They say that knowledge is power. And Nintendo encourages you to “play with power.” So shouldn’t you be playing…with knowledge? Every week (usually Tuesdays), we separate the fact from the fiction in some of your favorite video games. Learn off-the-wall info while we look in-depth at the designer’s decisions for old, new, and forgotten gems. It’s Mythbusters for gamers!

13x01 The DEADLY Plants Of Genshin Impact

  • 2023-01-03T20:00:00Z15m

Friends, today we’re diving BACK into the world of Genshin Impact. A new update is releasing and along with it comes an entirely new element being added to the game called Dendro. This brings along with it some fascinating scientific discoveries that actually hold up in the real world! So settle in and get ready for a SHOCKING episode.

Loyal Theorists, today we’re diving into Choo Choo Charles, one of the year's most popular indie horror games. Unsurprisingly, there is a TON going on underneath the surface here and Charles has done a great job of sprinkling LORE all throughout the game. I’m here today to present said lore to you… and maybe make a few train puns along the way. So ALL ABOARD the TheoryTrain!!

13x03 Among Us, Red Is SUS!

13x03 Among Us, Red Is SUS!

  • 2023-01-14T20:00:00Z15m

Friends, today I’m calling an EMERGENCY MEETING to answer one of life's most important questions: Is Red SUS?! I know we’ve all pondered these questions as we’ve played round after round of Among Us and no one could come to a definitive answer, but today I will! I’m here to prove once and for all that red is the most sus color in Among Us!

13x04 Who Does Ash MARRY? (Pokemon)

  • 2023-01-21T20:00:00Z15m

Friends, as fans of Pokemon know, the journeys of Ash and Pikachu will shortly be coming to an end. After about 25 years of following them, the torch is being passed on to Riko and Roy, our new protagonists for the Pokemon Anime. HOWEVER… we all know with new protagonists comes the speculation as to how they’re related to the OLD protagonists, and loyal theorists, I think we’ve got this one figured out. MatPat uses “Settle in and Theorize with me!” and it is HIGHLY EFFECTIVE!

Friends, today we’re taking a dive into the dark world of Doors. One of Roblox's most successful horror games, and boy is it RIPE for the picking. There's lore being seeded here that I think will pay off big time for the HOTEL + Update. So come on in and remember, no matter what you do… DON’T open the door.

Friends, today we’re running headfirst into the world of Sonic! It’s been a while since we talked about everyone's favorite blue speed demon but today there is a good reason. The lore from the new Sonic Frontiers game has everyone up in arms, and so we’re here today to figure out the TRUTH behind the Sonic Lore!

13x07 FNAF, The ULTIMATE Timeline

  • 2023-02-11T20:00:00Z15m

Theorists, today is the day! Today we begin unveiling the FNAF timeline that we’ve been working so hard to get done! This is only the first part of what will be multiple episodes but we’ve worked so hard and feel REALLY good about what we’ve got. So today we’re going WAY back before anything we know about the FNAF games. So get yourselves ready for this, because there are some things in here that will change EVERYTHING!

Friends, today I’m back with part 2 of our FNAF timeline, what we’re dubbing “The Afton Era”. This spans most of what we see in the games. I’m excited to finally be diving into the games after spending the last episode having to do a lot of extrapolating from outside sources. You all are going to want to STRAP IN for this one, cause it’s gonna get CRAZY

Loyal Theorists, today we’re BACK with a follow up to our Roblox Doors theory! The Doors developers dropped the BIG Hotel+ update on us RIGHT after our previous theory came out and we played it with our friends on GTLive. But now there's a lot here to confirm what we talked about previously, so today we wanted to take a closer look at one specific character and the role he plays in this universe! So settle in and make sure to keep that door CLOSED!

Loyal Theorists, today is the day we FINALLY take a look at the infamous Tom Nook. The Animal Crossing SCAMMER who overcharges you for EVERYTHING… or does he? Is Tom Nook ACTUALLY A Crook? Well, that's what we’re here to find out today, so you better keep the receipt, because you might have just been scammed.

Loyal Theorists, today we return with part 3 of our FNAF Ultimate Timeline! After covering the rise of William Afton and his descent into madness a few weeks ago today we're moving forward a bit in the timeline, talking about Sister Location to FNAF 6. There is SO much happening in this "Modern Era" of FNAF and I can't wait to share it all with you! So bust out the EXOTIC Butters and settle in!

Loyal Theorists, today we discuss one of the year's most important games. One that FUNDAMENTALLY changed my life, and I know it will change yours… Trombone Champ. The seemingly silly and light rhythm-based game where you wield the MIGHTY trombone and play along to some non-copyright music ACTUALLY is hiding something MUCH darker under the surface. So GRILL up those hot dogs and settle in fellow tromboners, we have MUCH to discuss.

