Line 18:

* [[GIRL]]: Joked about between Aech and Parzival. Parzival has a massive crush on Art3mis and while preparing for their date at The Distracted Globe, Aech, who suspects ulterior motives regarding Art3mis; makes various claims to try to talk him out of it. Such as the age old internet joke that Art3mis may be a guy in real life. {{spoiler| When Aech reveals himself in the real world as a woman named Helen Harris, it becomes an inversion of the trope. And their talk regarding this trope is what clued them in to each other's identities.}}

* [[Gondor Calls For Aid]]: {{Spoiler| Deliberately invoked during the third challenge. Art3mis tasks the High Five into raising an army on Planet Doom, while she takes down the forcefield created by the Orb of Osuvox. When Parzival goes to Castle Anorak, he calls the entire Oasis. Giving a [[Rousing Speech]] to them in an effort to persuade them to join the fight. It doesn't seem to work at first, until the inhabitants of every planet, in all their pop culture glory come running in. Most of them Gunters like the High Five.}}

* [[It's Personal]]: Two examples of Gunters having a grudge against IoI and Nolan Sorrento.

** {{Spoiler|The first is Art3mis. She has a beef with Nolan Sorrento and IoI, because her dad was addicted to the Oasis. The result put him in so much debt that he was forced to join the loyalty program to pay it off. Said loyalty program requires recruits to be locked into the Oasis and forced to do manual labor for IoI and The Sixers, until the debt is repaid. As bad enough as that is, interest increases the more you are in the center, putting you in a state of perpetual debt. As if things can't get any worse, her father among many loyalty members worked himself to death. Art3mis relentlessly hunts for the egg as well as destroys any Sixer she comes across earning the name "The Sixer Fixer." Her obsession so deep, that she is extremely protective of Parzival to the point where she berates him for saying his real name. As well as disgusted at him for immersing himself in a world that contributed to her father's death, ignorant to the real world suffering IoI causes people on a secondly basis. However once Wade loses his aunt in an assassination attempt by IoI, she recruits him to her cause.}}

** {{Spoiler|Parzival himself. Before, he was mostly looking for the egg as part of his love of the game and personal gain. However things get rocky after IoI catches wind of his winning the Copper Key. Nolan Sorrento tries to offer him money to help IoI find the Egg. While Parzival is tempted, he refuses both out of principle and out of disgust regarding Sorrento besmirching Halliday's name. Sorrento in turn has F'Nale bomb his aunt's house with IoI drone missiles. In an attempt to assassinate him. While Wade. his aunt and her boyfriend Rick didn't get along, he still loved her enough to try to warn them of the attack. When Wade and Toshiro hack Sorrento's rig, making him think he's in the real world and they're holding him at gunpoint; he makes mention of his willing to kill Sorrento just for killing his aunt.}}

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: {{spoiler| During the battle at the Castle of Anorak, Aech hands a game weapon over to Parzival. Said weapon turns out to be an unstable Chucky doll who will try to kill anyone near it. When Parzival and Art3mis, finally throw him out, the first Sixer he lands on has this to say before getting killed:}}

{{quote| '''Sixer:''' {{spoiler|It's FUCKING CHUCKY!!!}}}}
