Over the Gun: Difference between revisions

{{quote| ''Alright dudes, how's it going?''}}

 

 

A "new season" of HTSF has started since his move to Bliptv, where the playthrough is now separated into one hour episodes, split into parts.

** ''[[Silent Hill Homecoming]]'' is a notorious offender, being the very first HTSF that he has willingly abandoned, due to the sheer unplayability of the PC port.

* [[Advancing Wall of Doom]] : In the ''Ultimate [[Doom]]'' HTSF:

* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: Invoked against the werewolf boss in ''[[Castlevania Rondo of Blood]]'' (part 3) with ''[[Street Fighter]]'' characters:

* [[Analogy Backfire]]: He describes [[Pacman]] Championship Edition DX as "sweet as a fucking nut". <ref> Nuts aren't sweet.</ref>

** In ''[[Half-Life 2 (Video Game)|Half-Life 2]]'', while complaining about uncookable grenades:

** In ''Minecraft'', he gets so desperately lost in a cavern that he eventually started to go partly insane trying to get out. He even went as far as to dub the place 'The caverns of fucking despair'.

** In ''[[Gears of War]] 3'', a [[Griefer]] during the finale of the game, prolonging the part for a good hour, is considered this.

* [[And Now for Something Completely Different]]: He doesn't only do let's plays. He has also done some [[Starcraft]] 2 replay commentaries, reviews, Podcasts, and the occasional [[Stupid Statement Dance Mix]].

** In 2010, he did a more harmless version and screwed around with his channel page layout a bit.

* [[Attention Deficit Creator Disorder]]: And aware. He tries a lot of stuff outside of the classic HTSF, has a lot of HTSFs which are still incomplete, and starts up a lot of different projects with varying degrees of consistency.

* [[British Accents]]: If his current location is anything to go from, it's from Yorkshire.

** [[Oop North|Leeds]], to be precise.

{{quote| '''Overthegun''': "That might be more of an even distribution of time displacementy immunity weirdy thing."}}

* [[Camp Gay]]: His opinion of an NPC wearing "the gayest robe" he has ever seen (bright, shiny pinkish purple) during his "Quarter-Play" of Divinity2.

** Another good example is when [[Over the Gun]] is showing off a playthrough of [[Pacman]] Championship Edition DX, he goes on a tangent wondering about the Sabbath which completely throws off his game.

** [[First Encounter Assault Recon|"I shot the sugar!]] [[It Makes Sense in Context|But I did not shoot the sweetener."]]

** In [E3] [[The Legend of Zelda a Link To T He Past (Video Game)|Link 3]], OTG is having a hard time defeating a [[That One Boss|boss]]:

* [[Companion Cube]]: Does not belong to the [[Trope Namer]] despite having played ''[[Portal (Video Game)|Portal]]'' but goes to Sharpie the Saw, a saw blade in the Ravenholm area of ''[[Half-Life 2 (Video Game)|Half-Life 2]]''.

* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: Played for laughs, often. For example, when admiring a painting of a crucifixion with people in mourning:

* [[Credits Gag]]: Invoked during the credits of ''[[Castlevania Rondo of Blood]]'' and ''Splatterhouse 2''.

* [[Creepy Child]]: Strangely enough, not in a game but in one of his many life stories. During his ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'' re-fail, he ends up telling a story about one night when he was about 3 or 4 years old, his mother was tucking him into bed, when suddenly he apparently said "He's coming" to his mom. His mother replied "Who's coming?" and baby Lliam just replied with "He's coming" again. This apparently "Shit his mum up" as she went down to his father who went up to see what was going on. His father got the same response, and it was finally figured out that baby Lliam was going on about the wind outside, which he apparently named as a kid "Mr. Wind", and that was the person baby Lliam was referring to, as the wind outside was blowing and Lliam could hear it.

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Has little habit of repeating the last thing he just said, the last thing he just said, indeed.

** In ''[[Bio Shock]]'', while trying to loot Smuggler's crates:

* [[Get Back Here Boss]]: Does not react well to them, as seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBGHtuyN-BU here.]

