- His Wolfenstein review, done entirely in limerick form.
- The fact that the developers of Prototype and In Famous both responded to his call to render the other game's lead character in lingerie, which Yahtzee took as proof that he was the secret ruler of the internet.
- The best part was that they both included unicorns and rainbows in their images.
- The contest was also referenced in the Game Pro article for Prototype 2.
- The best part was that they both included unicorns and rainbows in their images.
- Duke Nukem Forever.
- His Extra Punctuation on Roger Ebert's claims of the validity of video games as artwork, in which he gives a respectful, rational and highly intelligent breakdown of the argument that proves to be one of the most sober and thoughtful takes of the issue found anywhere on the internet. Doubles as a Pet the Dog moment.
 |
Art is any created work that provokes strong emotions in you, personally. And trying to impose your feelings on someone else is as pointless and time-consuming as trying to impregnate a dishwasher. |
 |
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl. And the hate mail response to come with it.
- The "Mailbag Showdown" episode was great for its vicious mocking of the concepts of Reviews Are the Gospel, Complaining About People Not Liking the Show, and He Panned It, Now He Sucks, the crowning moment coming when Yahtzee responds to a comment that insists that his reviews are worthless because he doesn't give games numerical scores:
|
Yahtzee: You like numbers? How about FOUR? As in, "FOUR-k you!" (Giant number 4 crushes a personification of the commenter) |
|
- His Ocarina of Time 3DS review had the usual generic Nintendo-bashing, but in a refreshing twist he never explicitly condemned the game but made the point that the game is thirteen years old and has a dozen sequels which have expanded upon it, and Nostalgia Filter won't turn those who didn't play it when it was new.
- Beating Gears of War fan boys to the punch by telling them that if he said the plot of Gears of War was actually good, they'd praise him and repeat, but if he said the plot was crap, they'd be howling at him "what did you expect in a Gears of War game?"
