I've been meaning to do this for a while, but I've been lazy. Realize that all the trivia only applies to the UNDERFIRE series, not any other videos from Theorem 42.
UNDERFIRE SERIES
- Ryan, Brandon, and Henry have been in every UNDERFIRE video to date.
- The sound effect for the Maverick/Revolver has been the same in every video, the Counter-Strike: Source Desert Eagle sound.
- Each video ends in the same spot.
- During filming, we have always been questioned by neighbors about our shenanigans.
- The inspiration of the series was Call of Duty 4 and Team Fortress 2.
UNDERFIRE
- This is the only video so far that only stars 3 people.
- This is the only video with subtitles.
- This is the only video that ends with everyone alive.
- This is the only video that has a "happy ending"
- When Ryan and Brandon are facing off, Ryan hides behind some stairs. After Brandon is ambushed by Henry, the stairs that Ryan is hiding behind changes. This is because when we were filming, the person who lived there came out, and we didn't want to be confronted.
- The Wilhelm Scream can be heard.
- This is the only video that a Portal song appears, 5000 Degrees Kelvin.
- This is the first video that Adobe After Effects was used in a Theorem 42 video, for the title.
- The primary color for this video is red for the sunniness and the high energy.
UNDERFIRE Deathmatch
- This is the video in which William makes his Theorem 42 debut.
- The video was actually filmed in the rain, thought the rain was intermittent, so sometimes it shows up, sometimes it doesn't.
- Henry dies in a similar fashion in the beginning as the first video; Ryan headshots him when he peeks over a bush.
- When Henry kills Ryan with the shotgun and runs away, you can see William sitting on the stairs in the background.
- This is the only video that a Team Fortress 2 song appears, Faster than a Speeding Bullet.
- The title retains the quick word glimmer as in the first video, but more advanced.
- This is the first video to have limited lives. Though it is not directly stated, once Ryan kills Brandon for the last time, he does not respawn.
- Though not directly contributing to the video, in the first 5 minutes of filming, we were yelled at by a woman for being too loud outside.
- The primary color for this video is blue for the gloominess of the rain.
UNDERFIRE War
- This is the video in which Matt makes his Theorem 42 debut.
- This is the first video that songs from the Half-Life 2 episodes appear.
- This is the first Theorem 42 video to have a trailer.
- This is the first video to include blood effects.
- This is the first video to feature team deathmatch.
- This is the first video to feature full length dialogue.
- Ryan and Henry wear black shirts, while Matt and Julien wear white shirts.
- Brandon only makes a small cameo here, for the sake of being in the video, and also to reference to the previous videos.
- It appears that Ryan, Henry, and Brandon made a truce of some sort and formed a team.
- In this video, there is a better implication of limited lives, as an example of Brandon.
- The real reason why it was raining at the end was because we filmed the ending on a separate day, and it was raining that day.
- The symbol on Ryan's shirt is of Portal.
- The title also retains the word glimmer from the first video.
- The primary color for this video is yellow, for the high energy and the high speed action.
- Team Tigers was the result of a discussion on current issues. The name of that team came from the discussion of Tiger Woods.
- The only person whose name is not mentioned is Henry.
- During the machine gun scene, a neighbor came out and confronted us.
- When Ryan's respawn is shown, an old Half-Life song plays. This is the same song we used for Ryan's respawn in UNDERFIRE.
- The silencer on Julien's rifle toward the end of the video is on crooked. The silencer was made from the core of a toilet paper roll and black electrical tape.
