** His entire ''VideoGame/BastardBonds'' review is a compilation of corpsing moments, the most prominent of which is the 4:50 mark, which has Sseth bursting into an uncontrollable laughing fit that he had to break out of by segueing into a sponsorship plug.

** His ''[[VideoGame/BloonsTowerDefense Bloons 6]]'' review as briefly taken down due the video [[NoFairCheating showing how to use a cheat engine]] to get infinite Monkey Money (the game's premium currency). It was later restored the same day, but with the cheat engine portion of the video blurred out.

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: His ''Space Station 13'' review claims it's a fantastic game he would rate 10 out of 10, but also a game people ''shouldn't'' play for a variety of reasons, chief among them that the servers would melt down from the sheer number of people he'd bring in. This ended up being exactly what happened, because he followed up this claim by sharing several anecdotes of his own time playing, each of ended in a hilarious and/or ludicrous fashion:
** He got banned from practicing medicine on one server after being caught surgically replacing another player's hands and feet with pizza, then later got banned from that server entirely for interrupting several furry roleplay sessions by flashbanging the room, handcuffing the participants, then spacing the room with C4 charges planted outside.[[note]]Not that it mattered in the long run anyway, since the server died a few weeks later, supposedly because the host's mom discovered the bill for hosting it[[/note]]
** On the next server, he supplied a clown player with space lube. Said clown promptly killed almost the entire server with it by lubing the entire hallway in front of medical so that people slipped all the way down the hallway and out an airlock he'd hacked open.
** For his first time as a traitor, he was given the job of assassinating the head of security, which he decided to do by taking a griefer, [[WhyAmITicking shoving voice-activated bombs inside him]] and then loading him down with illegal weaponry so that he'd detained on possession charges and blow the head of security up. Sseth set the trigger phrase to be the N-word, "the word most likely to be spoken" by him, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard and ended up blown up]] because the guy didn't even leave the room before he used it.
** He got to play as a cultist for one round, which went horribly, chiefly because a janitor happened to find him and his cultists performing a ceremony in the maintenance halls, then [[SlipperySkid incapacitated them by swabbing the floor]] long enough to get free and alert security.
** One session he joined in progress just in time for "penis inspection day". The doctor performed the inspection, and all was well until Sseth tried to leave, at which point the doctor shouted "ARSE NATH", blowing off Sseth's ass with magic and promptly wearing it as a hat while Sseth bled out on the floor.
** In another, he joined cargo in declaring independence from the rest of the station, which they managed to win through a combination of conveyor belts, banana peels and hacked soda machines which trapped anyone that tried to stop them, constantly slipping on banana peels while the machines pelted them with soda cans.
** In the last session he details, he discovers as part of the science division that the pneumatic cannon can force-feed players at a distance. He and his accomplice went to the chemist to acquire vast amounts of hallucinogenic drugs, resorting to manufacturing their own when the chemist denied them, then laced several pastries with those chemicals and forcefed the rest of the station. The other players congratulated them on their discovery, fell into chaos a minute later when the hallucinations began, then once those were over [[KarmaHoudini arrested the chemist because they assumed he was behind it]].
