Trivia

 * The reason Matt is playing the game with the walking speed all the way up is out of the vain hope that he'll catch a glimpse of one of the other character models walking through the office, an Easter Egg he heard about prior to playing the game which he mentions in the episode.
 * It's ironic that Matt chooses to "rate his experience" with a 3/5, since Vinny has repeatedly told him that when it comes to decision-making he's "the eternal middle of the road, 3/5 guy".
 * There is actually an ending for playing the "fire baby" game for four straight hours.
 * Matt's statement, "Four hours? I don't have that long" is a subtle reference to the fact that our typical episode lasts for about 15-20 minutes.
 * Matt played Minecraft for the first time not long after this episode aired with Nate (Red Panda); the playthrough can be found on Nate's channel under the title "Red and Tanaka do Minecraft".
