The Church of Gaming started out as a minor chat Web site based on the religion from Ctrl+Alt+Del but split into its own multiverse with multiple stories and characters. It currently follows Adam, Austin, James and Scott as they lead the Church of Gaming. The stories can be read at http://churchofgaming.wetpaint.com/
Author Avatar: All the main characters are based and named for the people who created the site and write it. Most non-gaming character's are based on people the Authors are friends with.
Ax Crazy: Holton. After going mad, he kills multiple people in his company and eats some of them, all while screaming about the Gods' ignorance.
James, while central to the group, dosn't fit into the band concept too well, so he's kind of The Chick by default.
Four Temperament Ensemble: Adam is Sanguine, Austin is Choleric, Scott is Melancholic and James is Phelgmatic
Full Frontal Assault: Adam use to remove his pants before a fight to "prey on their fears", though he stopped after reaching a leadership role.
Groin Attack: Austin performs one on Nathanos Blightcaller, to no effect.
Hammerspace: Adam does not have a sheath for his crusader longsword but always has it on person.
Heroic Sacrifice: Dillon stays behind with a bomb to ensure Gravemind can't shut it down while the others escape. He dies in the explosion of the warehouse.
Only One Name: Austin, Adam, Scott, James, Tristan, Domerix, Dillon...
Our Zombies Are Different: Played straight and subverted. There are "normal" zombies that make up the bulk of the Swarm's footsoldiers, but most of them come from games with very diffrent zombies- the Flood, Fallout's Ghouls, Tanks from Left 4 Dead, Headcrabs from Half Life, Manny from Grim Fandango, Re-Dead from Legend of Zelda, and much more.
Physical God- The Gods can be directly interacted with and even killed with rather mundane methods.
Austin kills the God of Sport Games. With a single headshot from a handgun.
The Multiverse: The Church of Gaming takes place in Earth-21. You're reading this from Earth-1.
Boom Stick: Austin's Scepter. It can control the binary coding that makes up most objects, and can fire them as explosives.
Drop the Hammer: James has used a hammer on more than one occasion.
Cool Sword: Adam has a broadsword, The Twilight Archon has a swordish thing.
As of the Uber Wars II, Austin has an Ancestral Weapon Sword and Adam has a new, even more badass sword that splits into two smaller swords at the hilt.
Archer: Scott, like all Wump-Hunters, wields a bow. It works on Pac-Man Ghosts as well as it does on Wumpie.
More Dakka: The majority of the Church and Axis wield Assault Rifles, including most of the Rooks.
