=== Tropes which the '''CAST'' provides an example of: ===
 
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown|After an 8-minute rant on Fox News' opinion of Bulletstorm]], Kit's last counter-argument is that the phrase "[[Incredibly Lame Pun|There's a Bulletstorm on the horizon]]", which opened the article, "wasn't even funny".
* [[British Accents]]: Very much so.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: The two Sony executives in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgqJ1hOAd5s Episode 14], ([[Rule of Cool|one of which wears a sombrero]]) who get drunk and design Son'ys new handheld concept, the NGP.
Line 21:
* [[Iconic Logo]]: A styilised version of Harrison wearing a headset mic.
** [[Vanity Plate|And at Christmas, it gets a little Santa hat!]]
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Played with. Every episode is numbered, but each also has a title; see [[Shout -Out]] below.
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: It's "[[Machine CAST]]", not "MachineCast" or "Machinecast".
** Musings of a British Gamer, Harrison's blog, is abbreviated MoaBG and officially pronounced "mower-bee-gee".
Line 28:
* [[Real Song Theme Tune]]: Pendulum's "Showdown" (which starts every episode) and "The Other Side" (which ends it).
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Liable to this if Harrison is busy on a Friday evening. One 'CAST is always missed to make way for the [[Machine AWARDS]], which take up 6 videos on 6 consecutive days.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Many of the episode names are references to catchphrases, memes or other media.
** The MachineAWARDS logos count in some respects too: the symbol for "Best Looking Game" is the "Bliss" wallpaper for Windows XP. Likewise, "Franchise Saving Grace" is a picture of Colonel Radec from [[Killzone]] 2, the game Kit stated would have won had he thought of the AWARD in 2009.
