5	!!Discussions
6	* Tom humming the GX theme at the beginning of one of their [[UsefulNotes/ElectronicEntertainmentExpo E3]] 2016 [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLZLCn6eOKOyH_3yE4nZ8_WVdXPr8MfE9r&v=yVjZGZl7jI0 discussions]], and André deciding to ThrowItIn instead of the actual tune.
7	* When they all agreed that the game ending Creator/{{Sony\|ComputerEntertainment}}'s E3 2016 conference was disappointing:
8	-->'''Ash:''' ''VideoGame/DaysGone'', [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere and so am I.]]
9	* André having all the difficulties of the world remembering the exact name of the ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild''. When Derrick talks about the "mystery of Link", he argues that it would make a good title, Derrick then coining "The Missing Link".
10	-->'''Ash:''' I am really impressed by how far Nintendo is stepping out of their ''Zelda'' comfort zone with this game. [...]\
11	'''André:''' Does it feel like... a ''[[PungeonMaster Breath]]'' of fresh air?\
12	'''Ash:''' Actually, I was gonna say: my favorite part of this discussion so far is the fact that you've only called it ''[[ArtifactTitle Zelda Wii U]]'' still.
13	** About Link's ability to use [[MultiMeleeMaster different weapons]] being an extension of a ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Wind Waker]]'' concept:
14	--->'''Derrick:''' ''Wind Waker'' Link was just not big enough to make use of that effectively. There never really was a point to it.\
15	'''André:''' Spears ''have'' points, Derrick.
16	** About the voice acting:
17	--->'''Derrick:''' It sounded mysterious, it didn't sound forced.\
18	'''André:''' ...''Tri''forced?\
19	''(CollectiveGroan)''
20	* When Ash stated that he didn't hate ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'' that much and thought that it was an okay game, André snarkily replied that this was expected coming from a [[VideoGame/Splatoon1 Callie supporter]]. Then the discussion became a Waifu War.
21	* When talking about ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'''s new mons:
22	-->'''LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}}:''' Tapu Koko sounds like some kinds of island deity, like [[AppeaseTheVolcanoGod "We must pay our respect to the LEGENDARY TAPU KOKO!"]]\
23	'''Derrick:''' [[VirginSacrifice Offer your virgins!]]\
24	'''Chuggaaconroy:''' Oh god! I was gonna say "first born"!
25	* When a rumor hinted that the upcoming UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch might not be that powerful of a console which generated a huge HypeBacklash from specs enthusiasts claiming once again that "[[ItWillNeverCatchOn Nintendo is doomed]]", their discussion of the rumor started with an ominous RedAlert a healthy dose of {{sarcasm\|Mode}}:
26	-->'''André:''' Are you guys still here? Are you guys still alive?\
27	'''Derrick:''' Can we come out from the bunker? Is that allowed?\
28	'''Ash:''' I don't think there's a world anymore. I think the world has ended and we're all just [[AllJustADream imagining]] that we exist.
29	* During the pre-release discussion on ''Splatoon 2'', the topic of the first Splatfest comes up, Ice Cream vs Cake. It rapidly devolves into a debate over whether [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs ice cream cake]] counts as ice cream or cake.
30	** Doubles as HilariousInHindsight since Pearl and Marina go through a similar argument during the in-game announcement.
31	* The August 8 Smash Direct discussion starts abruptly with André yelling "Holy ''[[PrecisionFStrike shit]]''!", following a RecordNeedleScratch.
32	** The discussion for ''New Pokemon Snap'' similarly opens up with Andre unleashing a spectacular BigOMG at the game's announcement. It notably caught a lot of viewers off guard.
33	* André opens up their discussion about the 2019 Game Awards by playing the "What have you done, Derrick?! Nothing!" scene from Zoolander. Derrick then remarks that he feels personally attacked.
34
35	!!Gameplay sessions
36	* Derrick gameplay sessions of ''VideoGame/DuckHunt'' and ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand'' with his [[CoolOldLady sweet grandma]], the latter always giggling at what was happening onscreen.
37	* One of their E3 2016 ''Breath of the Wild'' videos is called "[[GoKartingWithBowser Playing Baseball with Bokoblins]]" (which shows how you can [[TennisBoss hit some projectiles]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard back to the sender]]).
