You can liken [playing Trespasser] to babysitting a big, lovable and slightly retarded child. You know he means well, but that doesn't stop him from dropping trou and shitting in the middle of the aisle in Costco from time to time.

Maybe you thought Battletoads was a game full of amphibians, but it is actually full of bugs. Those beta testers really should have spent a little more time on this game...
A gruesome software bug LEAPS out at you!

Diabetus: Don't be afraid.
slowbeef: What do you mean "don't be afraid?" Have you not played this?! Have you not been here the past, like, twelve or thirteen hours?! For all I know I could just fall through the floor for no goddamned reason in the next second.
Diabetus: Don't you want something that would be very watchable on YouTube?
slowbeef: That's true.

All: WOAH!
Ray: My game froze!
Michael: Holy shit! It did?!
Geoff: Oh, my God!
Michael: [Message reads "BrownMan left"] It fucking broke Ray's X-Box...!

Kirito: Geez... leave it to SAO to not only have a boss that glitches out and dies on its own, but also doesn't even flag the goddamned exit to open!
Tiffany: After all we've been through, it ain't even a boss that does us in. It's a damned game-breaking glitch. Can't even starve to death...
Klein: That would be a mercy...
Heathcliff: Now, now, cheer up guys! There's no need to be so melodramatic!
Player: Why not? Did you find a way out?
Heathcliff: Oh no, we're definitely going to die here. But we all gotta die sometime, right? At least we get to do it playing an awesome game!
Player: Pfft, "awesome?" You're kidding, right?
Heathcliff: Huh?
"Mafia Player": Come on, sir... do you really think any of us would still be playing if we didn't have a gun to our heads? You gotta admit, this game is kind of a hot mess.
Heathcliff: "Hot mess." Really. That seems a bit harsh.
Schmitt: Well, how else would you describe a game where players could just kidnap NPCs, the crafting system is seizure-inducing, and half the time our teleport crystals - one of our only lifelines - do nothing.
Klein: Yeah, nothing if you're lucky. Eeesh...
Heathcliff: (Mildly Annoyed) Okay, so the game has a few minor bugs, but this is groundbreaking technology we're talking about here. Real-Life Virtual Reality! Where's your sense of wonder?
Kirito: Hey, I'm with you old man. I love this Game, despite it's... shortcomings. But let's be real, even if it weren't trying to kill us, this game is a freaking Gordian Knot of terrible design. Face it, the only reason we all bought it was because it was the only launch title when: "Surprise, TRON suddenly became real."

"And as for Rei, he has potentially the funniest move in any video game, ever. See, he has a fairly standard Shoryuken. It's an alright move, not one of Rei's better tools, but it does the most damage of any move in the entire game.
Not to the opponent. To the game.
If you do an aerial boost with this move after performing the Grave Shoot attack, the move will hit an infinite amount of times, which causes the arcade board to overclock and start getting really, really hot, which can either damage the arcade machine permanently, or make it burst into flames! The wiki warns you "Don't use this move on real hardware, it could destroy it!""
