Gaming Garbage was the name of Something Awful founder Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka's YouTube channel which, beginning in the Spring of 2013, became primarily a Let's Play channel in which both he and The Flash Tub co-founder Dave "Shmorky" Kelly searched the internet for the bottomest of the very bottom of Video Game barrels to find crudely designed homebrew freeware games, often programmed in entry-level template software programs such as Game Maker and Unity. The videos involved Lowtax (usually) attempting to play through barely (if at all) playable digital cacophonies of primitive and unprofessional one-man graphic and sound design, often relying on stolen assets in order to give the illusion of something that wasn't made by a delusional child, while both he and Shmorky provided appropriate commentary.The channel initially was a dumping ground of either personal or Something Awful related videos under Lowtax's "lowtaxico" account until he decided to do a Let's Play of the Survival Horror Cry of Fear. Despite Lowtax's lack of experience with the medium, the videos garnered massive praise from the Something Awful community for his dry, sarcastic and highly critical commentary as well as his honest criticism of concentrated Narm and flaws in game design. When Shmorky took to the microphone in the fourth installment, a chemistry was established (along with a much-beloved Breakout Character) and the two ran with it. During the Cry of Fear run, the two took much-needed breaks (up to six months in length) to LP other games, beginning with an obtuse Survival Horror game named "Slenderman.exe", followed by a handful of homebrewed Grand Theft Auto clones. Finally, the two branched out into any messed up game of any kind they could find on the YoYo Games website (and later, Game Jolt for their increasing Unity-engine fixes, and Steam Greenlight) to expose in all their Bile Fascinating glory.The first official title that was used for the channel was Interactive Gaming Television Online Video Entertainment, or IGTOVE. It proved to be short-lived, replaced by the more appropriate Video Game Abomination Broadcasting (VGA), and the name stuck for the remainder of 2013 before eventually being changed to Gaming Garbage in late Winter of 2014.In September of 2014, Lowtax announced via Twitter that he would no longer be doing videos for the Gaming Garbage channel "in the foreseeable future". In 2015, the channel became more active as Lowtax started livestreaming new content (either alone or with his then-wife and daughter), and it was essentially reborn in 2017 as Lowtax recruited his friend Jonathan as the new official co-host, and the Shmorky era was regarded as a bit of an Old Shame for the channel.After Google suspended Lowtax's monetization efforts, he and Jonathan slowed down on the comparatively labor-intensive work of Let's Plays in favor of a Gaming Garbage podcast, "Murder the Internet". However, by late 2019 the podcasts had stopped and gaming content made a return, usually in the form of livestreams with Jonathan, until Jonathan got a job elsewhere. After that, just like in the beginning, the channel served as Lowtax's solo effort consisting mostly of livestreams while still retaining the Gaming Garbage title.In November 2021, Lowtax committed suicide after being overwhelmed by debts, putting an end to the channel. | |

Special Guest: Mike Nelson of RiffTrax and Mystery Science Theater 3000 appears in place of Shmorky for a few games. Lowtax challenges TotalBiscuit to a speedrun of A Nightmare on Elm Street: Blood Days. Also parodied during their playthrough of "Rainbow Wizard," which features Mark Levin (Lowtax) and Robin Williams (Shmorky). Fellow Something Awful co-founder Kevin "Fragmaster" Bowen joins (and heckles) Lowtax as he plays Jay's Mod (a clone of Garry's Mod that succeeds about as well as you'd think) and Belly of the Beast (a borderline unplayable Survival Horror game). Lowtax's 8-year-old daughter Lauren gives her thoughts, along with her father's, on the inexplicably popular Slender: The Arrival, Minecraft Adventure mod/Endless Stairwell clone Cube SCP-087 and Beestmeel follow-up Prep Froth Time Travel 2. | |

Vocal Evolution | |
| Gaming Garbage (Lets Play) / int_2ef005ab | comment |
Vocal Evolution: During the Cry of Fear/GTA clone videos, Lowtax's delivery was dryer and less hammy. Shmorky started out speaking in a relatively deeper, flatter tone resembling a stereotypical nerd voice before adopting a more whimsical, emotive style, and becoming increasingly higher pitched. Starting in late 2013/early 2014, Shmorky's voice started becoming very frail, dainty and timid, often breaking and constantly squeaky in tone. They later some of his confidence back, but their tone still remains rather shrill and harsh in the latest videos. A more broad summation of their voice and overall inflection would be going from an "uh" sound (IGTOVE-era) to an "ah" sound (VGA-era) to an "ee" sound (GG-era). Shmorky's pitch shift is given as the primary reason they were let go. | |

