [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-MXAP7Iqrc revenge against her]]. |
| 113 | ** Of course, [[AIBreaker inducing it]] in bosses is one of his favourite tactics. He did it to Elec Man in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FMCwvh60tM rematch video]], and demonstrates how Guts Man can do it to just about every Robot Master, ''including the one he's supposed to be weak to'', in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o1RosfnTIk Powered Up's Boss Rush Challenge 93.]] |
| 114 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Whenever something shiny is around, Roahm usually takes a moment to admire said item, later to come back to his senses and (if possible) collect the shiny. |
| 115 | ** The Jewel Man Perfect Run really dishes this one out, as he keeps track of his saying of the word "Shiny". Foolishly, he displays the final count as Chaos Emeralds, which quickly adds an extra one at the end of the video. |
| 116 | ** During the Metal Man Perfect Run, which is actually featured on this trope's [[Quotes/AttentionDeficitOohShiny quotes page]]: |
| 117 | -->"Now, the key word here in the Metal Man stage is caution. Ooh! Shiny! [=ShinyshinyshinyshinyMINE=]! Uh, yeah. Caution." |
| 118 | * BerserkButton: |
| 119 | ** Due to constant asking, he does not like being asked about perfect running ''VideoGame/MegaManX''. |
| 120 | *** He even went and had his [=YouTube=] page designed to say this, along with making an entire video to say that he won't do them. His friend Shagg also made a song as well. |
| 121 | *** In an interview, Roahm said that he and his friends came up with the conclusion that if he set his main page video to the "I WONT PLAY MEGA MAN X", his background image to the same, he would still get asked to play ''VideoGame/MegaManX''. After this batch of science, he still gets asked. |
| 122 | ** He hates {{Hopeless Boss Fight}}s. |
| 123 | ** Do NOT ask Roahm when the next video is going to be released. |
| 124 | * BitingTheHandHumor: Roahm often disparages his ISP, without which he couldn't post his videos. Then again, said ISP sells them a package with bandwidth limits, and it's satellite Internet, so it's prone to disconnecting whenever a cloud gets between his dish and the satellite. He only puts up with it because there's no better option where he lives. |
| 125 | * BrickJoke: |
| 126 | ** First being forced by an agent of his [known later in the finale of his ''VideoGame/SilentHill4'' LP to be 'Deckard'] to do an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-a-zU9SZkA Elecman Perfect Run]] against his will by using an electric device (later known as a "Dragon Prod") against him, which he got revenge for in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajU1QHKJbvU Brightman Perfect Run]] by getting a Pikachu to be his other agent (and using an Electric Attack on Deckard), Then he made a callback to this joke [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXHU3N1U5TI&feature=related here]]. |
| 127 | ** In his LP of ''Mega Man Battle Network 2'', at one point he's forced to leave behind a bit of mystery data because he didn't have room in his inventory. In TheStinger for the ''very last video'' of that LP, he's shown going back to finally collect it. |
| 128 | --> '''''AAAAAAAAHHH! [[OneHundredPercentCompletion Completion! SHINY!!!]]''''' ''[grabs the data]'' There, I feel much better now. |
| 129 | ** Halfway through his third run of ''World Of Horror'', he tries a fan suggestion to trigger a jumpscare that grants an achievement[[note]]If you leave the game on in the background while using your computer, you have a chance of coming back to a jumpscare.[[/note]], only for his attempt to fail. In the second episode of his seventh run, he decides to check something from his first run and leaves the game running in the background... triggering the jumpscare when he comes back. |
| 130 | --> "And so he left the game idling in the background as he went to review the first run. Wait. Idling in the background... Why do I... [[FiveSecondForeshadowing OH NO! NOT THAT!]] |