38	** And then they had another video titled "[[BadWithTheBone Skull Bashing]] [[WouldHurtAChild Stalchildren]] [[GrievousHarmWithABody with their]] [[StopHittingYourself own Skulls]]".
39	** André tries to cut down a tree with a club. [[NoSell The tree wins.]] Immediately after that, he finally cuts it down to cross a ravine, but the tree is too much in diagonal, rolls and [[GravityIsAHarshMistress falls into the gap]] the instant André jumps on it. He even almost falls a second time after accidentally destroying the bridge-tree he was still crossing.
40	** Accidentally using exploits, André is able to climb a very tall cliff. He's almost at the top... but the exploit doesn't work this time and [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou he falls 100 feet with panache]].
41	** He also had some difficulty remembering all the controls. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard He blew himself up several times with his own bombs]] because he was mixing the "throw", "put down" and "detonate" buttons.
42	* When playing the ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven Megamix'' game "Karate Man", which consists in punching incoming flower pots:
43	-->'''Derrick:''' You're hitting your [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything pot habit]], good for you.\
44	'''Tom:''' I was gonna say: "[[DrugsAreBad say no to pot]]". [...] [[LogicalFallacies Don't be gardeners]], that's all we're saying.
45	** About the game being a WorldOfPun:
46	--->'''Derrick:''' Now I see why you like it so much, [[PungeonMaster André]].\
47	'''André:''' I really should be at the [[{{Woolseyism}} Treehouse]].\
48	'''Tom:''' It's your Plan "Bee". ''(they've met a bee just before)''
49	* André's awfully FailedASpotCheck during a preview demo of ''VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash'' in the presence of one of its lead developer: he was literally ''stepping'' on the Toad he was looking for!
50	* Derrick playing ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'':
51	** When meeting the demolition unit:
52	--->'''Derrick:''' He's the one sending [[SpecialEffectFailure piz]][[MemeticMutation zas]] at us!
53	** In Mighty No.1's level, he fell into a BottomlessPit because he didn't saw it: [[ObstructiveForeground the dialogue box was covering it]]!
54	* How would you call a [=SSB4=] tournament hosted by Ash? [="SmASH GX"=], of course!
55	** A weird turn of events made Ash's Mega Man use his Rush Coil, being spiked by an enemy Lucas, but then being miraculously saved by the same Rush Coil that was still in midair. Later, his Ness was about to get ejected when an enemy Robin unintentionally footstooled him and saved him. And in a Corrin mirror match, the two of them were at one point [[FearfulSymmetry doing the same attack repeatedly, cancelling each other]].
56	** Ash had to leave because of a particularly laggy match... and got a 10-min ban from his own tournament for it!
57	* André playing ''VideoGame/PokemonGo'':
58	-->'''Prof. Willow:''' Some [Pokémon] run across the plains, others fly through the skies...\
59	'''André:''' Actually, you would think the one in the planes would be the one flying.
60	** Then you have Derrick's commentary of his gameplay sessions, becoming a child again:
61	--->'''Derrick:''' Oh no, get out of the street, Doduo, you're gonna get run over!\
62	'''Derrick:''' Get off that fence, Nidoran!\
63	'''Derrick:''' ''(to André)'' Protect that guy's car, throw a Poké Ball at the window!
64	** André encounters a Caterpie. Of course, he had to say ''"encounterpie"''.
65	** He got pretty into the clan system, being extremely hostile toward the "punk scum" from the Red team who captured his Gym.
66	* André losing his precious Marie costume in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'':
67	--> '''André:''' Oh no, I got Blooper'ed! What a Blooper!
68	* André's [[SoBadItsGood "Oscar-worthy"]] Performance in ''VideoGame/WarioWare Gold'''s Recording Studio.
69	** "[[DullSurprise AAAAAHH.]]"
70	--> '''Héliozen''': Better scream than Rex's voice actor in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2''
71	** "[[NonSequitur E-!]]"
72	** When Dr. Crygor initially believes that Mike is trying to pull a prank, André forgets what Crygor says after saying "because..." (the non-subtitled line is "Pranks are incompatible and worthless information!"), and repeats his line in confusion.
73	** Several of the comments sarcastically praise André for his supposedly top-tier voice acting.
74	--> '''[=UnderBreak=]''': But these are the default professional voices. I thought Andre was going to dub a character.