Took a Level in Kindness: Both Lowtax and Shmorky are noticeably more forgiving to the channel's usual fare than they are towards Cry of Fear, despite the vast majority of them showing noticeably less competence. Probably because they only have to play them for a minute fraction of the time. | |

Characterization Marches On | |

Characterization Marches On: Being new to the Let's Play medium, Lowtax was more hesitant and low-key in his dialogue and delivery, but within only a couple months became the ultra-snarky Large Ham we all know and love. Shmorky's voice and personality started out as that of a laid back, nasally accented voice, before evolving into a exuberant Keet and then descending into a quivery Shrinking Violet, all while becoming higher and higher in pitch with every video. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Gaming Garbage (Lets Play) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Lowtax giving up at the second boss of Mega Lord after getting himself killed over and over by a boss that really isn't that hard at all. Earth Defiance crashing to Windows 8 right when Lowtax was starting to actually enjoy it. Stowaway ends with the protagonist falling off the wing of the plane and landing in a confined area next to a thirty foot high block which says "WELCOME TO PRISON". Neither of the two ever figure out how to "Trigger dump load" in Burglar Simulator 1.5. "Let's Play: Secret Of The Magic Crystal" ends with a Crazy-Prepared Lowtax still losing the race, likely to him not checking his horse's stamina first. TotalBiscuit and Lowtax breaking down and quitting the Nintendo Hard Nightmare on Elm Street Blood Days after approximately half an hour of dying to Pinhead. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: If you want to have a Gaming Garbage marathon, you'll have to watch home videos of Lowtax hanging around with Chinese people first. Shmorky doesn't appear until Cry of Fear Part 4. And even then their trademark Keet voice had yet to be developed; rather it resembled more of a stereotypical "nasal nerd" style. | |

Faux Horrific | |
| Gaming Garbage (Lets Play) / int_5080221 | comment |
Faux Horrific: One of Lowtax's Crowning Moments of Funny is "Let's Play: Death Unknown", where he parodies the overblown "scarecam" style popularized by PewDiePie and Markiplier by playing a horror game almost completely devoid of any readily identifiable horror elements and acting comically horrified at everything. This was also done in an earlier video: "Let's Play: Nightmare!", though without the camera and was done with Shmorky, rather than a solo run. Taken up to eleven in "Let's Play: ''Real Life''" where Lowtax takes footage of a typical workday and scarecams the hell out of it. | |

AlternateCharacterInterpretation | |
| Gaming Garbage (Lets Play) / int_54f999c | comment |
Alternate Character Interpretation: In-Universe. Lowtax likes to do this to a lot of the characters in the games they play. The monster in Halls, for example, is just a real estate agent who can only communicate in screams and circling her customers rapidly. Batman is a Kleptomaniac Hero who keeps stealing things to add to his giant collection in the Batcave. Pac-Man* specifically, his Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures incarnation is a selfish, egotistical, megalomanic and sociopathic Jerkass that just so happens to be the main protagonist for whatever reason. | |