| 131 | * ButtMonkey: Green Ogmo in the ''Jumper 3'' run, whose frequent deaths compared to the others soon become a RunningGag. Similarly, the sprite ("Pranko") in ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana''. |
| 132 | * TheCameo: He appears as a boss in VideoGame/PinkRoseGardenTouhou. |
| 133 | * CatchPhrase: Quite a few: |
| 134 | -->"'''Bugger!'''" |
| 135 | -->"Hello, Roahm Mythril here once again..." |
| 136 | -->"Until then, fare thee well!" |
| 137 | -->"Ooh, ''[[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Shiny]]~''!" |
| 138 | -->"[[YouJustHADToSayIt ...I say that now]]."[[note]]When he has just explained how apparently ''easy'' a certain enemy or obstacle is, [[TemptingFate only to fail to pass it]].[[/note]] |
| 139 | -->"Case in point."[[note]]When he has just explained how ''difficult'' a certain enemy or obstacle is, and subsequently failed to pass it.[[/note]] |
| 140 | -->"You do not like ____."[[note]]Trying robot master weapons on a boss he's facing and finding out which weapon the boss is weak to.[[/note]] |
| 141 | -->"_____ is kind of a thing..." |
| 142 | -->"You pest!" |
| 143 | -->"[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge REVENGE!!!]]" |
| 144 | -->"[[MST3KMantra It's only a game...]]"[[invoked]] |
| 145 | -->"[[HitboxDissonance I swear, they make up hitboxes on that thing!]]" |
| 146 | -->"[[SarcasmMode ...Charming.]]"[[note]]Very common in his ''Franchise/SilentHill'' [=LPs=]; used when he encounters something particularly disturbing or gruesome.[[/note]] |
| 147 | -->"English!" [[note]]Turns up in most of his Gag Reels whenever he switches words around in mid-sentence.[[/note]] |
| 148 | -->"It's always the birds!" |
| 149 | -->"Let's try that again, shall we?" |
| 150 | ** BorrowedCatchPhrase: In his Wind Man video, he borrowed several catch phrases used by his friend and fellow [=LPer=] Shagg, keeping track of each one he used. In that same video, he also borrowed a catch phrase from another [=LPer=], Kit, and got buzzed for that one. |
| 151 | ** SubvertedCatchPhrase: In his run of Mr. X's Castle Stage 2, he was fed up enough with the tediousness and lag brought on by the stage boss to close out the video with: "Until then... ''bloody Power Piston!''" |
| 152 | * CombatPragmatist: He normally prefers to use melee weapons over ranged weapons in the Silent Hill games, because melee weapons don't run out of ammunition (on top of a general case of DoesNotLikeGuns). However, in the VideoGame/SilentHill3 LP, he used guns quite a bit. And in VideoGame/SilentHill4, there were a couple points where he went with the Silver Bullet to avoid fighting some of the tougher ghost-victims; he also used guns against the horde of Twin Victims at the end of the Water Prison Revisited. |
| 153 | * CouchGag: The intros to every episode of his ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'' LP has Roahm as Link trying to wake up Zelda from her Deep sleep, attempting a new method each time and failing. |
| 154 | * CutenessProximity: He does this on occasions to something he finds cute, such as a Mettaur. A few VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Characters also fit, specifically Roll.EXE and Toadman.EXE. |
| 155 | * DeathFromAbove: Shown in a sprite-based animation depicting what ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'' would be like if it were a standard RPG. Roahm is fed up enough with an enemy encounter that he summons [[TheDogWasTheMastermind Mira]], who eliminates the monsters with an overhead barrage of energy beams. |
| 156 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: From his Imperishable Night LP: |
| 157 | -->"That's the annoying thing about Reimu. She fires homing shots that follow you!" |
| 158 | * {{Determinator}}: After giving up the first time on a difficult jump in Mega Man 4, Cossack stage 3, he is directed to a video of seeing this jump in perfect execution. Not to be outdone, Roahm attempts the jump 50+ times before finally nailing it, thus requiring a redo video getting the perfect run of that stage...for REAL. |
| 159 | ** Roahm tackles even the absolute worst of sidequests in his search for completion. [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Feebas,]] [[VideoGame/MegamanBattleNetwork PopUp, Bass, Punk,]] nothing can stop the dragon! |
