bwburke94 - Television Tropes & Idioms

Max's Journey, a Pokémon anime fanfic detailing the adventures of Max during the DP arc. (Being rewritten, currently offline)
Reunion In The Morning Sun, a sequel fic to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky notable for its blatant fourth-wall breaking.
The Prologue Let There Be Light, a prologue to... something. May be an April Fools joke.
Other Names in the Death Note, an April Fools joke fic.

Tropes applying to bwburke94 himself:

Adult Child: He's in college, but that doesn't stop him from doing childish things sometimes.
Asperger Syndrome: Yeah, he's an aspie. His LPs were actually inspired by Chuggaaconroy who at the time frequently claimed he was autistic.
Game Mod: Both the games he plays and a few he is making.
Genre Savvy: Not only is he a troper, but he often takes advantage of the misconception that aspies Will Not Tell a Lie.
Hollywood New England: Averted, as with most actual New England residents. He's from western Massachusetts, which further distances himself from the trope.

Real Name as an Alias: His name is Brendan W. Burke. The 94 comes from the fact that the name "bwburke" was taken on his first email provider.

Complacent Gaming Syndrome: Averted, he mains Lucas in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (and Ness in Melee.)
I Knew It: He correctly guessed that the Legend of Zelda timeline was a three way MM/WW/LttP split from Ocarina of Time rather than the MM/WW two way split most people guessed.
Self-Imposed Challenge: Loads of them, including:
- Final Fantasy V: He's planning on attempting a no-mages run in the future.
- Madden NFL: Deleting every player on his team's roster and only signing rookies in free agency.
- Pokémon
  - Solo Character Runs are his most frequent challenge.
  - Monotype and Nuzlocke runs are planned for the future.
  - Oh, and you can't forget this upcoming attempt at catching 'em all...

Milestone Celebration
- Part 1 of Emerald was uploaded on the 16th anniversary of the original games. *
  Emerald is the 16th non-spinoff game in the series, including Japan-only and home console games.
- Part 1 of LeafGreen was uploaded on the 15th anniversary of the first episode of the anime. *
  In order to make this work in Japan Standard Time, it was actually uploaded a day earlier in America due to the 13-hour time difference.
Schedule Slip
- Due to losing his Colosseum disc, ultimately resulting in the cancellation of the LP.
- Emerald had a one-month break after PART 1. Wow. Parts 2 and 3 were uploaded on the same day, thankfully.
Shout Out: Several to other LPers and occasionally other works in Emerald:
- He makes several references to Chuggaaconroy's concurrent LP of the same game.
- He mentions HC Bailly, also stating that Final Fantasy games are too long for him to reasonably LP.

Berserk Button: Do not misspell the name of a major character in whatever work you are discussing. Especially on This Very Wiki.
Fandom Heresy: Among his many claims (both on and off-wiki):
- Final Fantasy IX is better than VII and VIII.
- The Star Wars Holiday Special is better than The Phantom Menace. (OK, he's not being serious with that one.)
