* In ''VideoGame/SpiderManTheMovie'' Johnny is completing the stealth based mission involving sabotaging OSCORP's research on chemical weapons. After being chased by the security bots and reduced down to a sliver of his health, Johnny gets into a room full of lasers. He zip-lines to the ceiling, only to find that the ceiling has a very tight grid of lasers on it too. Had Johnny been an inch or two off to the either side, he would have set off the security alarm again, and most likely gotten killed.

* Johnny in the Zelda Marathon defending his opinion of Link to the Past > Ocarina of Time WHILE fully understanding and accepting why this is seen as the MagnumOpus of the Zelda series, and considering he's not even a big Zelda fan makes this all the more impressive.

* During Session 4 of the VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Twitch livestream, Johnny was able to exploit a strategy to get a literal DiscOneNuke, by allowing Barret to get thrown out of the battle by a [[DemonicSpider Midgar Zolem]], and having Red XIII ''just'' survive the aforementioned DiscOneNuke, allowing Red XIII to learn it and promptly use it to finish off the enemy.
* A moment for Presea during the last boss of VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia's bonus dungeon where she goes toe-to-toe with [[spoiler: the memory Mithos]], taking half his health bar all on her own before Lloyd can finish off the other two opponents and help her out. During the video, you can often spot her and her foe in the background as Matt takes care of the others.
* ED Annunziata, the creator of VideoGame/EccoTheDolphin, has [[http://twitter.com/edannunziata/status/570663720075939840 seen Johnny's review of the series and enjoyed it]].
* Elliot once again winning Mario Party 10 with a come from behind victory to beat out Matt and Johnny both by 1 star!
* During the VideoGame/SonicHeroes (Team Rose) LP, during the second Emerald Special Stage, everyone breaks into an impromptu acapella rendition of the Sonic 2 Special Stage theme. It's actually rather fitting.
** Also during the Team Rose LP, Elliot beats the Egg Albatross, by repeatedly and recklessly spamming the homing attack. ''Right over a chasm.'' Given the physics of Sonic Heroes and the fact that one hit from a stray projectile would knock him into the chasm, this could have blown up quite spectacularly in his face, but he came out on top with an A-rank for the boss!

Made even more impressive by the fact that Elliot was able to work with a strategy of checking the lights and then looking at the camera in Pirate Cove to basically prevent Foxy from ever moving, as well as preventing himself from being caught!
