* ''VideoGame/TrekToYomi'' (2022)

* AdvertOverloadedFuture: Linda's vision in 2020 is a constant stream of video game trailers and hype for the sake of hype alone.

* AllJustADream: The 2021 conference apparently was all just a dream Nina had after she fell asleep at her desk, judging by the ending.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Linda's plan is to create an endless train of hype, where the anticipation of a game will replace the game itself. However she never actually developed any of the ''content'' needed for such an endeavor and the 2020 direct quickly burns through all of the planned announcements and several unplanned announcements leaving her with nothing for the ending.

* FantasticallyIndifferent: When Carrion starts erupting from Stultz, Nina barely pays any attention. Once it fully emerges she starts critiquing Carrion on showing up too early.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Don. Despite also disliking Linda, Zane calls him a dick and he's more interested in keeping his job than getting out of the simulation.
** When he walks in on the group hug in the 2020 show Margaret chases him back out of the room.

* HappinessIsMandatory: During the 2019 conference Linda started overwriting Nina's personality with a perky, vacuous host like the standard E3 fare. This visibly unnerved Nina, who was eventually subsumed by the host personality.
* InsideAComputerSystem: Nina from the start of the 2019 conference to the end of the 2020 conference.

** Linda makes a sneaky and ''very specific'' Film/DemonKnight reference during the 2020 direct.

* [[WeCanRebuildHim We Can Rebuild Her]]: At the end of the 2018 show, after being shot in the chest multiple times, Nina is brought back to a life as a cyborg. In 2019 and 2020, they end up using her as a WetwareCPU for a digital direct event instead of an actual physical conference however.
