Why Video Game Movies SUCK!
Game Theory - S5 - E16
Video game movies have historically been TERRIBLE. Yes, there are a few gems in the rough, but by and large, movies BASED ON GAMES fail both critically and with audiences. When your top rated video game movie is rocking a solid F, you know you're in trouble. But WHY?!? Why is making movies based on popular game franchises SO HARD? The reasons may surprise you...
Game Theory: Season 5 - 16 Episode s
5x1 - Super Smash Bros TRAGIC Hidden Lore
January 10, 2015
Wait...Super Smash Bros. has a STORY? Like a plot that runs through all five games? YES! You heard right -- Nintendo's beloved crossover brawler has hidden lore that spans across all five games. It's a story we all can relate to, but it's also one that spells trouble for any future installments in the franchise.
5x2 - The Pokemon Multiverse EXPLAINS EVERYTHING
January 21, 2015
Not too long ago, Nintendo released Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire...games I initially wrote off as shameless HD rereleases. BUT! While the bulk of the story may be the same, there's a bit of post-game content that ROCKS the foundation of the Pokemon world and changes everything we THOUGHT we knew about the franchise!
5x3 - Snake Is a STONER (Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain)
January 27, 2015
We're FINALLY taking on the Metal Gear Solid franchise...but not with a topic you'd expect. Throughout the series, Snake's cigarettes have had time-bending properties. And now, in the newest installment, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Venom Snake's e-Cigar makes time SPEED UP. But how? Well according to the item's description, there's a medicinal herb in there... So what IS Snake's drug of choice? Let's find out...
5x4 - A Tank's Biggest Weakness Is... Is Itself (War Thunder)
February 15, 2015
Gaijin Entertainment, makers of the game War Thunder, flew me out to Texas to try out some authentic WWII tanks. They then CHALLENGED me to compare the in-game tanks with the real things. So, how does their virtual MMO tank warfare game stack up on the battlefield of Game Theory? Time to FIND OUT!
5x5 - Does Isaac DIE?!? Binding of Isaac Rebirth's Endings EXPLAINED
February 22, 2015
It's time to get INDIE! Today I'm taking on the indie game YOU have been requesting the most -- The Binding of Isaac. WHAT DOES THIS GAME MEAN? With 16 endings and all just as obscure as the last, it seems like this game has some deep things to say...but what are those things, exactly? Does Isaac die in the box? Is mom really a psycho religious killer? We're getting ready to analyze this incredibly deep and moving game.
5x6 - Toad's DEADLY Secret (Super Mario Bros)
March 3, 2015
Toad is more than just a mere mushroom. He has a secret...and it explains A LOT of the weird happenings around the so-called Mushroom Kingdom.
5x7 - Are GTA V Cops Racist?
March 12, 2015
Grand Theft Auto V is a superlative game. It is one of THE most popular games of all time. It also happens to be one of the most realistic virtual worlds ever created in a video game. But the franchise is known for being one of the most CONTROVERSIAL. So would Rockstar go so far as to program in RACIAL PROFILING into its AI. Any other game would be an obvious NO,...but here...you might be surprised by what we found.
5x8 - Gamers, You're Getting Played
March 26, 2015
Okay, so first off, it's not a FNAF video...and I know that's going to drive people insane, especially since I use FNAF imagery in both the thumbnail and opening. Truth be told, this video was written BEFORE FNAF3 was released, with me already having my heart set on this as the thumbnail. I personally think it's the strongest way to convey the message of the video -- we are being used as puppets and so what better image to represent that than gaming's most iconic puppet? Anyway, that's the reason there.
5x9 - Rainbow Six Siege gets a REALITY CHECK!
March 30, 2015
Loyal Theorists, I am SO PROUD to present the biggest and most challenging project I've worked on yet...a new series I like to call Reality Check, where each episode takes gamers off the couch and places them in the middle of the real-life situations we play through every day. From aerial dogfights to tactical combat to mining for diamonds, how do the real world equivalents compare to the virtual experiences? That's what Reality Check looks to find out! I think you're going to enjoy it :) Let me know in the comments if you want me to do more Reality Check episodes in the future!
5x10 - Handsome Jack, Monster or Misunderstood?
April 2, 2015
In honor of the Borderlands: Handsome Collection hitting shelves, allowing you to play Borderlands 2, the Pre-Sequel, and all associated DLC, we're analyzing Jack, the STAR of those games, to determine whether he's truly a monster or just a little misunderstood.
5x11 - FNAF Mysteries SOLVED pt. 1
April 26, 2015
You requested it...and requested it and requested it...and it's finally here! With the release of FNAF 3, Game Theory dives into the ENTIRE Five Nights at Freddy's trilogy to answer EVERY major question from these games. What is Golden Freddy? Who is the Phone Guy? What's the deal with the Shadow animatronics? What's the TRUE timeline of the FNAF series? And most importantly of all, who is the Purple Guy? There's a lot to cover, so this is PART 1 with PART 2 a week away!
5x12 - FNAF Mysteries SOLVED Pt 2 (FIRST HALF)
May 6, 2015
So as you can tell, FNAF didn't come out yesterday. The problem is that the day of the upload, I got a copyright strike on the channel. It's all being worked out, but the thing is, when there's a strike on the channel, you can no longer upload videos longer than 15 minutes, which complicates things since the final episode is 18 minutes. But thank you for your patience. I know you guys have been eager for both this theory and its conclusion, and I've been trying my best to get it to you as fast as possible. Hopefully, it was worth the wait [theorist fist] :)
5x13 - FNAF Mysteries SOLVED Pt 2 (SECOND HALF)

5x14 - Why Star Fox has NO LEGS, The REAL Reason!
May 17, 2015
One small detail from the Star Fox series that often gets overlooked is Star Fox's metal legs. Look at any of the original artwork or promotional materials, and you see Fox, Slippy, Falco, and Peppy all with robotic-looking legs and feet, with ankles too narrow for them to just be boots. They're even present in Smash Bros! But WHY?!? The Internet's working theory has been that the lack of legs allows for greater resistance to G-forces the pilots' bodies go through when performing high-energy combat maneuvers...but is that REALLY true? I intend to find out!
5x15 - The Mario Timeline's SHOCKING Reveal
May 28, 2015
Nintendo's star character Mario has been in over 70 games. 70 GAMES!!! Which leads to the question, does the Super Mario series have a discernible timeline? Or are Mario games, like many have been led to believe, a random assortment of games with no attention paid to continuity. While this may ultimately be true, there ARE details in the Super Mario games that allow them to be pieced into a timeline order...and the implications of that are SHOCKING!
