History LetsPlay / OverTheGun

* ''Film/Alien3TheGun'' (HTSFL)

* ''Alien3TheGun'' (HTSFL)

** to {{quake}} - to bunnyhop; to strafejump
** to {{mario}} - to jump on someone's head; to run over gaps without falling through

--> '''Overthegun''': "When you are so focused on playing {{quake}} that you don't realise you are actually sweating and then the drop of sweat [that rolls down your back] makes you jump."

* XMeetsY: He first thinks ''VideoGame/{{Braid}}'' is ''Mario'' meets ''Franchise/PrinceOfPersia''. He realises that he's quite off the mark by the end of the first set.

* VivaLasVegas: Actually had one hell of a 21st almost-birthday experience here, during a tournament trip. The whole story can be heard at the end of hid Dota2 Twitch.tv stream.

* ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' (Borrowed Xbox360) (HTSFL)

* ''VideoGame/HaloReach'' (Xbox360)

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: He doesn't only do let's plays. He has also done some StarCraft 2 replay commentaries, reviews, Podcasts, and the occasional StupidStatementDanceMix.

* EscortMission: A good example of why they're hated can be seen in his [=HTSFs=] of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' and ''SilentHill4'', where it's very obvious you do not want him as your guard.

* HalloweenEpisode: His ''SilentHill'' playthroughs are saved for the Halloween season, [[SilentHill2 2]] for 2008 and [[SilentHill4 4]] for 2009. Popular demand gave way to ''VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent'' in 2010.

* [[spoiler: [[DoomedHometown Doomed Homemountain]]:]] He builds a small little base called "Crafting Mountain" at the beginning of his ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' HTSF. [[spoiler: At the end of the set, when returning after discovering a geyser of some sort, Creepers completely wreck the place and kill him, forcing him to huddle into his mini mine after respawning.]]
* DoubleEntendre: He's British.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in one of his VideoGame/{{Half-Life 2}} episodes.
--> '''Overthegun''': Let's see you follow me through ''that''.
--> ''The enemy breaks through the barrier.''
--> '''Overthegun''': Fucking ''Valve'', man!

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: At the end of his ''{{Painkiller}}'' set, his usual game overview is constantly interrupted by him shooing his cat away from his Jaffa cakes, which slowly but steadily takes over the commentary of the game.

* HeliumSpeech: There was a problem uploading [S5][P8] of ''{{Painkiller}}'', which ended up speeding up the volume in comparison to the video, resulting in a higher pitch for everything, including OverTheGun's commentary: leading to this trope.

* ScareChord: During the 10th part of set 3 of ''{{Painkiller}}'', one of his comments was at just the right time with the music:

* ''{{Heretic}}'' (incomplete)

* ''MetroidFusion''
* ''{{MUGEN}}''
* ''[[PacMan Pacland]]''
* ''{{Painkiller}}''
* ''[[PennyArcadeAdventures Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness]]'' (incomplete)

* BritishAccents: If his current location is anything to go from, it's from Yorkshire.
** [[OopNorth Leeds]], to be precise.

* ''SuperMarioBros'' (Mario All-Stars)

* ''{{Toki}}'' (incomplete)

* ''TheWhiteChamber''

* ''BandHero''

--> '''Alyx''': Sorry I took so long Gordon. [[StopHelpingMe You look like you could have used some help.]] I won't leave you again, though.

* PerfectlyCromulentWord

** to get {{terminator}}twoed/teetwoed - to burn oneself to death by falling into lava (or molten steel)

* ShoutOut: Makes quite a few. Getting "{{Terminator}} 2'd" in VideoGame/MetalGearSolid, "[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Roy Mustanging]]" in VideoGame/{{BioShock|1}}...

* ViewersLikeYou: Mostly on his streams. For a specific example, the viewers actually pitched in to purchase a graphics card when it died during his ''VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent'' run. He is using it to this day and is not hesitant of thanking the viewers at the time of this edit.

[[http://www.youtube.com/user/overthegun OverTheGun]] is a [[LetsPlay Let's Player]] specializing in Blind Runs. His playthroughs are called "HTSF" or "How to Successfully Fail" which pretty much describes what you'll find: going through the game while making some very hilarious mistakes. The HTSF is typically organised of sets (which separate playing sittings) and parts (due to Youtube's time limit). Has a strong British accent and a fairly [[ClusterFBomb foul mouth.]]

A "new season" of [=HTSF=] has started since his move to Bliptv, where the playthrough is now separated into one hour episodes, split into parts.

* ''{{Splatterhouse}}'' (HTSFL)
* ''{{Splatterhouse}} 2''

* ''LeagueOfLegends'' (HTSF)

** In ''SeriousSam'', the part 3 of set 2, he spends over ten minutes on a single difficult mob fight. When he finally gets through to beating the mob, he clicks on his second monitor, tries to save his game and realizes that he just saved his game paused with no idea how to unpause it. Cue redoing the mob fight again.

* ''SeriousSam''
* ''SeriousSam 2'' (with Claire) (incomplete)
* ''SilentHill2'' (Buggy PC port)
* ''SilentHill4''

* ''VideoGame/{{R-Type}} III''

* ''{{Minecraft}}'' (HTSF)

* [[spoiler: [[DoomedHometown Doomed Homemountain]]:]] He builds a small little base called "Crafting Mountain" at the beginning of his ''{{Minecraft}}'' HTSF. [[spoiler: At the end of the set, when returning after discovering a geyser of some sort, Creepers completely wreck the place and kill him, forcing him to huddle into his mini mine after respawning.]]

* KickTheDog: In the ''MineCraft'' HTSF, as he is exploring a nearby cave, a stray wolf climbs down to his mine and he greets it. After finally learning how to tame the wolf, the wolf then preforms serious ''Quake'' style bunny-hops and strafe jumps. Upon leaving the mine with the wolf, he names it Strafe for it's amazing jumping ability. [[spoiler:Unfortunately a few minutes later back to his house, a Creeper happens to sneak up on them and after a brief chase, catches up to them and unfortunately [[HeroicSacrifice kills off the wolf which took the brunt of the Creeper explosion.]] Although OTG has the generosity to [[DueToTheDead leave the wolf a grave. "Here lies Strafe. Wonderful Jumper Dog".]] Oh yeah, and he's also developed [[ItsPersonal an insane grudge to Creepers]] and even [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge killed one or two out of rage shortly after the wolf's demise.]] ]]
