Trivia / SsethTzeentach

• Approval of God:
  • Sseth's coverage of Bastard Bonds was lauded by the game's developer despite, or perhaps because, of its outlandish nature.
  • Likewise, his Deep Rock Galactic review was also taken in stride by Ghost Ship Games, if the comment left by Robert Friis, the studio's art director and voice actor of Mission Control, was any indication.
• Colbert Bump:
  • It seems that with each video he does on a relatively obscure game, it rapidly receives a large amount of attention and purchases from his viewers. Not just one, but two of the highest rated reviews for Kenshi on Steam have references to Sseth; his review of Space Station 13 flooded the servers with new players (referred to by long-time players as the "Ssethtide") despite him advising that they shouldn't do that (presumably because he then followed up that advice with several hilarious anecdotes of what the game is like); his review of Starsector got so much attention that the developers' website was having issues keeping up and Alex (one of the developers) actually tweeted about this event in positive detail; and his review of SYNTHETIK, despite coinciding with the very last day of a sale on the game, still managed to cause enough people to buy it that it broke into the top sellers for that month on Steam. He's acutely aware of it too, to the point where he collaborated with the developer of Underrail to have the game go on sale on Steam and Good Old Games when his review went live.
  • Sseth himself invoked this specifically for Rule 34 artwork of Olivia from God Hand, to the point that he spent several hundreds of dollars commissioning several artists to create some. On that note, his God Hand video got so popular that two days after the video was posted, IGN posted a video titled "In Defense of God Hand" as a disclaimer for their negative review of the game from 2006.
  • The re-review of Might and Magic VI led to a variant — the game itself didn't receive much of a bump (after all, he'd already reviewed it once, and while that had been taken down the reviews of the sequels were still up), but the mod that he was playing the game through, Might and Magic Merge^note technically, Sseth was playing Might and Magic VIII, as the mod combines VI, VII and VIII in VIII's iteration of the engine, did, to the point of new mirrors having to be set up as Sseth's fans had overwhelmed the existing ones.
• Corpsing:
  • At the end of his origin story, Sseth tried really hard to not laugh at his own wacky send off.
    "Remember to like and subscr - *chuckles* - remember to like and subscribe - *struggles not to laugh* - and God bless Mugabe".
  • During his streams, he regularly lapses into giggling while telling stories and manufacturing his slapdash image edits.
  • His entire Bastard Bonds review is a compilation of corpsing moments, the most prominent of which is the 4:50 mark, which has Sseth bursting into an uncontrollable laughing fit that he had to break out of by segueing into a sponsorship plug ...Which caused him to immediately start corpsing again.
  • His World of Tanks video has a line that states how man can lactate. His composure quickly breaks upon saying it out loud.
• Fan Community Nicknames: His Patreon supporters are thanked in every video as "the Merchants' Guild".
• In Memoriam: The thumbnail and description for his Gachimuchi-themed Tryndamere champion spotlight were changed following Billy Herrington's death in 2018.
  "Heaven just got stronger.
  Rest in peace, Aniki."
• Missing Episode: His first review of Might and Magic VI was removed, both because he didn't like it and because it "featured hardcore pornography in the first few milliseconds".
• Recycled Script: Played for Laughs in his review of Paladins, which reuses most of his review of Overwatch but with any differing details very lazily dubbed over.
• Screwed by the Lawyers:
  • His original review of Heroes of Might and Magic V was demonetized and blocked in 221 countries by 4K Media for using a version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! dub intro, edited only to paste HOMM4 and gachimuchi characters over the YGO ones. Sseth was more confused than mad as to why they would claim it to take all the money the video makes, then also block it in all but a small handful of countries so they wouldn't make any money.
  • His Bloons 6 review was briefly taken down due the video showing how to use a cheat engine to get infinite Monkey Money (the game's premium currency). It was later restored the same day, but with the cheat engine portion of the video blurred out.