* [[The Ghost]]: "[[First Encounter Assault Recon|Fear]] guy", a recurring "character" who is apparently the reason there are blocked off passageways in video games.

* [[Griefer]]: One shows up very unfortunately during the finale of his ''[[Gears of War]] 3'' HTSF, making the episode last a good hour longer.

* [[Guide Dang It]]: Many instances, and yet each instance is overcome [[Determinator|without the use of a guide.]] (Sometimes through use of a [[Take a Third Option|third option]])

* [[Halloween Episode]]: His ''[[Silent Hill]]'' playthroughs are saved for the Halloween season, [[Silent Hill 2|2]] for 2008 and [[Silent Hill 4|4]] for 2009. Popular demand gave way to ''[[Amnesia the Dark Descent (Video Game)|Amnesia the Dark Descent]]'' in 2010.

* [[Helium Speech]]: There was a problem uploading [S5][P8] of ''[[Painkiller]]'', which ended up speeding up the volume in comparison to the video, resulting in a higher pitch for everything, including [[Over the Gun]]'s commentary: leading to this trope.

* [[Hidden Depths]]: He lists politics as one of his primary interests. Seriously.

* [[Hypocritical Humour]]: Happens often in his [[Left 4 Dead|L4D]] sets - chiding the bots for a lack of team-spirit before abandoning them to die.

{{quote| OTG: "C'mon, Zoey, don't fuck me..." [he is rescued; Zoey is subsequently attacked by a Smoker]<br />

OTG: "Fuck ''you'', though." [he uses the remaining medkit on himself] }}

* [[I Call It Vera|I Call It Sharpie]]: His trusty saw blade in ''[[Half-Life 2 (Video Game)|Half-Life 2]]''.

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: During the Psycho Mantis fight in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', due to using an emulator, he was forced to use the 2nd controller trick using a keyboard and an Xbox controller. Also his default control scheme for FPS is quite bizarre for most modern gamers using WASD.

* [[Insult to Rocks]]: In his HTSF of ''Bloody Trapland'', he remarks that jumping while teleporting gives the character the "baby-est" jump ever. He then redacts that statement for fear of offending babies.

* [[Invisible Subtle Difference]]: According to OTG the difference between HTSF and HTF is that he tries not to swear in HTF. ...[[Half Truth|Kinda.]]

* [[It Gets Easier]]: In HTSF @ [[Syndicate (Video Game)|Syndicate]], the first hobo he meets up with that could only be interacted with via execution has him commenting that randomly killing an innocent civilian is [[Even Evil Has Standards|bad taste even for his standards]]. He even predicts this trope coming into play. Fast-forward to the next mission not 45 minutes later where he very casually imitates another agent killing cowering researchers (even showing off to Claire) and very, very eagerly killing a researcher who was testing out a [[Rule of Cool|gun that shoots bullets in an arc.]]

* [[It Got Worse]]: His playthrough of ''[[Serious Sam]]'' - ''The First Encounter''. By the end of Metropolis he says that it's the most things he's seen. By the end of Alley Of The sphinxes, he finally completes the level and spends quite a few minutes ranting about the difficulty of this game.

** And again in ''[[Gears of War]] 3'':

{{quote| OTG: "It's quiet...too quiet."<br />

** Though there have been some moments where he neglects his human teammates in games. One case is during his Gears of War 3 online co-op playthrough where a team mate gets knocked down and despite there being no enemies around, and a big health cross icon on the side of his screen at all times, he completely ignores his buddy and goes searching for ammo instead. On top of that, his wounded teammate was directly behind him and he was the closest to his fallen friend.

* [[Just One More Level]]: When testing out recording at 60 fps (which proved futile when considering Youtube conversion) and Youtube's increased video time limit, he decided to testrun a single attempt at the bonus mode of ''Shatter''. The first run lasts a bit less than 7 minutes (including a 3 minute introduction). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiycOPGejyI The actual video] lasts almost a half hour due to this trope.