| 160 | * DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch: Averted with "bugger" and "bloody". Played straight with "spaz". |
| 161 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: In the boss rushes for ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp'', he first tried to go through the rush using Fire Man, because Fire Man's weapon was strong against the [[MarathonBoss Yellow Devil]]. He forgot that the second-to-last boss, CWU-01P, is underwater (dousing Fire Man and reducing his power), and there's no way for Fire Man to recharge after that fight. As a result, he had to run it with a different Robot Master--and because the Robot Master in question (Cut Man) had been used in a previous rush (of Robot Masters), he had to re-do ''that'' run with Fire Man, making the old Cut Man run a bonus feature "from the [[{{Pun}} cutting]] room floor". |
| 162 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: He pulls this off in ''the'' most literal possible sense in Part 28 of Silent Hill 0rigins, defeating [[BigRedDevil Alessa's Dream]] [[GoodOldFisticuffs unarmed]] while playing the Wii VideoGame/PunchOut game's Minor Circuit theme in the background. |
| 163 | * DoesNotLikeGuns: Despite his family owning a gun repair shop, he tends not to use guns in SurvivalHorror games, preferring melee weapons (except for cases where a melee weapon is clearly impractical; see CombatPragmatist). |
| 164 | * EpicFail: |
| 165 | ** In Episode 26 of ''Secret of Evermore'', he reaches the part where he must guess the number of marbles in the boy's hand, which is a coin toss between two randomized answers, in order to access an alchemy formula. According to Roahm, he gets it right...after 25 wrong guesses in a row. |
| 166 | -->''Never take the durgon to Vegas. I think that's the lesson.'' |
| 167 | ** His second ''VideoGame/WorldOfHorror'' run can only be described as seventeen minutes of this. Every event targeted his Reason stat, sending him from 17 Reason to ''5'' before his first combat encounter. Said encounter shredded the rest of his Reason, even though he technically beat it in time. |
| 168 | * EscortMission: As noted in ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'', Roahm refers to the escortee as "baggage" since they tend to get in the way without helping you. |
| 169 | * EvolvingTitleScreen: The intro cards for the ''Secret of Mana'' playthrough change as Roahm progresses through the game, accommodating the protagonists, assorted [=NPCs=] and the elementals as they gradually appear. |
| 170 | * FailedASpotCheck: In episode 5 of his ''Link to the Past: Randomizer'' playthrough, he gets a bottle with a bee in it and mistakes the bee for a fairy. The sprites look nothing alike. [[spoiler:He does notice it's a bee two episodes later. After dying and wondering why his non-existent fairy didn't revive him.]] |
| 171 | * FakeDifficulty: One of Roahm's pet peeves regarding rom hacks (being difficult for difficulty's sake), which are pretty much plagued with this issue. |
| 172 | * FanArt: Got to a ridiculous point where it created great amount of drama between the viewers ''AND'' slowed down the videos production, even when there were videos dedicated '''ONLY''' to show and thank all the fan art made by the viewers, Nowadays, the problem has been Fixed by making "Gallery Updates" at his [[http://www.dragonsoftstudio.com/ website]]. |
| 173 | * ForScience: "Science!" is Roahm's shorthand for any sudden inspiration to investigate something in a game. |
| 174 | * TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWnFMfDm9t8&t=2m28s One of Roahm's outtakes]] against Elec Man in ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp'' showed one of his fights ending more or less this way: |
| 175 | -->...Wait, what? ''What?!'' Oh...seriously, are you kidding? Ahhhh... behold, Elec Man's ultimate attack! [[spoiler:''Shorting out the battery!'']] ''*cracks up*'' |
| 176 | * FunnyBackgroundEvent: At the beginning of part 20 of his ''Spyro'' LP, a "chicken" (fodder) walks onto an electric plate and gets zapped. |
