Game Care Network (also known as Game Centered Nitpicks, but usually just abbreviated to GCN) is a YouTube channel that follows the formula of CinemaSins, but sins video games instead of movies. The first of several channels to consistently mimic CS in this manner, they openly display their Follow the Leader status, and enjoy making fun of themselves for it (as well as simultaneously trolling the YouTube commenters that attack them because of this fact). GCN kicked off its channel with its Gaming Sins series in 2013, and has been putting out sins videos ever since. Visit the YouTube channel here. | |

The Dreaded | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: EA. So much so that several games were given 500 sins right off the bat because they were simply created by them. Speaking of EA, its CEO - Andrew Wilson - is the one person who gets his own Bullshit Sin Counter which then adds the number of its sins to a total sin counter. This happens in every single E3 sins video so far, save 2019 where Wilson himself is not present; the narrator instead gives the press conference 500 sins, on top of the 1000 sins EA already racked up just for having a press conference. Konami also qualifies. Still, narrator admits that the only person who made one of its gaming masterpieces great is Hideo Kojima who later left this company. WB Games. Mostly thanks to their "bullshit business practices." Aiden Pearce. This "colossal shitlord" is the reason why narrator gives 300 sins to the game. Aiden proved to be a douchebag and a liar, and this is what qualifies him as a "protagonist that should die in first 30 minutes of the game." Revamped version of Dante. He is so different that he doesn't embody the core essential elements of the original, most-beloved version of the character. The fact that this game even exists earns it over 9000 sins. Also, the "enemies of modern video gaming": cinematic letterbox, first-person point of view in critical plot moments and Quick-Time Events. | |

The Bad Guy Wins | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: Narrator asserts that by all reasonable accounts, this is how Mortal Kombat X should have ended. He approves the Batman: Arkham City's dual choice system within the Catwoman campaign, where you can decide to leave Arkham City, abandon Batman to die, and allow Joker and Two-Face's gangs to break out and overwhelm Gotham; however, this is not an actual ending to the game, and should you choose this, the game will literally rewind itself and force you to save Batman. The narrator adds a sin for this, saying that a story with a backbone would have gone through with the bad ending. | |

Strange Minds Think Alike: With fellow video game nitpicker, Dartigan, often reviewing the same games within a few months, weeks, or even days, and occasionally even reacting in similar ways to specific scenes. While neither has referenced the other thus far, the coincidences occur so frequently that one has to wonder if the two channels are connected somehow. | |

Rule of Cool | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: Even though they usually sin this in games, not even the members of GCN are always immune to this. While sinning Mirror's Edge, the narrator considers the Slow Motion unlocking of the "Sweet Goodbye" achievement(which entails jumping from a high place, pulling a 180, and nailing the British equivalent of Flipping the Bird while falling backwards) to be so cool that it's worth taking off 300 sins. | |

Take That, Audience! | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_3ea462d7 | comment |
Take That, Audience!: GCN gave one to a good amount of their viewers at one point. As soon as they started their channel, despite the fact that they openly acknowledged their connection to CinemaSins and told people to "Check out the originals (and superiors)," many commenters still complained that they were just a rip-off. They later responded by publishing "Everything Wrong with GCN," purposefully using many of the same jokes that CS used in their "Everything Wrong with CinemaSins" video, and even having the exact same bonus round (1 sin for every fanboy that they pissed off, which subsequently broke the sin counter, and resulted in the sin total being infinity). In the same video, they put in a Take That! through a Call-Back to their Resident Evil 6 video, where the narrator responds to Leon's offhand comment that it seems that God isn't watching over them anymore with the declaration that "That's because God doesn't exist" and a sin. In EWWGCN, the narrator reveals that they put in that line just to antagonize fanatics, puts up the hate comments that they received, says "And like the good sheep they are, they fell for it," and gives the channel another sin. | |

Deus ex Machina | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex Machina: Narrator points out that this is really how the main heroes of Mortal Kombat X survive long enough to foil the villain. This is also a staple for every similar situation in other sins videos. It even has other names: Fox-Die Ex Machina: Liquid dies from it in final part of Metal Gear Solid. And this happens right before he could kill Solid Snake and Meryl. Justification for "Ex Machina" part indeed. Cancer Ex Machina: Ana is slowly dying because of it in Rise of the Tomb Raider. Robin Ex Machina: Robin saves Batman's ass from League of Assassins in Arkham City. | |