75	* Derrick did a blind playthrough of Super Ghouls and Ghosts for Halloween, and at one point, following a montage of deaths, the continues screen appears, which is then followed by a clip from Bugs Bunny gets the Boid where Killer states “Nope, nope, nope. I don’t wanna” before being kicked out of the nest.
76	* The Hype for Smash! Castlevania(later named Castlemania) Streams aren't short of these, partially thanks to the NintendoHard nature of the games, but also due a healthy dose of AccidentalInnuendo or mere snark from Derrick:
77	** His brief SanitySlippage in the Castlevania III livestream, after [[EpicFail loading a save state instead of creating a new one]]
78	--->'''Derrick:''' I think this is hell.
79	** During the Belmont's Revenge Livestream:
80	--->'''Derrick:''' (after beating [[ThatOneBoss Soleiyu]]) Yes! I killed my Son!
81	** During the Hall in ''Videogame/SuperCastlevaniaIV'':
82	--->'''Derrick:''' (while fighting the [[GoddamnedBats ghost maidens]]) After killing these women, things will get much easier. (beat) [[ThatCameOutWrong That was an awkward sentence to say]]
83	** During the swamp level in Rondo of Blood, we have these gems:
84	--->'''Derrick:''' Oh no, I got to greedy! Went too far! [[ItMakesSenseInContext Angered the frog!]]\
85	'''Derrick(after saving the last maiden):''' Richter's almost looking at the camera being like "alright, got myself a harem"(...)Oh, he's commenting something like "you're not hurt". I died to a frog, lady!.
86	** His comment on the story of Castlevania Legends?
87	--->'''Derrick(after the last cutscene):''' And that caps off my fanfcition!
88	** During the ''Videogame/CastlevaniaChronicles'' Stream, while traversing the [[ThatOneLevel Clock Tower]], Derrick got a lucky extra life:
89	--->'''Derrick:''' God is in Simon's side! (gets immediately smacked by a falling gear) Nevermind, God hates Simon
90	** Derrick's response to Leon's [[MemeticMutation infamous]] BadassBoast in Videogame/CastlevaniaLamentOfInnocence?
91	--->'''Leon:''' I'll kill you AND the night!\
92	'''Derrick:''' Screw the moon!
93	** After a few fairly calm games, Derrick's rage mode returns in Dawn of Sorrow's Julius mode. Specifically, when facing Death, after then nth attempt, he gets killed, stops to contragutlate someone in the chat and then keeps raging:
94	--->'''Derrick:''' NO! no! Oh, Congratulations King Kaido for Graduating. MPH!
95	** During the Portrait of Ruin Finale, while facing the [[ThatOneBoss Two Creatures]] in the [[BrutalBonusLevel Nest of Evil]] Derrick's Rage mode returns in full force. After being suggested to keep on the upper left side of the room to avoid the attacks, we got this:
96	--->'''Derrick:''' Allright, you guys say to stay here (gets killed by a missile regardless). [[LastSecondWordSwap Well, that didn't do sh-MMph]].
97	** In Part 2 of Order of Ecclesia, Derrick misses Barlowe telling him to do a Glyph Union and kills himself trying to get the bad ending.
98	** In Part 1 of Mirror of Fate, Derrick comes to a grapple point, but since he doesn’t have the grapple ability, he writes a note to come back to it. He then proceeds to jump off the platform, thinking he was supposed to and ends up getting killed.
99	--->'''Derrick:'''Okay. Not the way I was supposed to go down. Got it.
100	* The entire GX crew do a stream together to celebrate reaching the channel’s 10-year anniversary along with reaching 1 billion views. They start off playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Steve ends up leaving Jon’s island because his Switch turned itself off.
101
102	!!Real Talk
103	!!!Episode 20: Derrick's InsideJob
104	* The title is a reference to a hacking of their Twitter account that happened just before the podcast, coupled with the fact that Derrick isn't present for this episode, leading to the theory that he was TheMole from the beginning.
105	* They have a SpecialGuest in this episode, Matthew from Studio Ravenheart, and note that at this point Tom could almost be considered a special guest too, even joking that Matthew already appeared more than him.
106	-->'''Matthew:''' Wait, even though it is my ''first time?''
