He would also cover topics such as {{Sm|tamim}}'s accusations of pedophilia in the ''Smash'' community. Some of these videos are now unlisted, such as his commentary on {{sm|Pierce}}.

This video prompted {{Sm|ESAM}} to make a response [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqi-LihivaQ video] apologizing for his behavior back then, and would later apologize to {{Sm|MJG}} and {{Sm|FOW}} for promoting false claims about them as well. | Technicals would eventually branch out into commentary and rant style videos, with many centered around criticizing other smashers or investigating the cases of smashers embroiled in controversy.
