Spiritual Successor

Spiritual Successor: The original UK version was a spiritual successor to Future Publishing's earlier Amiga Power. At one time they shared many of the same staff writers, and PC Gamer carried over much of its tone, some regular articles (like the annual Top 100), and several of the running gags and memetic mutations from Amiga Power as well. Of course, it was covering a different machine, and things changed after the AP staffers eventually moved on.

Butt-Monkey: Greg "TheVede" Vederman, one of the US editors, who is sometimes the butt of jokes, doesn't take himself seriously and one photoshoot in the tech corner had a young woman wondering if she'll choose between either two computer components or a cheerful Greg... cue a sad Greg crying "She didn't pick me!".

Fictional Video Game: Gravy Trader, developed by the US mascot Coconut Monkey. One CD included a "review" of the game among other older game reviews, rating it a 101% and concluding it with "We have seen the face of God and there is gravy dribbling down his chin".

Four-Point Scale: Very averted. They have rated several games going as low as 5% (Skydive! and Extreme Watersports) or even 4% (Mad Dog McCree).

Running Gag

Running Gag: Coconut Monkey mentions frequently that he can't do this or that because he has no hands, and that he's trying to make a game called Gravy Trader. In case you're wondering, this Gravy Trader game will never, ever see the light of day. Relatively recently, PC Gamer will take any excuse they can get to use an image from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt of Geralt relaxing in a bathtub as the headline image for any Witcher content. Eventually reached a head with CD Projekt RED sent them their own personal statue of Geralt reading PC Gamer magazines in the same pose. For a while, there was a short weird unrelated story paragraph written in the lower right of the last page of the US magazine. When asked about it in mail corner, their reply was basically "we have no idea what you're talkin about".
