1[[https://www.youtube.com/user/FSSZilla [=FSSZilla=]]] (or just Zilla) is a Let's Player on Youtube. She started in 2012 with her "Steam Stream" project, an endeavor to play through her entire Steam library for at least 30 minutes a game (or until she felt a sense of accomplishment). She plays many PC games, and has done a few Platform/NintendoGameCube games. Her presentation style is usually informative and instructive, explaining game mechanics and trivia about the game she is playing. She has co-hosted with a number of people, including her real-life girlfriend, but most of her videos are solo.

57!! Tropes that apply to [=FSSZilla=]:
58* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: In Legend/The Four Crystals of Trazere, the four main heroes begin to have emergent personalities. Zothen is portrayed as overly senile, Tunarle as an edgy punk-rock alt-girl, Thai-Chang as a Moon Princess on the run from her inheritance to pursue a degree in acupuncture, and Slyzaar as a part-time DJ on local Trazere radio station "The Crystal," and the only party member with MediumAwareness. Slyzaar will often referencing elements of the interface, much to the party's [[InvisibleToNormals confusion]].
59** Also applies to a BigBad of the game, Kilijan. Due to the cajoling nature of the notes left behind, Zilla firmly asserts that Kilijan is a lonely wacky prankster who is thrilled to have company, rather than the [[DealWithTheDevil power-mad]] {{necromancer}} bent on destroying the world in the name of [[GodOfEvil Chaos]].
60* ArcWords: "No particular reason," in her Legend/Four Crystals of Trazere Let's Play, whenever she or co-host breadfiesta refer to something fourth-wall breaking.
61* ArtificialBrilliance: The AI in her Lords of the Realm 2 video uses a strategy she's never seen. It fakes her out into wasting materials preparing for an attack, when the goal all along was to devastate her infrastructure with a tiny peasant army.
62* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: She'll start a sentence...
63** Sometimes she'll remember she was in the middle of saying something and continue where she left off.
64** "Five cent corn on the cob?! Guys, why are we playing [=TF2=]? There's five cent corn on the cob!"
65* AwesomeButImpractical: She attempts to solve a room in Antichamber with no floor by filling the entire area with blocks that she can carve out "Minecraft style."
66* BrandX: In Legend/The Four Crystals of Trazere, "Mama Zothen" supposedly runs a hot-sauce manufactory, producing bottles of "Mama Zothen's Fuck-Off Spell" hot sauce.
67** A later episode reveals "Mama Zothen's Experience Ketchup."
68* BriefAccentImitation: She can't do a rastafarian accent for Mamago's employees in Beyond Good And Evil.
69** During Monaco, she does overblown accents for the Pickpocket and the Mole.
70* ChallengeSeeker: She attempts to beat Mega Man X without ever switching weapons or collecting any optional upgrades. Or even using the dash.
71* CutenessOverload: The Greater Dog's reveal in Undertale.
72* FailedASpotCheck: When running around in a "never-ending" circular room in Antichamber, she gives up and returns to the hub after just barely reaching the end, failing to notice that the circle was getting smaller. If you pause the video at just the right moment, you can see the ending corridor she would have gone down if she hadn't given up.
73** In Legend/The Four Crystals of Trazere, she fails to notice a message indicating the character's inventory is full, causing her to miss picking up a key needed later.
74* {{Flashback}}: When the dragon wand is used up in Legend/The Four Crystals of Trazere, she and breadfiesta hold a memorial for the item, complete with [[DeliberatelyMonochrome sepia tone]] and over-the-top sad music.
75** While descending the Dark Tower after defeating [[BigBad Kilijan]], she wonders if Kilijan disappeared in a puff a blue smoke, and it shows a slow-motion replay of his demise.
76* GagCensor: Z's dumb joke in the second Mann vs Machine video.
77* HeroicBSOD: During a backtracking run in [=Killer7=], she gets ambushed by a Heaven's Smile she can't seem to detect. It takes several minutes to compose herself.
78** Catching sight of a supposedly extra Ornate Key in her inventory renders her into a mute stupor for about 10 seconds.
79* InsistentTerminology: Quite a few during Sonic Shuffle. Precioustones are "Precious Tones," Lumina Flowlight is Roll (or Toad), and Void is Boo. There's also the Space Dolphin.
80** All over the place in Legend/The Four Crystals of Trazere. Battle horns are "Horms," rat monsters are "Jimmies," and spells are given all sorts of names that loosely correspond to their function, such as "nuke," "four," "TDOZZ" and "DFXAYNROM." Vivification, the act of resurrecting a party member, is also used as a term for urinating.
81** "Cowmom" for Toriel in {{Undertale}}.
82* ImplausibleDeniability: In Legend/The Four Crystals of Trazere, in the middle of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95_YJ_QGLNw Episode 54]], after loading a save, all of the names of the characters are switched. Zilla and breadfiesta try to play it as if nothing has happened, but they keep mistaking the names of the characters, usually followed by the non-sequitor "No particular reason."
83* KickTheDog: In Bioshock, she spends an inordinate amount of time whacking a cat corpse with a wrench.
84* [[spoiler:LastBreathBullet]]: In FTL, Zilla enters a long, drawn out conflict with a heavily armed rebel ship at the exit node to the final sector. [[spoiler:After a long fight that brings her ship to the brink of destruction, a plea for peace is offered by the rebel ship. Zilla happily accepts, ending the combat, except for the missile that the rebel fighter launched just before sending the bribe for peace. The missile is the cherry-tap that blows her ship to pieces.]]
85* LongList: In the first Mann vs Machine video, Willow provides tips to newbie DMF on how to play. It's represented onscreen with a list that starts crowding itself out.
86* LooseLips: Her guest Kyrie prods at her lack of driver's license while playing True Crime.
87* NoodleIncident:
88-->'''Zilla''': FREEDOM SPOON!\
89'''Willow''': I want a Freedom Spoon...\
90'''Zilla''': We have a lot of Freedom Spoons. We just don't use them for freedom anymore. Not since the war...\
91'''Willow''': Oh right.\
92'''Zilla''': I guess they're more Oppression Spoons now, to remind us of the Great Utensil War.\
93'''Willow''': Those glorious days before the war. If only...
94** Just what happened at Mardis Gras to compare a blood-spattered floor to a real life experience during her {{VideoGame/Bioshock}} Let's Play?
95* ShoutOut: When the team misses 10 credits in Mann vs Machine, everyone starts yelling [[TouhouM1GrandPrix "Teeeeen."]] Various visual references accompany.
96** In Legend/The Four Crystals of Trazere, she often pronounces "telepor'" with a [[LetsPlay/ElectricalBeast specific thick British accent]].
97*** Several to Let's Play hosts, such as WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} and LetsPlay/ProtonJon.
98* SurroundedByIdiots: Lampshaded in one ''VideoGame/DungeonKeeper 2'' video, subtitled "I Have To Do Everything."
99* TheTalk: breadfiesta gives an interesting account of how paying gold to keeps in The Four Crystals of Trazere results in more soldiers staffing the keeps.
100* ThisIsGonnaSuck: She really doesn't like [[VideoGame/AndYetItMoves And Yet It Moves]]
