Line 37:
* [[Brother Chuck]]: Some writers, and even entire ''sections'', can disappear without explanation.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Chris Shepperd. To a lesser extent, Steve Thomason, and to an even lesser extent, Justin Cheng.
* [[CowboyMedia BebopResearch at His ComputerFailure]]: Parodied by Chris Hoffman, who insists that [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Tails]] is [[Did Not Do the Research|a mutant squirrel despite being a fox]]. Played straight in a few other examples.
* [[From a Certain Point of View]]: Might not be intentional, but in his Nintendo Power review [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|AVGN]] pointed out some interesting wording in reviews of bad games.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Probably has something to do with the magazine no longer being published by Nintendo, but rather by Future US. Even when it was published by Nintendo, there was still traces of this.
Line 50:
* [[Perverse Sexual Lust]]: Some of the writers seem to have crushes on Ada from ''[[Resident Evil]]''.
* [[Phony Article]]: The SNES vs Genesis comparison articles filled with fake stats and testimonials, which started running towards the endpoint in the SNES's life.
** [http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=129182 Here it is.]{{Dead link}} "Blast (processing) from the past", indeed.
* [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor|Pigeon Holed Writer]]: For example, Chris Slate tends to review major releases, Steve Thomason reviews Sega games, Chris Hoffman reviews Capcom games, and Casey Loe reviews RPGs. There are several exceptions, however.
* [[Planet of Steves]]: While there is indeed only one "Steve" (presently), there are lots of Chrises. There's even a [[Distaff Counterpart|Christine]] in there.
Line 66:
'''''Howard & Nester'' / ''Nester's Adventures'''''
* [[But Now I Must Go]]: Howard's departure from the comic has him making such a speech to Nester, leaving him with his bowtie as a memento. In the first ''Nester's Adventures'' comic, Nester reveals that the bowtie was a clip-on.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: One installment has Howard accompanying a duck to the moon. The duck's name is never given, but from the fact that the episode in question was based on the ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' [[NES]] game, it can be assumed that he is supposed to be Scrooge McDuck.
* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]: The [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] and the [[Looney Tunes|Tasmanian Devil]]'s guest appearances.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Howard after his real-life counterpart (Howard Phillips) left the magazine.
