- The Monochrome Boys taunt Roger for his 256 color VGA graphics. But they are also 256 color VGA — that's a lot of different grayscales, and even some blue tints! They are as ill-fitting as Roger! It gets better when playing the 16-color EGA version, when their insults change accordingly.
- Vohaul seemingly grabbing the Idiot Ball at the end when grappling Roger. Seriously, what the hell was he thinking? It could only go two ways:
- If he kills Roger before he could breed, his son won't be born, which means his brand new body will die by Ret-Gone.
- If he doesn't, Roger grapples him into the Brain Upload beam, and saves the day. Did he hope to Take a Third Option and merely incapacitate Roger and submit him to a Fate Worse than Death while keeping him alive?
- Vohaul probably wasn't thinking that far ahead... or probably figured if anything went wrong, he could just load a save game.
