  • Heartwarming Moments:
    • After his Headless Harn-induced meltdown at the end of "E3 2018/Episode 3: 32X", Robby opened the next episode up in pure, depressed, silence. When the callers came in, they each took the time to ask if he was okay, gave praise to his emotion-filled poem, and encouraged him to read his list of games that make him happy. Robby's transition from crying and hurt, to feeling uplifted by the words of his callers, was nice to see. The episode then ended with him saying an emotional goodbye to his fans.
    • The second-half of "I Did Nothing Wrong" is pure joy:
      • We finally get to see Alan's special report, which he'd been hyping up for two episodes, and was desperate to show Robby. It turns out to be a sweet report about Robby, where Alan even refers to him as "one of the coolest people I know, my personal hero, and my best friend". This is followed by a tearful hug between the two of them, mending the wounds caused by their fighting. Aww...
      • Alan proclaims he loves Robby, and then pulls out some lovingly hand-drawn pictures of him, such as one labeled "my hero", another with the two of them holding hands, and one of Robby proclaiming his love for Alan. They spend the whole time laughing, smiling, and reminiscing on their friendship.
      • Robby invites Alan to partake in the reading of the list, usually a personal and private activity for him. Alan is ecstatic. To top it off, the list is about games you can play with friends.
      • The episode ends with the two playing Zombies Ate My Neighbors together, encouraging a fan to play games with her friends, and then sitting in the dark together talking about their friendship and why it's important.
  • Realism-Induced Horror: Alan and Robby's fighting in season 2 is entirely scripted, as evidenced by the sheer fact that Alan had an entire post-credit scene talking to "Birdo" about it; but that doesn't make it feel any less real. With the entire show being portrayed as a live-streamed discussion about video games and video game conventions, having the co-hosts break into a major, on-screen argument seemed too genuine, especially with it being portrayed as a serious falling out. This genuine portrayal made the scenes a bit uncomfortable to watch.
  • Tear Jerker: After the fight in "I Did Nothing Wrong", Robby leaves, and Alan is clearly shaken. He sits alone, sadly answering callers, meekly stating that he hurt his friend and contemplating that he broke "the circle of trust". He repeatedly calls Robby's name, but to no avail, until he gets up and goes to find him. They then share a tearful talk, both clearly shaken and hurt.
