Line 48:
* ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]] 10''
* ''[[Metal Storm]]''
* ''[[Nightshade]] Part 1: The Claws of Sutekh''
* ''[[The Ninja Warriors]]''
* ''[[Resident Evil Gun Survivor|Resident Evil: Survivor]]'' (Is It Really That Bad?)
Line 99:
** In his reenactment of the Bugs Bunny AVGN episode with Nightshade, at the point in the dialogue where AVGN punched Bugs, instead Nightshade punches HVGN.
* [[Bowdlerise]]: In a special video produced before his review of the 2010 ''Splatterhouse'' game, HVGN explored the changes made to the original ''Splatterhouse'' -- including the Bowdlerized elements -- in its transition from the arcade to the TurboGrafx-16.
* [[The Cameo]]: A few.
** He has a quick appearance in [[That Guy With The Glasses]]' review of ''[[Dragon Ball Evolution]]'' (filmed at Magfest, which he was attending).
** He also appears in the [[Board James]] review of "Loupin' Louie", a [[Live Episode]] filmed at PAX 2011, and is identified by an onscreen caption. It's the first time he has ever appeared in a [[James Rolfe|Cinemassacre]] video, and Derek naturally joked about it being "the much anticipated [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|AVGN]]-HVGN [[Crossover]]".
Line 110:
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: [[In-Universe|His basic shtick]] is showcasing retro gaming's [[Ensemble Darkhorse|ensemble darkhorses]].
* [[Follow the Leader]]: So relentlessly, cheerfully [[Lampshaded]] that he seems to have escaped the wrath of even AVGN's fervent fanbase. (As pointed out above, AVGN even subscribes to his [[YouTube]] account.)
* [[Gushing About Characters You Like]]: Rick (Knife-Puncher) Taylor from ''Splatterhouse''.
** When HVGN discovers that Darkwing Dark can deflect knifes, he gleefully imagines who would [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|win in a fight]] -- then realized it's pretty much no-contest.
* [[Halloween Episode]]: Much like the Angry Nerd, Derek likes to review horror-themed games in late October, as well as in May under the same logic as Christmas in July.
