  • Complete Monster: PurifyingSelector88, episode 3's Big Bad, is a former Geronimo employee who desires to kill anyone who he considers "undesirable" in order to "purify humanity". He first makes himself known by trying to kill the protagonists and his allies with a sound file containing a literal Brown Note, and it is subsequently revealed that he has done this with others. During the investigation, a tech support worker is killed by the file as a warning to back off. PS88 then tricks the player into pwning the DinkDonkDoink board and deletes the files tracing back to him. He reveals that he has upgraded the brown note to a "Death Note" that makes the sound come from the computer itself, thus not being able to be shut off, and has many test subjects get that far. After testing it on Doctor O, he plans to upload it to an Allen Thicke webcast that would be watched by hundreds of millions. Despite Forumwarz being generally comedic, PS88 manages to be a shockingly dark villain.
  • Fridge Logic: Power Spikes destroy consumable items...but a lot of your consumables are physical in the game world. So how does that happen?
  • Funny Moments: Don't click on the searchbox immediately, and it gets started. Then it goes up from there!
    • Great Aunt Geraldine.
  • Heartwarming Moments: If you choose to give RWOX's modem to Nordstrom after your battle.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: One of the community-created forums centers around a parody of Minecraft that was developed by Neo-Nazis. It's played for Those Wacky Nazis style humor, a bit like the dev-made Konservative Kristian Koalition forum, but it's a little less funny given Notch's own forays into the alt-right and other Nazi-adjacent ideologies.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Your conversations with RWOX CVDK OAAX/Alfred Buckston. And then you receive his Tubmails...
  • That One Attack: Line Noise adds a turn to the Refresh of your attacks. This includes attacks you haven't used. Many forums like to spam this over and over, making it hard even to hit them. And the only way to stop it is an item sold in a store that, by the time you reach enemies who use this attack, you have no reason to shop at.
  • That One Boss: Hear 'em Roar is extremely hard to damage unless your class has a lot of Incompetence-based attacks and loves to spam the DVORAK status, which randomizes what you attack with. Without large amounts of Restore Default Script, you'll get nowhere fast.
