[http://www.pbc-productions.com/littlemissgamer/meandmysimon.html Little Miss Gamer did a video about an old "Simon Says" game], because she didn't have any other portable system like a [[Game Boy]] or [[Nintendo DS|DS]]. Not only did someone donate a DS to her later, but during the improv filming of Z playing the game in the park, they got a surprise cameo by Tom Green. A little internet show got a big name, how is that not cool?

** [[The Cinema Snob|Brad Jones]] decides to make a review with his friend Jerrid for ''[[The Room]]'', in support of his colleagues who had their videos unfairly removed.

* 8-Bit Mickey of Game Heroes did a [[Very Special Episode]] covering the protests of the Westboro Baptist Church at a Holocaust museum. During an interview with a member of the WBC, he managed to stay completely and totally cool, not even offering rebuttals. Even at the end, he stated how much the actions of the church made him sick. But never, not once, did he lose his composure.