Book Ends: Narrator lampshades that this is what Mortal Kombat X was going for by having Cassie Cage defeat Shinnok in the final battle just like Johnny did near the beginning of the game. However, this doesn't earn any points from him, as it was unrealistic that Johnny was even able to accomplish this in the first place, simply making Cassie's victory even more ridiculous. | |

Sincerity Mode | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_5717e34 | comment |
Sincerity Mode: Will occasionally engage this if a game impresses them enough. Examples of note being: After spending about 10 minutes straight destroying DmC: Devil May Cry, the narrator admits that the dream sequence where Dante uncovers more about his past while also learning to use his new weapons is actually a pretty efficient game mechanic and takes off four sins. He also sympathizes somewhat with the villain at the end, saying "Gotta admit, he's got a point" and taking off four more sins when the antagonist lays out his motivations. The narrator sins The Order: 1886 extensively for its paper-thin plot, two-dimensional characters, and constant showing off of its advanced graphics to try and hide its failings. However, he does later acknowledge that the game's textures and transitions from cutscene to gameplay are seamless, taking off a sin and saying that this, at least, is an advancement in gaming. See the E3 example for Pet the Dog above. The narrator goes into this frequently during his sins video of Metal Gear Solid, often noting certain elements of its story and gameplay that are so intricate that they put modern-day games to shame. This rant about Aiden Pearce at the end of Watch Dogs sins video: | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: They sin Mortal Kombat X for particularly ridiculous uses of this, in order to avoid explaining how relatively weaker characters keep beating easily more powerful ones. One example is the very first chapter, when Johnny Cage defeats Sub-Zero, a trained warrior from a clan that is the Chinese equivalent of ninjas, Scorpion, the fighter from an actual Japanese Ninja clan reborn as a demon from a Fire and Brimstone Hell, and even SHINNOK, a former ELDER GOD. The last example is when the Narrator goes from somewhat exasperated derision to legitimate frustration: | |

Forgot About His Powers: They have a bit of a problem with Raiden pulling this, so much so that it's approaching Running Gag territory. When the God of Lightning accidentally mortally wounds Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat 9, the narrator asks why he couldn't simply revive him before he died like he did Jax earlier in the game. The narrator also calls Raiden out on his obliviousness to his own power in Mortal Kombat X when the god laments his supposed inability to revive Liu Kang and Kung Lao from their revenant forms. | |

Moment of Awesome / Sugar Wiki | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_6e514f2 | comment |
Moment of Awesome: Mostly applies when the games receive a sin reduction. Notable examples include: Deathstroke's badassery in Injustice sins video. All because he is able to trash-talk with Wonder Woman (who is an fearsome Amazon, by the way) with zero fucks given. The opening narration of Bioshock. The narrator acknowledges the fact that this is the segment which other developers could use for their games, mainly because it's short, simple and taken straight to the point. Beating up on Nathan Prescott in Life Is Strange. Every punch delivered to him reducts 1 sin. The first-person dance segment in Mirror's Edge: Catalyst. Alien's inclusion into Mortal Kombat X as DLC. Rapping in Watch Dogs. Previously in the video, narrator sins the rapper because of the weak lyrics while responding with his own. Later, this particular rapper does much better rhymes, and only because of him Watch Dogs deserves its sin reduction. The outright hilarious and badass presentation of Devolver Digital on E3 2017. Lady-Swears-a-Lot included. Mark Hamill at the Game Awards 2015 when he does his iconic Joker voice for a short moment. Metal Gear Solid has several: Revolver Ocelot's introduction and the dialogue between Solid Snake and Grey Fox right before the battle with Metal Gear qualify. The climax of The Walking Dead: Season 1 when Lee Everett is slashing his way through horde of zombies. Kratos managing to calmly discipline Atreus in God of War (PS4). Dante acquiring Alastor in the original Devil May Cry. Praising one of the last cameos of Stan Lee in Spider-Man (PS4). Congratulating Rockstar Games for creating one of the greatest villains in all of gaming history: Dutch van der Linde. That tragic scene before his Disney Villain Death probably helped. Dante going full Michael Jackson in Devil May Cry 5... just because he's Dante. | |