** Three sets later, OTG finds one of Strafe's brothers. He manages to tame him and names him 'Deranged', after he spends a lot of time getting through a little doggy door. {{spoiler|He lives much longer but unfortunately gets stuck outside later in the set and is killed by two zombies.}}

** Yet ANOTHER example in Minecraft is when he trecks down into the tunnels, getting diamonds, loads of Lapis stuff, and Iron. The entire time, he fears that he's going to end up falling into the lava and losing everything. {{spoiler|[[Properly Paranoid|He's right.]] Along the way, he ends up accidentally falling into the lava, with two hearts remaining, and dying instantly, losing EVERYTHING on him. The diamonds, the Iron ore and Ingots on him, his tools... Everything. He was [[Genre Savvy]] enoguh, however, to bank some of the other things he found before so it wasn't a total loss. It was still incredibly devastating as soon after that, he went down to look for his stuff... and got lost for 20 minutes. And then the game froze on him. [[Overly Long Gag|And then a creeper blows up on him as soon as he loads the game.]]}}

* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Has his moments. In ''[[Gears of War]] 3'', when faced with an explosive sewer zombie just before a corner, he immediately rushes in to use his chainsaw(-gun). Cue an entire horde of zombies ambushing him from around the corner.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: [[Over the Gun]] comes from the poker expression "under the gun", referring to his days of a poker player. The fact that it complements his FPS skills is just icing on the cake.

* [[Monster Allies]]: In [[Castlevania Symphony of the Night]], he mainly uses the bat Familiar, on both the re-fail and the original HTSF. After the bat shows a bit of combat usage, the bat ends up being one of the rare support characters that he actually likes to have around, and gives the bat the oh-so clever nickname of 'Bob the Bat'.

* [[Rage Quit]]:

** A perfect example of this trope can be seen at the end of the first set (part 5) of his ''[[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]] 4'' HTSF. He takes another shot at it though.

{{quote| '''Overthegun''': "Piss off ''Sonic 2''! The only reason you have become tough is by being full of shit and not givin me all me continues. Fuckin' throwin' me into holes at the end just to blaze through a continue and then not givin' me the other nine continues. You suck! Fuck you Sonic 2! Up yours! I'm not goin' through the entire game again! Bollocks! Fuck that!"}}

** [[Defied Trope|Defied]] with SegaSonic the Hedgehog. Although his first try ended up with a [[Nonstandard Game Over]] (remember this is an arcade game so he had to start the game all over again) he goes on a huge rant on how he will never play a Sonic game ever again...right before wanting to see the ending and trying again, with less fail.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: An inverted Trope. In his re-fail of [[Castlevania Symphony of the Night]], one part he picks up a Knight Shield which is identical to his current shield in every way in terms of stats, but it has a different sprite and color. When he puts it on, Claire speaks up mentioning that it looks pink, in which he instantly switches back to his old blue and silver shield.

** Double Subverted with the car in ''[[Borderlands (Video Game)|Borderlands]]''. At first he fights over Claire on the colour of the car, him prefering the black car while Claire preferring the pink one. Eventually however, the pink car begins to grow on him, and he doesn't mind.

{{quote| '''Overthegun''': "He's got me key! He's got me key! How am I supposed to get that off him? How did a [[Fan Nickname|goomba]] steal me key? How did I let that happen? I dunno how to get it back off him. [[Epic Fail|It's only me that could manage to do that.]] Oh, he's such a cock. I want me key off ya mate but I don't know how I'm gonna do it though. It's okay me saying I want it off of ya but you've got my number 'aven't ya? Look at that. That's not good news. That's a goomba with a look on his face as if to say ' I'm protected by these weird mechanics. I am gonna jump off your head. Not only that, I've got your key. ' He looks quite, quite serious...He dun't look phased by the fact that I'm stood underneath him. He is gonna stomp me face through. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|This is the first time in 21 years of gaming, that I have been bested by a goomba.]] A goomba that actually knows it's got the better of me as well. That is fucking unreal right there. He's got my number and he's got his number on his foot up me ass. 'sigh' Fuck."}}

