Go To

  • Awesome Music: All of David Krause's scores for the audio dramas. All of them.
    • Feedback's theme song, "My Calling". Listen to it and just try not to rock out.
    • See Drive's CMOA above. Never has Gwen Stefani been so badass.
  • Funny Moments:
  • From the first audio installment of Eyes on the Sparrow, "If you break out in song, Console, I'm going to punch you unconscious."
  • Same episode: "John Blackthorn and I are romantically involved." *RECORD SCRATCH*
  • Heartwarming Moments: the beginning of Jitter and Tribunal's relationship in ADSR. Bonus heartwarming (and awesome) comes when you take into account that the two met and fell in love through Tech Support in real life.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: There's a small mention in The Reverb Papers of Jitter ogling some college girls while out on a mission. A few months after the story was published, the real-life Jitter announced to the group that he and the very male Tribunal had fallen in love. In the same vein, the fact that Tribunal never took his female lawyer friend out to dinner makes a lot more sense.
  • Moment of Awesome: Oh-so-many. Take a shot every time one Caith Donovan wrote one of these:
    • Feedback: One for pretty much every story he's featured in.
    • Archive: Facing down a zombie armed with nothing but a Guitar Hero controller. (from Late Night Double Feature)
    • AutumSnow: Capturing Daryl Matson at the end of Conspiracy Cola - "I want you to live long enough to fear the end before it finally comes for you."
    • Back-up: Taking out the 'Witch Wolf' during the climax of The Reverb Papers.
    • Blue Streak: "Like I said... you're under arrest, courtesy of the Blue Streak PD." (from Dreams and Memories)
    • Dark Enforcer: "My heart may be dark, but my fists are still made... of iron!" (from Cover of Darkness)
    • Drive: The "Hollaback Girl" sequence from Conspiracy Cola.
  • Narm: "Chills just exploded down my back!" There are zombies tearing people apart. I should not be laughing this hard. ("Eyes on the Sparrow, part 1")
    • A certain line of Back-up's from "Eyes on the Sparrow, part 2" became genuinely funny when the actor quickly ad-libbed a couple good lampshadings of the narm...
    Back-up: Like a monkey on a cupcake! ...what? Lord Jesus, I've lost my affinity for snappy comebacks.
    Back-up: Like a monkey on a cupcake! ...what did I say? Oh my Lord. I've lost... I can't... someone kill me now.
    • And one semi-in-character rant of an outtake could be considered a Funny Moment all by itself.
    Back-up: Like a monkey on a cu - whuh? I can't - I'm sorry. Can I... can I get a writer down here to fix this, please? What? I can't - I can't say this! What - 'monkey on a...' - what is that? I'm not trying to be a prima donna here, but come on. Who says that? Has anybody in this entire room ever heard that line before? Ever? Has anybody said that in casual conversation, or, has anybody said that period, if they're not high? I'm not high. Are you high? Were the writers high when they wrote this? Come on, people, we can do better than this garbage! What the heck, man! [a few seconds of incoherent stammering] Did you write - did you write this? Come see. I want you to get him - I want you to get him out of here. Get him ou - don't talk back to me. Don't talk back to me. I don't wanna hear it. We are done professionally! Done, you hear me? Get him off the set. Get him off the set, now!
    • And then he just goes quiet for a second and calmly continues with his lines, which just adds to it somehow.
    • A good third or so of this actually made it into the episode, too.
  • Shipping: Much more than you might think. Feedback/Sarah is simply fact, and always has been. K2/Blackthorn has been around nearly as long, as has OutSource/Lemuria.
    • It's taken off more in the last year or so, too. We now have Jitter/Tribunal, Mnemonic/Pulse, Blue Streak/Opus and then Blue Streak/Defrag, Dragonryder/Hellion, Router/Fritz, with lots of hints at Sparrow/Lechara (and, in the Group Project, there are the alternate versions of Back-up/Lechara, PiperMage/Pulse, Major Victory/Amber, and possibly Defrag/Reboot).
    • And then there's Upload, who for some reason has decided that it is absolutely essential that Arc get himself a girlfriend, even though pretty much all of her suggestions have been vocally and repeatedly vetoed by the characters' creators.
  • Tear Jerker: Oh so many:
    • Matt's speech to Sarah in "What Was Lost" - especially the very last, "he'll have killed me without striking a single blow".
    • The last several scenes of Cover of Darkness in all versions, particularly the audio-verse.
    • The last few lines of System Crash.
    "You don't know what the last two weeks have been like. That damned sickness already took my little girl from me... I couldn't bear it if it had gotten you too, Tanner."
    Router shifted awkwardly in his chair, and turned to look up at his grandfather. "It's okay. I promise, I'm not going anywhere."
    • The epilogue of "Struck Twice" has reportedly made at least three readers cry.
    • Recon's death and, later, Admin's attempted suicide in Family.
    • The aftermath of ReBoot's death in the last audio installment of "Eyes on the Sparrow".