Sonya tries to refuse, but Scorpion isn't taking "no" for an answer. The narrator quickly remembers the last time this happened with Bi-Han in Mortal Kombat 9: | |

| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_723be11b | comment |
Villain Has a Point: They actually absolve DMC (which they have stated repeatedly that they hate) of four sins when Vergil lays out his arguably reasonable intentions behind wanting to rule humanity. That may be a meager subtraction, considering how many sins they would sometimes add, but the fact that they actually acknowledged the villain's motivations as valid in a plot that they are completely biased against is impressive in and of itself. They also remove a sin from Mortal Kombat 9 when Quan Chi lampshades the Elder Gods' The Gods Must Be Lazy status. They spend nearly the entirety of their sins video for The Order: 1886 ripping apart the game's Idiot Plot. Near the end of the story, we get this when the defeated villain gives his motivation for Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: | |

Married to the Job: The Narrator sides with Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat X when Johnny points out to Sonya how she always puts her job over her family, causing Johnny to get frustrated that he can't spend time with his wife and that he is practically raising Cassie by himself. The narrator chimes in by saying that a lot of women he saw that had put their careers over their families caused their kids to be complete shitheads since they basically had no mother figure in their life. | |

| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_8042e814 | comment |
Actually Pretty Funny: While sinning Mortal Kombat 9 (or Mortal Kombat 2011), the narrator adds a sin because the devs didn't have Shao Kahn slip in a Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance reference when he has Kung Lao go up against Shang Tsung and Quan Chi simultaneously. However, Quan Chi then says: "No Earthrealm boy can stop this Deadly Alliance!", causing the narrator to burst out laughing, admitting that it was good enough, and retracting the previous sin. While the narrator fully acknowledges that Emily is obviously meant to be the stereotypical Alpha Bitch horror character, he finds a couple of her moments to be so awesome and/or funny that he begins adding likes. | |

This is given a Continuity Nod in their sins video of Mortal Kombat X, where he notes that despite their ultimate decision to intervene in Shao Kahn's plans at the end of MK 9, they still don't do anything when Shinnok—-a former Elder God himself, and therefore a far more pressing and much more personal threat to Raiden than Shao Kahn—-conducts his own invasion, causing the narrator to declare that the divine forces of the Mortal Kombat Universe have officially been demoted to "Garbage Tier." Mention is also given to the fact that despite the protection of Earthrealm being his sole responsibility, Raiden fails time and time again at this one simple task, thereby allowing the plot of MKX to happen. | |

Rule of Funny: This contributes greatly to their sin counts, as many of their sins are sly references, astronomical multiplications due to things that they just don't like, or just stuff that they make up(for example, choosing to shoot a garden gnome in The Last of Us, and then sinning Joel for being "a d*ck to gnomes" and for wasting a bullet). On the other hand, things that are enjoyably hilarious can have sins taken off, like the 200 sin deduction at E3 2017 courtesy of Devolver Digital's presentation. | |

Shout-Out | |

Shout-Out: Many times. Often to emphasize how much better a certain change would make a game, or just to make a snarky joke. Several examples are noted above. | |

Self-Deprecation | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: They frequently label themselves "sarcastic assholes" and mock their supposed status as a rip-off, although, most of the time, it's really meant to mess with the Hatedom on the Internet. | |

They also give E3 2016 500 sins at the very start just because of EA, and E3 2017 got that plus an additional 80, one for every minute it ran, and then the Andrew Wilson Bullshit Sin Counter for 320 extra sins. | |

Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_dba1f5b5 | comment |
Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Played straight and then immediately subverted during the E3 2015 sins video. The narrator says that the best way to make Halo 5: Guardians awesome on paper would be to have Master Chief go up against Samus Aran instead of Jameson "Spartan" Locke. However, he then admits that it wouldn't work in practice, as Samus beating Master Chief would be a Foregone Conclusion. Played with in Batman: Arkham City when Batman discovers that Deadshot is in Arkham City and hunting down political prisoners: And here is this example from Watch_Dogs 2: | |

