• James actually beating Bubsy 3D. With skillful make-up, acting, and editing, he demonstrated his frustrations with the game beyond the jokes most cover.
• His review of Banned Memories, a Silent Hill inspired horror game. The way he describes the game and showcases how terrifying it can be besides having PS1 graphics is phenomenal. Any fan of horror in general will love this review, because it talks about exactly how effective horror without jumpscares is.
• In his Frogger: The Great Quest review, James realizes the protagonist is no better than the Final Boss who was shoehorned into the game's climax. Following this epiphany, he handily tears into Frogger with a calm, but brutal speech:
  James: Yeah, I know, I know. This happened because Frogger wished for it, but, man, I dunno. I just really did not want this entitled, disgusting little frog to get that kiss. He just decides out of the blue that he gets to be a prince. He doesn’t earn it, there’s no character development through this plot, no! He just decides he gets what he wants, and the writers go, "Yeah!" I hate it! Think about this, too: like, Mario saves people out of his own desire to do good, right? But Frogger? No. He wished for this situation. He had to deliberately put somebody in danger to save them. And even then, he’s only saving them to get what he wants, not because he actually cares about people in need of rescue. That is pretty selfish! What an unlikeable character, man. It was bad enough that he’s annoying and uncomfortably strange throughout the entire game, but once I really put some thought into his motivations, I realized that it’s kinda messed up!
• His response to Jimmy Whetzel's... less than well researched review of Yokai Watch is something to behold. Not only does James manage to deconstruct every point that he disagrees with in a very intelligent and well-thought out manner, but he manages to do it all without making a single personal jab at Jimmy's expense. On a website where several gaming channels tend to Accentuate the Negative in not so graceful ways, James' professional and well-constructed rebuttal to a series that he's very fond of is amazing to see.
