-->'''Yahtzee:''' Did you know you can get Marvel superhero branded reusable diapers? If you needed holiday gift giving advice. Perfect for the person in your life who worries that the time they spend rinsing infant diarrhoea out of cloth takes them away from thinking about the Incredible Hulk. I’m not saying superheroes are overexposed, or that top level entertainment media is so perversely fixated on them that you can't even make a Scorsese-inspired gritty character piece unless [[Film/Joker2019 you say it's about the Joker]], or that future civilizations will probably regard the [[Toys/FunkoPop Funko Pop]] industry the same way we regard the extinct Easter Islanders who cut down all their trees to make more stone heads, or that I bet Creator/BenedictCumberbatch [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers insists on kissing with his eyes open]] -- sorry, lost my train of thought there. Anyway, if you’re not quite satisfied with your superhero branded dinnerware and your superhero branded poo bags and your superhero branded gritty character pieces, now you can also enjoy superhero branded ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', in the form of ''Marvel Midnight Suns''. It's not quite as deep or pretty as ''Fire Emblem: Three Houses'', [[DamnedByFaintPraise but maybe if you promise to buy it for your four year old]] [[BrickJoke they'll agree to start shitting in the fucking toilet again]].

* The RunningGag of the episode where every time Robert Pelloni has some big news to announce, the announcement is always met with "[[ButForMeItWasTuesday a resounding 'Okay.']]" At the end, when Pelloni announces that he is cancelling the successful Website/{{Kickstarter}} for the game and refunding the backers, so much time has passed that the reaction is somewhat different:

* Yahtzee noting that after the whole debacle was finished, Robert Pelloni's website is now only filled with nonsensical religious ramblings (i.e., telling people to "Get off the Internet Porn!"). This leads to Yahtzee deducing that at least ''one'' of the lessons of "the saga of 'Bob's Game'" is "Don't be a 'Cadbury's Fruit & Nutcase'" (accompanied by [[VisualPun a picture of said chocolate bar with a cross through it]]).
* The review then ends with Yahtzee delivering the ending {{A|nAesop}}esop over how an artist should never put too much of themselves into a certain artwork: "[I]f you want to be a creative, but refuse to work within the established systems out of fear of compromising your perfect artistic vision, then there's only one thing to be said to you: 'Yes, I would like fries with that.'" Bonus points for how Yahtzee depicts his BurgerFool workplace as being "[=McDonner=] Party" as a CallBack to the ''Ravenous Devils'' review.

* The episode's heartwarming intro transitioning into Yahtzee venting his irritation at the game's [[TheScrappy annoying kid character]].
-->I've got kids now. Yeah, that makes you feel old; yeah, you are put into a constant state of stupefaction by the existence of entropy; can we ''please'' stop banging on about it? "Didn't you once say you'd rather go at your joy department with cheese wire and a sewing machine than have kids, Yahtz?" [[CharacterDevelopment Well, people change!]] Having a kid changes you! It did something to my brain -- I've started seeing babies as ''cute'', rather than overgrown tardigrades with money vacuums on one end and [=McDonald=]'s chocolate milkshake dispensers on the other. I can't even enjoy dead baby jokes anymore 'cause inevitably I picture my own baby, and the imagined grief ultimately outweighs getting to sleep in again.\\

I tell you all of this to add a necessary context to the following statement: the little boy in the ''Plague Tale'' games is a shitbag and I hope he ''dies''. Every time the camera lingers on his glimmering, uncomprehending eyes like the light reflected off two buckets of stale cum, I want to grab his jug ears and twist until his neck cracks like the many party poppers I will subsequently employ. That should immediately bring across the root of my main issue with ''A Plague Tale: Requiem'' (no [[RunningGag dry heave]] anymore, it's a franchise now): that the protagonist's sole driving motivation is to appease a little cockgoblin that any sane person would yeet out the back of the donkey cart at the first bend of a rocky mountain path.

Fortunately San Francisco said 'Oh you poor harrassed journalists, here's some lovely sunny weather to ease your burden' on the first day.
