The site releases videos presenting trivia based on different franchises. Series which have been covered are Star Fox,[11] Pikmin,[12] Super Smash Bros.[13] Metroid[14] and many more. One specific series called Easter Egg Hunting looks at secrets and Easter Eggs found in games based on a particular show or in a specific game such as South Park,[15] Doctor Who[16] and Metal Gear Solid.[17] Each video is narrated by a number of popular internet personalities including Jon Jafari of JonTron,[18] Arin Hanson,[19] and Smooth McGroove.[20]
