1* ColbertBump: Due to his tendency to play fairly obscure games, there are probably several. However, the biggest example would have to be ''VideoGame/LaMulana''. The vast majority of fans of the game, especially western fans, can be traced to DC's LP of the game.
2* CreatorBreakdown:
3** He had one of these in the middle of his ''Shadowrun'' LP all because his viewers tried to correct his pronunciation of the name "Kitsune" complete with TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and disabling the comments for several parts. Whether this was for comedy purposes is still unknown.
4** Losing a suspend-save right before the final boss in [[spoiler:''VideoGame/HandOfFate'' due to a patch changing the layout of the unlock tree, as well as the creators being unable to do anything about it,]] resulted in him [[RageQuit calling the LP off]], regretting ever starting it, and telling his viewers not to buy the game.
5** Towards the end of ''VideoGame/LaMulana2'', he ran into a GameBreakingBug introduced in a patch that left him locked in a boss room, unable to warp away. This would be the tipping point for his frustrations with the game's developers, and rather than perform the suggested workaround, he suspended his playthrough until it was fixed, which would not be for months, and by then he was so angry with Nigoro that he continued putting off finishing the game for many months more. When he was finally able to bring himself to resume playing, he simply completed the remaining puzzles, beat the final boss, and [[TranquilFury cut off his commentary very curtly]]. He has since gone on record he will not return to the game no matter what features are added later, and has lost any goodwill he had for the project. He seems to have eased up on his attitude, having played a randomized run of the game since then. Time will tell if he plays the DLC or not.
6* EnforcedMethodActing: According to an interview, DC knew that the [[VideoGame/LaMulana Hell Temple]] reward would be [[spoiler:a skimpy swimsuit]], but ''not'' that [[spoiler:the game would show a ''full-screen'' portrait of Lemeza wearing it]], and thus his [[HeroicBSOD screams and cries of agony]] were for real.
7* OfficialFanSubmittedContent:
8** Every character he made in his ''VideoGame/{{Cocoron}}'' LP (except the first, who was created by dice roll) was submitted by a fan. After he made the sixth character, he allowed fans to vote for which character to use and area to go to for the next episode.
9** Starting with his ''VideoGame/AxiomVerge'' LP, he's allowed fans to submit joke thumbnails based on an in-game template (the saving room in ''Axiom Verge'', the dialogue screen from ''VideoGame/LaMulana2'', etc.)
10* PlayingAgainstType: His [=LPs=] of Creator/{{Nifflas}}' games (''VideoGame/{{Knytt}}'', ''VideoGame/KnyttStories'', and ''VideoGame/WithinADeepForest'') feature DC at his least hammy--he's almost sedate.
11** He was fairly reserved in the first few episodes of ''VideoGame/ActRaiser'', as well
12** As he explained when he went back to his usual hammy-ness for ''VideoGame/ActRaiser'', he did so because so many people asked him if he was depressed or if something was wrong because he wasn't at his usual level of energy. As he put it: "Apparently if I don't talk like a game show host, everyone assumes I'm depressed."[[note]]This could be attributed to DC getting a new recording setup (listen to how much clearer his voice is compared to the previous LP) that doesn't require him to shout everything so his microphone can pick up his voice.[[/note]]
13* PromotedFanboy: NIGORO, the development team behind ''VideoGame/LaMulana'', liked his LP of the game so much that they mentioned him in the site's official blog. He would also later go on to beta-test the remake.
14* WhatCouldHaveBeen: He has heard about the animé series ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', and has passed up the suggestion to make a LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/GriefSyndrome'', a fan-game that is based on that series.
