* LargeHamAnnouncer: For Sips' ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' GrandFinale, Turps narrates over the loading screens quite loudly. The others also nominate him to introduce a new series of ''TTT'' on Sips' channel, since Trott and Lewis had rather... uninspired attempts, to put it politely.


Added DiffLines:

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Typically Turps has a fairly loud and slightly immature demeanour when playing games with the others. However, when filming "Dad Chat", an episode of ''Rambling with Sips'', both participants talked fairly seriously about sexism, with them both expressing admiration for their mothers having raised them in an era when it must have been even harder than it is now. Turps having a daughter, he was also quite concerned about what his daughter will have to cope with when she is older.

Smiffy and Ross both get murdered by Sips, but manage to shout out his in-game name, Papa Miko, and give him away before death. Turps therefore comes to the conclusion that it's Trott aka Lima Romeo, even though they don't have remotely similar names, and shoots Trott. This is after ''two people'' gave Sips away.
