** When playing ''TTT'' on the main channel, he hears Duncan mention that he has a defibrillator, which allows traitors to revive their allies. Despite this, he leaves Zoey's body unprotected and allows Duncan to revive her, which results in both of them effortlessly gunning him down and Rythian more or less ''screaming'' at him for his incompetence.

** In ''Pixelmon'', his performance is initially rather poor, and his team constantly get their arses handed to them on a platter.

He voiced the orange spaceman in ''WebAnimation/{{Spacemen}}'' and the orange ninja in ''WebAnimation/{{Ninjas}}''.

His Website/YouTube channel can be found [[http://www.youtube.com/user/YogscastSjin here]].

!! Series featuring Sjin:

* ''WebAnimation/{{Ninjas}}''
* ''WebAnimation/{{Spacemen}}''

!! Sjin provides examples of:
* AffablyEvil: Part of his persona while playing ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Tekkit'' (he and LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} actually start bouncing jokes back and forth during their climactic showdown in ''Machinima/TheBlackrockChronicle''), whereas in real life you can drop the "evil" part.
* ArchEnemy:
** To Strawfingers in ''LetsPlay/FeedTheWorld''. Beforehand, [[LetsPlay/DuncanJones Duncan]] and LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} took this place in various ''Minecraft'' series.
** LetsPlay/KimRichards has it in for him now, after he betrayed her for Sips.
* ATeamFiring: Sjin ''stinks'' at shooting in ''Murder''.
* CassandraTruth: In ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'', he outright declares at the start of a round of ''Murder'' that he is the murderer. Nobody believes him until he actually pulls out a knife in front of someone who survives long enough to shout out.
* ChewToy: Treated as such in the ''LetsPlay/JaffaFactory Tekkit'' series.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Has shades of this with NaiveNewcomer LetsPlay/KimRichards in episode 25 of ''LetsPlay/FeedTheWorld''.
* CombatPragmatist: Sjin is good at being the murderer in ''Murder'' since he can simply wait it out and backstab.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite getting frequently pushed around, he keeps LetsPlay/SipsCo running and in the ''LetsPlay/JaffaFactory'' series [[spoiler: through his manipulation of LetsPlay/{{Sips}} is revealed to secretly be the true CEO]], being considered more of a threat than his boss by LetsPlay/ZoeyProasheck and LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} in ''Machinima/TheBlackrockChronicle''. He's also a generally good gamer in spite of his eccentric mannerisms.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: One of the reasons he was able to get away with [[CassandraTruth claiming to be the murderer]] in one round of ''VideoGame/GarrysMod Murder'' is because many trolls pretend to be the murderer. Sjin exploited this for full effect and killed everyone.
* DeadpanSnarker: Most obviously to LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} in their ''[[VideoGame/{{Trine}} Trine 2]]'' LetsPlay.
* TheDragon / NumberTwo:
** To LetsPlay/{{Sips}} in their ''VideoGame/Minecraft'' videos.
** He also briefly behaves this way towards Sips in their ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}}'' V gameplay, notably when he joins Sips [[spoiler:in trying to revolt and overthrow LetsPlay/LewisBrindley]].
* EpicFail: Despite his mostly good gaming skill, Sjin really does have some terrible moments.
** His performance in ''Pixelmon'' has been relatively subpar. He starts with Snivy and then manages to level up quickly, so far so good. But then Snivy's movepool expands and he uses Tackle in favour of better moves such as Vine Whip. This means battles that should be his are contested much more than they otherwise would be.
** In the first video of ''VideoGame/GarrysMod Murder'', Sjin is the only bystander left and LetsPlay/{{Sips}}, the murderer, is chasing him down with the knife. Midway through the chase, Sjin confusedly asks Sips [[TooDumbToLive if he is the killer]]. Sips can only reply ''[[SarcasmFailure ... no?]]'', then he just runs with it, saying that [[RefugeInAudacity he only has the knife out to "protect" them from the]] ''[[RefugeInAudacity real]]'' [[RefugeInAudacity killer, who could be anywhere]].
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx5wd1AA1AM this episode]] of ''Murder'', Sjin manages to successfully bluff the others into thinking he isn't the murderer, but then bumps into LetsPlay/SimonLane in a vent and after a brief chat kills him, causing Simon to loudly scream. The others ''immediately'' know he's responsible.
