Awesome / The 8-Bit Drummer

• During The Runaway Guys Colosseum Direct in 2020, Jerod played StepMania. And it. was. AMAZING. He played some of the hardest songs (most exceeding 200 beats per minute) like it was nothing (and the stream eventually turns into nothing but hard songs, due to the donation incentives), and could even play some segments without looking at the screen. The finger-cam needs to be seen to be believed. He got another moment when he admits that, although he's never been able to beat one particular song in the game, he can drum to it. The best part? He didn't practice at all. He only installed the game on that computer the day of the event, and hadn't played in 3 months.
• The chat's monetary support can be MASSIVE at times, especially during charity streams. There have been numerous Tier-1 100 gifted sub bombs (which each cost $500), sometimes multiple of them per stream, there has been a Tier-3 40 gifted sub bomb (which costs $1000 dollars), tips of over $500 dollars, and even charity goals of over $10,000 being met in half an hour. Some viewers describe being in Jerod's chat during a sub-bomb war as "witnessing King Kong and Godzilla fighting each other in Tokyo while decked out in expensive clothing".
• During Community Smash Days, where Jerod plays Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with his fans and viewers, we have moments where a viewer wins by a landslide after getting utterly destroyed in their last game, and vice versa.
• During a stream of his in 2017, he started getting raided by another streamer. This resulted in an influx of spam messages, such as "END STREAM!" and accusing him of "hacking". Instead of getting angry about it, he welcomed everyone that was coming as if nothing was happening, and started playing Popsicle Beach by Nanobii. After witnessing this, the raiders 'immediately' started to do a complete 180 and begged Jerod to never stop streaming. The event in question!
• Both variations of finding out your song suggestion is about to be played gives you a feeling that just can't be described, and it will make your day.
  • For starters, just hearing your song coming on without checking the bottom of the song list first is a very nice surprise.
  • And then there's moments where you request a meme song of some kind, hear Jerod say something that implies it's coming up next like "What the frick is this? Hold on...", so then you check the "Played Songs" category on the list to be greeted by your song at the bottom. It makes your mind rush with wonders of how he's going to react to the various nooks and crannies in it.
• Getting the opportunity to be officially featured in hololive's MiKorone January 4th collab and performing a drum cover of their previously unreleased collab song. All the hololive covers throughout his streams led up to this.
