Added DiffLines:

* HostilityOnTheSet: InUniverse, Civvie hates his producers/{{wardens|AreEvil}} [=AX3=] and [=H4MM3R=], who in turn inflict a variety of tortures onto him like electrocution, [[EyeScream "ocular perforation"]], and playing awful games. This is also Civvie's relationship with video editor Katie as the show has gone on, with the two actively digging at each other into the video, like Civvie forcing Katie to watch ''Series/KitchenNightmares'' to capture Gordon Ramsey clips, or Katie tricking Civvie into quoting Creator/MontyPython and getting him tortured for it.


Added DiffLines:

* OddlySmallOrganization: The Department of Special Corrections is a massive underground United States-funded prison complex with hundreds of prisoners within its walls, wardens to manage all these homicidal prisoners, other staff for stuff like cooking Nutraloaf, and even [[ArtifactCollectionAgency a vault where they keep all the cursed objects from throughout the show]]. You can count the number of main characters with a single hand, and you won't need many more if you also include those with one-off or scattered appearances.


Added DiffLines:

* PanopticonOfSurveillance: Civvie's new jail cell starting with the ''Prey'' video features one of these: the prison cells are observed by a tall, lit-up tower with windows facing every direction, but the people inside just barely visible.

** The lamest pun reaction yet comes in the ''VideoGame/SoldierOfFortune'' video. While reviewing the game's history, Civvie notes that the main voice actor is named "Todd Susman. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Todd]]. [[Memes/AmongUs Sus]]man." Less than 10 seconds later, his noticing that the game isn't on Platform/{{Steam}}, only on Platform/GogDotCom cracks a pun that it's "a bit Todd Susman if you ask me". [=AX3=] considers this a level 10 actionable pun, the most severe so far at the video's release, and for this Civvie is immediately sent to the Clown room. Because the first time the Clown Room was used was when Civvie tried to nuke the DOSC Nutraloaf factory, this implicitly means that [=AX3=] considers bad ''Among Us'' jokes to be [[DisproportionateRetribution as bad as nuclear mass homicide]].

to:

** In the ''Alpha Prime'' video, Civvie wields a hammer while activating BulletTime and promptly cracks a [[Music/MCHammer "hammer time"]] pun. [=AX3=] shocks him, as usual, but Civvie then proceeds to also cue [=H4MM3R=] into the joke. [=H4MM3R=] verbally tears Civvie a new one, as he (implicitly) breaks one of Civvie's bones with a hammer.

* BloodyHilarious: In the F.E.A.R. video, Civvie shoots Norton Mapes in the face, which results in him spraying blood filled with Cheetoes everywhere which fills up first the scene, then his computer, then his cell, then the entire corrections facility.

Added DiffLines:

* ChallengeRun: Civvie has been known to dabble in these for certain games.
** By far his most well known and memetic one was in the "Pro Postal" series, where he made it his mission to complete the ''entire'' game while under the effects of a Health Pipe.
** For "Pro Doom", since he knew the game inside and out after playing it for years, he sets a series of guidelines for the videos, such as no mouse look, no saving (meaning dying would send him to the start of the level with only the pistol), and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking drinking an expired can of Monster Energy after clearing an episode]].

Added DiffLines:

* CapitalismIsBad: A recurring theme when Civvie details the history/future of a game studio who made whichever game he's playing for a video is that capitalism ends up ruining them, usually via being bought and absorbed into a larger company to make games that Civvie likes a lot less than what they made previously. This gets lampshaded in the ''Chex Quest'' episode, in which he offhandedly mentions that the second episode of ''Chex Quest'' was ChristmasRushed[[invoked]] and that the brand was sold off later that same year.
-->'''Civvie''': "Guess what, motherfuckers, this video has corpo bullshit in it too!"

Added DiffLines:

* BreathlessNonSequitur: Upon seeing the cereal AdjacentToThisCompleteBreakfast in ''Chex Quest'', Civvie takes a tangent to describe how cereals generally appeared in commercials: "they would show like cereal and a whole pitcher of milk and orange juice and toast and a muffin and a whole bowl of fruit and then [[Advertising/CapnCrunch some fucking cum golems would steal your Crunch Berries]]."

Added DiffLines:

* HurlItIntoTheSun: In the ''VideoGame/{{Zortch}}'' episode Civvie speculates that this is what you do to Flemoids; while ''Chex Quest'' insists that you're merely "[[NeverSayDie Zorching]]" them back to their home planet, Civvie points out that "you could be teleporting them to the upper atmosphere of their planet for all you know". Complete with a graphic of a Flemoid [[ExplosiveDecompression exploding in the vacuum of outer space]].


