** Dak Fuel is Dak's own creation; a mixture of grain alcohol, powerade, habanero and ghost peppers, and an indefinite number and variety of hard drugs. It got [[spoiler:Tech]] addicted to the ''abstract concept'' of drugs.

* AmbiguouslyBi / AmbiguouslyGay: Most of the cast have had their moments by now.
** Particularly Dak; he even mentions having "a lotta girly mags... some boy mags... some, uh, robo mags..." hidden somewhere in Xanadu.

-->'''Gannon''': Fun fact about the Triremes, they make 'em easy to blow up because it's fun to watch.



* BloodSport: The illegal pit fights in Indianapolis are appropriately violent. The local Death Race, on the other hand, is actually planned in advance, so it's probably ''safer'' than the pit fights.
** The Living Race has a pretty consistent 90% mortality rate.



* DeathFromAbove: The Triremes get one massive artillery cannon each. The name of these weapons? ''Mother of God Cannons''.



* TankGoodness: The Triremes used in the Living Race are effectively massive ships on treads.



* WackyRacing: Death Racing involves a lot of heavy vehicle modification (they even let in a 16-wheeler) and is apparently a sort of mix between professional wrestling and illicit street-racing. Despite the name, the results are planned in advance by the organizers.
** The Living Race is conducted between two teams of twenty on giant war machines called triremes. The survivors of the winning trireme are then split into two teams themselves and so on and so forth. In contrast to Death Racing, the Living Race has a 90% fatality rate and is apparently not pre-planned at ''all''.
* WhatIf: The live show is a scenario that shows what would have happened if [=NeoScum=] had investigated the sewer line at the bottom of the crater in the Wad/Wab.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: The WAB (Wizard and Adept Brotherhood) is definitely ''correct'' in their views considering the government's tendency to round up and systematically murder magic-users. But since peaceful protests don't seem to work on the UCAS, they've taken territory in Denver and plan to assassinate the local UCAS representative.

** It's revealed that [[spoiler:Beans]] is getting this treatment from Big Marco. Of course, the amount of "rebuilding" ''necessary'' was initially minimal [[spoiler:since he'd only been shot twice]], but Dr. Stopps felt compelled to go further.

They settled on some immediate bonuses with a dice roll to determine whether you also get a hit of a number of hard drugs.
