** "[[ThatMitchellAndWebbLook Oh, and that's a bad miss]]."

Formerly available through ChannelAwesome affiliate Blistered Thumbs, videos are now archived on [[http://videogamesawesome.com their website]], and livestreamed on Website/{{Twitch}} [[http://www.twitch.tv/ffstv here.]]

* VocalDissonance: Turns up now and then in the Ace Attorney videos. Most prevalent are giving Pearl Fey, a tiny little girl, a baritone and giving Regina, an innocent circus girl, deep Russian voice.

** "Couple's Catherine Co-op!"

* DudeNotFunny: Fraser's [[{{in-universe}} reaction]] during {{Catherine}} to the chat trolling him on the time left in the game.

** While playing ''Catherine'', Fraser ignored the items tutorial, thought the chat room was lying when they said he could use items, despite an instruction to do so sitting in the bottom right corner of the screen, and then criticized the game for not explaining this feature to him.

** Fraser will often skip, ignore, or misinterpret the game's instructions, onscreen or otherwise - the official stance is that they don't want to bog the episode down with them going through tutorials or reading manuals, but more often than not this results in Fraser and company asking the chat to walk them through the game. For example, in ''Catherine'', he thought the chat room was lying when they said he could create a block, even though the command to do so was highly visible in the corner of the screen.

** "Did you hear the rumor?", a line from ''{{Catherine}}'''s highly repetitive dialogue.

** "[[VideoGame/{{Catherine}} I have...really bad diarrhea!]]"

* AsideGlance: During ''TheLastOfUs Left Behind'', Becky makes use of this trope when she and Fraser discuss a person they knew from their hometown.

* UnderwaterCity: The "[[SpongeBobSquarePants Beckyni Bottom]]" build in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', with a few {{Underwater Base}}s connected to it.

* LostInTranslation: During their play though of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney: Justice For All'', Fraser notes that how the adjective "uppity" is often used in reference for the ''very'' effeminate magician they're trying to defend, and how it was likely used in place of a term that would be considered rather offensive and homophobic in the west.

* NoSympathy: Fraser towards Acro in ''Phoenix Wright: Justice For All'', to the point where he calls out the chat for being more swayed by Acro's FreudianExcuse by angrily telling them that it doesn't matter because Acro still tried to kill a little girl.

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: "[name of game] is AWESOME!" Even that one time that the game turned out to be so ''un''-awesome that Fraser RageQuit.

** Very recently averted after Fraser found out that a certain game was more of an EnvironmentalNarrativeGame experience rather than the SurvivalHorror game it had branded itself as. What pushed it over the edge is that the developer charged 10-13$ for only about 90 minutes of game content. Fraser resolved to get a steam refund and called the episode ''The Park....AWESOME.''

** Fraser and the others are also guilty of this from time to time, from the [[RefugeInAudacity corpsefucker joke]] in HeavyRain to gangbanging an NPC in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaFourSwordsAdventures Four Swords Adventures]].

** Fraser was also a pretty crappy parent during the ''HeavyRain'' playthrough.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Their movie night screening of ATalkingCat features them providing one of these for every single character in the film. Susan is an unstable drunk; her entire family want to have sex with each other; Phil is senile; Chris pretends to be awkward at romance in order to get with everyone; and Duffy does everything purely because he likes watching young boys in swimming pools. Please note that A Talking Cat is supposed to be a kids film.

* CrossesTheLineTwice During their Heavy Rain Playthrough, Becky comments her dislike of the word Corpse Fucker, the boys respond thusly
--> Fraser: Remember Becky? If you bring that you don't like something, we'll beat it like a dead horse
--> Ben: And then we'll fuck it

-->'''Fraser''': Part two! Drill to the heart! [...] I guess ''you're'' the one who got screwed, or, look out for those heart-holes...I hear they're catching! Looks like [[Series/DiagnosisMurder the diagonosis is...murder]]! [...] [''reading Kshade's comment''] This is not a drill...and then make some reference to the painter who made ''This is not a pipe''. [...] C'est n'est pas drill [''sic'']. [...] I'm a regular Creatro/ReneMagritte!

* BlatantLies: ''BioShockInfinite'' featured a tit-for-tat after Fraser murdered a pair of friendly NPC's: Becky telling Fraser that the chat was lighting up with positive reinforcement, and Fraser telling her that he aims to please the people in chat.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: When Frasier sees the lighthouses that act as the doorways to the multiverse in Videogame/BioshockInfinite, he immediately demands to be taken to one with dinosaurs.

** The recent playthrough of VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight has exposed one for Fraser: not finishing a particularly hard segment of a game the best he possibly can, the first time. His Frage, usually playful and "Eh, no biggie" style, turned [[SeriousBusiness dark]] and [[AtomicFBomb loud]] when he failed several times at a particular AR Challenge.

* MegaCrossover: While a few pop cultural references appeared in prior ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' builds, the future-themed one has a continuing story arc of the Master from ''Series/DoctorWho'' (portrayed by Fraser) chasing the Doctor, and ending up in a soundstage filled with a multiple-franchise space battle centred on ''Franchise/StarTrek'''s Borg. Later, Fraser discovers [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Tomorrowland]], an unmanned Franchise/{{Gundam}}, InvaderZim's house, Cogswell Cogs from ''TheJetsons'', Film/TheMatrix, 2015 Hill Valley from ''Film/BackToTheFuture Part II'', Planet Zebes from ''{{Metroid}}'', New New York from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' and others.

* DescriptionCut: At the start of ''{{Uncharted}} 3'', Nathan's deal starts to go bad:

** He hates spoilers more than most. The mods will block you if you get anywhere near a spoiler and he complained about ''[[VideoGame/TheWalkingDead]]'''s next episode previews. Justified because his show is built around letting you see his and Becky's initial reactions to games.

In May 2012, the Adsense on their [=YouTube=] account was disabled, cutting off the VGA's income. As a result, they have since started uploading their videos to Blip again and primarily hosted on the still-under-construction [[http://videogamesawesome.com Video Games Awesome! website]]. The [=YouTube=] revenue returned in June, but Fraser decided to put videos on both Blip and [=YouTube=] in case a situation like this occurs again.
