** To clarify: Paolo seems to have a very broken knowledge of both English (which may be understandable) and Italian (much less understandable, since he claims to come from Italy). To most players, this merely results in weird English punctuated by random Italian words, but to an Italian it's [[So Bad It's Good|absolutely hilarious]].
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] - When Arnold vows revenge for {{spoiler|Warren and Paolo}}, the latter of which he barely knew.
* [[Die, Chair, Die!]] - You can't destroy most objects, but due to the physics system, they will get in your way a lot, especially chairs.
* [[Door to Before]] - Level 7 when you end up back at the basketball court from near the beginning of the game.
* {{spoiler|[[Downer Ending]] - It is implied that Bruce is killed, Arnold is betrayed and killed by Livia, and the glowing eyes at the end could mean something as bad as they could something good.}}
Line 70:
* [[Lovable Coward]] - Paolo. He's a nice guy who was trapped on Alpha Prime and is simply trying to survive. His assistance proves invaluable throughout the game.
* [[Malevolent Architecture]] - Notably averted. The entire mining station is completely logical as a real complex, and almost every room can be assumed to have a real world purpose, from the offices, to the living quarters, to the med center, to the rec room, to the tram connecting parts of the complex.
* [[Meaningful Name]] - Glomar. Its urban legend status is similar to the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomar_response:Glomar response|Glomar Response]], especially when you discover that {{spoiler|Glomar is real, and the Company knows about it.}}
** Coral Snake. The codename was chosen for a reason. They have all the typical traits of a character described as a "snake" and they even mention poison as a metaphor at one point.
* [[Mission Control]] - Bruce Lawrence is more or less this for the majority of the game.
Line 88:
* [[Reality Is Unrealistic]] - Many people cite Paolo's Italian accent as a reason the voice acting sucks, except the voice actor, Davide Dominici, is actually Italian (though to be fair, the complaints don't entirely encompass that).
* [[Sequel Hook]] - The game ends with {{spoiler|Arnold dead and Livia on the verge of getting Glomar's heart for the Company, but Arnold's eyes open to reveal a glowing hubbardium green.}}
* [[Shout -Out]] - A sci-fi story with a mineral known as [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:L._Ron_Hubbard Ron Hubbard|hubbardium?]]
* [[Snark Bait]] - Some of the voice acting (particularly Paolo and his accent), along with the somewhat rambling, obviously second-hand translated script, has made the game into this for some reviewers. Not to mention the silly words like "hubbardium" and "Glomar" being featured prominently and said with dead seriousness throughout the game.
* [[Space Marine]] - Colonel Olivier is a straightforward, villainous example. He's even [[Bald of Evil]] and wears a bandana.