Friends, welcome to the FINAL part of our FNAF Timeline, t's been quite a ride putting this all together! Sure, there may still be some unanswered questions but I truly feel like this timeline solves a lot of questions that we've had for a long time and honestly poses some really interesting new ones. I'm so excited to see where we go next with this franchise and you all know I'll be right here with you pulling my hair out trying to make sense of it! Thank you all for theorizing alongside me!

Friends, today we're putting DRAGONS to the test! Dragons are everyone's favorite mythological creature, from the FIRE breathing to the incredibly intimidating stature, dragons have been the gold standard for most OP sidekicks in a TON of games... but is that actually true? Could they 1v1 a GIANT BEAR? Or A HYDRA? Are dragons really as strong as we think they are? Stick around today to find out!

My fellow theorists, today we’re answering a question you’ve all been asking yourselves EVERY day! Which President would be the BEST gamer? After seeing all these AI videos of the Presidents gaming together it got me thinking.. Would Joe Biden be able to carry his team CS:GO? Would Donald Trump be an S Tier ADC in League Of Legends? These are the important questions that we are here to answer for you! So strap in and cast your votes for who you think is the most EPIC gamer!

13x18 Grandma Is Lying To You!

13x18 Grandma Is Lying To You!

  • 2023-04-29T19:00:00Z15m

Loyal Theorists, today I'm diving BACK into the world of Merge Mansion. Grandma thought she could pull the wool over my eyes but she was sorely mistaken! Our last episodes on Merge Mansion painted Grandma as a cold-blooded killer but with a new update to the game and some new ads being released... I think there is A LOT more here than we initially thought. So grab yourself a healthy slice of pie and settle in.

Friends, today we're diving into the world of Welcome Home! This art collection has been making the rounds recently for how well put together and impressive it is! However, what got me interested is the LORE! This website dedicated to a lost puppet show that supposably aired on TV is hiding SO much more than it seems. So settle in neighbor, and welcome HOME.

Friends, today we're FINALLY doing our theory on Amamda The Adventurer, the full game! We've covered Amanda before but it was WAY back in the demo phase. Now that the FULL game is out there is SO much more to theorize about. Everything from Wooly, to Sam Colton to Hamelin, it ALL needs to be solved... and I know JUST the guy to do it!

Friends, today is STORYTIME! I recently found myself signed up to golf in a PGA Tournament event, which sounds really cool! Except I had NEVER golfed before in my life. I had the choice of backing out and saving myself some embarrassment or leaning into life, and being uncomfortable. I chose the latter, and man am I so proud that I did! So throw those golf carts in park and settle in for my tale of pure embarrassment!

Friends today we're taking a look at one of my all-time FAVORITE series... Assassins Creed. These games had me hooked from the very beginning and with news of a new release promising to go back to those roots, I just can't wait to talk about it. Something always bothered me about these games though, Eagle Vision. The sense that lets you see enemies through walls and track them, what is it? And it is really possible? Well, strap in Loyal Theorists, because I've got your answer!

Loyal Theorists, today I'm tackling one of the most recent FNAF BOMBSHELLS. The recent reveals of The Mimic, The Storyteller, and GGY have set the FNAF community ablaze. What does all this mean? You mean MatPat was RIGHT when he kept saying that the books were important? How does this all tie into Ruin and the larger FNAF story? Well, I'm here to answer all of those questions for you friends. So sit down in front of the HUGE white tiger animatronic... because it's time for a STORY!

Friends, today I'm doing the IMPOSSIBLE, I'm breaking down the Garten Of BanBan LORE. Since this game's release, it's been polarizing, to say the least, but the Euphoric Brothers are starting to pick up some steam with the past few chapters of this game. They've even left us some good ole' juicy LORE to piece together and I plan to do just that. So protect those pancreases, because it's BanBan time.

It’s PIZZA Time, Loyal Theorist! Specifically, Pizza Tower time. Peppino Spaghetti is running around trying to save his Pizza business from a giant flying pizza head! Sure, it’s a small plot for a WarioLand-esque style game, but we promise that the LORE goes deep with Pizza heads, crazy animatronics, and evil clones! Let’s dive into this CLASSIC Game Theory where the hero may have been the villain this whole time.

Hey, WATCH IT! I’m theorizing here! Oops, sorry, Loyal Theorist… just slipped back into my New York accent. And just like every other proud New Yorker, I’ve fought about which of the five NYC boroughs is the BEST. But today we’re bumping up the stakes by asking which borough is the best… during a complete lock down APOCALYPSE?! Well, let’s find out!

Friends, welcome back to the world of Roblox... more specifically, Rainbow Friends. Rainbow Friends just had a chapter 2 added to extend the story, add all new kinds of "friends" and most importantly add some new LORE! We all know, where there be lore, there also be MatPat. So whip out those cardboard boxes and settle in!

13x28 Just Dance Has LORE?!

13x28 Just Dance Has LORE?!

  • 2023-07-08T19:00:00Z15m

Friends, today we're covering one of the most HIGHLY requested games of all time... Just Dance! I had NO idea this game had actual lore in it, but man was I wrong! This thing is FULL of sweet sweet lore, and I'm here today to break it down. So fasten those protective safety straps, and let's DANCE!

