Line #10 Trivia/TheNecroCritic


1	* Gareth Van Camp suffers from UsefulNotes/AspergersSyndrome, which affects his speech pattern among other things. This is most noticeable in his earliest videos where his voice is slower, more deliberate, and marked with the occasional mild stammer. He's since gotten more control over it.
2	** He's mentioned in his Website/YouTube comments about how his voice when he's out of character typically only has two modes: "deliberate and emotionless, or excitable, stammering mess."
3	*** This is made HarsherInHindsight when you consider the large number of comments complaining about how "annoying" his voice is.
4	** That said, he seems to have a fairly good sense of humor about it. Sometimes joking about it in comments:
5	--> '''Commenter:''' ''You sound like Aspergers!''
6	--> '''Necro:''' ''I AM Aspergers!''
7	* He once mentioned that the real reason he started making videos in the first place was as a coping mechanism for his crippling fear of expressing his anger.
8	* AuthorPhobia: The fact that Gareth suffers from Brephophobia (fear of babies) in real life really puts certain aspects of his Film/BabyGeniuses review into perspective.
9	* CopiouslyCreditedCreator: He makes these videos single-handedly. So, naturally, he credits himself as the writer, director, producer, editor, and star.
10	* CreatorBacklash: Before he was The Necro Critic, Gareth had a series of random rant videos called, ''You Know What Pisses Me Off?'' He is apparently not very fond of them.
11	** [[TheArtifact Oddly enough, he does start off his first official Necro Critic review with this phrase...]]
12	* EnforcedMethodActing: He downed an actual bottle of Mana Energy Potion ([[KlatchianCoffee which is really potent and has an extremely strong flavor]]) in his Ehrgeiz review. The energetic screaming he did in response along with his twitchy ButtonMashing for the ensuing montage were from a legitimate rush.
13	** There were multiple takes of the scene where he has the WesternAnimation/VanHelsingTheLondonAssignment thrown at him. During one of the takes, the DVD busts him in the lip, provoking an angry response. That was the take the video ended up using.
14	* NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals: See ThrowItIn below.
15	* OutOfHolidayEpisode: He's had several "embarassingly late holiday specials" due to technical difficulties in finishing the respective videos.
16	** ''Jekyll + Hyde'' and ''The Christmas Shoes'' were a Halloween and Christmas episode released simultaneously in February.
17	** ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays OVA Double-Feature'' was a Valentine's Day episode released in March.
18	** ''Santa Clause 2'' was released in January, while ''Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause'' was released in July.
19	** Lampshaded in his ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTheAmericanRabbit'' review
20	--->''"Happy Fourth of July... as of filming this anyway. [[SelfDeprecation Which means, by my track record, it's probably January right now.]]"''
21	*** And again in his ''WesternAnimation/RudolphAndFrostysChristmasInJuly'' review.
22	---->''"[Christmas In July] just serves as a sad excuse for stores to sell outdated stock, TV networks to fill dead time slots, and [[SelfDeprecation third-rate internet celebrities to cover up embarrassingly long schedule slip-ups by doing holiday specials in the middle of Summer]]."''
23	* ScheduleSlip: As of late, there's been a tendency to have a few months between videos.
24	* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Because of Website/YouTube's infamous treatment of Fair Use, he has stopped using the site to host his videos. Now he only uses his [=YouTube=] page to post trailers that link to the full videos on his website.