| 177 | * UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: He's a Dragon. |
| 178 | * GameBreaker: Invoked. He mentions that he's not a fan of these [i.e. he thinks the Metal Blades in Mega Man 2 are way too overpowered due to causing so many breaks in the boss chain]. He also mentions in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXMegaman'' that its charged buster shots seem to be expected to be used a little too much [he also mentions how they can flat out destroy and pierce certain enemies' shields]. |
| 179 | * GoshDangItToHeck: Roahm doesn't swear at all. To show displeasure, he would shout "Bugger!" or "Bloody bastard!" |
| 180 | -->'''Roahm Mythril''': Well, ''Bugger!'' |
| 181 | ** He did use to swear a mild bit in early videos (just "bastard" during his nightmare boss outtakes), but after a certain point this stopped. A little funny when, as he reads the dialog for the games he LP's, in Aria of Sorrow he refuses to say it, even though the game does. |
| 182 | ** Possibly invoked at the end of his Metroid LP. When he tries the memetic password "Engage Ridley Mother Fucker," he censors the last word with [[VideoGame/MetroidFusion Ridley-X]] and admonishes anyone trying to use the password. "Remember kids, cursing gets you nowhere." |
| 183 | * HashtagForLaughs: [="#AlwaysTheBirds"=] began flourishing in the video comments after Roahm discussed his difficulties with ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon Yellow's]]'' frequently-seen Flying-type Pokemon. Later, he adopted said hashtag as a variation on one of his catchphrases. |
| 184 | * HilariousOuttakes: |
| 185 | ** Every April 1st (except for 2024, when this was [[BreakingOldTrends skipped]]), he releases his non-Perfect Run-related outtakes (usually of him [[EpicFail screwing up royally]], verbally or ingame) as a collection called the Gag Reel. His reactions to his screwups are often just as hilarious as the outtakes themselves. An excerpt: |
| 186 | ---> '''Roahm''': Hello, Roahm Mythril here once again, getting back to the [[BuffySpeak Wily 1 Mega Something blah?]] *beat* Words? Line? |
| 187 | ** His Perfect Run videos also contain outtakes, which become hilarious generally where he dies or fails because of something really ''weird'', or when he takes his [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge REVENGE]]!! on a particularly tough stage or boss. |
| 188 | * IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: |
| 189 | ** His episode titles for the ''VideoGame/MegaManUnlimited'', ''VideoGame/MegaManRockForce'', and ''VideoGame/MegaManSuperFightingRobot'' blind runs are song titles. |
| 190 | ** The videos of his ''Spyro the Dragon'' LP are, until the last two, all named after gemstones listed alphabetically. |
| 191 | ** The ''Shovel Knight'' blind run uses ''[[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Mega Man]]'' references for its episode titles (with the ones featuring the bonus bosses being named after VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe, [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Simon Belmont]], Franchise/{{Kirby}} and [[VideoGame/{{Shinobi}} Joe Musashi]]). |
| 192 | ** His Let's Plays of ''Pokémon Emerald'' and ''Pokémon Yellow'' use ExcitedTitleTwoPartEpisodeName. |
| 193 | ** His playthrough of ''VideoGame/SilentHillShatteredMemories'' uses names of phobias for titles. |
| 194 | ** His Let's Play of ''VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage'' has one-word titles describing the main point of the video. The titles are also in alphabetical order. |
| 195 | ** His ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaCircleOfTheMoon'' videos are named after ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' cards. |
| 196 | ** His ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'' videos are titled with old cartoon titles that related to the boss or stage business in question. |
| 197 | ** The titles for his ''VideoGame/{{VVVVVV}}'' videos have the letter u replaced with a v. |
| 198 | ** The titles for his ''VideoGame/SecretOfEvermore'' videos reference assorted films covered by [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]], in keeping with the protagonist's fondness of B-movies. |
