*** Later, while fighting the Origami Killer, Jayden backs on the chair where Paco's corpse is lying, leading Charles to snark that Paco finally got a lapdance.
*** Earlier, during the Doc scene, Charles makes repeated comments about worrying about David Cage.

** In his sins video for VideoGame/TheLastOfUs, Charles clearly sees [[spoiler: Ellie killing David]] as this, taking off a sin for each time [[spoiler: Ellie strikes David's face with his own machete]] without comment.
** He also gives one to, of all people, David Cage for managing to make ''VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman'' a game where your choices actually do make a significant difference in the outcome of the story (something Charles has criticized previous games of this type for failing to do). He knocks a sin off for this.
* PlayingAgainstType: [[IncrediblyLamePun Plays with this]] in VideoGame/BattlefieldHardline. Charles notes that several characters in the game had previously played police officers in other media. This results in him being mildly surprised that Tyson's actor, Adam Harrington (who played a cop in VideoGame/LANoire), isn't one here. He also notes that due to the number of generic cops that Creator/TravisWillingham (Stoddard's actor) has played in video games, he has "truly become the most typecast digital actor." Because of this, the reveal that [[spoiler: Stoddard's actually corrupt causes Charles to snark that he's "surprised that Travis Willingham gets to play a different kind of cop for once."]]
** AvertedTrope when it comes to Creator/TroyBaker: Charles has encountered him while sinning VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity (as [[ComicBook/{{Robin}} Tim Drake]]), VideoGame/InfamousSecondSon (as the PlayerCharacter, Delsin), and VideoGame/{{Catherine}} (yet again, as the main character, Vincent), just for starters. The guy has no type to play against: he's in ''everything''.
* TheUntwist: Sees the reveal of ''VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry''[='=]s final antagonist as this; [[spoiler:due to all established fans of ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' being aware of Vergil's role and motivations, Charles doesn't see any point in the game waiting until the end of the story to make Vergil a villain.]]

The "being David Cage games" mostly cover how creepy, poorly written and vaguely offensive they are, minus the typical opening strike

** Already [[SarcasmMode impressed by the three-dimensional and complex]] dialogue of [[ScaryBlackMan Mad Jack]] in ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'', Charles mentions he feels "uncomfortably white" when he prompts Jayden to beat Jack.
*** Earlier, during the Doc scene, Charles makes repeated comments about worrying about David Cage.

He knocks a sin off for this, which is pretty impressive considering that Charles has previously given a sin to David Cage games for the mere fact that they are David Cage games.

* BetterThanCanon: Says that the idea of VideoGame/{{Catherine}} [[spoiler: being a figment of Vincent's imagination]] (which Charles had already postulated as a theory early on) would have been a better conclusion to the story than what the devs ended up going with.

* CriticalResearchFailure: In the ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow'' video, he sins the game under the impression that lore character Gandolfi was an original addition to the game introduced in order to make a ShoutOut to [[Literature/LordOfTheRings Gandalf]]. Rinaldo Gandolfi was already part of the original timeline of the series, being introduced in 2003's ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLamentOfInnocence'' and then adapted into the alternate continuity's lore.

* WhatAnIdiot: Basically says this of every main character in VideoGame/{{Catherine}}, due to Vincent's horrible lies and both of his girlfriends somehow falling for them. Best summed up by this line:
-->'''Charles:''' It's only now that I realize that I've spent half this video telling men how to be men, women how to be women, and how to act while cheating -- all things that I am in no way qualified to do, yet I'm pretty sure that my advice is sound, which just goes to show you how incompetent the characters are.
