  • Broken Base: There was a noticeably split reaction to the choices for Top Fifteen Horror Games. On the one hand, many fans appreciated how diverse the game selections were and believed the list to be incredibly thorough. On the other hand, many fans also believed choices like Presentable Liberty to be overly niche at best and questionable at worst, along with thinking that Sheikah seemed to act overly elitist to the likes of Five Nights At Freddys and Doki Doki Literature Club!. (Though, in fairness, the script itself was written by Oscar)
    Oscar: "What is genre"?! We didn't include Metroid Fusion or Dead Space because it only "incorporated" horror elements! And now you're trying to sneak in this Minecraft mod?!
  • Harsher in Hindsight:
    • His worst Fire Emblem characters video placed Corrin only at Dishonorable Mentions because he hasn't immersed himself with the game. Had the countdown being made latter, Corrin would've dethroned Gangrel from the top spot and Oscar wouldn't even bother with Tsundere feelings like he did with Gangrel and his confession.
    • The moment in his and Josh Scorcher’s Top 12 Siblings in Video Games crossover, where he goes into full Big Brother Instinct mode at the thought of his younger sister being in danger, becomes this after her death in June 2020.
    • In Top 10 Video Game Voice Actors, he solemnly mulls about how Charles Martinet would eventually retire as the voice of Mario. Sure enough, six years later, it was announced that Martinet would be stepping down as the voice of Mario and Luigi, with the roles being taken over by Kevin Afghani starting with Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • While covering Kratos' entry in his Top Ten Video Game Berserkers countdown, Oscar remembers that the then-upcoming God of War (2018) would take place in a Nordic setting and theorizes that the now-calmer Kratos would end up clashing with gods from Norse Mythology like Thor, Odin, or Baldur. Surely enough, Baldur does, indeed, turn out to be the game's Big Bad.
    • During Spyro's entry in Top Ten Dragons, Oscar mentions that Activision should make another Spyro game so that Skylanders fans could gave them a try. Cue the Spyro Reignited Trilogy being announced, which, while not a new game, still brought in a Newbie Boom.
  • Tear Jerker: The untimely and heartbreaking loss of his younger sister in June 2020
