History LetsPlay / TippingForties

--> '''topiKal''' "Get out of here X!"

* [[VideoGame/DarkSouls Let's Play Dark Souls]], an ongoing VLP by Geop, co-starring Vicas and Kuvo [[http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3493343 [link]]]

* Determinator: Alex drank a lot of Cake Vodka during the Webathon, and passed out around hour 4. The T40s intended to cancel his segment "What Can Alex Eat" which was last, but when the segment came around Alex rose from the grave and [[EatThat ate some of the most disgusting combinations of food known to man.]]

* TakeThat: bandunk wastes no opportunity to take jabs at the labor unions of America. This comes through most in VideoGame/Shenmue.

* Determinator: Alex drank a lot of Cake Vodka during the Webathon, and passed out around hour 4. The T40s intended to cancel his segment "What Can Alex Eat" which was last, but when the segment came around Alex came back and [[EatThat ate some of the most disgusting combinations of food known to man.]]

** Also Final Fantasy X-2 (with each episode as it went on finding more hate and something similar to depression) and to a degree Fable II.

--> '''bandunk:''' "*to Wifedunk* How many dresses do you have?"

* HaveIMentionedIAmGay?: In FalloutNewVegas, the crew picks the [[GayOption Confirmed Bachelor]] perk for Raddunk early on, so that he can flirt with other gay men. However, bandunk always picks the regular Speech checks instead because he wants the experience, much to his friends' chagrin. They end up going the entire game without a single gay speech check.

** VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet2 sees the return of this, most prominently in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCFbsvw9FkM custom level episodes.]]

** Yes Man in FalloutNewVegas.

--> '''Benson:''' "Man, you could've fucked a black guy! [[BlackIsBiggerInBed Can you imagine how big his dick would've been?"]]

--> '''Ryan:''' "I'm disappointed in you, Bandunk."
--> '''Alex:''' "I fuckin' hate you, Bandunk. [[RunningGag Fuck Bandunk.]]

--> '''Benson:''' "Damn, that was a big no!"

* CantHoldHisLiquor: Bandunk is always the most noticeably drunk at the end of each session.

--> '''Bandunk:''' "Good strategy."
--> '''Benson:''' "Why would the guy tell him that's his strategy when he comes in? "I'm gonna run at you!""

--> '''Bandunk:''' "I've had it up to HEEEERE with these X!"
--> '''Benson''' "Get out of here X!"

--> '''Alex:''' "This guy's ''298!''"
--> '''Benson:''' "He's so huge."
--> '''Alex:''' "He weighs ''triple my weight!''

* ItGetsBetter: "Don't worry, it gets really good after this" is often heard early in the early, slower parts of the FFX LP. The crew starts lampshading it and it eventually names an episode.

* LarynxDissonance: Anyone who voices a female or young character...except bandunk.

* PirateParrot: topiKal got one after moving to Los Angeles. It likes to sit on his shoulder and squawk into the mic. Can be seen [[http://www.twitch.tv/topikal/b/348754776 here.]]

* TheShowMustGoOn: See WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties. Lost or defective recordings, broken equipment, or corrupted save files have yet to stop them from their surprisingly good schedule track record.

* MomentOfSilence: In Episode 41 of VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas, the crew takes a moment to remember the recently passed [[Wrestling/RandySavage Macho Man Randy Savage]]. The moment of silence lasts for about five seconds, after which the crew starts yelling his catchphrases and reminiscing about the funniest things he did.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: [[http://tippingforties.com/Videos.aspx?key=459 Episode 56]] of the Fallout: New Vegas LP. Because bandunk was playing VideoGame/LANoire at the time, he kept holding down the R2 button in NV, thinking it'd make him move faster.

* JewishComplaining: Bagelnoishe, the crew's AlternateCharacterInterpretation of Noise from VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia.

!!'''Other Projects:'''!!
* Tipping Forties Podcast, their weekly podcast [[http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsz31gTLKEYQD6ZBs0cWe_54R7Tul3GtO [link]]]

* [[http://www.twitch.tv/topikal TopiKal]] - Benson's channel, where he streams mostly adventure games (co-starring [[TeamPet Kiki the parrot]]).

They also did a [[http://www.tippingforties.com/project.aspx?key=27 weekly Podcast]].

* RefugeInAudacity: This exchange during the Sinspawn Gui fight in FinalFantasyX.
--> '''Benson:''' "Do you think that two arms that are not as good would make up for having one arm that is really good?"
--> '''Bandunk:''' "No. I think that having one arm would be better than two super-skinny crappy arms."
--> '''Benson:''' "Well, obviously there are semantics involved, like people will think you're a freak, but just in terms of usefulness?"
--> '''Bandunk:''' "The only thing it would be good for is [[ADateWithRosiePalms giving yourself a handjob while sticking a finger in your butt."]]
--> '''Benson:''' "I think you already have that ability."
--> '''Bandunk:''' "Yeah, but then you jerk off ''another'' guy, ''while'' you stick your finger in your own butt, using the same arm."

* ScheduleSlip: Averted hard. After getting their save-file in {{Shenmue}} corrupted, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Kuvo sat down and played the entire game up to that point again]]; it took him six hours to get back to where they left off.

On May 27th, 2012 they announced their, which meant the end of the podcast as well as everything else that had the T40 name on it. However, Kuvo and topiKal continue doing Let's Plays (with bandunk joining in on the weekly [[http://www.twitch.tv/kuvosa streams]]), and topiKal has expressed interest in doing a new podcast. Though the official company has been dismantled and the website removed from the net, the original members will often refer to themselves still as the Tipping Forties on the livestreams Kuvo and Benson do.

* VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots

* Fugitive Hunter - War on Terror

* [[VideoGame/ScottPilgrim Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game]]

* VideoGame/FableII
* VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2
* Grab Bag Where they play various shorter, single-session games.

** They've also challenged fans to make a collection of every drunken song they've ever done. Considering how often they sing and how many videos they have (5 videos a week nearly every week for about a year and a half at this writing, with little to no ScheduleSlip), it would be quite the challenge.
* EasterEgg: How they hint at new LP's nowadays. They'll hide images in the programming of their website that give small hints, leading the thread to hunt and guess.

* NonActionSnarker: bandunk tends not to play in any of their single-player LPs, choosing rather just to lampshade and snark at-will. As the other T40s tend to point out, he isn't very good at games (except for VideoGame/Pilotwings, in which he was the best).
--> '''Ryan:''' If you didn't notice we leveled everyone up to level 16, which is the max, and gave them full stats and everything. Except for bandunk, who picked the level 1 Scott Pilgrim because he's stupid.

* NonActionSnarker: bandunk tends not to play, at least in [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4 MGS4]] and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX FFX]], choosing rather just to lampshade and snark at-will. At one point he just hands his controller to Bandunk's Wife to get her to play Raine so he could take a [[AccidentalPun rain check.]]
** Unprecedently broken for the New Vegas LP, in which bandunk takes the wheel. He's not particularly good at it.

** [[{{VideoGame/Shenmue}} Buff Cat]], who is so strong that he stops Ryo's forklift dead in its tracks just by walking in front of it. Kuvo likens him to a [[{{Franchise/StarWars}} Wolf Raider]].
--> '''Ryan:''' "Move, Buff Cat!"
--> '''Bandunk:''' "This is a work zone! Not a buff zone."