Added DiffLines:

** In the ''Zortch'' episode, there's a moment where Civvie [[AudienceParticipation asks the viewer to vote whether they eat hot dogs lengthwise or widthwise]] via their Platform/{{Ouya}} controllers. All five of the votes are in favor of eating them wide, which convinces Civvie that people who watch the show on an Ouya are disgusting.


Added DiffLines:

** When discussing ''Chex Quest'', Civvie at one point describes that he's "spooning these Flemoids". He means that he's [[ImprobableWeaponUser using a spoon to zortch them]], then promptly realizes that it doesn't sound right to say that -- accompanied with a photo of a woman affectionately cradling a dakimakura with an image of a kissing Flemoidus Commonus on it.

* BlackBlood:
** The ''Hatred'' episode sees Katie editing the footage to hue shift all red things (which includes the copious amounts of blood) to the advertiser-friendly green.
** Inverted for laughs in the ''VideoGame/ChexQuest'' episode: for a gag, Civvie tells Katie to edit the footage so that the Flemoids -- normally an innocuous green slime color -- are turned bright red, then into a darker, bloodier shade of red.

* SincerityMode: During ''3D Realms Vibe Check'', he takes a minute to actually turn off the schtick for the video to the point of showing a little bit of how his virtual set in the Unreal Engine works, and to both thank his viewers for allowing him to continue making the show as a full-time job, but also make it clear that if he is going to make a video about a bad game, it needs to not just be bad, but entertainingly bad, and he ''REALLY'' doesn't want to make videos trashing indie developers for any reason unless they absolutely deserve it. It also sets up why he goes so hard in on Slipgate Ironworks and their influence on 3D Realms; their shovelware approach to game development could, in his opinion, potentially kill 3D Realms for a second time from their bad practices, and he cannot abide by that.

** Civvie himself hates the Sewer Count running gag. If whatever game he's playing {{Shoutout}}s ''Civvie's Dungeon'' by referencing the Sewer Count, he's not going to be happy about it, and depending on how he feels, Sewer Count references will incur additional points to the Sewer Count.

** The Sewer Level counter, which increases for each one Civvie comes across. Though it isn't exactly linear, with exceptionally bad levels (and on rare occasions, levels that stand out as more sewer even if they aren't necessarily bad by sewer level standards, such as Hrot's sewage treatment plant) adding more to the counter. [[spoiler:The counter breaks after the abysmal sewer level in ''Redneck Rampage'' [[RunningGagged and briefly disappeared]]...until "Realms Deep Roundup", when Civvie notices [[ShoutOut a "Does this sewer count?" graffiti tag]] during the sewer level from ''White Hell'', which causes it to [[RiseFromYourGrave rise from its grave]].]]
*** He has a similar count for the amount of [[NukeEm nuclear warheads]] he has fired in games. This practice started with his playthrough of [[VideoGame/ShadowWarrior1997 the original Shadow Warrior]], hence why the counter is accompanied by a Lo Wang voice clip whenever it makes an appearance.

Added DiffLines:

* AllStarCast: {{Invoked}}, for Civvie highlights ''Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition''[='s=] developers as being a match made in heaven: Creator/NightdiveStudios (known for making excellent ports of retro shooters) teaming up with Creator/NewBloodInteractive (which contains most of the original creative staff of the ''ROTT'' reboot) produces an extremely high-quality port of ''ROTT'' which, in Civvie's mind, is better treanment than what he thinks the game actually deserves.


Added DiffLines:

* PolishedPort: [[invoked]]Civvie's opinion on ''Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition''. He believes that every ''ROTT'' fan will want this port, it vastly exceeds his expectation for what a ''ROTT'' port should have strived for, and his video title admits that he's shilling the game.

''Civvie 11'' (also known as ''Civvie's Dungeon'') is a Website/YouTube channel focusing on video games. Civvie reviews retro games from the FirstPersonShooter genre, modern shooters inspired by retro FPS games, and the occasional film, typically [[VideoGameMoviesSuck adaptations of the games he's covered]]. His "Pro" series features humorous overviews of Civvie's experiences playing certain games. In other words, they're a scripted hybrid of a review and LetsPlay.

** For 2023, Civvie finally decides to review ''TNT: Evilution''... InTheStyleOf Platform/TikTok videos (and uploaded to Website/YouTube Shorts), dragging it out by [[OverlyLongGag reviewing one level a day]]. A comment he drops early in the first map is that [[InterfaceScrew he actually is playing with a portrait mode aspect ratio]], and GoshDangItToHeck is applied very excessively, such as Pain Elemental being {{Sound Effect Bleep}}ed and later replaced with "Plane Elemental".
