  • Ascended Fanon: The strange mechanical creatures in Scorpy's Best Buy stream were named "Phillip" offhandedly by chat member CaseyAnnHartley in a donation, but Scorpy quickly decided to run with it and started referring to them as Phillip for the rest of the stream.
  • Corpsing:
    • Within minutes of showing up on the AI-dventure Call stream, Scorpy causes Wayne to corpse so badly that he has to walk offscreen to compose himself. He claims that his kidneys are acting up in order to avoid completely breaking character.
    • Scorpy accidentally laughs into his microphone after being told that he has "no caulk."
    • Technical difficulties during the BSOD Battleships Stream caused everyone to start laughing, and Wayne can be seen trying to keep it together at multiple later points.
  • Enforced Method Acting:
    • Scorpy has said that he felt like he was going to pass out from hyperventilating so much during his Best Buy stream.
    • Wayne had intended to stream the day after Homer returned him to the physical realm, but his utterly tired and bewildered acting ended up exhausting him for real.
  • Fan Community Nicknames: Some fans of Scorpy call themselves "scorplings" or "scorplets."
  • Missing Episode: Wayne thankfully doesn't suffer from this as much as some other notable streamers who started off not archiving their streams, but a lot of Wayne's early 2018 streams have unfortunately been lost to time.
    • The other members of the team also do not suffer greatly from this trope, thanks to the rest of them generally starting streaming after Wayne got big and setting up VOD channels in advance (or at least letting fans run VOD channels on their behalf). The one most affected is probably Trog, who didn't have a proper VOD channel (official or otherwise) until 2022.
  • Newbie Boom: Not even Wayne could've predicted the explosive popularity of HLVRAI. The massive influx of fans extended beyond Wayne to boost the fanbase of every single RTVS member listed on the main page.
  • Promoted Fanboy:
    • Most members of the mod team started out as active fans in the Discord server deemed trustworthy by the crew. An especially notable case is Mike, who ascended to the point of becoming the "stagehand" for HLVRAI.
    • Popular fanartists often reach this status, getting commissioned to make artwork for the crew and even receiving opportunities to sell their work as official (limited-time) merchandise.
  • Reclusive Artist: Moupine/Moupi deliberately keeps to themself and information of themself scarce, to the point where the rest of Radio and TV Solutions actively discourage fans following them on socials or looking for more info about them. The only thing they're willing to reveal is that Moupi is not a character.
  • Series Hiatus:
    • Wayne's last stream of Yakuza 0 happened in August of 2019. He has expressed a desire to return to it, but hasn't managed to find the time for it yet.
    • There was a 4-month-gap between Part 4 and 5 of Dark Souls San Andreas, thanks to Wayne getting distracted by other games.
    • In general, this happens a lot for longer games that Wayne streams, thanks to his attention problems.
  • What Could Have Been: Suggested names for the team before Wayne settled on Radio TV Solutions included Funny Nut Heroes, Will We Are, and Lentil Soup and Other Soups.
