* ButtMonkey: '''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 Tails.]]'''
* EpicFail: During ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4'', Rick repeatedly insists he tested his video recording software ahead of time. So naturally, when they try to record... [[CriticalFailure they find themselves trying to play at roughly]] ''[[CriticalFailure one frame per second]]''. [[ReplacementScrappy Bring on]] ''KnucklesChaotix''!
** And when the video was finally uploaded? [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown It plays exactly the way it was supposed to.]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMu63hDItPY See for yourself.]]

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: During ''[[ChzoMythos 5 Days a Stranger]]'', John looks at the [=DeFoe=] Manor map to see what's there that he hadn't encountered before...

* InterfaceScrew: During ''[[ChzoMythos 5 Days a Stranger]]'' the laptop cursor is stuck in the center of the screen for the duration, and the game cursor tweaks out at random.
* MoodWhiplash: The first four episodes of ''[[ChzoMythos 5 Days a Stranger]]'' feature the hosts joking around about the camp nature of the game. Until [[spoiler:Day Three]]. John starts taking it a bit more seriously after getting properly creeped out by an 8-bit game.

* TemptingFate: Rick says pretty early on in ''[[ChzoMythos 5 Days a Stranger]]'' that there is no point where the game doesn't in some way direct you to the solution. Cue twenty minutes trying to figure out that the game wouldn't let John continue because [[GuideDangIt he didn't read the newspaper]].

* MissingEpisode: The group recorded roughly half of a LetsPlay of ''KirbySuperStar'' (while drinking heavily). Sadly, because the emulator recorded only the button presses and not the video itself, the exact playthrough could not be replicated and recorded.
