* PlatonicLifePartners: He's good friends with female LetsPlayer {{Lucahjin}}, and they've co-commentated on each other's videos multiple times. One question in her FAQ is if she's dating him (or [[ReallyGetsAround any of the other popular YouTube Let's Players]]), and the answer is a simple one-word "No." (However, in one interview, NCS admitted his feelings for her [[AllLoveIsUnrequited weren't entirely platonic]], but due to a number of factors, they both knew it wouldn't happen.)

* CrowningMomentofAwesome: In his LMAO of Mario Party 2, he ends up dominating Mystery Land with a whopping 8 Stars, 4 times the amount of all the other players combined (Wario and Luigi had ONE Star each, while Donkey Kong got none). Plus, sweeping all the bonus Stars on that board.



** He played Space Land in his Mario Party 2 solo run, earned ''six'' stars and... forgot to check to make sure he was recording his commentary so that video got scrapped.

** In general, forgetting the obvious is quite common in his Let's Plays. His ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'' LP features him buying a fire-resistant shield before entering the [[LethalLavaLand Goron Mines]] and then forgetting to equip it for the entirety of that dungeon. Amazingly, he manages not to lose his wooden shield despite nearly every room of that place containing fire and/or lava in abundance.

** [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]

!!His Let's Plays provide examples of:
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Describes himself in one of his ''{{Metroid}}'' videos as once having been able to do "it" with his thighs and not his hands, going to great lengths to avoid saying exactly what "it" is.
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: At the end of the final boss rematch in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'':
-->'''NCS:''' Right in your face, man, [[ItMakesSenseInContext right in your armpit]]! How many different places on Bowser's beaten, battered, bruised, beleaguered, bludgeoned body can we hit next? (''{{Beat}}'') Those are all actually words, too.
* {{Adorkable}}: Somewhat. He ''is'' a man in his 30's who enjoys video games and is generally a nice guy. The videos where he shows his face demonstrate how awkward he can be as well.
* BerserkButton: Green rupees.
** Getting [[MoneyForNothing Rupees as rewards]] for [[ThatOneSidequest long sidequests]] sometimes angers him, too. [[TwilightPrincess Jovanni]] and [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime the Skulltula Family]] are good examples.
* {{Big What}}: He gets a really good one in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4nKzlYUpT4 this]] episode of his Twilight Princess playthrough. (At 7:28)
* BigYes : He's done this in the past, but when he discovers the [[VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay Great Mighty Poo]]...
* CallBack: After he fails to grab the last Green Star and falls into a pit in [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2 Clockwork Ruins Galaxy]]:
-->'''NCS:''' [[BigNo Dude, nooo! NOOO!]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Good-bye, my horsey! Good-bye!]]
* {{Catchphrase}}: Not particularly defining ones, but he has several recurring phrases, such as "Get some more toilet paper!" and "So happy." Hell, he even included most of his catchphrases in one of the previous backgrounds of his channel.
** "You bite, you die!" (originally about the Piranha Plants from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'')
** You know, [[WeirdAlYankovic IN THE BATHROOM!]] [[hottip:* :This popular line comes from Weird Al Yankovic's "A Complicated Song."]]
** And more recently, due to [[{{Chuggaaconroy}} Chuggaa's]] attempts to popularize the "D'OH I MISSED!" phrase in TheRunawayGuys videos, he's started using that one as well.
** "A secret <X>!" [[ShoutOut in the same fluctuation]] LetsPlay/HCBailly [[ShoutOut does it]]. Also, "STAY AWAY FROM THE SUMMONER!"
** "You tell that asshole!"
** "<X> ''THOOOOOUUUUUSAND'' <X>!" Another ShoutOut to LetsPlay/HCBailly.
** [[ShoutOut "Name that movie."]]
** "Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo[[OverlyLongGag oooooooooooooooooooo]]kay everyone I'm back."
** In some of his ''Legend of Zelda'' [=LPs=] (such as ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Wind Waker]]'' and ''TwilightPrincess'' for two), he has "Oh my God! Can't wait to see!" when opening a chest.
** He's prone to singing the lyric "I keep forgetting we're not in love any more".
** "The fur-hur-hur-hur-nace!"
* {{Cliffhanger}}: In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ-GhLS3p9o#t=10m25s this video,]] he takes on a timed mission in BanjoKazooie, and he comes within one second of failing and the video cuts off.
** He also has done several in ''FinalFantasyIV'', exactly where one would expect them. Cutting off before [[spoiler: Rydia re-joins the party]] is one he claims he's wanted to do his whole life.
