* How can there be Extra Punctuation if there was Zero Punctuation to start with? It's not extra if it's the first time any punctuation has been added.

***** So you're just being incessantly pedantic then. Liberty Kids was not a huge hit in England, if at all. MSB ''was'', which is why he used it as a point of reference.

***** The "And?" is the part where there was no History in The Magic Schoolbus(AFAIK). I watched 3 seasons of it (back when Discovery Kids in Brazil had programming for kids older than 8) and I don't remember anything of history. There was Chemistry, Ecology, Anatomy, Zoology, Physics... but no History as far as I remember. Unless there's more than one Magic Schoolbus, that's quite the problem.

**** And? It still had historical stuff in there and was a huge hit for British school children. Is it really that much of a shock that someone raised in England would have memories of a TV show that aired in England?

***** I play like that since I had a PS1, and I was like 11. It can't be that hard, if a kid that used to have blisters from playing Mario 3 on the NES can do it!

**** Well, only if freakishly-large hands counts as a super-power. Not everyone has the hand-capacity for that style of holding a controller (likely the same people that derided the XBox's original controller size).

*** Erm... you just described the exact way I hold my controller most of the time: with the pinky and ring finger of each hand, index and middle waiting on the R/L/1/2 triggers when needed. Now you're making me feel I'm super-powered or something.

* Why does Yahtzee hate Sonic Generation's Modern style gameplay when it was basically the same gameplay that he praised in Sonic Colors?
** Wasn't it also the same gameplay he ripped to shreds in Sonic '06?

* After recently re-watching his ''TalesOfMonkeyIsland'' review, I noticed two things that don't make sense. One somes from yahtzee, which I will voice normally, and the other is a mistake from Irish-Yahtzee, which I will voice in a stupid [[TalkLikeAPirate pirate accent]].

** Arr, ye dirt-caked potato enthusiast! Ye be sayin' that the controls in the game require ye ta move our Mighty Flooring Inspector by dragiin 'im about wit the mouse, and that it makes controllin' a 3D character too difficult! Now, while I agree that whichever lubber came up with the mouse controls for movement ought to be hung from their toes over the side of the hull, there be a perfectly suitible ''keyboard'' setup for controllin' movement that works far better than the blasted cursor, ye non-salty cur!

* So in his AssCreed III review, he compares the game constantly shoving historical figures into your face to TheMagicSchoolBus. This comparison....makes no sense at all. Magic School Bus focused pretty much solely on science IIRC, not history. A better example would probably have been something like LibertyKids.

Not a headscratcher; just a random statement.


* In his Pokemon White review, Yahtzee criticized how everyone only stuck to fighting with Pokemon ("Hey, junior! He's fighting you with a fucking puppy! You've still got legs, haven't you?"). Fair enough, when they're fighting to thwart an evil plan. But if it's a random challenge or a gym battle, it's not implied to be a life-or-death situation, but rather a sport. I see it as an equivalent to suggesting that they keep a runner from home plate by bashing him with a pipe wrench.

*** Exactly. It's an uncomfortable and fairly awkward method for something you're going to be doing throughout the entire game. Him making it out like it was impossible to do was a very blatant example of hyperbole, not a literal statement.

**What's difficult about it is that R1 and R2 are both on the right side of the controller, one directly above the other. Meaning that, if you want to target something and then hit it quickly (which you will most of the time), you have to either constantly flick your index finger uncomfortably sideways in its socket or keep both your index finger and middle finger constantly extended so you can hit the target button with one and then quickly hit fire with the other (this has the added difficulty of having to support one side of the controller with only your ring and pinky finger, the two weakest ones and least used and so least capable of handling such sudden exertion). As Yahtzee is fond of saying "It' a great way to end up with a bad case of wanker's cramp."

* So in his '''Darksiders 2''' review he complains about the obnoxious button layout that has R2(or L2) as the "target" button and R1(or L1) as the "magic" button, basically stating it's impossible to do both at the same time. Did I miss anything? Is Yahtzee actually 3-fingered? I liked the caption joke where he mocks his own art style stating that "the average number of fingers in a hand" is "zero", but you actually have at least 2 fingers free to pull the trigger buttons, since the only one you actually use on the controller is your thumbs. What's so hard about it?

* In his DeadSpace review, he makes a joke where the communication problem was easily fixed, but then reveals that he was just thinking of something else. This ShoutOut is too subtle. Does anyone know what he was referencing, if anything?

*** That's not good logic. That's a problem with the fanbase, not the game itself. Granted it spawned the fanbase, but can VideoGame/{{Portal}} really be held accountable for that? It's not like they were trying for this.
**** He didn't hold Portal accountable. He said Portal had become tainted by its fanbase driving the bloody memes into the ground.
*** But, once again, that doesn't affect the game
**** You're being needlessly pedantic. It's obvious he isn't talking about the mechanics of the game, or its coding, or anything physical - he's on about his opinion of the product as a whole, not just its core gameplay. You wanting to pick over the details like this doesn't change how his opinion has been affected by excessive meme spouting idiots championing the game. Hell, the initial Headscratcher is being similarly nitpicky - if you take his comment about perfection literally, why not take everything else the same way? It's obvious he never intended such a comment to be seen as the ultimate truth. Rather, his love for Portal is just demonstrated with some hyperbolic statements.
