[http://www.youtube.com/user/nintendocaprisun NintendoCapriSun] (real name Tim Bishop) is a popular [[Let's Play|Let's Player]] on [[YouTube]], with over 170,000 subscribers. He is very prolific, having made full Let's Plays of more than 40 different games, and working on his 55th (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]''). On December 15, 2010 he announced that he had been made a YouTube Partner. In 2011, he joined a new LP collective called [[The Runaway Guys]] along with [[Proton Jon]] and [[Chuggaaconroy]].
 
In addition, he has two separate [[YouTube]] channels, one titled [http://www.youtube.com/user/BreakingNCS BreakingNCS], where he posts video blogs and other miscellaneous videos. The other one, which actually predates Nintendocaprisun, is [http://www.youtube.com/user/JealousGuy JealousGuy], and features more of rants and short film stuff. He is also a member of [[The Game Station]].

* Mega Man series
Line 104:
** Getting [[Money for Nothing|Rupees as rewards]] for [[That One Sidequest|long sidequests]] sometimes angers him, too. [[Twilight Princess|Jovanni]] and [[The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|the Skulltula Family]] are good examples.
* [[Big OMG]]: In his [[Let's Play]] of Mother3, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=cWqB37dXSnk#t=408s Part 51], where he went through a door and the Ultimate Chimera was waiting behind it.
* [[Big "What?"]]: He gets a really good one in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4nKzlYUpT4 this] episode of his Twilight Princess playthrough. (At 7:28)
* [[Big Yes]] : He's done this in the past, but when he discovers the [[Conkers Bad Fur Day (Video Game)|Great Mighty Poo]]...
* [[Call Back]]: After he fails to grab the last Green Star and falls into a pit in [[Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Video Game)|Clockwork Ruins Galaxy]]:
Line 139:
* [[Gentle Giant]]: He's about 6 feet tall and 250 pounds, but is probably one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
** He has lost about 60 lbs since starting his gym runs, but it hasn't effected his kindness one bit.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Twice during Chapter 6 of Mother 3. [[Tear Jerker|With very good reason]].
** Played with in the [[Conkers Bad Fur Day (Video Game)|Conkers Bad Fur Day]] finale. Comments were saying {{spoiler|it was okay to cry in the ending cutscene where Conker states he'd give up everything to have Berri back. He never did (if he did, he held it in), but did finish it off with a "You can't end the game like that!!"}}
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: His signature [[Unusual Euphemism]], "Frick-frack."
Line 154:
* [[Late to The Punchline]]: In episode 30 of ''[[Plants vs. Zombies (Video Game)|Plants vs. Zombies]]'', He got caught up on the name of the [[Punny Name|Plantern]] that he had gotten some twenty episodes earlier, and had a small laughing fit.
* [[Let's Play]]: Obviously.
* [[Line -of -Sight Name]]: This is where his username came from.
* [[Madness Mantra]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp0Ig_Qm38g&feature=player_detailpage#t=282s You didn't just knock me into the pit.]
* [[Mind Screw]]: From his [[Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Video Game)|Super Mario Galaxy 2]] Let's Play ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRnsav6wHzk Episode 4]):
Line 174:
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: When text boxes in games have proper nouns in different colours, he sometimes says "COJIRO!" as a [[Call Back]] to a joke he did based on this in ''Ocarina of Time''.
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: He's good friends with female LetsPlayer [[Lucahjin]], and they've co-commentated on each other's videos multiple times. One question in her FAQ is if she's dating him (or [[Really Gets Around|any of the other popular YouTube Let's Players]]), and the answer is a simple one-word "No." (However, in one interview, NCS admitted his feelings for her [[All Love Is Unrequited|weren't entirely platonic]], but due to a number of factors, they both knew it wouldn't happen.)
* [[Precision F -Strike]]: And when he ''does'' use it, he usually apologizes for it.
* [[Power Creep, Power Seep]]: [[Self -Imposed Challenge|Amazing at]] [[Nintendo Hard]] older platforms, [[The Runaway Guys|utterly terrible when he has to play with a control stick]].
* [[Running Gag]]: He has a few.
** Calling Bowser a float in [[Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Video Game)|Super Mario Galaxy 2]]. [[Lampshaded Trope|Lampshaded]] the second time he does so, asking "Will this be the running gag for this LP?" {{spoiler|No, it wasn't. In the final battle, there was no mention of floats.}}
Line 187:
** Sometimes, when a game gets [[Hijacked By Ganon]] (or [[Mega Man (Video Game)|Dr. Wily]]), he'll edit in [[Aladdin (Disney)|Iago]] saying "[[Sarcasm Mode|Oh, there's a big surprise! I think I'm going to have a heart attack and die from that surprise!]]".
* [[The Scream]]: He's got a very distinctive one.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: At the end of ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'', Palom mentions showing a girl his "fire rod" and leaves the game, no longer able to play. He comes back though.
* [[Self -Deprecation]]: He's gotten into the habit of bashing himself for his poor performance in [[The Runaway Guys]] LPs and will usually chide himself for stupid mistakes quite harshly. [[The Woobie|This makes his fans very happy when he succeeds at something]].
* [[Self -Imposed Challenge]]: He's done quite a few already. He beat [[Contra]] on the [[Harder Than Hard|hardest difficulty]] [[No Damage Run|without losing a life]], played [[The Legend of Zelda (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'s [[New Game Plus|Second Quest]] [[Minimalist Run|without the sword]], ''[[Serial Escalation|and]]'' played the same game on a 3-Heart Run. ''Damn''.
** And yet he still cannot [[Press X to Not Die|Press A]] [[The Runaway Guys|To Not]] [[New Super Mario Bros Wii (Video Game)|Die]]
* [[Shout Out]]: Starts [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaJpSmkvjkI one video] in his Banjo-Tooie LP with the same intro [[Chuggaaconroy]] uses.
Line 202:
{{quote| ''Alright, that's not funny, that's just obnoxious. I don't wanna turn into [[Chuggaaconroy]] here. OOOOOOHHHH! ...Sorry.''}}
* [[Tempting Fate]]: In the 4-way Battletoads race. He dies before he can even finish his sentence. [[Proton Jon]] even gives him an achievement for it.
* [[Thing -O -Meter]]: When he feels one of his [[Catch Phrase|Catchphrases]] will get excessive use in a particular LP, he will create a counter for every time he says it.
** ''Conker'' got an "IN THE BATHROOM" meter, which ended at 134.
** ''Skyward Sword'' got a "SO HAPPY" meter, after its absence in ''Yoshi's Story''.
Line 213:
** His [[Gag Dub]] of the infamous laughing scene from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' replaced the laughs with belches.
* [[The Unintelligible]]: His take on Professor Owlan in ''Skyward Sword'' has him speak in very fast gibberish.
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: "Frick-frack," which he usually drops in place of the typical F-Bomb. [[Precision F -Strike|Unless the situation is really dire.]]
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: [http://nintendocaprisun.wikia.com/wiki/NintendoCapriSun_Wiki Now he has one.]
* [[With Lyrics]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4GA9Fwc_2A Takeadumponthetoilet] from Mega man 2 and the other [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTJmnR1NMV0 take a dump on the toilet] from Majoras mask are fan favorites