* CreatorInJoke: "A BEEEEE!" It apparently came from an old home movie of his family's where he was freaking out over a bee.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: With all of the ''Zelda'' videos he's made introductions to, it's no surprise that he sometimes introduces a different game entirely as "The Legend of Zelda: [Game Title]" by accident.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: During one boss fight in ''Donkey Kong Country 3,'' he admits that knowing a certain song makes him feel "kind of gay." He immediately backs up, saying "NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat," then goes on to try and explain himself, then gives up because he's just making it worse.
* EpilepticTrees: Invoked in his SuperMario64 LP, where he indulges in this, theorizing that Princess Peach has an EvilTwin who is Bowser Jr.'s mother.
* EvilLaugh: He's not particularly ''evil'', per se, but he does have a very distinctive laugh with which you'll become familiar after watching a few videos.
* FailedASpotCheck: Multiple times in ''YoshisStory.'' Melons tend to get "camoflaged" in his fruit border, but one time he missed a melon ''right in the middle of the screen'' (and added an anotation pointing out his flagrant missage). In another episode, he spends several minutes in a panicked state, looking for eggs, without realizing that he has a full egg train following behind him.
** Also happens quite often in his blind run of ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay''. He got a lot of flak one time for not immediately realizing he had to take ''cheese'' to a ''mouse''.
** In general, forgetting the obvious is quite common in his Let's Plays. His ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'' LP features him buying a fire-resistant shield before entering the [[LethalLavaLand Goron Mines]] and then forgetting to equip it for the entirety of that dungeon. Amazingly, he manages not to lose his wooden shield despite nearly every room of that place containing fire and/or lava in abundance.
** In the Starfruit minigame in ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies,'' he continually fails to realize he has enough Sun to start planing them. He adds in annotations from the Starfruit, getting increasingly annoyed as NCS fails to plant him.
** During his mostly-blind run of the final stage of the Lost World of ''Donkey Kong Country 2,'' after getting through a chunk of the stage, he wonders if there's a checkpoint. While it's right in the middle of the screen. ''Again.'' Cue more annotations. Another life later, he drops into the checkpoint STILL without noticing it, leaving him surprised to spawn there after he died once more.
** In his blind run of DKC 3, during the run of the last world, he failed to note in ''Lightning Look-Out'' that the little lightning was the warning for the big lightning. He only noted this during a bonus game, 11 minutes into the video. During the same chapter, in ''Koindozer Klamber'', he was desperately looking for a Bonus Barrel in the 2nd half of the level, and when he arrived to the screen of the Bonus Barrel, he kept throwing himself into the holes without noting the Bonus Barrel being just there. He just noted that like one minute later.
* FridgeLogic: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] when he named the Aeon Cindy after Dario in his FinalFantasyX LP.
* {{Gasshole}}: He has active bodily functions, and [[TooMuchInformation he'll mention when they act up]].
* GentleGiant: He's about 6 feet tall and 250 pounds, but is probably one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Twice during Chapter 6 of Mother 3. [[TearJerker With very good reason]].
** Played with in the VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay finale. Comments were saying [[spoiler:it was okay to cry in the ending cutscene where Conker states he'd give up everything to have Berri back. He never did (if he did, he held it in), but did finish it off with a "You can't end the game like that!!"]]
* GoshDangItToHeck: His signature UnusualEuphemism, "Frick-frack."
* GotMeDoingIt: {{Lucahjin}}'s CatchPhrase[=/=]VerbalTic "Sir?! Sir?!" rubbed off on him, and he admitted that she'd got him started on saying it.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Appears to be building this kind of friendship with Empolo18, to the point where he trusts him enough to give him his Youtube password to update NCS's LP's while he's away.
* HilariousInHindSight: NCS made a Conker episode called "Dick for Progress" where he made [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin no progress...]] except for telling us the next Runawayguys LP is SuperSmashBrosBrawl.
* IncrediblyLongNote: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apJYWg36LIo In this video,]] NCS sings Happy Birthday to Lucahijn and on the final line, proceeds to ''hold the "to" note for over 28 seconds.''
** Let's just say that Mr. Bishop has a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkWXpHeCG0c special talent]] for this trope.
* InTheStyleOf: Much of his ''FinalFantasyIV'' LP has HCBailly-style cliffhangers.
* LargeHam:
--> "CURSE YOU, CAPRISUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNN!!!!
* LateToThePunchline: In episode 30 of ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'', He got caught up on the name of the [[{{PunnyName}} Plantern]] that he had gotten some twenty episodes earlier, and had a small laughing fit.