A Million Is a Statistic | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_dd082289 | comment |
A Million Is a Statistic: Applies to the values of sin counter in most videos. While great (and somewhat good) games can get just several hundreds of sins, the others will receive astronomical numbers (millions, billions and even trillions). Justified since most of the reviewed games get a Bonus Round, during which the number on the sin counter can gradually and unexpectedly increase, for example, from several hundreds to many, way too fucking many sins. The only video to get infinite number of sins so far is Everything Wrong With GCN. The redux of Mass Effect 3 currently holds the record number at nearly 1.6 septendecillion sinsnote a whopping 54 zeroes, to be precise, ousting Metroid: Other M with its much lesser count of 1.3 quadrillion sins. | |

Exact Words: In MK9, the Elder Gods try to pull this, claiming that Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm is not a breach of divine law, as it is the merging of Earthrealm with Outworld that has been outlawed. Raiden isn't buying it, and neither is the narrator. | |

Malicious Misnaming: Possibly invoked in the BioShock review when the Narrator repeatedly points out how "Atlus" is no friend. One of the top comments on that video even asks "Would you kindly spell Atlas's name correctly?" | |

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_ee7ed46e | comment |
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: GCN notes in its sins video for Mortal Kombat 9 that despite the Elder Gods creating the eponymous tournament as an ironclad method of preventing Shao Kahn from merging Earthrealm with Outworld should he lose: they allow Shao Kahn to create a new tournament on Outworld out of the blue, without their knowledge or consent, after already losing the first Mortal Kombat tournament; and simply observe while Kahn invades Earthrealm despite also losing the tournament that he himself created. This causes the narrator to declare the Elder Gods useless and wholeheartedly agree with Quan Chi when he lampshades it: This is given a Continuity Nod in their sins video of Mortal Kombat X, where he notes that despite their ultimate decision to intervene in Shao Kahn's plans at the end of MK 9, they still don't do anything when Shinnok—-a former Elder God himself, and therefore a far more pressing and much more personal threat to Raiden than Shao Kahn—-conducts his own invasion, causing the narrator to declare that the divine forces of the Mortal Kombat Universe have officially been demoted to "Garbage Tier." Mention is also given to the fact that despite the protection of Earthrealm being his sole responsibility, Raiden fails time and time again at this one simple task, thereby allowing the plot of MKX to happen. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: GCN occasionally engages in this when it comes to Non Player Characters, but seems to draw the line when it comes to innocents and/or non-humanoids: in Until Dawn, the narrator sins the game for including a choice segment where you can shoot a squirrel, and additionally counts it as a sin on any player who chose that option (Jeremy actually took that option during a drunken playthrough of the game). Their review of first season of The Walking Dead ended with a montage of Lee's most dickish dialog options. | |

Running Gag | |
| Game Care Network (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Many, both borrowed and original: Often uses CinemaSins' "X is a d*ck to Y" sin. "Turret Cliché". Sinning Regenerative Health in Shooter Games. FAILURE OF THE GAME DESIGN/GAMING INDUSTRY(See Catchphrase above). The three enemies of modern gaming: cinematic letterbox, first-person perspective at critical plot moments, and Quick Time Events. Calling Capcom by a nickname given to them on the Internet: Crapcom. Saying that Batman should be able to easily do something awesome BECAUSE HE'S BATMAN!!! In any game that doesn't allow Halo-style teabagging, the narrator will play a clip showing the Player Character performing the closest approximation possible, say "This is as close to teabagging as you'll ever get in this game," and add another sin. When GCN comes across a particularly awesome or hilarious scene, said scene will usually be followed by Shao Khan's laugh and either an increase in likes, a decrease in sins, or both depending on the quality. '''UNLIMITED...... AMMO!!! *ding!*''' "Not so subtle foreshadowing." Inclusion of the "Andrew Wilson's Bullshit Sin Counter" in each E3 sins video. The Resident Evil 7 video has one where every jump scare is prefaced by the video draining out while the Super Mario Bros. death music plays. | |
