 slowbeef (Lets Play)
comment
In 2007, Something Awful user slowbeef (real name: Michael Sawyer) posted a video of him playing The Immortal with commentary over it and called it "Let's Play". Numerous adapted this term for this kind of video.note Despite often being credited as the ur-father of the entire Let's Play phenomenon, slowbeef himself downplays this role and notes that he at the most just made the term popular. Filming gameplay with commentary dates back to the VHS era, and screenshot LPs on the Let's Play Archive have dated back to at least a year before he started out. In 2008, he along with fellow Something Awful user Diabetus created Retsupurae, a YouTube account in which the two make fun of the worst LPs out there, for which he has gained an even bigger following than his Let's Plays, which he still continues to do. Retsupurae also spawned a spinoff called Webcam Ward, in which the same principle is applied to non-gaming YouTube videos.slowbeef's LPs can be found here, here, and here. See also Diabetus, who guest stars in many of his videos (and vice-versa sometimes).

Tempting Fate: While in Elysia in Metroid Prime 3: "I was hoping to roll off the edge into another endless pit...". He does. Diabetus seems to have the uncanny ability to make joke predictions that actually end up true. Particularly in both Dead to Rights LPs. Happens several times in the Dark Souls LP, to the point where slowbeef saying that something doesn't seem so bad and then immediately dying is like an unintentional Running Gag.

Your Head A-Splode
 slowbeef (Lets Play) / int_1713b00a
comment
Your Head Asplode: Every LP he's done has featured either a head actually exploding, getting blown off, or at the very least a head shot. His screenshot LP of the Dating Sim Sprung had a photoshopped explosion with the reason that "every slowbeef LP has a head explosion." Even Dark Souls technically qualifies when Slowbeef momentarily chooses to be infected by an Egg-Burdened, and his head starts to bulge with giant maggots. He seems unusually amused by it.

Angrish: Not as angry as the usual examples, but the beef's first encounter with kinetic orb cannons in Echoes completely destroys his ability to speak coherently; you can tell that the illogical nature of the device has hit a Berserk Button. In the first Prime game, he's rendered incoherent for the better part of a minute when he takes the wrong route to the Omega Pirate boss fight, and traps himself on the far side of a locked door, through a Phazon-covered tunnel. He lapses into infuriated gibberish a couple of times during the Grapple Guardian and Chykka fights.

Hurricane of Puns: While facing Thardus (who's made up of rocks), Diabetus makes several rock/stone-based puns. slowbeef attempts to follow his lead... with varying results. Although slowbeef subverts one joke by going out of his way to not say "gneiss". "Aqua reaper that's what people call me. Why?" said during the Metroid Prime LP is a reference to a line from Margaret Moonlight's Theme.

Hidden Depths: Judging from this video, as well as his work on creating an unofficial translation patch of Policenauts, Slowbeef is quite skilled in the Japanese language, skilled enough even to know the distinctions between accents. He also seems to be quite fond of philosophy. He brings up a small instance of Voltaire in Diabetus' Metroid Fusion LP. He also countered the frustratingly terrible LPing of one Quadraxis14 by reading "On Liberty" by John Stuart Mill.

From the same LP, slowbeef tends to look at all its enemies with disdain. Except Rezbits. Even going as far as to ask whether they reappear in Corruption. And in the actual Corruption LP, he excitedly hopes aloud whether similar-looking enemies he came across were Rezbits.

comment
During his Let's Play of Revenge of Shinobi for the Hard Games Thread on Something Awful, whenever he came across something particularly lawyer baiting, Slowbeef would claim to have an email from Sega's lawyer claiming that said something is not what it appears to be ripping off, such as the picture of Joe Musashi on the title screen not being Sonny Chiba from Kage No Gundan or the flamethrower guys not being Rambo (even if they had the license, he's bald in later versions), and the Round 4 boss not being either Arnold Schwarzenegger or the Hulk even if he's a robot and turns green. Played with in two letters which apologizes for a poor representation of the state of Detroit, and another which asks people not to Let's Play Shining Force. Averted when he fights Web-Bat, the boss of Round 6, where said letter claims it IS Spider-Man (Since Sega had the license to make Spidey games at the time.) but the guy he turns into is certainly not Batman (And later revisions changed him to Devilman anyway.) and the dinosaur boss of Round 7 IS Godzilla ("Fuck it, it IS Godzilla.")