| 199 | ** The titles for his ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaIISimonsQuest'' videos are names of horror films and stories. |
| 200 | ** The titles for his ''VideoGame/StarTropics'' videos are names of various constellations. |
| 201 | ** The ''VideoGame/AdventuresOfLolo'' playthrough has different ways of cooking eggs as the titles, in reference to the ability to turn enemies into eggs. |
| 202 | ** ''VideoGame/WorldOfHorror'' videos all have AddedAlliterativeAppeal, as a homage to how the game names its mysteries. |
| 203 | ** ''VideoGame/TheSeventhGuest'' titles are all anagrams in the vein of the infamous [[SolveTheSoupCans soup cans puzzle]]. |
| 204 | * InsistentTerminology: It doesn't matter what the RandomDrops actually are, they are always called "Shinies". |
| 205 | * ItsTheBestWhateverEver: Roahm's opinion of the Dog Ending in ''Silent Hill 2''. |
| 206 | -->"Best. Ending. Ever." |
| 207 | * JumpScare: Is on the receiving end of an inadvertant one during his ''The Quest of Lala'' blind run, in which a Skull that was subject to the NES hardware's sprite flickering suddenly became fully visible once he picked up the last Heart Framer. |
| 208 | * MadLibsDialogue: One of the soundbanks used in the ''Worms'' matches replaces dialogue from the players' other soundbanks with the ''Tekken 7'' announcer saying "Kazuya", "Mishima", or "Kazuya Mishima". |
| 209 | -->"Who am I? I'm a [Kazuya Mishima]. This is awesome!" |
| 210 | * MisplacedAccent: Despite being born and raised in Texas, he acquired an accent from his Scottish relatives that makes him sound more like a migrant from the British Isles. |
| 211 | * MeaningfulName: Every [=MST3K=] title in Secret of Evermore relates to something in the video: |
| 212 | ** [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E08LostContinent Experiment 208: Lost Continent]]: The first moments in Prehistoria. |

| 235 | * TheNicknamer: Generally towards objects, tropes and occasionally characters. |
| 236 | ** Shotgun: [[Film/ArmyOfDarkness Boomstick]] |
| 237 | ** [[EscortMission Escortees]]: [[ScrappyMechanic Baggage]][[invoked]] |
| 238 | ** RandomNumberGod: Desire Sensor |
| 239 | ** [[LetsPlay/PinkKittyRose Using]] [[VideoGame/{{Worms}} Ninja Ropes]]: [[ArtisticLicensePhysics Witchcraft]] |
| 240 | ** He gives nicknames to each of the Walter Sullivan Victims in the "analysis" part of his Silent Hill 4 LP. Names include [[Creator/MontyPython Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film]], Film/TheGrudge (Cynthia), [[JustForFun/OneOfUs The]] AscendedExtra (Walter himself), [[ComicBook/FantasticFour the Human Torch]] (Jasper), and Weaponized Baggage ([[EscortMission Eileen]]). |
| 241 | ** He also gives names to each of his Pokemon, not just in the LP, but outside the LP as well. He actually keeps a separate Tumblr account with a "Who's that Pokemon?" section, with the Pokemon in question, the nickname, and an explanation for it, similar to the segment in his [=LPs=]. |
| 242 | * NoJustNoReaction: At the beginning of Part 5 of his ''Metroid II'' 100% run, he started the video with an angry red Platform/VirtualBoy palette...and immediately said that he couldn't do that to his viewers. |
| 243 | * NoSenseOfDirection: As showcased and lampshaded in the [[HilariousOuttakes Gag Reel]]. |
| 244 | * NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: In Episode 5 of his ''VVVVVV'' Let’s Play, when coming up to the room with the giant elephant, Roahm warns viewers with epilepsy to look away from the elephant, and then says, "Yes, you heard that right." |
| 245 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: As time went on, Roahm got more and more comfortable with making videos, and, to reflect this, his voice got louder and he spoke a bit faster in later videos. So when you hear the first several seconds of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ebASFnGweY this video,]] you know something bad has happened. |
| 246 | * OhCrap: Every so often, when he encounters something in a game that he wasn't expecting. For example, in his ''VideoGame/SilentHill4'' run, he was dismayed to learn that a certain invincible stalker ghost was wielding a ''[[ChainsawGood chainsaw]]''. |
