- Banned in China:
- The site is banned in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. And he's proud of it. (Turns out he was banned for a technicality, not content, but he thinks it still counts.)
- In a case of Un-Person, the site is also banned in stores or other workplaces associated with Apple, in such a way that suggests the site doesn't even exist at all (attempts to access it from those IPs instead redirect to a MacBook Pro ad).
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: Maddox is soft-spoken and level-headed in interviews. His voice in his videos is also much softer than one would expect from reading the website. Contrary to what people want to believe, Maddox doesn't take himself too seriously.
- One of Us: He plays a lot of video games, has a Twitch channel for streaming them, and has done positive reviews for Contra III and Ikaruga. The name "Maddox" also came from a 1980s mecha OVA by the name of Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01.
- Schedule Slip: Over the years Maddox has updated the site less and less, and at points gets an update about 1-2 times per year. However, it's getting better after the release of his second book.
"Now that my book is finished, I can get back to regularly not updating my website."
- Vaporware: There was once talk of making The Best Game in the Universe into an actual game, but it hasn't been mentioned for years and seems to have been abandoned.
