* AntiClimax: In-universe. For years, the game has built up a mysterious masked BlackKnight with fans buzzing on his identity. Ian has hyped it up as "it'll blow you away" when fans find out his identity. The problem is, despite what Ian and C.W. tell everyone, they have ''never'' had any plan for who the Masked Man is and now realize if they don't come up with something big, the backlash will be huge -- so they try to defy the trope.

Pootie Shoe calls attention to the Masked Man, a mysterious NonPlayerCharacter whose identity Ian has been teasing for some time despite not having any idea. Brad suggests using the identity reveal to launch a new [[RevenueEnhancingDevices in-game casino]], which Poppy derides as artless. In return, Brad tasks Dana and Rachel with bug-testing the casino, turns off the game store, and sends the programmers home, causing Poppy and David no end of stress.