Nintendo Hard | |
| Gaming Garbage (Lets Play) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: See Fake Difficulty above. Luckily most of the developers are too lazy to even bother with creating a challenge in the first place, and when they do, you can bet it will be a disaster. TOT Comics' entries—Catland Pounland Wars and the Smarty Lab games—are littered with fast-moving and bullet sponging enemies that deliver rapid-fire Collision Damage from across the room. Smarty Labs Counterattack is the worst of the lot, combining these inconveniences with tight corridors and big ambushes. Lowtax's foul-mouthed Rage Quit is gentlemanly in terms of the game's inevitable reactions. Mega Lord can be described as the Platform equivalent of Bullet Hell, made worse by finicky controls and rampant physics bugs that put the player in frequent moments of helplessness. Bladevampirek's A Nightmare on Elm Street games Blood Craze 1 & 2 and Blood Days, Boss Games where every other boss you fight is That One Boss. You're a One-Hit-Point Wonder that has to dodge massive enemy sprites that kill you with a single pixel of the rectangle that contains their respective sprite which also happen to move significantly faster than your character and require dozens upon dozens of hits by your one-way projectiles to kill and have unpredictable moving patterns. As bad as the Blood Craze games are about it, Blood Days takes it up to eleven by facing you against a boss that adds similarly killbox-sized Beam Spam to the mix, and a fight against Pinhead which requires you to punch a well-guarded box about a hundred or so times as he shifts erratically all over the screen. The first two games were miraculously completed by Lowtax and Shmory, while the third put Lowtax and professional e-sports athlete TotalBiscuit through an hour before collapsing in disillusionment. Earth Defiance, possibly due to a timing bug, pits you against projectile-spewing aliens armed with Deflector Shields while you die in one hit in a situation where everything moves far too quickly to properly react. It takes Lowtax approximately 1,000,000,000 minutes to complete the first encounter. Escape 4 Beta combines a lack of Knockback with a lack of Mercy Invincibility and a limited attack hitbox to create instant death situation where enemies run right past your fists and Collision Damage your character to death from the center of its sprite. Caves of Hell, a First-Person Shooter where you face armies of Demonic Skeletons with Improbable Aiming Skills and unpredictable strafe patterns that habitually spawn in inconvenient places, as well as jumping puzzles where the player is forced to work around a bug that cripples the usual sprint-jump mechanic. | |

Driven to Suicide: In the opening to "Let's Play: Flapper Racers", Lowtax tells Shmorky he feels like killing himself. After playing the game, he closes the video saying that he is going to "blow [his] brains out". The fact that Lowtax has gone on the record as to consider Flapper Racers the worst game he's ever played makes this particularly more stark. Shmorky gets themselves dead with a pistol after losing a bet and going completely nuts in "Let's Play: Horse Racing". During Horse Storm Escape, Shmorky eats a Cyanide Pill hidden in their tooth to escape being tied to a chair. | |

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: "Batman" features lots and lots of fights with Batman villains with no rhyme or reason, seemingly just so there can be a fight with that particular villain. In Prevention 1 you are told to hunt down and kill "the General", yet the sole boss you face is a giant, floating head with its mouth permanently agape. Which turns out to not be the General the game keeps preparing you for. | |

Mind Screw | |
| Gaming Garbage (Lets Play) / int_bef696dd | comment |
Mind Screw: Unsurprising when one combines an outsider artist's publishing wet dream (YoYo Games) and a website highly versed in mining out said outsider art (Something Awful). Potato Pushur is undeniably this trope concentrate. It turns potatos into one big motif and combines it with Deranged Animation, Gorn, Body Horror, Epileptic Flashing Lights and whoTF knows what else, all within a narrative too twisted to make up. Dontrel Dolphin is the ultimate example of a Mascot Platformer gone horribly wrong. From the concept to the execution, the whole thing literally looks (and sounds) like a disturbed child's nightmare. After a while, it becomes hard to tell what anything is supposed to be. Erned Laser. You shoot crudely drawn "aliens" with a crudelier drawn gun that has a perpetually offset crosshair in a small, square map with textures made up of random, MS Paint-drawn patterns while you search for the crudliest drawn floating potato, where you can walk straight off the map into a black void where sprites representing basic rectangles pop out from underneath the floor. All of this while a seemingly random arrangement of sound effects comprise the "background music". Space Blaster does this intentionally, taking a relatively normal space shooter game and then playing with the visuals and mechanics, all while making obtuse statements towards the player regarding their interaction with the game itself and other mysterious topics. Survival Horror is not, in fact, a Survival Horror game in the traditional sense, but rather a maze with solid magenta walls and a floor that consists of a snapshot of a villainous-looking Bishōnen and randomly scattered Zero sprites while the "music" from CrazyBus plays. "Let's Play Doland8". Shmorky and Lowtax walk the player through an indecipherable Free-to-Play Game Maker MMO using creepy animated avatars while Jump Cutting to obscure pre-2000s computer games and making up lots of non-sequiter shit. It's better if you see for yourself. The artsy games attempt this but just end up getting heckled. Beestmeel might be by far the biggest Mind Screw of them all. The video title has "ABSOLUTELY INSANE" in brackets, and the video even begins with a personal health warning telling the viewer to stop the video. See for yourself. | |

