The Gaming Pixie
A video game reviewer who reviews both retro and newer games, both mainstream and indie.
The main feature of her reviews is the way she eventually either enters the game she's reviewing, or the game carries over into the real world. She sometimes enters the game to mock it (as occurs in her Shaq Fu review), sometimes interacting with the characters.
Other times, she imitates the game's features, such as in her review of Eversion, when the game's Dark World aspect carries over to the real world, and we see the Pixie and her world in both a "cutesy" version and a "dark" version.
Her website is here.
The Gaming Pixie provides examples of the following tropes:
- Bound and Gagged - Happens in her review of The white chamber.
- Breaking the Reviewer's Wall - Her claim to fame.
- Break the Cutie - The effect of too much exposure to Shaq Fu!

- Cosplay - She does this in a number of her reviews.
- Dark World - Happens in her Eversion review.

- Kill'Em All - The Pixie's response to encountering the ending of Golden Axe.
- Knife Nut - Eversion turns her into this.