| 247 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: Though he "shows" the usual traits of a Dragon (Hoarding Treasure, Capable of Flight, Powers over [[AnIcePerson Ice]]/[[PlayingWithFire Fire]]) he clearly states that he's not a vicious dragon, and is... in fact, quite friendly. |
| 248 | -->'''WARNING''' |
| 249 | -->'''H'''ere there be dragons! |
| 250 | -->'''W'''ell... maybe just one... |
| 251 | -->'''A''' friendly Scottish dragon what draws and plays video games... |
| 252 | -->'''U'''m... '''YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!''' |
| 253 | * OverlyLongGag: In "The Healing Process" video for Silent Hill 2, the Hyper Spray demonstration. There was some time compression involved in that particular demonstration (to shorten the video), yet it still took nearly 2 minutes! |
| 254 | * PersonAsVerb: In his run of ''Eternal Darkness'' during Karim's chapter, his first death of the game took place during the MultiMookMelee just prior to claiming the artifact. Roahm notes after the chapter's completion that he "pulled a LetsPlay/{{Raocow}}" and died right at the end. |
| 255 | * PungeonMaster: Can't avoid making puns here and there, even when he doesn't want to. |
| 256 | ** (at the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8spmmKHYa-A Ballade Blind Run of Mega Man 10]], he used a weapon called "'''Screw''' Crusher" and destroyed a platform that he needed to use) |
| 257 | --->'''Roahm Mythril''': "Did I just '''screw''' myself over...? ...I think I have..." |
| 258 | * RealMenWearPink: |
| 259 | ** He ended his ''VideoGame/SilentHill3'' series with a '''fashion show''' of all of Heather's outfits, complete with a makeshift runway for Heather to walk on and soft pop music. |
| 260 | ** Also, his love of [[CutenessProximity Mettools]] from the ''Mega Man'' franchise, declaring them cute even when they try to kill him. |
| 261 | ** His fondness for the little mice (and one confused kangaroo) of ''VideoGame/NezumiMan'' is hard to miss. |
| 262 | ** In his ''VideoGame/SilentHillShatteredMemories'' LP, he ended up getting a pink shirt as Harry's outfit after [[spoiler: Harry wakes up in the hospital after nearly drowning]]. |
| 263 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He kinda snaps in his attempt at Ring Man's stage, and started rambling "Revenge! Revenge! Sweet *insert name of item*-y Revenge!" Kinda absurd when he showcases the Balloon item and screams "Sweet Balloony Revenge!" |
| 264 | ** He makes a cathartic video where he proceeds to determine how effective the various weapons are at killing Maria. He dubbed it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-MXAP7Iqrc The Healing Process]]. |
| 265 | * RunningGag: Several. |
| 266 | ** The most known is the "1-Up Curse", which originated from his Perfect Runs, as most of the time a 1-up was dropped by a random enemy at a random chance, it usually lead to failure by either falling down a BottomlessPit, falling on [[SpikesOfDoom spikes]] or getting hit by an enemy (one rule of the Perfect Runs is that he isn't allowed to take damage). Shown to a ridiculous extent during an outtake on Skull Man's Stage where he ends up collecting [[FourIsDeath four]] 1-ups before failing to the curse. |
| 267 | ** Another would be in his Secret of Mana LP, in which shortly after starting he rants a bit about RPG's and he inserts a picture of what appears to be [[https://youtu.be/FGjeuk4Sz4M?t=9m him about to snap in rage]]. 40 parts later, in the same LP, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbkxsAK_EzA that same image returns]]. |
| 268 | *** It returns once again in [[http://youtu.be/pP7BV_gjDlk Nezumi Man]] after Delay Nezumi gets his revenge. |
| 269 | *** In part 41 of his Eternal Darkness blind run, this picture makes its triumphant return. After clearing out a room and costing his character all of his sanity in the process, Roahm inspects the room to find that there wasn't even anything in it to begin with. Cue Roahm rage face. |
| 270 | *** And in part 4 of his Blind Run of Megaman Unlimited, he rolls a die to determine where to go... He ends up getting the first three robot masters he already defeated. Cue Roahm rage face, holding a die. |