* LetsPlay: Obviously.
* LineOfSightName: This is where his username came from.
* MadnessMantra: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp0Ig_Qm38g&feature=player_detailpage#t=282s You didn't just knock me into the pit.]]
* MindScrew: From his VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2 Let's Play ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRnsav6wHzk Episode 4]]):
--->'''NintendoCapriSun''': "It's like I got squashed against the ground by a Thwomp, but both me and him were upside down when it happened. I just can't explain that, the absurdity of it all."
* MotorMouth: Not usually, but in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay9OnLBCrWM one episode]] of his Mega Man 3 [=LP=] he decides to give it a try.
* MusicalEpisode: Sort of, with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KPvl9jFTJk Part 9]] of his ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'' playthrough, where he "sings" most of his commentary to the game's music.
** A mild example, but he also has a tendency to randomly sing a few lines of a song in some episodes of his [[LetsPlay LPs]].
* MyGreatestFailure: A relatively lighthearted example, but he'll never forget the [[PunchOut "I'll take Tyson"]] incident from his childhood. He's even mentioned that he cringes whenever his sister brings the sentence up.
* NiceGuy: Multiple people who know NCS in real life describe him as the single nicest guy they've ever met.
* NiceHat: He made one for his Flag Zombie in ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies''
* NostalgiaLevel: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] during Throwback Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2, which is almost a carbon copy of the second world in Super Mario 64.
** Then, when he got to Whomp's Fortress in Super Mario 64, he talked about Throwback Galaxy some.
* OhCrap: His reaction to [[spoiler:[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWqB37dXSnk#t=10m8s Lucas being cornered by the Ultimate Chimera]]]] in ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'': [[spoiler:[[TitleDrop "HOOOOOOOLLLLYYYYY SHITI'MGONNADIE!!"]]]]
** A much smaller example was when he realized he slipped off the bridge in Gerudo Valley and left Epona up there.
-->'''"Goodbye, my horsey. Goodbye!"'''
** In one of his ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'' videos, he was feeling very happy because the game's composer (the one responsible for the "There's A Zombie On Your Lawn" song) found one of his videos and liked it. He was happy for a few minutes before he realized she'd heard him singing his [[ToiletHumor gross toilet-based lyrics]] over her awesome music. His mood flipped around rather quickly.
* OldShame: His FinalFantasyVI let's play, which was done via camcorder. He's expressed dislike at how bad he was at [=LPs=] back then and has expressed the desire to re-do it at some point.
* PlatonicLifePartners: He's good friends with female LetsPlayer {{Lucahjin}}, and they've co-commentated on each other's videos multiple times. One question in her FAQ is if she's dating him (or [[ReallyGetsAround any of the other popular YouTube Let's Players]]), and the answer is a simple one-word "No." (However, in one interview, NCS admitted his feelings for her [[AllLoveIsUnrequited weren't entirely platonic]], but due to a number of factors, they both knew it wouldn't happen.)
* PrecisionFStrike: And when he ''does'' use it, he usually apologizes for it.
* PowerCreepPowerSeep: [[SelfImposedChallenge Amazing at]] NintendoHard older platforms, [[TheRunawayGuys utterly terrible when he has to play with a control stick]].
* RunningGag: He has a few.
** Calling Bowser a float in VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2. [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] the second time he does so, asking "Will this be the running gag for this LP?" [[spoiler: No, it wasn't. In the final battle, there was no mention of floats.]]
** [[ToiletHumor IN THE BATHROOM!]]
** "Yoshi! So happy!"
** "You tell that asshole!", when he agrees with a character's dialogue.
** Whenever he works his ass off and finally finishes a NintendoHard Segment or [[ThatOneSidequest Sidequest]], and the reward he gets is incredibly miniscule or undeserving, he has an understandably peeved [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rDgfXEmnBg reaction.]] ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-60cYGTWS0w&feature=player_detailpage#t=613s here's another for good measure]])
** [[ToiletHumor "Better get some more toilet paper."]] and the like when tackling a tough challenge.
** Has a habit of titling a video "Super <X> Massacre" when it involves lots of death, either [[MultiMookMelee the mooks]] [[ThatOneLevel or himself]].
** "Is this okay, Mommy" became one during the Majora's Mask LP when he noted that if you caught something in a bottle, you held it up to the screen as if to say the phrase.
** Sometimes, when a game gets HijackedByGanon (or [[VideoGame/MegaMan Dr. Wily]]), he'll edit in [[{{Disney/Aladdin}} Iago]] saying "[[SarcasmMode Oh, there's a big surprise! I think I'm going to have a heart attack and die from that surprise!]]".
