Spoiler Warning: Difference between revisions

* [[Berserk Button]]:

** [[Idiot Plot|Idiot Plots]] and Railroading pisses them the hell off, with [[Bethesda]] earning a special place for ''Fallout 3''.

** Mentions of Little Lamplight.

** The incinerator in ''New Vegas'' that Josh lugs around for no reason whatsoever.

'''Rutskarn:''' Hold it, hold it. On the other hand, I actually do have a counterpoint: *ahem* {{spoiler|''Fuck the [[Smug Snake|Illusive Man]], blow it up''!}} }}

** In ''New Vegas'', they also "completed" Boone's quest by having him kill the wrong target (specifically his old friend Manny), telling him that they just wanted to see him die and killing him when he [[The Dog Bites Back|retaliates]]. Later on they said that they didn't want to kill Boone, only wanting to "mess with him" and didn't know that he'd actually become hostile afterwards.

* [[Cutting the Knot]]: A (un)surprising amount of quests get solved this way, i.e. by horribly murdering the quest-giver.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: All four of them.

** Not to mention his favourite weapon; the perpetually burning Shishkebab. How anyone manages to stay stealthy with a [[Flaming Sword]] is anybody's guess, but Reginald does it somehow.

** ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' is already Highly Visible Ninja: The Game, but Josh's extremely unsubtle play style and confusion with the controls sure as heck doesn't improve matters. Much lampshading on how tearing off a few posters compensates for his misadventures abound.

* [[Hostile Show Takeover]]: The reason for the ''Team Fortress 2'' episode? The Spy ''sapped the Normandy''.

** Shamus at one point gets sick and can't record for a week during ''Alan Wake''. The rest of the crew treat the event as this.

* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: The opening for ''ME2'', which features Shepard being blown out of the Normandy while a jaunty jazz tune plays.

* [[Stating the Simple Solution]]: Another trademark is to question overly complicated quest proceedings (which they're Railroaded into) with asking why they don't do the obvious, i.e. commonly kill someone.

* [[Stating the Simple Solution]]: Shamus pointed out that the entire reason ''Mass Effect 2'''s plot exist is apparently because ''nobody'' thinks about mining, booby-trapping, disabling or otherwise blockading the Omega 4 relay, since it's the only way the Collectors can enter the rest of the galaxy. Doesn't help that the ''Arrival'' DLC mostly invalidates the point of the relay.

* [[Stupid Evil]]: Their opinion of Cerberus, specifically in how their [[Playing with Syringes|research]] always seems to end up killing more humans than the main villains and never actually produces anything useful in the end. Likewise, they consider The Illusive Man as a [[Smug Snake]] at the very best.
