103
104Find The Computer Room's content has expanded to include a variety of different types of shows, even going as far into non-''Sonic'' territory. These include:
105
106[[folder:Playthroughs]]
107* Let's Plays
108The classic format you all know and love(?), where the FTCR crew, along with usually a few guests, commentate over a video game for wacky shenanigans, starting off mainly Sonic, but most recently branching out to include Spider-Man and Kirby. Most interesting is their decisions to pick the most random and obscure games to "play" (see: Sonic Speedway, Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car, SegaSonic Popcorn Shop)
109
110* Livestreams
111Live broadcasts which can range from a planned-out event to raise awareness (the Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyric Charity Stream & Sonic 3 & Knuckles Remastered Stream for Success) to a full blown drunken rage-filled good time (Sonic And The Secret Rings)
112
113* Nintendothon
114Archives of the famous Nintendothon, an almost non-stop charity event featuring HFC, BSC, FTCR, and more guests, as they play games to raise money for the Mind Charity. Many of the most (im)famous FTCR running gags and jokes were started here including Kirby's Dream Land (Whispy Woods), Banjo-KaSmoovies (Airhorns), & Smoovies Adventures (Everything Miwa)
115
116* FTA & Mykonosfan All-Star Gaming
117A series of videos featuring FTA & Mykonosfan as they explore the multiplayer modes on various Sonic & Sega related games. Each video also includes a new take on Mykonosfan's name (Mykonisfan, Digimonfan, ClassicPhysicsFan, Everybody Hates Chris, etc.)
118
119* FTA & Smoovies Play
120More multiplayer related content, this time featuring FTA & (internet celebrity) Smoovies. Also included in this series is the Drunken Sonic Shuffle playthrough featuring other internet celebrity WebVideo/SomecallmeJohnny.
121
122[[/folder]]
123
124[[folder:Podcasts]]
125
126* The Hog-Cast
127A previously cancelled podcast hosted by FTA & Torch that focused on them talking about any Sonic-related news happening at the time. The podcast has since been rebooted as ''The Hogcast'', hosted by FTA, Mykonosfan, and TJ.
128
129* The Super Power Flower Hour
130Hosted by FTA & Smoovies (and featuring a special intro and outro from Mike Pollock), this podcast can include a variety of different topics, usually involving a guest, as they talk about any number of topics, usually relating to said guest.
131
132* Skype Sanctuary
133A freeform chat that usually involves a wide-variety of guests deciding to just simply talk and shoot-the-shit over Skype. One of the few FTCR projects not to have FTA involved with every episode, as some episodes only feature guests BrainScratchComms, Blaze Otaku, and Sonic Retro.
134
135* Sonic Sez
136The most on going and consistent of the podcasts, this features FTA, Th3AntiGuardian, JonoCarter, TJ and several other of their friends as they discuss about the Sonic The Hedgehog & Sonic Universe comics by Archie.
137

139
140[[folder:Reviews]]

142* Learning To Love Platform/PlayStation
143Hosted by Mykonosfan, in an attempt to fill a huge gap in his gaming knowledge, as he explores beloved (and hated) games associated with the brand and see if he can discover any hidden gems. It is by far the longest running FTCR review series to date.
144
145* Smoovies Reviews
146A highly produced project in which the one and only Smoovies goes in depth to pick apart and dissect how good the Sonic games (or any games) are really. So far only the Sonic 1 review has been released, but the Sonic 2 one is very soon...
147
148* Film Reviews
149It's exactly what you get, reviews of movies that have come out. So far the only review released is of Wreck-It Ralph.
150
151* You Can Do Better
152Hosted by Karto1989 of Blaze Otaku, it's a series that looks over games to see what could be done to improve them. So far only 1 episode has been produced (Sonic Adventure).
153

187
188!![=FindTheComputerRoom=] contains examples of:
189* AbortedArc: The original run of Sonic Lost World was lost.
190** Sonic 4: Episode 2 was this with the co-op, as the online wasn't working when FTA and Smoovies were trying. They talked over the single player instead.
191** FTA & [=MykonosFan=] did eventually do the co-op locally.
192** Their playthrough of the (in)famous ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie'' tie-in game was cut short after 5 episodes due to their copy of the game no longer working.
193* AmbiguouslyGay: Between FTA and Smoovies, and later between FTA
194* AscendedFangirl: Mia, she's a fan of FTCR & FTA during his time on HFC that made her one day randomly add Gareth on Skype which in turn made her an official FTCR member.
195* BadBoss: PlayedForLaughs with FTA, who constantly insults and berates his fellow commentators, as well as firing them multiple times over something incredibly petty.
196* BigFun: TJ may be the biggest member of the group, but he is also the most lovable.
197* BreakoutCharacter: [=SSF1991=] aka Donnie, the always put-upon [[ButtMonkey butt monkey]] of the group, has become extremely popular with the fans for his memes and his tenacity with Spinball.

207* DeadpanSnarker: Almost everyone, though the levels of "deadpan" may vary.
208* FanArt: People have made this of various FTCR members, and the crew occasionally talks about some of the bad Sonic Fan Art.
209** The Nintendothon brought about a slew of memes with the various FTCR members pasted over characters faces, among a load of other stuff.
210* FanBoy: Most of the commentators are this towards Sonic.
211** FTA to [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles TMNT]], Ian Flynn, and Music/TheMegas.
212** TJ to Comicbook/SpiderMan, to the point where he actually loves ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay''.
213* FirstNameBasis: Since the crew are friends outside the internet, they often use their names instead of handles. Gareth is FTA, Stephen is Smoovies, Skyler is [=SegaSky=], Mia is [=MagneticNeko=], Chris is [=MykonosFan=] and Donnie is... Donnie.
214* FourManBand:
215** FTA/Smoovies/Chris as The Pervert.
216** Skyler as the OnlySaneMan and the ButtMonkey.

221* TheHyena: FTA, full stop. Every third remark levied by his co-commentators sends him into an exaggerated cackling frenzy.
222* HotBlooded: TJ and FTA.
223* LargeHam: TJ, usually. "BWABWABWABWAAAAAAAH!"
224* LastNameBasis: Clement, whenever he appears as a guest. His own [=LPs=] show his first name is Jamie.

226* LiveEpisode: The FTCR Livestreams, Marathons, and FTA and Smoovies/[=MykonosFan=] Play series.
