* BrokenBase: Over whether or not they provide constructive criticism or are just a bunch of entitled assholes nitpicking to high hell.
** This was apparent in the comments for the Winter Section of ''The Last of Us'', where detractors felt that their commentary went in a loop about how awesome the ''Left Behind'' DLC was, how much modern gamers suck for making it so Naughty Dog could only do ''Left Behind'' as DLC, with its primary gameplay being exploration and character depth over shooting, how much the gunplay sucks, and then back to ''Left Behind.'' Many people straight up said they were skipping the rest of the LP if this was where the comments were going.
* ClicheStorm: How they envision ''Half-Life 2'' as made by anyone but Valve.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: While they all have other characters they like in the Franchise/MassEffect series, they all love Mordin. Shamus even comments the first time they meet Mordin is the first time the entire Spoiler Warning crew stops snarking and listens.
* FridgeHorror: Josh manages to shut up the group's ranting about Little Lamplight with the question [[{{Squick}} "Where do the kids come from?"]]
* GeniusBonus: When Rutskarn proposes keeping a count of all the Skyrim characters they want to kill who are protected by PlotArmor, Shamus advises not storing it in a 16 bit integer[[note]]Assuming its an unsigned integer (unsigned basically means "can't be a negative number") Shamus is expecting to encounter at least 65,536 such characters[[/note]]
* GoodBadBugs: They've encountered several in each game they've played, somehow managing to find multiple in ''Half-Life 2'' of all things.
* HilariousInHindsight: During the Shadow Broker DLC, Shamus complained of the Shadow Broker's spaceship base as too over-the-top villainous, even making comparisons to [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]]. [[spoiler:Then it turns out that the Shadow Broker was actually a giant monstrous alien that wasn't too dissimilar to Bowser in appearance.]]
* MemeticBadass: Throughout ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'':
--> '''Mumbles''': Don't worry Josh, Mordin's got this covered.
** Although to be fair, Mordin did clear an entire room on his own once.
* RootingForTheEmpire: In Fallout 3, the group soon decided that the Enclave was really not much better than idiotic Brotherhood of Steel since both groups are fighting just to flip a switch.
* TheScrappy: Certain characters/factions quickly earn their ire.
** ''Fallout 3'': Three Dog (for his moralizing and railroading the player to go fix his satellite to progress the plot) and the entire Brotherhood of Steel for warring over the right to flip a switch.
** ''Mass Effect 2'': Miranda Lawson and Jacob Taylor (the former for being an incredibly stuck-up and smug bitch and the latter for being nothing more than TheGenericGuy). Cerberus as a whole serves as their BerserkButton due to Shepard being railroaded into being associated with them and no in-game way to actively work against them [[spoiler:until the end]].
** ''Fallout: New Vegas'': Once again, the Brotherhood of Steel are despised, though this time it's for their immensely [[{{Jerkass}} assholish (but canon) attitude]]. Similarly, the Boomers are also disliked due to their tendency towards firing upon anyone that comes at them and their tedious quest chain.
** ''Mass Effect 3'': Kai Leng is not only this, but an outright BerserkButton. In the case of James Vega, Shamus and Josh stated that while his [[TopHeavyGuy appearance]] is initially off-putting, he was RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap after they actually took the time to talk to him (though this doesn't stop Rustkarn from mercilessly mocking him).
** ''Dishonored'': The Outsider is generally disliked because of his incredibly bland voice actor and how despite being an eldritch god he failed to be interesting in any way.
** ''Skyrim'': While few of the characters are particularly liked, pretty much every NPC of [[WretchedHive Riften]] is severely despised due to being complete assholes. Maven Black-Briar holds a special place for not just being an utter bitch, but also a KarmaHoudini that's {{Plot Armor}}ed and unkillable.
* ThatOneLevel: The group ''hated'' Little Lamplight because of the extreme PlotHole it represented. And because the [[BrattyHalfPint kids]] weren't killable.
** The first level of ''Tomb Raider'' (2013) was disliked by Shamus and Chris because it had set up the personality and gameplay mechanics in an awkward and disjointed way.
** The final boss battle for ''Tomb Raider'' also counts.
** Any level with massive amounts of shootouts as a general rule gets this.