Invoked Trope: In the Metroid Prime LP series: Best Boss Ever: Thardus, any form of Ridley, Spider Guardian, Caretaker Drone, Dark Samus. invoked Best Level Ever: Sanctuary Fortress. Remarkable in that it's the only level in the entire trilogy to elicit an overtly passionate response from slowbeef, yet hails from his least favorite game in the Prime series. invoked Ensemble Dark Horse: Ridley, Lava Clam, Rezbit, Angseth invoked Goddamned Bats: War Wasps, Chozo Ghosts, Grenchlers, Dark Pirate Commandos. invoked Goddamned Boss: Grapple Guardian, Chykka, Mogenar, Gandrayda. invoked Nightmare Fuel: Samus's eye reflections (especially when they render incorrectly), Bloggs. invoked Scrappy Mechanic: Spider Ball puzzles, key collecting, the Dark World's life draining, the grapple lasso. invoked That One Level: The crashed Space Pirate frigate, Phazon Mines, Torvus Bog. invoked From the Dead to Rights LP: Best Boss Ever: Pinnacle. invoked Breather Episode: According to slowbeef in the last few videos of the Corruption LP, he saw the upcoming Dead to Rights Retribution LP as this for himself, since he had recorded the gameplay some time ago and all that was left was to watch and comment. Good Bad Bugs: A few on the airplane stage. invoked Guilty Pleasure: slowbeef insists throughout the LP that it's actually a good game, even though he keeps having to end it with "...except this part" every time he says it. Memetic Badass: Shadow. invoked Memetic Psychopath: Jack Slate invoked So Bad, It's Good: Their general opinion. invoked

Mentors: Guest commentators Vicas and Toffile act as this for newcomer to the Metroid Prime series Slowbeef during his run through the Prime trilogy. Diabetus dabbles in this during Corruption. Scarboy fills this role for slowbeef's Super Metroid LP. Slowbeef himself serves as a Trickster Mentor for Diabetus during the Fusion LP. In Dark Souls: Red Mercer, as well as the fans, mentor Slowbeef on the tricks of the infamously hard game. Slowbeef's also mentioned that Diabetus is a huge fan of the game, and he can be heard typing to him over Skype now and then (probably about his progress).

Hypocrisy Nod: In 2008, Slowbeef and Diabetus posted a Retsupurae video mocking a Youtube LP of Snatcher, commenting on what a terrible idea it was to LP Snatcher in video form. One year later, the duo made their own video LP of the game, and one of the very first things they comment on is the apparent hypocrisy. The description for the first episode of Metroid Prime when it was rehosted on Slowbeef's YouTube channel was "See how many things we do in this LP that we've made fun of on Retsupurae."

Catchphrase
 slowbeef (Lets Play) / int_b01abe4f
comment
Catchphrase: Plenty of gags here. According to slowbeef, Ridley's catchphrase is "It's a livin'!" In Prime 3 it became "Still fallin'." Metroid Fusion turned it into "Freezin' my balls off here!" Throughout the Prime LPs, nearly every time slowbeef encounters a new enemy, he says some variation of 'What the hell is this?' From the same LPs, Diabetus has a habit of saying "Corruption!" in a funny voice. Slowbeef, in general, will often say "God Almighty" when faced with a particularly trying or annoying obstacle, "Oh, fuck me!" when there's a sudden hazard, and "...so, there's that," when something absurd happens. Slowbeef tends to add "...is the thing" to odd statements. For example: The Bloodborne LP spawned two: "Oh, Yarnham" and "Fuck yeah, Babycakes." During the Wifestream videos, slowbeef and ShiddyKat frequently say "What a Jerk!" to each other.