107	* Ash talking about his hype about ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'', especially because it has one of the only thing cooler than dinosaurs: [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Robot Dinosaurs]]! (though not yet [[RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE!]] which Tom suggests was saved for the [[SequelEscalation sequel]].)
108	* When criticizing the lengthy ending of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'', Tom asks if that was in this game that Snake [[LongSpeechTeaTime stopped to buy a burger]].
109	* They [[MondegreenGag misheard]] Matthew saying "put an end to [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ganon]]" as "put it ''into'' Ganon", the rest of his phrase about "the seven sages" and the Master Sword [[DoubleEntendre having then a whole new meaning]].
110	!!!Episode 21: The Intention of an Oreo:
111	* Ash realizes that Derrick and André's long ''Series/GameOfThrones'' talks are justified since it is still a "Game" related topic, triggering this HurricaneOfPuns:
112	-->'''Ash:''' I'm really sad I am the one who figured that out before you André. You're off your Game.\
113	'''André:''' But I'm on the Game of Game of Thrones!\
114	'''Derrick:''' He's knocking you off your Throne, André.
115	** When Derrick said that he did not expect so much fatalities in the season 6 finale, Ash asked him if he would have preferred more "babilities" and "animalities". Cue them imagining a ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' series on Creator/{{HBO}}, or alternatively ''[=GoT=]'' characters in ''MK''
116	* André is glad that Sega didn't "''VideoGame/SonicRush'' out" Sonic's 25th anniversary game.
117	* When realizing that "What is your favorite snack?" asked by username "André from the future" was a tougher question that he initially thought, André declared that [[FutureMeScaresMe "André from the future is a dick!"]]
118	** The lengthy discussion about "What is a snack?" was immediately dubbed "[=SnackXplain=]".
119	* The title is based on a quote from Ash who said that "the intention of an Oreo isn't to be peanut better" which was judged surprisingly philosophical by the others.
120
121	!!{{Running Gag}}s / Other
122	* André's RunningGag of including WesternAnimation/{{Captain N\|TheGameMaster}} in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' He is not even a fan of the show or the character and doesn't really wants him to be in the game, but he loves bringing him up just to {{troll}} the viewers who left mad comments about it.
123	* When discussing what new character could appear in ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'', they jokingly came up with [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast Link's uncle]] riding [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening the Wind Fish]]. And they never let it die!
124	** [[http://dfdfleming.tumblr.com/post/134128828030/gamexplain-recently-discussed-hyrule-warriors There is even a fanart]], that they used in a video.
125	** {{Jossed}}, but still a bit HilariousInHindsight, with the confirmation of the Wind Fish eventually being Marin's AssistCharacter.
126	* Their "apology" for a "clickbaity" video? Making the next one even ''more'' clickbaity in SelfDeprecation!
127	* Derrick mistakenly used a Music/SiIvaGunner version of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0FbkCTAdGk Spiral Mountain]]" from ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' for the background of a ''VideoGame/YookaLaylee'' video, which was quickly [[https://twitter.com/BitnerdGX/status/733722588661174273 deleted]] despite the [[ApprovalOfGod Approval of SiIva]]. The latter eventually posted a rip of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWZ9jWds8rg Don't worry]]" from ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'' mixed with the GX theme tune and audio clips from Derrick's review of the game praising the music.
128	-->'''Derrick:''' I don't think a mistake has ever made me so happy
129	* When asked about ''Series/GameOfThrones'', Ash who knows nothing about it usually answers that "the Thrones were better this season but the Game not so much".
130	* When the last Splatfest of ''[[VideoGame/Splatoon1 Splatoon 1]]'' -- Callie vs. Marie -- was announced, André couldn't stop himself from openly stating his position on the matter by putting "Team Marie Baby!!!" in the very title of the video. This was the beginning of a dreadful Waifu War between him and Ash (who prefers Callie) going on for several weeks.
131	* Derrick has been a recurring guest on other channels, such as WebVideo/BrainScratchCommentaries and Find the Computer Room, to the point that he's joking called "Mistah Gamexplain" by them.
132	* During the Predictions Discussion for the September 13th, 2018 Nintendo Direct, Jon predicted Switch ports for Final Fantasy VII, IX, X and XII, along with a 3DS port for Kirby's Epic Yarn. ''He got it all right.'' Their reupload of the Final Fantasy announcement even includes "Jon was right!" in the title.
