** One joke has them delivering a TakeThat against the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS (which literally gets tossed in the trash) while being unable to find anything to criticize about the UsefulNotes/PlaystationPortable. It comes across as them jumping the gun in criticizing the Nintendo DS considering it would gradually build up a big catalog of well-received games and become both the best-selling Creator/{{Nintendo}} console and the second best-selling console period after the UsefulNotes/{{Playstation 2}}.

* RetroactiveRecognition: The voice cast includes other flash animators including [[{{Creator/Egoraptor}} Arin "Egoraptor" Hanson]] and Ross "Rubberninja" O'Donovan. Years later, both of them would become much more well known for their shows ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' and ''WebVideo/SteamTrain''.
** Egoraptor's roles in this series actually predate [[WebAnimation/AwesomeSeries Metal Gear Awesome]] by a year or two. He was already well known on Newgrounds at the time.
** Rubberninja does the voice of the PC World announcer in the ChristmasSpecial. His ninja persona can be seen in the outtakes for that animation. He also appears in Decline 2, right after the cast walks into E3, where he can be seen [[TheCameo in the background]] trying to pick up a woman. [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom It doesn't go well for him]].

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:
** Their dig at the Devil May Cry series, "Devil May Cry 4: Who Wrote This Crap?", falls a bit flat when one considers that both 3 and 4 were rather highly acclaimed, while the 2nd (which they were referencing) fell into FanonDiscontinuity, and has been edging closer to CanonDiscontinuity.
** The joke of Hideo Kojima being imprisoned because of the negative reception of ''Metal Gear Solid 2'' isn't as funny now when you consider his ultimate treatment by Konami.

Considering how opinions have shifted, removing this.


** In the first installment, there is a line about how one "can't go wrong" with a Franchise/FinalFantasy game. Considering how ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' have come under heavy criticism, the line becomes less funny.
