* After ranting about how designing engaging gameplay is often sacrificed in favor of pursuing the (usually unattainable) goal of "realism":
-->''What's so great about reality, anyway? Reality is where you get hangnails and [[TakeThat Roxy Music]].''

* Yahtzee's explanation of [[ObstructiveBureaucrat the inspiration]] for the titular game, with excellent usage of [[StepfordSmiler stock]] [[NightmareFace photos]].
-->''What if they called back while I was in the bathroom? They might need be to refer to my paperwork, and I don't keep any fucking paperwork in the bathroom! [[VerbalBackspace Well, except for one specific kind.]]
* "Incidentally, they did eventually call me back. They told me that the thing they wanted me to call about had already been sorted, and I needn't have bothered. ''[stock photo gradually turns red]'' Whereupon I thanked them, carefully hung up the phone, and set fire to a house."

* "The Story So Far: Yahtzee Croshaw has pledged to develop 12 games in 12 months, in a last-ditch attempt to silence the voices."
* Yahtzee's thoughts on HollywoodHacking:
-->''Yeah, you know what I mean. Willowy, pale, young, conventionally attractive people with brightly colored hairstyles, spouting off dated slang into their radio mics for the benefit of the hero, eyes boggling at screens full of incomprehensible columns of hexadecimal, their fingers rattling inexplicably at a keyboard when you'd think an actual computer expert would touch the mouse now and then--or press the space bar, even. I mean what do they think they're typing, the names of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llanfairpwllgwyngyll Welsh train stations?]]''

* Regarding lockpicking-type minigames:
-->''You want it to be a nice quick spanking of the buttocks to liven up a larger sex act, not having to stop and get out of bed to work on your tax return every ten minutes.''
* Yahtzee has a rule for writing books: write a page a day, no more (to avoid burnout) or less (to avoid losing momentum). He acts this rule out by [[FlippingTheTable flipping his keyboard]].
* "In brief, a creative project is like a tuna fish: it will die if it ever stops swimming. And if it stops swimming and then goes around at parties bragging about this great idea it's totally working on, it will die ''and'' everyone will want to murder it."
