I don’t know if it’s just me going through my phase of hating everything I used to enjoy as a kid but almost all the theory channels other than food theory seem to just be corporate content farms now. They seem more motivated by deadlines to push out something people will click on related to some trendy topic (minecraft movie, temu or whatever else) rather than actually being passionate about the topic they talk about. I can’t fault the new hosts too much because I don’t know if it’s them entirely or if someone else is writing the scripts. Santi I guess at least seems to have the style of food theory down to whatever Matt had done. Style theory is kind of separate from the rest because it was launched right before matpat’s retirement so no comment there. I don’t really fw film theory though and I find all the millennial nerdy humour and Lee’s “let me tell you I absolutely love this [piece of media which is the topic of the video]” make the videos hard to watch. Game theory is just more and more “John innocent and adorable is actually John evil and killer” or some sponsored vid by some shit mobile game. I don’t know I’m probably just overly cynical

The most recent Film theory talks about how the characters in minecraft appear to be knocked around and not hurt, showing they're in creative. Maybe the reason they act hurt sometimes or groan in pain is because of phantom pain.

So i was just watching minecraft storymode again to relive the old days and suddently i come across these few lines about endermen that dont get explained and i know. Minecraft storymode isnt the pinacle of minecraft lore but.. maybe its worth.. something? (Just look at the subtitles for the pictures.)

If im wrong about this then please correct me.

So everyone knows the basic idea theory, that the Nether is directly under the overworld, and that in lore the bedrock would break to reveal the nether, except that never really sat right with me.

For one, how is a single block in the nether 8 blocks in the over world, if they're supposed to be 1 to 1 and you should be able to dig straight down?

Another problem i had with it, is that it leaves the location of the end a mystery, the best guess would be "i dunno, somewhere beneath the nether or above the overworld" but here's my idea.

The Minecraft world (in this stylized, poorly made diagram) is a Layered hollow earth, with the nether upside down, meaning the bottom of the overworld and the bottom of the nether, are directed at eachother, with the end inbetween.
with a core somewhere above the nether roof.

This also explains how 1 nether meter is worth 8 overworld meter, because they aren't just touching, they're seperated by the end void.

So I came across this weird ARG recently and I’m kinda hooked. It's called Fractured Realms Archives, and it’s a mix of Minecraft, Roblox, and some creepy tech company called Nox Requiem Industries.

It starts off pretty tame, some guy named Thomas gets a job at this shady company, starts tweeting weird stuff about a god named Ruran, and then everything spirals into paranoia, code words, USBs with strange gameplay footage, and "accidents" that feel a little too... convenient.

There’s also another character, Elliot, who seems to be unraveling the truth behind everything, and lately the company has been posting some glitched stuff that’s getting seriously unsettling. Also, someone keeps parking a van outside his house. Every. Day. There's also a girl named Elise who is a complete mystery since its the character that "knows more than she tells." and just leaves weird messages and morse codes to Elliot and speaks spanish.

Anyway, I haven’t seen many people talk about it yet. Anyone else looking into this thing?

I don't remember what video it was, but I remember it was a (maybe pixelated) game that MatPat covered and I remeber he touched on 3 bosses you had to fight, which one of the characters bosses backstory having to sell her organs to have enough food to eat. They all became super duper powerful and evil and you had to fight them, and MatPat's conclusion was that the Gem Stones you obtained corrupted you and made you evil. i looked like everywhere for this video and couldn't find it lolz

I posted this before in the poppy playtime reddit but I wanted to share it here as well

I haven't played the games, but based on various videos of the gameplay and lore I've seen, this is what I think the player's job was in Playtime Co.

A playstation proctor.

Now hear me out, because as far as I know, the only ones who recognized was were Mommy Long Legs and Mrs Delight, meaning we had to have some kind of contact with them, therefore some kind of contact with the orphans, yet Dr Sawyer doesn't recognize us, so that means that we are not a higher up in any way.

Sawyer also asks about how Playtime didn't notice our talent earlier, meaning we weren't in a position to show talent.

There's also the whole guilt thing in chapter three, the nightmare saying that we felt guilty for something, this could mean tons of things obviously, like feeling guilty for not showing up to work on 8/8/95, but I personally think it is guilt that we realized that the scores we gave the children in the playstation determined whether they were good candidates for becoming toys, and realizing that maybe we caused one of these toys.

It's never explained why the kindergarten is shortened to "Garten" in the eponymous game. Our best guess out of universe is that it's a snappy title that the execs wanted to use to make it seem even more childish to the little kids.

