History Trivia / TheCynicalBrit

** Mentions that he reads TV Tropes in his February 15th 2012 Mailbox video, and is aware of his and Jesse Cox's pages.

** TB has stated that he despised his Terraria series, seeing as it spawned {{forced meme}}s and the viewership is highest when nothing was accomplished at all.

** TB is a fan of several other things unrelated to video games, which he will occasionally talk about in great detail. For instance, he is a huge fan of Creator/TerryPratchett (If [[Discworld/CarpeJugulum the source of the name "Total Biscuit"]] wasn't enough of an indicator) and has openly admitted to being a [[{{TabletopGame/Warhammer40000}} Warhammer 40k]] fanboy (during a video of his where he [[{{Squee}} squee'd]] all over [[VideoGame/Warhammer40000SpaceMarine a WH40K game]], no less).
*** Which he demonstrated in a Warhammer40k Roleplay wherein he (playing as a Mechanicus Acolyte) managed to out-nerd the GM.

** TB is causing a lot more attention to the game GodHand since he said that "if I find out one of you doesn't like this game, I'll personally come to your house and kill you."

** This has led to a bit of a RunningGag - if TB draws attention to a video, game, project, whatever, when his fans get there they will announce "The Cynical Fleet has arrived."
*** [[DiscreditedMeme He doesn't exactly approve of that.]]

** He recently presented his Arbitrary Awards 2014, in which one of the categories was "Most interesting Gaming Youtube channel that isn't mine". The winner, [[spoiler:[=XboxAhoy=]]] had a significant boost in subscription numbers following the video.

** He very much dislikes the video he did about the Kickstarter for the game ''Maia'', feeling it was bad journalism to demand his viewers support a Game made by an unproven developer, and feels he should never have made that video in the first place.

* StreisandEffect: The publishers of ''Videogame/DayOneGarrysIncident'' and ''Guise of the Wolf'' both garnered huge amounts of negative publicity when they tried to misuse Youtube's Copyright Notice feature to remove TB's reviews of the games (he panned both of them for being {{Obvious Beta}}s).

** His developer interview, developer commentary, and LetsPlay (with Lewis Brindley and Simon Lane of the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}) on ''VideoGame/{{Magicka}}'' led to a lot more exposure for the game.

* ShoutOut: During his ''[[VideoGame/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft Hearthsone]]: Lord of the Arena'' videos, he explicitly calls for the [[Manga/YuGiOh Heart of the Cards]] to come help him when he's in a hairy situation.

** His video on [[VideoGame/BrothersATaleOfTwoSons Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons]], where he praised the game as the best game he has played in his life so far, single-handedly put it to the Steam top ten best selling games, even pushing it to number six ahead of {{VideoGame/Saints Row IV}} for a while. It was 81st before the video.

** Lampshaded again in his latest video, "WTFree is Nitronic Rush?", where he posted the link to the games Torrent, so as to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=3p3o4d7JUTI#t=88snot break the developers site]].