| 271 | *** In part 7 of his ''VideoGame/StarTropics'' LP, a few moments after showing an elaborate easter egg that requires a lot of work for little payoff, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBumer9By6w&t=430s the rage face returns, new and improved.]] |
| 272 | ** The Bomberman Elevator Sequence, started by Shagg. Every time one in the group hits an elevator, this seems to crop up. |
| 273 | ** The first time Roahm encounters Higsby in each of his Battle Network playthroughs, you can expect to see a closeup picture of Higsby's awesome hair soon afterward. |
| 274 | ** Throughout his playthrough of ''VideoGame/SilentHill4'', whenever starting a new recording session or getting back from a refreshing pause, he would greet an object in Henry's apartment with his [[Film/TheRoom2003 Tommy Wiseau]] voice. |
| 275 | *** Also, quite a few times when he stomped a Hummer, he'd punctuate it with "Bacardi!" |
| 276 | ** During each Halloween project from ''Silent Hill 2'' onward, a short skit takes place regarding Roahm's visit to the eponymous town. An exception was made for the first ''Resident Evil''. |
| 277 | ** "...[[ItMakesSenseInContext a dog]]." (Apparently a reference to a Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch game with his friends.) |
| 278 | ** The intro and outro cards for his ''Adventure of Link'' run. The former has Roahm!Link attempting to wake up Zelda in different ways (a crowing Cucco, an alarm clock, etc.), while the latter has him falling asleep while listening to the villages' old men ramble on. |
| 279 | ** In each ''Mega Man'' game (plus ''VideoGame/NezumiMan'') that he did Perfect Runs for, Roahm would post a preview of the final Robot Master after defeating the 7th. |
| 280 | * RupturedAppendix: Had this happen to him in RealLife around Thanksgiving time. Thankfully, he was quickly rushed to the hospital, and made a full recovery sometime later. He referred to this incident later as "Appendigeddon". |
| 281 | * SelfImposedChallenge:[[invoked]] |
| 282 | ** His main claim to fame are his Perfect Runs of the ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' series, in which he clears stages without taking damage and using only the default Mega Buster (and without using Charge Shots). Initially, he only did the Robot Master stages, but later expanded to each game's Wily stages under a {{Minimalist|Run}} {{No Damage|Run}} rubric (as many Wily stages [[AbilityRequiredToProceed force usage of weapons to progress]] and can't be done with just the buster). |
| 283 | ** He also has his "No Evolution" runs for ''Pokémon Emerald'' and ''Pokémon Yellow'', where he can only use Pokémon that... |
| 284 | *** Are capable of evolving but can't evolve. |
| 285 | *** Weren't a Pokémon he trained prior to the run (this rule was suspended in ''Yellow'' as he'd trained all of the original 151 by that point, and was replaced with a semi-randomized list). |
| 286 | ** Plus his MinimalistRun of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI The Legend of Zelda]]''.[[invoked]] |
| 287 | * ShoutOut: He does an occasional one to his friends every now and then, but his run of Wind Man's Stage is filled with ones to Shagg. |
| 288 | * StylisticSuck: Neo, known among the friend group for his art skills, had to make some pieces of "[[TerribleArtist sucky art]]" for the custom Miiverse map for ''VideoGame/{{Worms}} Armageddon''. He pulls it off by using his inferior hand, as he reveals in Episode 63. |
| 289 | * ThemeNaming: |
| 290 | ** Tends to name episodes after songs. This is especially true for ''Franchise/MegaMan'' games, whose main characters tend to have MusicalThemeNaming as-is. |
| 291 | ** Every ''VideoGame/{{VVVVVV}}'' episode is a misspelled word with V inserted somewhere into it. |
| 292 | ** All the ''VideoGame/SecretOfEvermore episodes are named after episodes of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. |
| 293 | ** His videos for ''VideoGame/AdventuresOfLolo'' are named after various egg dishes. |