Epic Fail: While playing Dark Souls, slowbeef fights the Bell Gargoyles several times with an un-upgraded halberd, and manages to nearly kill them several times. He upgrades it, goes back to challenge them again, and promptly gets destroyed by the first one. In his Bloodborne playthrough, he loses to the Blood-Starved Beast when the Beast is at single-digit HP. He does it again in the same game when tackling the DLC: His victory over the Living Failures is almost completely nullified by the fact that their blue meteor move still connected after they died. Even when he had won, he lost.

Take That!: Diabetus after seeing the night club mini-game in the Dead to Rights LP asked slowbeef this: Later on in the same LP, Slowbeef refers to the 13th level as the "gooniest", due to its plot involving Jack chasing after a love interest even after she shot another love interest and then stole from him at gunpoint. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption manages to be the subject of its own LP only by barely edging out the mass quantity of harsh criticism of Metroid: Other M. Indeed, the first episode begins with slowbeef mid-rant about the game. His final Dark Souls episode is a very long jab at the game's Fan Dumb.

Fun with Acronyms: In the videos with guest NGDBSS, Slowbeef and General Ironicus make several guesses as to what exactly said guest's name stood for. Norfair Gargoyles Do Best, Samus Struggles North Germany Distributes Bad Swastika Stickers Nine Grunting Deadbeats Say So News Gets Damn Better Sometime Soon Naval Gratuity Does Boats Several Services Nifty Grunge Destructive Bands Save Soldiers Necromonicon Goes Deadly Before Sitting Still They also say that Vicas stands for Varia Ice Cannon And Stuff

Hypercompetent Sidekick: The Metroid Prime videos tend to feature guest commentators who know far more about where slowbeef needs to go than he does. Particularly Vicas. This is lampshaded a few times. Shadow in Dead to Rights, thanks to being a teleporting One-Hit Kill attack that steals the victim's weapon. slowbeef and Diabetus end up playing him up as even more badass and doing most of the work and thinking for Slate while he just bumbles around and shoots random henchman.

Ensemble Dark Horse: invoked From Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Galactic Federation Marine Corps specialist M. Angseth, communications officer, Samus fangirl and late-to-the-party victim. Slowbeef holds her in high regard and continues to reference her many videos later. From the same LP, slowbeef tends to look at all its enemies with disdain. Except Rezbits. Even going as far as to ask whether they reappear in Corruption. And in the actual Corruption LP, he excitedly hopes aloud whether similar-looking enemies he came across were Rezbits.

Offscreen Inertia: Slowbeef and Diabetus use, as a Running Joke, the idea that Ridley is still falling down the hole in which Samus fought him. Over a month later, when Samus fights Ridley again near the end of the game, they immediately conclude that Ridley just stopped falling, and the arena where she fights him just happens to be the end of the very, very long chute that Ridley's been falling down the entire game.

Despair Event Horizon: slowbeef nearly crosses this in Torvus Bog, culminating in a priceless fight with Chykka. He gets better once he gets to Sanctuary.

He often mentions editing out things Diabetus and other commentators say and put in comments praising his skill. He never does. He and the guests also often act like the episode just started after he dies, as if he would edit out the failure. He also never does. This extends to Diabetus' LP of Fusion as well.

Brick Joke: During a dull moment from Metroid Prime: Echoes video, Diabetus notes that he's playing Super Mario Galaxy 2. A few videos later, slowbeef opened a video playing that game. One of the earliest LPs slowbeef did was Super Metroid. Before the Ridley fight, slowbeef mentions that he's scared of Ridley. This LP precedes the Alternative Character Interpretation and was done about three years before Metroid: Other M. Surely, someone was inspired...
