History Awesome / ZeroPunctuation

* The fact that the developers of ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{inFamous}}'' [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/6228-Yahtzees-Prototype-vs-InFamous-Challenge 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.

* His defense of Juliet Starling from ''LollipopChainsaw'' as "comparatively progressive", complete with a TakeThat against the ''TombRaider'' reboot:

-->'''Yahtzee:''' I suppose ''Warfighter'', ahahaha, exasperates because after I declared ''Battlefield 3'' and ''Modern Warfare'' as the twin bollock lords of shit mountain there were dissenting voices dismissing my opinion on the basis that I "just don't like shooters". [[BerserkButton Oh you ignorant little]] ''[[BerserkButton bastards,]]'' stick your balls up your ass and clench yourself castrated. I was into [[{{Painkiller}} shooters]] when you were sucking on Wiimotes, you cover-loving, health-regenerating, murderer-come-latelies. You don't even know what a shooter ''is!'' A shooter is [[MotorMouth fast-paced circle-strafing wits-about-you rocket-jumping last-scrap-of-health]] [[UnusualEuphemism toodly-fuckpies]] organic excitement in a [[NiceHat fancy hat!]] It is ''not'' riding a conveyor belt to the next chest-high wall and resting your head on it until you get lulled into a lovely little sleep by other peope's gunfire!
* In a moment you might not notice, Yahtzee talks about just who he thinks spunkgargleweewee games like Call of Duty: Black Ops II are aimed at. It outlines that Yahtzee is actually a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, despite insulting every relevant demographic he can think of at any given moment.
-->'''Yahtzee:''' People fortunate enough to have been randomly born white in the first world are the most privileged motherfuckers on this unequal fucking planet, and Modern Warfare games are basically those people complaining about how tough life can be when everyone's jealous of you. It's like when white dudes complain about being victims of racism because all of the people they used to enslave are making fun of them. Or when Christians whine about being persecuted because the government wants to recognize that men can be into the cock.

* ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever''.

* Be honest- ''none of us'' expected Yahtzee to be honestly '''excited''' about WatchDogs? Or at least impressed with it, saying that it's a perfect example of how to announce a game- no fucking around with fancy HD trailers, just 10 minutes of straight up gameplay.

* In his dual review of Doom 3 BFG Edition and MedalOfHonor Warfighter ([[RunningGag ha ha ha ha]]), Yahtzee calls out the people who protested at him giving Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 the joint worst-game award by saying he "Doesn't like shooters," getting ''genuinely angry'' at them, which makes it even more awesome.

--> "I was so proud of this moment that I decided to talk about it for the last 30 seconds of an internet video" *Cue credits*

* In XCOM Enemy Unknown, using a heavy to blow a hole in a UFO and then using a sniper to double tap a high level threat alien in the head with no other turns left when they were out of range to help. Described by him as one of his high points of the game.

* In DayZ, managing to fight an entire horde of zombies with nothing but a fire axe and a bolt action rifle [[EpicFail (which him firing attracted the horde in the first place)]] and managing to come out of it alive (albeit barely) certainly counts.

-->Juliet is always in control of the situation, has a healthy, devoted family life, and the developers would never suggest that the player should feel motivated to protect her from rapists - seriously, ''[[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a387062/tomb-raider-rape-attempt-encourages-players-to-protect-lara-croft.html that's pretty fucked.]]''

* Beating GearsOfWar [[FanDumb fan boys]] to the punch by telling them that if he said the plot of GearsOfWar 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 GearsOfWar game?"

-->''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 ReviewsAreTheGospel, ComplainingAboutPeopleNotLikingTheShow, and HePannedItNowHeSucks, the crowning moment coming when Yahtzee responds to a comment [[WhatAnIdiot 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 [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped the game is thirteen years old and has a dozen sequels which have expanded upon it]], and NostalgiaFilter won't turn those who didn't play it when it was new.
