History HilariousInHindsight / ZeroPunctuation

* In his initial review of ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'' he dismissed the game with the comment "A challenge is one thing, but trying to break down a fucking cement wall with your forehead isn't a challenge, it's grounds for getting fucking ''sectioned!"'' Years later, after ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' had gotten him thoroughly onboard with the series' trademark brand of [[NintendoHard "If at first you don't succeed, die, die again"]] difficulty, "breaking down a wall by bashing your head against it" was still the same metaphor he used to describe the gameplay, only [[IDoNotLikeGreenEggsAndHam now he was a big fan of it]]. He has mentioned that fans have asked him to revisit ''Demon's Souls'', but has decided not to (because he didn't want to have to plug his UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 back in). This also became hilarious in hindsight when the game was completely remade for the [=PS5=], leading to him playing it again and reviewing it in 2021. Looks like the entire reason Creator/FromSoftware decided to remake ''Demon's Souls'' was so that Yahtzee would finally give it a ''proper'' review -- and he did.

** He was also gratified to see that the main character in a ''Creator/SquareEnix'' RPG wasn't a skinny emo child for once, something that was not only true in the Japanese version of ''{{VideoGame/NieR}}'' (Yahtzee had played the international version), but also held true for ''Automata'''s deuteragonist 9S.

* He makes a joke in the ''VideoGame/Doom2016'' questioning why the UAC decided specifically to go with hell as a new energy source, asking why humanity doesn't get a heavenly power source instead. As it turns out, putting solar panels by God's radiant beard wouldn't be as ethical as Yahtz thinks; [[VideoGame/DoomEternal the sequel game]] introduces an angelic faction known as the Makyrs... who also get their power from hell.

-->'''Terry''': Hey again. How about [we put in] a dangerous gooey black floor that becomes neutralized by bright lights?"
-->'''Gonad''': Okay again. Now let's make the flashlight incredibly ineffectual against it, and make the floor a one hit kill.

** In the review of its predecessor, Yahtzee imagines himself rewriting the Prequel Trilogy to include scenes of Darth Vader breakdancing. Cue the infamous Galactic Dance-Off levels from ''Kinect Star Wars''.

* The entire video on UsefulNotes/GoogleStadia (and Yahtzee's speculation therein) ended up as either Hilarious or HarsherInHindsight depending on perspective, when Google announced that the service would be shutting down just over two years later.

* One of his Extra Punctuation columns discussed the idea of easily creating a difficulty curve by starting the player off with a lot of powers, and then having them lose them as the game progresses. Seems like the developers behind ''[[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1507109559/project-maiden?ref=thanks Project Maiden]]'' and the ''Lifeline'' DLC for ''VideoGame/StateOfDecay'' were both thinking along those exact lines, as did ''[[https://store.steampowered.com/app/691280/SINNER_Sacrifice_for_Redemption/ SINNER: Sacrifice for Redemption]]'' in 2018.

* When he reviewed ''VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition2'' he called it's creator Creator/Swery65, "like the poor man's Creator/HideoKojima got together with the poor man's Creator/Suda51 and had a very undernourished baby". The two are set to collaborate on ''Hotel Barcelona''.

* While nominating his worst game of 2012, ''VideoGame/{{Amy}}'', Yahtzee speculates that the developers released the game right at the start of the year in the hopes that it would be either forgotten or eclipsed by an even worse game. Come his retrospective of the 2010s, both sentiments came to fruition; his introduction includes the comment "Who the fuck remembers ''Amy'', besides whatever poor twat-hinge invested in it and now presumably makes his Christmas dinner by peeling old lettuce leaves off the sides of compost bins?", and his ranking of the worst games of the decade has ''Amy'' ranked as the 2nd worst of the 2010s behind ''VideoGame/HuntDownTheFreeman''.

* On a personal level, Yahtzee for the longest time was vocal about his intentions to never marry nor have kids, even making his CreditsGag in his review of ''VideoGame/{{Amy}}'' "Fortunately, he will never breed". As of 2020, both of those things have now happened.
