comment
Criken2 is a gamer and Youtuber who showcases him and a few of his friends playing games. They typically are in co-op, with all the shenanigans that entail. While he records the full gameplay of whatever he's playing (and usually streams it on Twitch), the highlights only ever include the funniest and/or most insane parts of it. This has led to all of his videos being very humorous.Criken usually works with game clips tied to a particular game, but also does a series called "Criken's Fun House", which have clips not tied to any particular game, and a side series meant to satiate the fans waiting for "Criken's Fun House" called "Criken's Quickies". They, nonetheless, seem to update rather sporadically as of late. Is affiliated with Rooster Teeth and sometimes collaborates with Broteam. After a long period of staying The Faceless for his videos, he did a face reveal in the Pax Podcast of what was then TheGameStation, which can be viewed here.In July of 2017, it was announced at a panel at RTX that Criken had joined the Lets Play network of Rooster Teeth, following this, Criken and two of his main cohosts Tomato Gaming and Bedbananas formed the subgroup Sideshow in May 2018.

Sound-Only Death: Expect to hear Criken and his friends to make wacky and outrageous noises when they die. It's even more hilarious when Criken actually has to subtitle the noises they make, and at one point he acknowledged that hes become somewhat of an expert at transcribing death sounds.

Aborted Arc: Whenever he reaches the third video in a series (Dark Souls II Co-Op, Dead Island Riptide: The Adventures of Sam B, etc.) the preview for Part 4 will be shown at the end. And then never released. Justified for The Adventures of Captain Andytrout, as his hard drive was corrupted and the footage was lost. He plans on continuing the series someday.

Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: All the members lean into this on occasion, but Buck is the most frequent offender due to how quickly he can shift between being unnervingly calm to screaming like a man possessed. Bed Bananas also likes playing the part, though he's usually calmer about it.

Butt-Monkey: Everyone has their moments of this, though Skippy is the most common victim. More specific examples include: VaatiVidya in the Dark Souls III playthrough, although he does have his minor moments of revenge. "Lore quiz," anyone? Dave during his first round of Barotrauma; after dying on the ship, he respawns several times but always fails to get the shuttle back to the main ship. At one point he states there are two dead bodies in the shuttle with him, both from his previous respawns.

The Poorly Chosen One
 Criken2 (Lets Play) / int_55f7ef19
comment
The Poorly Chosen One: Criken's Dark Souls III character, Edwad [sic] Emberpants, spends most of the series as The Load his fellow champions BedBanana and VaatiVidya have to escort to his destiny. Though Edwad does display flashes of competence, he never fully grasps his mission, and at Bed's urging ends up seizing ultimate power for himself to rule over a world of darkness. BedBanana himself became this in Warcraft 3: Literally the Lord of the Rings Trilogy when he was given the role of Frodo. Near the end he decides to start repeatedly using the ring because he hadn't gotten many chances to use it throughout the campaign, only for his continuous spamming of it during the final battle with Gollum to summon two instances of the Witch-King to them causing a total campaign wipe at the very end.

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Criken is, in his own words, gravely afraid of water creatures. Naturally he must face several such creatures while playing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate as well as Subnautica.

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Criken is signified via white text, Tomato tends to have red text, Oats (or the secondary character in a 2-player game) has yellow text, and game audio is black text. (Unfortunately for OCD viewers, these colors change very often.)

Good Angel, Bad Angel: During "The Adventures of Edwad Emberpants," VaatiVidya tries to explain the setting's rich mythology to Edwad and the importance of his mission to rekindle the flame, while BedBananas whispers warnings not to trust Vaati and urges Edwad to "end the lore." Ironically flipped around in Bloodborne, when Vaati has a more flippant attitude towards things like NPC deaths and BedBananas argues kindness, something the boys lampshade.

Yank the Dog's Chain: In Board Game Night: YES MY GATEKEEPER, Criken and his friends play so ineptly they reach the point in the game where there's less than five minutes left until the Gatekeeper wins. The Gatekeeper appears and announces a rolling contest where the winner takes all remaining keys, but everyone's panicking too much and none of them hear him over their arguments causing them to run down the clock as they suffer extreme Sanity Slippage in their panic. He and Tomato's Westerado playthrough hit this when in his fervor to kill the Murderer after discovering him, Criken barrels headfirst into his lair with no regard for preparation, leading to he and Tomato being underequipped to handle things and causing their entire playthrough to fail requiring them to start all over again.