| 294 | * TemptingFate: In ''VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage'' episode 14, he plays a minigame in which he chases a bomber. The bombs don't damage; they just send the player back to where they find the bomber to start over, so in a no-damage run, it won't count. He then gives this line, which is then lampshaded by post production text: |
| 295 | -->'''Roahm:''' ''Not that I'm gonna get out of my way and get hit or anything like that.''\ |
| 296 | '''''[[LampshadeHanging FATE TEMPTED]]''''' |
| 297 | * ThisIsGonnaSuck: |
| 298 | ** After completing his Legend of Zelda Minimalist Run, he showed a reel of outtakes taken from failed runs and practice fights against Ganon. The first one captures his reaction to finding out that direct contact with Ganon (who is invisible) kills him in one hit: "...Oh, that's not gonna be fun..." |
| 299 | ** He also has this reaction twice during the Wallace battle in Emerald. First when Wailord outspeeds Sahara and [=KOs=] with Blizzard, and second when he sees Milotic use Recover. |
| 300 | ** In ''[[VideoGame/MakeAGoodMegaManLevelContest MaGMML2]]'', there's some moments of this: |
| 301 | *** He gets this reaction after beating Airflow Hubble in Tier 2 and peeking up ahead the heads of ''Enjl'' and ''[=ACESpark=]'' around Yggdrasil. That prospect of start finding least favorites left him, as he put it, ''scared''. |
| 302 | *** A similar reaction occures in [[BonusDungeon Tier X]] when he realizes the level he's playing next after Metallic Ocean was ''[[CallBack The Quickening 2]]''. This line sums it perfectly: |
| 303 | -->'''Roahm:''' [[OhCrap Oh no]]. ''Oh nooo...'' |
| 304 | ** The end of his first VideoGame/{{VVVVVV}} video sums up what to expect: |
| 305 | -->'''Roahm:''' [[NintendoHard We're gonna die]] ''[[EverythingTryingToKillYou a lot]].'' |
| 306 | * UnusualChapterNumbers: |
| 307 | ** Part 20 of his ''[[VideoGame/MakeAGoodMegaManLevelContest MaGMML1]]'' blind run is titled Part 0x14 (20 in hexadecimal), instead of the normal numbering every other episode uses. This is because [[spoiler:the video comes to an anticlimactic end thanks to a GameBreakingBug that traps Roahm in an unwinnable state]]. |
| 308 | ** ''Worms Armageddon'' usually goes by normal episode numbers, except for the 69th episode, which is numbered 68.9. [[spoiler: [=HughesNet=] started to drop, causing technical problems, making the episode more of an outtake video akin to the Gag Reels.]] |
| 309 | * VocalEvolution: His voice in his early videos is quieter and more stoic compared to the more energetic voice he would develop a year into his time on [=YouTube=]. This is most pronounced when watching his ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'' playlist, as the Doc Robot and Wily stage perfect runs were recorded years after the ones for the Robot Masters and Break Man, thus the playlist (which puts the videos in the proper game order) cuts back and forth between the two. |
| 310 | * WaxingLyrical: He quotes some lines from "Can't Beat Airman" during the Heat Man perfect run. |
| 311 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: |
| 312 | ** He reveals in the Champion battle of ''Emerald'' that Milotic instils this reaction in him due to it constantly ending his runs in Battle Tower and the like. |
| 313 | ** From the ''Mega Man'' series, he has birds (mostly Pipis) and any incarnation of Quick Man. |
| 314 | %% For WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings to apply, the vitriol would have to be directed toward Roahm, which wasn't the case for MAGMML. |
| 315 | * WhyWeCantHaveNiceThings: Roahm's run of the first ''VideoGame/MakeAGoodMegaManLevelContest'' caused a surprising amount of backlash toward the game makers and judges. Despite Roahm's requests for civility, the comments got worse, with the venom reaching new heights during the third and fourth Wily stages. At this point, the comments sections of the videos had gotten so bad that Roahm nearly cancelled the project (and actually ''did'' briefly cancel it, before conversing with the judges who had borne the brunt of the attacks and deciding to reverse that decision), instead opting to disable the comments section of the remaining videos in the series. |
