1	* AuthorsSavingThrow: During Stephen & Mal's playthrough of Pikmin 2, many people were a bit critical of how the system of switching players (one person plays for an entire episode and then switches to the other for the next one) seemed very unfair to Mal, as Stephen would often jump into caves, end the episode, and force Mal to go through said cave and fight the boss. Later Let's Plays starting with Super Mario 64 would fix this by having Stephen and Mal switch off after a death or completing a mission, thus allowing both of them to tackle something fairly. This is also doubly fixed in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' since there's a co-op mode.
2	* CreatorBacklash:
3	** While he still likes the game overall, Stephen has frequently mentioned of how tired he is of ''Skyrim'' due to the game's length, on top of the fanbase asking him to do another playthrough of the game in spite of how pointless it would be to do so after doing OneHundredPercentCompletion. At the beginning of the [=First20=] for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEvuic9mT9o Special Edition]] of the game, Stephen made it clear that the video was ''not'' the start of a new LP. He does return to it during Mal's recovery from surgery once a new edition came out with new missions
4	--->'''Stephen:''' Before we get started on this [=First20=], let me take a moment to address the number 1 question that will appear in the comments if I don't: Am I doing another LetsPlay of Skyrim? The answer to that...is '''[[BluntNo no.]]''' No I am not.
5	** [[invoked]] Ever since its completion, Stephen and Mal have made it adamant that they ''really'' don't look back fondly on their ''Pikmin 2'' Let's Play, and refuse to give the game a good recommendation. While it started off alright at first, the insane SequelDifficultySpike on top of the overwhelming, contradictory, and downright hostile [=YouTube=] comments that attempted to guide Stephen and Mal through the game only made their playthrough incredibly stressful and emotionally draining for both of them. Their experience with the game was so awful that Stephen admits that both he and Mal have a form of PTSD that affected their LP of the third game in the ''Pikmin'' series.
6	* HeAlsoDid:
7	** Due to a shared background in art, Stephen and Mal also made several logos for LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}}'s and LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys, though they retired from this in 2022.
8	** Though Dan has served as Stephen and Mal's editor since 2016, he recently became LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}}'s additional editor and graphic designer as well, starting with the latter's LP of ''Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass''. He also eventually became a full-time editor for LetsPlay/TomFawkes and LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys.