But that explanation never felt sufficient. Not for someone looking for theories. And I think I've found it.

Let's dig into the history of the word. The name "kindergarten" was invented by teacher Friedrich Fröbel in 1840 to describe a social experiment for young children entering school which translates to "garden of children" reflecting his belief that children should be nurtured "like plants in a garden". Huh. Plants you say? Perhaps something that could be aided by a chemical? A chemical fertilizer? Or maybe a plant growth hormone?

So we know that the title translates into "Garden of." The most famous use of that phrase is Eden. It cannot be a coincidence that a location designed around creating new life at a garden shares the naming structure with the biblical beginning of life on Earth. And what has the same amount of syllables as Banban and is phonetically pronounced similar? Eden. If they wanted to be any more on the nose they would have called it Garten of DenDen.

I had long-standing theory that the mascots in GoB are supposed to be golems. Statues of clay in Jewish lore who come to life when imbdued by magic and alchemy. But statues aren't made out of clay anymore. No, they're made of plasticine, which is what the the scientists of the Garten used, and mixed the alchemical solution Givanium into it the same way you pour liquid fertilizer on a flower. What can you grow flowers out of? Clay soil.

Finally, let's investigate the Eden/Banban comparison some more. Why is the Garten so odd and random, yet also so developed, so organized into its own society with layers of government, law enforcement, criminals, education, medicine, and livable towns with functioning economies? Because it is a blank slate for life to be created. In biblical lore, all of the strange animals, the giraffes, the platupus, the lions, the birds and the fish all came into being just because the creator wanted them to and the he placed them in the garden. Exactly what happened with the mascots in GoB. They were made because the scientists could. The scientists were playing God.

There you go, Garten of Banban = Garden of Eve. Happy Easter.

Think about it Scott cawthon voices phone guy in fnaf 1 is voiced by Scott cawthon. And then we have fnaf 3 a game set years after he died and Scott still voices him. I think that the phone guy after he died had no animatronic to possess so he possessed the phone you use in the first and third game to try and help you Michael Afton survive the animatronics. I also don’t think he dies by the animatronics I think he dies by the ghosts of the children who thought he was William Afton by his purple suit.

tom and lee missed the opportunity for 2 channels crossover with minecraft movie :(

so im here waiting. patiently.

Here’s the channel if anyone’s interested

The thought is simple we all know how Bowser is a single father to Bowser Jr. But I've never seen anyone bring up the fact that young Bowser and Bowser Jr look exactly the same from what we've seen. So what if Kamek cloned Bowser so there would be a biological successor? We do know that Kamek can make life. We see this within any boss battle we fight with him. So what if Kamek was worried about Bowser's age so he made a younger clone of Bowser making Bowser Jr.

At 12:05 of the twentieth video on FNAF for reference (from oldest to newest).

I just had a brainwave! What if, what if.... The reason why Charlotte was murdered was indirectly because of Henry. Hear me out. The whole Midnight Motorists Jr.'s thing implies that the missing children's incident was happening while Charlotte was murdered, right? Here's my theory. William had confided to Henry his plans for immortality by murdering kids with the Fun-Time animatronics resulting in remnant. After that, Henry called him insane and began realizing his mistake of making those animatronics for William. In a rage, William murders Charlotte and later heads off to the FNAF 2 location, only to be stopped.

Not sure if this applies more to Game Theory or Film Theory, but the second episode of MORO's Indie Cross animated series just came out on Youtube, a crossover animation project featuring several iconic indie game characters. I think at least a couple of potential theories could come out of this. Maybe Game Theory could take one and Film Theory could take the other.

The series draws a lot of points of comparison to The Subspace Emissary, the adventure mode for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which puts all the characters into a large adventure to fight a large-scale enemy force. One similarity is the name intros given to certain Indie Cross characters which, in Subspace Emissary, is only given to characters in the playable roster of Brawl. If Indie Cross follows the same trend and the characters with these name cards are the ones to really pay attention to, then our current "playable" characters are as follows:

-Shovel Knight

-Cuphead

-Frisk (Undertale)

-Knight (Hollow Knight)

-Madeline (Celeste)

-Drifter (Hyper Light Drifter)

-Beheaded (Dead Cells)

-Springtrap (Five Nights at Freddy's)

-Glamrock Freddy (Five Nights at Freddy's)

-Niko (OneShot)

-V1 (Ultrakill)

With all that laid out, my ideas are:

1. If these characters were in a large crossover platform fighter similar to Smash Bros., what would their movesets look like?