Today we're talking about Minecraft Legends, the newest release from Mojang, and some of the sweet juicy lore we've found so far! There's So much in this game that we've put together 3 Minecraft Legends theories for you to ponder today. So whip out those pickaxes and let's get to work!

Friends, Ruin is finally here! The game we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived and you know I just HAD to get one more theory in before it proves me totally wrong! After finally catching up on all of the graphic novels, books, short stories, epilogs, and EVERYTHING else this franchise has to offer, I’ve got one final prediction about where the future of Five Nights At Freddy's is heading. So ALT + F4 out of everything else and settle in for a nice little pre-ruin appetizer.

Friends, today we're taking another look at Ranboo and Generation Loss. We talked about this a while ago but since then there have been some MAJOR developments. From hour long livestreams to new tapes released on the channel. There's a lot to discuss here and I think I've got it all figured out!

Loyal Theorists, welcome to the neighborhood! Today we're taking a look at the sesame street rejects over on My Friendly Neighborhood! I've been waiting for this game since I first played the demo and FINALLY it's here! As with any good horror game, this game comes packed with LORE, so let's figure this thing out together!

Friends, Since Five Nights At Freddy's Ruin came out there have been SO many unanswered questions within the community! Which Security Breach ending is canon? Is that OUR Fredy? What really happened to Cassie? I'm here today with all of those answers and MORE! So get those VANNY masks on so we can all see the TRUTH together!

13x34 Answer The Call (Welcome Home)

  • 2023-08-20T19:00:00Z15m

Friends, I am SO excited to be taking another look into Welcome Home! This project was incredible last we took a look through, and after a HUGE update to the website I can't wait to get in there and dig around and see what we can find! From incredible artwork, intricate website design, and best of all... hidden LORE Welcome Home has the best of ALL worlds! So lets dive in, shall we neighbor?

Loyal Theorists, welcome back to the never-ending grind that is Five Nights at Freddy's! Today we’re back exploring more of the questions that were left unanswered from Ruin. Questions about Cassie, The Mimic, and surprise guest star… Glamrock Bonnie. So settle in friends, because this one is gonna be good!

Friends, today we're taking another look at Poppy Playtime Chapter 3. With the recent release of a new trailer the theorist community has been set ablaze wondering who this new monster is! There are SO many new questions being raised with this new trailer and I think I might have some of the answers here... so throw on those gas masks and whatever you do DON'T fall asleep!

Friends, welcome back to the neighborhood! Last we left off we were going through the Welcome Home website trying to see what we could find from this new update, and boy is there a lot. However, I believe what we’re talking about today is the KEY to all of this, and explains most of what’s going on in this world. So take a seat neighbor, and let’s watch together!

Friends, welcome back to Game Of The Year... Garten of Banban! This game releases new chapters at LIGHTNING speed but we noticed something odd at the end of chapter 4... they skipped chapter 5! They're advertising Chapter 6 already, where is Chapter 5? What happened to it and why are we skipping it? Buckle up friends because the answer is a good one!

Friends, today we're floating our way back into the world of Pokemon! These companions come in ALL shapes and sizes but one specific Pokemon has got my theorist senses tingling! That is Wailord, the HUGE whale Pokemon. Debate around him has raged for a while on whether or not he is actually lighter than air. I know, sounds crazy for a humongous whale Pokemon, but when you take a closer look... it's not really all that crazy.

Friends, Sega has been LYING to you! You know the rings that Sonic picks up and collects so intensely? Have you ever wondered what those are made out of, I think we all would assume their gold right? That they're valuable and worthwhile, otherwise why would he be collecting them. Well buckle up friends because we're gonna figure it out today!

13x42 Why You HATE My Theories (FNAF)

  • 2023-10-14T19:00:00Z15m

Friends, today we need to talk about FNAF. I know that seems like the norm around here but today is a bit different. Things in the Five Nights at Freddy's community have been a bit hostile of late, it's hard to present an opinion, or a theory, without being attacked pretty heavily, and it's not just me thats feeling this. So let's talk about that because I think I know why this is happening.

13x44 Why YouTube Feels Boring

  • 2023-10-31T19:00:00Z15m

Playing Tears of The Kingdom got me all worked up and in a Link mood, right after that I saw The Legend of Zelda movie announcement and lost my mind. The Zelda games have always been a favorite of mine, inspiring some CLASSIC theories about Ocarina of Time and solving the true timeline. We're back today talking about our favorite little green-suited man... Link. This wouldn't be Game Theory if we didn't ask the age-old question... is Link ACTUALLY a hero? Buckle in friends, this one might just change everything.

With the recent release of the Smiling Critters VHS tape and Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 right around the corner, I figured it was good to get everyone on the same page about the timeline of events. From the creation of the Poppy doll to the institution of the Bigger Bodies initiative and the events of the games we've got everything in order for you to go right into Chapter 3 with the most comprehensive understanding of the series possible!
