* Why do Mirror and Sol hang out so often when it's clear Mirror doesn't like Sol? Mirror is part changeling, and so would feed on love; Sol is part windigo, and so would feed on hatred. So Mirror would get a good supply of positive feelings from [[{{Keet}} Sol]], who would get a good amount of negative feelings from [[GrumpyBear Mirror]]. It's less liking each other and more just tolerating for the sake of mutual benefit.

** Also, the lyrics when each death is shown line up rather well with the death themselves:
*** "Pain; is your reward for being near me" -Endorb's death, which was stated earlier to be extra painful if it happened due to him being a newcomer to the channel.

*** "Blame; me for the tragedies that follow" -Tim's death, which Jero vehemently blamed Max for.
*** "Grave; the situations that surround" -Peter's death, which happened due to him throwing himself into a gravely dangerous situation rather than backing off.

* Max doesn't do well using characters or weapons that are DifficultButAwesome, but also hates BoringButPractical. The former is because Max rarely does well under pressure, and so likely wouldn't remember all the complex properties of his abilities or weapons. The latter is because Max used to always be the only person recording (and even nowadays is sometimes the only one doing so) and he didn't want the audience's experience to be dull; over time it just became ingrained in him that he disliked those roles.
** The last part above also explains why, despite his surprising skill with sniping (see ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', and after a time, ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild''), he avoids it when possible; doing sniping yourself is an exercise in patience, caution, and timing, but when you're watching it it's a lot more boring.
* Max's biggest criticisms in games tend to be of plotholes or bad dialogue. His main focus when being a DungeonMaster is the story and narrative. He's quick to think of wordplays and puns. His [[DeadpanSnarker snarkiness]] often comes with a helping of SophisticatedAsHell. And he's good at noticing suspicious things in text or speech, [[GenreSavvy which he keeps in mind as]] {{foreshadowing}}. All seems a bit random; then you remember that Max's biggest and most consistent hobby, outside of making videos and playing games, is ''writing.''

Ten Carat Hill's meadow is a pathway leading to a large circular area (though also has not-immediately-visible paths and grasses branching off to the side). It genuinely looks like a boss arena at first with said boss absent, and ''Pikmin'' is a game series known for having no buildup to boss battles, just tossing them at you often with a JumpScare as they either pop out of the ground or fall from the sky. Jumpscares are one of Max's biggest fears; no wonder he felt so on edge!

* Max's let's plays of visual novel games seem to be more popular than those of other games; in fact, the first part of ''My Little Investigations'' is his most-viewed LetsPlay video at the time of writing this.

*** Zero has actually said he's not part dragon, but rather part changeling with some dragon characteristics. Still, applies.
** There's also Max's love of Snowdrop...he seems to really like ice, snow, or cold-related things.

* Max loves games such as ''VideoGame/StardewValley'' and romantic visual novels, which are primarily meant for immersion, and he always "roleplays" in games like ''Fallout 3'' by choosing actions and dialogue that best fits him instead of goofing around. Yet when doing the ''Undertale'' genocide run, which is specifically made to [[WhatTheHellHero make you feel bad for killing these characters]], he shows no negative reactions and has mentioned on Twitter that "it's just a game". It probably lost its appeal to him since he had to play the game twice (because he couldn't get the True Pacifist run chained off his Neutral one due to killing some monsters), so the immersion was broken and he just saw genocide as a way to wrap it up.

* In ''Ohai, I'm [=SAWme=] Guy'', Max is forced to kill Snowdrop to progress. Back in New Letropolis, there's a ShrineToTheFallen for her. At the end of the episode where he and Chaz built roads (and where the shrine is first shown), Max silently visits the grave, leaves a rose, and goes back home. If ''Ohai, I'm [=SAWme=] Guy'' takes place in the New Letropolis-verse, then Max is guilt-ridden because he killed her, hence the shrine.

*** Zero has actually said he's not part dragon, but rather part changeling with some dragon characteristics. Still, applies.
** There's also Max's love of Snowdrop...he seems to really like ice, snow, or cold-related things.

* The Wiki/SCPFoundation article-style biography used on Max's [=FIMFiction=] profile actually makes sense as more than just a joke; obvious physical description aside, the information seemingly made up in the article actually describes Max rather well:
** His classification as Euclid fits his BewareTheNiceOnes / CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass status.
** The fact that his "cell" is literally just a copy of his room fits the fact that he is a self-confessed indoor person ''and'' does all of his work from his bedroom.
** Being forbidden from interacting with other [=SCPs=] makes sense when you keep in mind that Max has said he is normally not very good at social interaction, so not being allowed to meet other [=SCPs=] is like how he avoids meeting other people.
** His IconicOutfit, which is outright lampshaded in his description.
** The fact that his "ability" is major multitasking beyond human capabilities makes sense when you consider [[AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder all the ongoing projects he works on]].
** His love of dogs is referred to, even being a secondary "ability" of instantly forming a bond with any dog presented to him.
** Finally, him attacking a scientist for kicking a dog represents not only his love of dogs mentioned above, but also his lesser known BigBrotherInstinct and PapaWolf nature.

* Max's let's plays of visual novel games seem to be more popular than those of other games; in fact, the first part of ''My Little Investigations'' is his most-viewed LetsPlay video at the time of writing this. This makes sense when you realize that, in a visual novel, Max is unable to [[EpicFail screw things up]] (which is hit-or-miss with fans either finding it annoying or funny) and can instead only [[DeadpanSnarker make sarcastic comments about events]] (which is pretty much ''always'' entertaining).
* According to WordOfGod, Max's song ''Ice Cold'' is his favourite of the songs he's made. Considering that lately, when playing ''Minecraft'' adventure maps with [[{{LetsPlay/Zerosaga1}} Zero]], he's been referring to himself as being part [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E13HearthsWarmingEve Windigo]], this is fitting. Also a bit of HilariousInHindsight given that the song was made long before he began referring to himself as such.
** Similarly, Max is part Windigo and lives in [[{{UsefulNotes/Canada}} Canada]] [[hottip:*: Canada is often stereotyped as being cold and having very long winters]]. Zero is part dragon and lives in [[{{UsefulNotes/Florida}} Florida]] [[hottip:*: Florida, in contrast, is often referred to as being very hot]].
