History WebVideo / STAR

* AcceptableTargets: In-universe: STAR_ likes to make fun of {{otaku}}s when the situation calls for it. The most egregious examples are his 'Go! Go! Nippon!' and 'Basically-Videogame/{{Microvolts}}' videos.

** After all the trolling STAR_ subjected to his teammmates on '[=MvM=] Diaper Teleporter' video, he was eventually punished...by receiving a professional killstreak huntsman kit fabricator.

* PowerWalk: Parodies this in [[https://youtu.be/DwoxeB7Gv2Y Spooky Demo Arms]] where the Spooky Demo Arm glitch was exploited to become a surreal instance, complete with fade out of black and lens flare in the beginning of the clip.

* LongTitle:
** He proposed a new genre for types of games like ''VideoGame/{{Microvolts}}'' and called it 'Kawaii Desu Uguu~ Anime Boobufestuu'.
** STAR_ recommended a video for those viewers who hadn't heard of a "double donk". It was called 'Super Deluxe Ebony Mega Double Bubble Donk Bertha Booty', and essentially [[DontExplainTheJoke just consistied of a guy following a big girl around with his camera focusing on her ass.]]
*** Said video also received a [[ColbertBump massive spike in views and lots of comments on TF2 and STAR_]]... and then was taken down.
** There's a downplayed example in the 'Good Ole' Hightower' video, where STAR_ demonstrated a market gardener trick of doing a little pogo rocket jump and market garden the player that he expected to come. He initially called this trick 'The Matador Shovel' but he wanted a fancier name for that so he called it 'The Dirty Doublin' Doodler'.
** In [[https://youtu.be/YqYfLwHV-u4 [=TF=]2: 100% Orange Crit AK]], STAR_ almost immediately opens the video with this beautiful gem:
--> '''STAR_:''' "Okay. Starting now, I am going to be the RTV-RTD-roll-the-dice-champion-no-flame-war-kill-the-guy-pony-double-octopus-Half-Life-3-confirmed-I'm-going-in-the-paint-ham."
--> '''Jerma:''' "T-that's pretty good. That's a... [[LampshadeHanging that's a lot of adjectives]]."

* StupidStatementDanceMix: A minor one near the beginning of Jerma Is Mad Pt 3, where STAR_ took the 'Jerma vs STAR_' song from part 2, edit in a typical trance/house mix and use it when STAR_ zoomed into the kill feed to show that Dupspol is STAR_ and HEHRAHA KRITTY KAT is Jerma.

--> (cue a shot where [=Ma3laa=] saw a nest containing 3 sentries, [[WhatAnIdiot all side by side]]) '''[=Ma3laa=]''': PFFFTTTTTTT

* IncrediblyLamePun: a lampshaded example in Basically: Black Ops 2:
-->'''announcer''': Friendly UAV inbound.
--> '''a literal friendly UAV''': (in a Barney-like voice)Hey there buddy, how's it going?
--> *JOKEZ caption appeared across the screen*

* SpeedRun: STAR_ has done speed runs of Videogame/RogueLegacy and Super House of Dead Ninjas.
* [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Spell My Name With An Underscore:]] STAR_ is sometimes referred to as STAR (without the underscore).

* {{Gainaxing}}: In 'Basically-Scarlet Blade' video, STAR_ called the woman in a robot suit during class selection out for this trope, as well for the rest of the cast of Scarlet Blade.

* WeaponOfChoice: The [[DynamicEntry Market]] [[ShovelStrike Gardener]]. Also, the [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks Flying Guillotine]].

For many years, STAR_ was also a fairly active competitive ''[=TF2=]'' player, first for the 9v9 Highlander team named The Syndicate as a Heavy, then as a Sniper, Engineer, and Pyro at different points for Gangster Gang Gaming. They went on to win multiple Platinum games. He also played Scout for the 6v6 team Budsquad, and was backup for the Highlander team [=MURDERFORCE9000=].[[note]] [=MURDERFORCE9000=] is a reform of The Syndicate.[[/note]] From 2016 until 2020, he streamed ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' under Luminosity Gaming, and played for the US in the ''Overwatch'' World Cup 2016. Currently, he is working on ''The Myriad'', a computer RolePlayingGame meant to streamline TabletopRPG mechanics taking place in his own ConstructedWorld, while also streaming ''Myriad'' development and test sessions as well as whatever else he feels like on Website/{{Twitch}}.

--> '''STAR_''': Oh, oops! *Gets out his Kritzkrieg* I was too busy bolting you.
** Highlighted in [[http://youtu.be/FN8NK3lgeq8?t=2m33s Sniper_Stomper.]]
--> "I just hide in this crack. Forever." (immediately gets out of nook to kill a sniper)
--> (Caption) [[LampshadeHanging Attention Span]]

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=CDAvQXaYg3o#t=657 asked]] about his future concerning [=TF=]2 and if he was going to go more competitive or going for fun and casual, he said that competitive [=TF=]2 is fun and casual to him, contrary to the usual StopHavingFunGuys mentality that lurks in the competitive scenes.

* ByTheEyesOfTheBlind: In the '[=GTA=]: Ghost World Insanity' video, STAR_, by some odd variations of glitches, managed to enter the ghost world version of the fast food restaurant and can't see anything within the kitchen. Jerma can see him, as well as several old ladies surrounding him for some reason and asked STAR_ to punch in thin air for him to know where they are.

** In [[https://youtu.be/6CKLZsDRCFI this video on a 100% crits Orange map]], STAR_ jokes that he can't turn back because he bound the S key to explode. A full year later, [[https://youtu.be/sclE51FomWw he actually did it as a challenge]].

--> '''STAR_''': Eh, you don't even have a head, Pyro. He just not have a head because...pretty sure you need that.

--> '''STAR_''': Oh, really? You don't say?

--> '''STAR_''': This is a sword, this is a sword. We also have a quiver. And a club.

* FollowTheLeader: After STAR_ releases a video of him doing some odd tactic like uberchaining or long-distance Spy sniping, expect to encounter hordes of his fans on servers trying the same thing, [[SturgeonsLaw often times less skillfully]].