* TheScream: He's got a very distinctive one.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the end of ''FinalFantasyIV'', Palom mentions showing a girl his "fire rod" and leaves the game, no longer able to play. He comes back though.
* SelfDeprecation: He's gotten into the habit of bashing himself for his poor performance in TheRunawayGuys [=LPs=] and will usually chide himself for stupid mistakes quite harshly. [[TheWoobie This makes his fans very happy when he succeeds at something]].
* SelfImposedChallenge: He's done quite a few already. He beat {{Contra}} on the [[HarderThanHard hardest difficulty]] [[NoDamageRun without losing a life]], played {{VideoGame/The Legend Of Zelda}}'s [[NewGamePlus Second Quest]] [[MinimalistRun without the sword]], ''[[BeyondTheImpossible and]]'' played the same game on a 3-Heart Run. ''Damn''.
** And yet he still cannot [[PressXToNotDie Press A]] [[TheRunawayGuys To Not]] [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii Die]]
* ShoutOut: Starts [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaJpSmkvjkI one video]] in his Banjo-Tooie LP with the same intro {{Chuggaaconroy}} uses.
** His Twilight Princess LP starts by making an IncrediblyLamePun about "living on the edge", and saying it's "better than [[WeirdAl living in the fridge]]".
** He occasionally uses some of LetsPlay/HCBailly's {{Catch Phrase}}s.
** In general, he seems to spout off random lines from shows, movies and games whenever he thinks about them. Trying to name them all would take quite a while.
*** Though ''StarFox64'' is a popular choice.
** In his LetsPlay of ''Super Mario 64'', he references ElectricalBeast's own LetsPlay ("TELEPOR'!")
** His status on his channel is one to the song 'Afterimage', by Rush.
* SmokingIsCool: Subverted, he spent a long while trying to quit his habit, even continuing it after posting the first video where he declared he would break it. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Fans congratulated him on his eventual success.]]
* TemptingFate: In the 4-way Battletoads race. He dies before he can even finish his sentence. ProtonJon even gives him an achievement for it.
* ThingOMeter: When he feels one of his {{Catchphrase}}s will get excessive use in a particular LP, he will create a counter for every time he says it.
** ''Conker'' got an "IN THE BATHROOM" meter, which ended at 134.
** ''Skyward Sword'' got a "SO HAPPY" meter, after its absence in ''Yoshi's Story''.
* ToiletHumor: Many, many examples of this throughout his Let's Plays. He's gotten better over time, however.
** A lot of fans expect him to go right back to stage one with his VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay LP, he even has a meter for how many times he says "In the bathroom".
** Later on, he forgot what number his meter was up to and started it at 9001 because it was [[DragonBallZ OVER]] [[MemeticMutation 9000]]!! [[spoiler:The actual final "In The Bathroom" count is 134.]]
*** And when he meets [[spoiler: The Great Mighty Poo,]] his life was fufilled.
** Not to mention all the rest of his songs about taking dumps.
*** Like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzFhS8J7NnA THIS ONE!!]]
** His GagDub of the infamous laughing scene from ''FinalFantasyX'' replaced the laughs with belches.
* TheUnintelligible: His take on Professor Owlan in ''Skyward Sword'' has him speak in very fast gibberish.
* UnusualEuphemism: "Frick-frack," which he usually drops in place of the typical F-Bomb. [[PrecisionFStrike Unless the situation is really dire.]]
* TheWikiRule: [[http://nintendocaprisun.wikia.com/wiki/NintendoCapriSun_Wiki Now he has one.]]
* WithLyrics: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4GA9Fwc_2A Takeadumponthetoilet]] from Mega man 2 and the other [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTJmnR1NMV0 take a dump on the toilet]] from Majoras mask are fan favorites
** Don't forget in Secret of Mana, the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLsZkgJPwnw Ice Palace Rap!]]
** He has also made his own lyrics to the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlRq1Va0-q0 Forest Maze]] song.
** Tim made up lyrics as a preview for his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8zhu_02ZK8 Castlevania]] LP.
*** And again for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnJZAqQz5zA Skyward Sword]].
* AWorldwidePunomenon: He doesn't partake in this often himself, but the titles of his videos are usually good for a few chuckles, such as [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker "Dude, Where's Makar?"]][[hottip:*:Dude, where's my car?]] and [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2 "Take A Drill Pill"]][[hottip:*:Take a chill pill]].
