"I'm sorry everyone"
Verbatim
| Date | Game | Reason | Forgiven? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2014-10-12 | Revenant Part 2 | Lame ending | ✓ Will try better next time |
| 2015-10-17 | Construction Bob | Lame ending | ✓ Bought the game as a service to all of us who want to see what's behind the curtain of hell |
| 2017-09-14 | Hinterland | Lame pumpkin bombs | ✓ Offending pumpkin farmer promptly evicted |
| 2018-07-07 | The Crew | Cardboard story | ✓ You can drive all across the United States |
| 2018-12-24 | Apocalyptica / Deer Napped | Couldn't find the magic | ✓ Later trapped Satan in an asteroid and shot him off into space |
| 2019-11-28 | Harry Buster / again | Getting songs stuck in our heads | tbh I'm not sure if this one was forgivable |
| 2020-12-29 | SiN | Did not try so hard to get the soundtrack from Zak Belica as to receive a restraining order | ✓ It would have set a bad precedent and closed off the possibility of working with Zak to get other music in the future |
| 2021-08-24 | The Journeyman Project | Did not read a biography on Mohandas Gandhi in preparation for the episode | ✓ It probably wouldn't have helped anyway given the ambiguity of ethics towards outsourced mechacolonialism |
| 2021-10-28 | Gothos | Super lame ending twice in a row | Debatable |
| 2023-06-19 | The Legend of Kyrandia 2 | Petrified forest | ✓ Puns for the pun god |

| 2016-07-08 | The Chosen - Well of Souls | Didn't mean for the episode to turn into a play-by-play of everything that's horrible about level 3 | ✓ You have to go with the stuff you remember and by god you remember level 3 |
| 2017-03-31 | Maabus | Lame ending | ✓ At least we can share it with you |
| 2019-08-31 | TrackMania² Canyon | Update makes game worse | ✓ Had no idea they were doing it and video was almost over anyway |

"I'm not sure I've seen something like this before"
| Date | Game | What did he see |

| 2014-10-12 | Revenant part 2 | Excessive miniboss tease |
| 2015-12-22 | Still Life part 2 | Ending doesn't reveal the killer |
| 2016-02-19 | Darkspore | No backwards progression |
| 2016-07-08 | The Chosen - Well of Souls, again, almost | Extreme gameplay difficulty curve; poor game design |
| 2016-08-18 | Deus Ex | Real life politics and economics in a mainstream game |

| 2017-07-14 | Armed & Delirious part 2 | Randomized 512-option no-hints puzzle |
| 2018-08-16 | Requital, again, again | Healing potions that don't heal you; starting the game on Easy gives you free levels; other game design problems |
| 2018-12-24 | Apocalyptica / Deer Napped, again | Menu screen with blurred navigation items; snowmen shooting invisible projectiles with no accompanying animation |
| 2019-08-31 | TrackMania² Canyon | Irreversible update makes game objectively worse |
| 2019-11-28 | Harry Buster | Main menu singalong |
| 2020-04-06 | Black Future '88 | Soul of the Commodore |
| 2020-10-27 | Clans, almost, but it's rare | Big furry eye things with pincers that explode when you hit them; clicking too rapidly on the boss skips the game ending |
| 2020-10-30 | Hellgate London (almost, but it's rare) | Storyline with intended gameplay order, but not telling the player which path to take first |
| 2020-12-23 | Aida's Strange Christmas (almost, but it's deep in the subconscious) | Unmasked warlocks are weird spindly elephant people |
| 2021-10-31 | Martian Gothic | Skipping the dialogue gives you a gameplay advantage |
| 2021-12-24 | The Division | "Dual-monitor" graphical setting that slightly offsets the game UI for a central screen bezel, yet no ordinary FOV slider |
| 2022-06-17 | Mage Night Apocalypse, again, again | Levelling up without clicking anything; winged, amorphous, armored blob thing; airship takes off and crash lands with no airtime in the middle |
| 2022-10-30 | Killing Time | Game provides in-universe reasoning for the weapons and ammunition found scattered throughout game world |
| 2023-06-19 | The Legend of Kyrandia 2 | Enforced puns |
| 2025-04-12 | Sabotain (almost, but it's rare, never on this scale) | Camera rotates around speaking npc |