Jump Scare | |
| Gaming Garbage (Lets Play) / int_c04b1231 | comment |
Jump Scare: Almost a guarantee if they're playing a Survival Horror game. They usually only react with either annoyance or amusement. Nightmare Dungeon easily cranked this up to eleven by including near-constant jump scares, until one was happening every 2-3 seconds and Lowtax was just trying to kill himself as fast as possible so they'd stop. The Chair at the End of the Corrider actually warns the player about its Jump Scare at the title screen, thus ruining the whole point of its existence. | |

Felony Misdemeanor: The school administration in Prom Protector is apparently so fed up with the senior class that they've decided that if even one student acts up, prom will be cancelled. This ranges from students smoking and cutting class to throwing paper airplanes and running back and forth in the hallways. Lowtax hates Batman because his parents died and "that's just stupid". Also because he fell down a well. | |

Shmorky and Lowtax provide music and sound effects respectively to replace the licensed track in Far Cry 3. The ending to The Forgotten Project of the Damned. | |

In the opening to "Let's Play: Flapper Racers", Lowtax tells Shmorky he feels like killing himself. After playing the game, he closes the video saying that he is going to "blow [his] brains out". The fact that Lowtax has gone on the record as to consider Flapper Racers the worst game he's ever played makes this particularly more stark. | |

Wall of Text: The dialogue in Nintendo World 2 EX is ungodly drawn out ham and melodrama that serves no purpose given the otherwise simplistic subject matter. Lowtax naturally skips through the vast majority of it as quickly as possible. "Killer Jeff" ends with a literal example that thnaks [sic] the player and refers them to game's creepypasta source material. "Space Survivors Shooter" starts with a hangar that is just long enough for every paragraph of the instructions to fit on a single line. | |

| Gaming Garbage (Lets Play) / int_e545d293 | comment |
Narm: In-universe. Absolutely unavoidable throughout the amateur Survival Horror games. The game Torture - where your character tortures a helpless victim - was especially notable for this (fortunately so, as it would be a rather disturbing theme for a game otherwise) Immediately after choosing a torture action, the victim cries out for the torturer to stop. However, he cries out based on the specific action the player chose for the torturer, even before the victim sees what it is ("Don't punch me in the right eye!") After cutting the victim's right leg off with a chainsaw, Lowtax gives the command "stitch right leg", and watches as the torturer walks straight past the victim offscreen looking for the now missing right leg. The mixture of custom 2D animation with 3D Unity assets in Viral Compiracy* Viral Conspiracy is a sight to behold, and neither Jonathan or Lowtax can keep themselves together during scenes where the custom animations are featured. | |

Insistent Terminology | |
| Gaming Garbage (Lets Play) / int_e563bf09 | comment |
Insistent Terminology: Often games will be referred to by the name of their executable file rather than the official name itself. For instance, Behind You is called Behind You Windows in both the commentary and the official video title. This is especially common if there is no title shown in the folder ("GAME.exe") or the game itself ("1.exe"). This also goes for spelling and grammar mistakes, such as Lowtax always pronouncing "theif" as "the-if" in "Let's Play: Burglar Simulator: A House Theif", though sometimes he lets it slide a bit, such as during "Let's Play: Sonic for Begginers". | |

Running Gag: fern.png Hoping that there isn't a twist ending involving Slender Man. "Get fucked!" in the livestreams. Singing certain things to the tune of the DuckTales (1987) theme song, usually if they involve houses and/or ghosts. Lowtax bragging about how good he is (supposedly) at Video Games. Asking or stating whether or not something is "the real Minecraft", a meme originating in the comments on "Let's Play: Minecraft 3D" left by Yogscast subscribers. Lowtax following any utterance of "here I/we am/are" with "Miss America". Lowtax referring to indiscernible objects as wadsnote possibly a habit stemming from his days of reviewing terrible DOOM maps back in The '90s, mounds or globules. The toilet in Terminations 4. "Obama's America" and some variation thereof. Lowtax commenting that a character has "all the rights moves." (see: Catchphrase entry) Shmorky yawning into the mic and then being chastised by Lowtax. Lowtax complaining about art-based games and calling them pointless. Claiming to know all about a work of popular culture and then making up fake characters that are not actually a part of said work (Batman, Pokemon, My Little Pony, etc.). Saying corporate slogans. "_________________ was my nickname in college/high school." | |
