Line 23:
* [[Halfway Plot Switch]]: Yeah, the ''GAME'' part of ''Game''r gets dropped early on. [[Never Trust a Trailer]].
* [[Heroic Willpower]]
* [[Hoist By His Own Petard]]: Castle, after Kable pulls a sort of [[Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?]]
* [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game]]: Now in handy online form!
* [[Just Hit Him]]: Subverted; when Kable slams a mook headfirst into the floor, there's a nasty crunching sound and it's pretty clear he ain't getting up from that one.
Line 33:
** Hackman casually kills a member of Society in this manner.
* [[New Media Are Evil]]: [[Anvilicious|Very]] evil.
* [[One
* [[Psychic Assisted Suicide]]: This is inverted at the end. {{spoiler|Castle has Kable under his control, when Kable tells Castle to think of Kable stabbing him. Castle does just that, unconsciously, and gets himself killed. It's The Game used for ''murder''.}}
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Castle is a type C all the way.
Line 46:
* [[Trailers Always Lie]]: The trailer makes it seem like the entire movie was about the online game and nothing else.
* [[Troll]]/[[GIFT]]: A good chunk of the characters are straight-up trolls, and the GIFT is in full, terrifying force here.
* [[Villain With Good Publicity]]: Somehow, Castle has managed to get almost everyone to overlook the fact that they're playing deathmatches and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Second Life]] with real people, and is said to have exceeded Bill Gates' wealth.
** Note that he pulled the entire US Prison system back from the verge of bankruptcy, revitalized the economy and everybody involved, convict or otherwise, signed up voluntarily.
** Given [[And I Must Scream|some of the reactions]] from the Slayers 'volunteers' {{spoiler|and the whole backstory where Kable was forced to commit/framed for murder while being used as a guinea pig for the nanites,}} it's fairly safe to say that the volunteer thing [[Unreliable Narrator|isn't always true.]]
