Howdy, I'm new here on the forums, but I've been a fan for a while.
Anyway, I was wondering, would anyone mind if i created a page on TVTropes.org? (Warning: very addictive site!) They've already got many pages for online reviewers, including most of the That Guy with the Glasses crew, so I figured, "hey, why not?" It would certainly help bring more attention to CotGW.
I've already outline some tropes to list:
Accentuate The Negative: Averted. The group tends to focus on the more positive aspects during a review, particularly in the "16-Bit Gems" segments.
Catch Phrase: "This is Roo from the Clan of the Gray Wolf, and there is no reset button."
Non Indicative Name: The group is only a clan in the loosest sense of the word, and has little to nothing to do with actual wolves, much less gray ones.
Once Per Episode: See Catch Phrase above.
Truffaut Was Right: Played for laughs whenever piracy is mentioned. Roo has a tendency to say that he doesn't encourage piracy... While showing that it may be beneficial or even completely neccesary to pirate to play the reviewed game.
While I'm obviously not in a position to okay you making the tvtropes page, I feel I should highlight that the echo screens also end with the reset button catchphrase, but as they are lead by the commodore (*Ding ding*), roo doesn't sign off, and so the catchphrase should probably be shortened to "There is no reset button"

I certainly have no problem with others taking it upon themselves to shamelessly promote us. :)

I think "raping the canon" might belong in there too.

Alright, before I start, does anyone have a good image of the team I could use for the page?

That one would be great, but none of the guys are looking at the camera and Roo has that RCA dog head tilt and a "that's interesting" look on his face.
I say try for a screen capture from one of the podcasts or just use the logo.
Well, since I've already got a bunch of these images saved already, how about these?

I have to agree.
Me too...

I'd love to give a dissenters opinion. But I can't be arsed. Plus the first one would still be better anyway.

Ok guys, I checked out the TVtropes entry, added the picture, and cleaned up some syntax. But I'm not super-familiar with TVtropes in general, so if you guys wanted to add some things to the page, I encourage you to.
Also, did anyone else notice that CotGW is alphabetically after Cinemassacre (the AVGN's production "company"). Awesome!