* [[Ret Gone]]: On the third part of the seventh episode he finds a third wolf and names him obelisk. Shortly after his game crashes and his dog was gone with no trace. He even said he couldn't bury Obelisk because there was nothing to bury and said it was a [[Fate Worse Than Death|fate worse than Creepers]]

'''Overthegun''': [[Lampshade Hanging|"Fucking stupid music then."]] }}

* [[Schmuck Bait]]: He always seems to stumble across ways to die that seem incredibly obvious to the viewers of the videos, even if they've never played the game before. One example is in his F.E.A.R 2 playthrough, where he stumbles across an obvious railed out hole, in which a body was just dropped into. It's bloody around the walls, there's no visible means of climbing out of the hole or no general way of escaping, and there are tons of bodies down at the bottom. OTG seemed to think that was a good place to go loot searching. No prizes for guessing what happens to him.

* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: "If it's immune to time rewind, then...it's immune to being rewound. In time."

* [[Shout Out]]: Makes quite a few. Getting "[[Terminator]] 2'd" in [[Metal Gear Solid]], "[[Fullmetal Alchemist|Roy Mustanging]]" in [[Bio Shock]]...

* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: OTG smoked through much of his 'Season 1' [[HTS Fs]] but after a while, started to quit smoking actual cigarettes. He still smokes, although it's with his new eCig.

* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: Despite swearing very casually, he still manages to put in some refined vocabulary. Lampshaded by Claire in the ''[[Borderlands (Video Game)|Borderlands]]'' second set (part 22):

'''Overthegun''': "-Archaic."<br />

'''humbugle''': "...words genereally spoken by proper posh people. So it's like, WTF?" }}

* [[Talking Is a Free Action]]: Subverted in ''Xain'd Sleena'' where he rambles on about the [[Double Jump]] mechanics...while the level timer ticks away until it runs out and kills him.

* [[Taking the Bullet]]: During an assassination mission in ''[[Prototype (Video Game)|Prototype]]'':

** Also happens in Minecraft. Strafe the wolf took a Creeper explosion, keeping it from hitting OTG.

* [[Tempting Fate]]: Every time he "takes a piss" at some point, [[Hilarity Ensues]]. EVERY TIME.

* [[Viewers Like You]]: Mostly on his streams. For a specific example, the viewers actually pitched in to purchase a graphics card when it died during his ''[[Amnesia the Dark Descent (Video Game)|Amnesia the Dark Descent]]'' run. He is using it to this day and is not hesitant of thanking the viewers at the time of this edit.

* [[Viva Las Vegas]]: Actually had one hell of a 21st almost-birthday experience here, during a tournament trip. The whole story can be heard at the end of hid Dota2 Twitch.tv stream.

{{quote| '''Overthegun''': "A running joke between Aaron and a few people, and is quite obviously not serious...except for the [[Doom|sounds when going first person]]...Those are serious."}}

* [[Who Dares]]: Has recently been quite fond of this phrase, especially in his ''[[Gears of War]] 3'' HTSF.

* [[Women Drivers]]: In ''[[Borderlands (Video Game)|Borderlands]]'', Claire (in-game name Humbugle) does little to clear up the stereotype on at least two occasions.

{{quote| '''Overthegun''': What have you done to this Claire?<br />

{{quote| '''Overthegun''': "It's not [[Pacman]]. It's [[Pokémon]]. You can't go from right side of the screen to the left side! It dun't work like that!"}}

* [[X Meets Y]]: He first thinks ''[[Braid (Video Game)|Braid]]'' is ''Mario'' meets ''[[Prince of Persia]]''. He realises that he's quite off the mark by the end of the first set.

** In ''[[Serious Sam]]'', the part 3 of set 2, he spends over ten minutes on a single difficult mob fight. When he finally gets through to beating the mob, he clicks on his second monitor, tries to save his game and realizes that he just saved his game paused with no idea how to unpause it. Cue redoing the mob fight again.

* [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]: Absolutely loves Frog from ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'' due to this trope.