** A general rule for ''Murder'' is that Sjin cannot shoot to save his life.
* TheFundamentalist: In ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} V'', he plays this during one of the seasons, with a fictional religion called "Sjintoism". The guys get annoyed by this, in no small part because their towns are being converted to it.
* GeneralFailure: His skills in ''Pixelmon'' leave something to be desired.
* GenreSavvy: When playing ''Murder'', Sjin sees LetsPlay/SimonLane running up towards him in a room with only one exit. He immediately tells Simon to fuck off, aware that he's probably the murderer. It's not clear whether or not Sips and Simon gave it away beforehand, mind. He later starts barricading the room he's in so that the murderer will be delayed enough to be shot dead.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: From LetsPlay/SimonLane's perspective. [[spoiler:He gets fired from LetsPlay/SipsCo]] in Episode 14 of the ''Tekkit LetsPlay/JaffaFactory'' series and tries joining Simon and LetsPlay/DuncanJones. Unfortunately, Simon keeps beating him with a stick and calls him the worst employee ever. He then leaves, with Simon then firing him.]] Later on, he does reform for real.
* MotorMouth: The guy can spew out information fast.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: His ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' avatar's mankini skin.
* NeverLiveItDown: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTv3MftkK9k According to a story Sips and Turps told]], Sjin bought a plush of Maximus from ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' while in America and had to throw out a pair of jeans in order to make it fit. [[InvokedTrope This is something no one else in the Yogscast will let him forget]]. Ever. Sjin claims this isn't true, for what it's worth.
* NiceHat: Almost never seen without a beanie whenever his face appears in videos.
* PungeonMaster: For all things ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' related in his and LetsPlay/DuncanJones' ''Pixelmon'' series.
* RunningGag:
** [[IncrediblyLamePun Whose ranium?]] in the ''LetsPlay/SipsCo'' series.
** Rambling on about how coal is something you need, but once you get a lot of it, you stop thinking you need it, and then when you run out you realize you need it.
** Mahogany doors. Mahogany doors. Mahogany doors. [[BrokenRecord Mahogany doors.]] [[OverlyLongGag Mahogany doors.]] [[MadnessMantra Mahogany doors.]]
* OneManArmy: In "Race for the Wool" with LetsPlay/LewisBrindley, LetsPlay/DuncanJones and LetsPlay/{{Sips}}), he grabs a bow and starts racking up kills like there's no tomorrow.
* RedemptionDemotion: In ''Murder'', Sjin stinks at shooting with the revolver (granted, it's not the most accurate weapon, but still). To contrast, he's lethal as the murderer.
* RedemptionPromotion: After Sjin reforms in the ''LetsPlay/JaffaFactory'' series, [[spoiler:he becomes a lot more competent and becomes an efficient worker]]. Granted, TheReveal proved he wasn't quite so stupid anyway, but it became even more noticeable afterwards.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: His old ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' skin, which was him in a mankini and nothing else. He's since put more clothes on.
* TooDumbToLive:
** He basically destroyed the ''LetsPlay/YogscastVoltz'' server by detonating a red matter bomb underneath their base, while trying to mine for copper, though to be fair he had no idea what it was at first. Then they decided to [[UpToEleven find the wormhole after the server has been fixed]], only stopping because the ocean prevents them from finding the chunk it's in. Their solution to this? Try building yet another red matter bomb, because that worked so well the first time.
** He was also the one that kept falling to his death in ''Tekkit'' a lot as he forgot his flying ring.
** In ''LetsPlay/{{MarsQuest}}'', he gets fatally electrocuted by an electric face ''twice in as many minutes''.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With LetsPlay/{{Sips}} in their ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Let's Plays, as well as any other series where they're partnered together.
* VocalDissonance: His voice sounds surprisingly nasal given his real life appearance.
* WildCard: In ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} V'', LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} is understandably rather skeptical as to Sjin's allegiance, given how in a single game (well, series) he can backstab rather well.