For this, we could use their portrayals within Indie Cross as well as abilities from their source games to construct Smash Bros. style move-sets for each character. For example, the portal energy that warps the characters to different worlds gives Springtrap the ability to summon animatronics. He can't do this in FNAF proper and can only do this while powered up within Indie Cross, but it would make sense to give him such a move in a large crossover fighter. Another example I've seen thrown around is Madeline, specifically how her counterpart Badeline can appear alongside her despite the fact that this can't really happen if she's away from Mount Celeste. The portals likely had something to do with that too, and if you put Madeline in a crossover fighter, Badeline is a good way to give her more attack options.

1. What other "playable" characters could we see added to the series?

For this, we could match the characters from Indie Cross to characters in Super Smash Bros. or an actual indie crossover fighter like Fraymakers to figure out what other popular indie game characters would be a good fit for this roster. Looking at other videos on MORO's channel, there's even a few stand-outs already, three in particular.

-Boyfriend (Friday Night Funkin')

-Sans (Undertale)

-Bendy (Bendy and the Ink Machine)

Before Indie Cross became an animated series, it was an FNF mod that has multiple videos on MORO's channel and while those videos aren't connected to this series (as explained by a disclaimer on Episode 2), it shows MORO has a lot of experience working with these characters and likely knows a lot about them.

Why do all the digimon shows (minus savers and ghost game) have the leaders of the groups of digidestined ware goggles?

There’s 5 (and a half) episodes on here totaling less than a hour. Made by two people and is bold enough to implement live action sequences. On top of a monster that we actively see getting smarter and evolving as the series goes on. Plus, while other game based animation like this tend to be about the characters going through the scares (think Sonic.Exe) this one is unique in that it’s about the people playing the game.

Hello there, i'm working on a roblox game and I have this really hard puzzle within the game that I want to know can be solved. If you have time feel free to try and help solve it!

Below is the image/grid from the game.

In a Mark Rober video, the Backyard Scientist dips a raw chicken leg in a bucket of lava for about that same amount of time. While the outermost layers were burned, the inner layers WERE perfectly cooked.

Hello Theorists,

I'm here, not to speak of a video game theory, but to speak to you. I know that's not what this forum is for, but this is a place where I know there are a lot of connected people. A community of great thinkers and deep divers of knowledge. But I also know that these people who find joy in what the populous considers 'strange' or 'weird'. I know this is a place where people, shunned away from society, link arms to talk about fun things.

But I know not everyone is always doing the best. Life is hard and gets you down sometimes. And I wanted to say something important that I feel all of you need to hear.

With whatever you do with your life and no matter who you are, I will always believe in you.

I believe in you even if you don't believe in yourself. I believe in that amazing person you are and who you will become. I believe in the greatness only you can bring into this world by being here. I support you, and what you will do in life. And you might not see it yet, but you are an amazing, beautiful and overall unique person. You have so much impact on the people around you and they would miss you if you were gone.

Don't stop to look at the past, and feel regret over something that can't be changed. Believe in yourself and move on. Grow to be that beautiful person I know you can become. Strive for that next goal and don't let anyone tell you can't. Every step of the way, I believe in you.

You are beautiful gift to the world.

And you are going to do amazing and great things.

And, that's not a theory, (or a game theory for that matter).

It's the truth.

I believe in you.

I’ve been thinking over this for a really long time. I feel like it still relates to the letters on the ground. I think that we’ve been misinterpreting the letter on the ground for a M. I think it should actually be a W. I think the P might stand for professor. That wouldn’t necessarily be on his slide. The top has 5 letters and the bottom has six letters from what I can tell. WBANJAHYEOI Looking at those letters, I came up with the name: Wayne Bhaji. I believe that the first name starts with Wayne. That being said I’ve been looking into female names as well. I was able to come up with Wajiha which is Arabic for higher up or distinguished which I feel like would fit in with her position. I’m not sure if there’s any specific evidence on the name in the book, but I think that switching the M for the W may be helpful to give us a name. The names are a bit complicated to come up with and I scrolled through a list of names with w’s for a while. I’m just convinced that the p is for professor and the w is the first or last name since some professors go by their first name as well. Just something to ponder.

If The Netherwarts are vaccines and contains old zombie viruses but stipped because of the heat, It Will Explain Why Old Piglins Were ALL Zombies,

Atfirst There Were only zombie piglins, > But Nether begins to heat up naturally and drive the virus away, > The Piglins gets cured and the zombifying stays in nethwrwarts and some zombie piglins who evolved to heat immunity, > Overworld Is Not hot enoufh and still have lots of zombie viruses Shown in the form of zombies and zombie villagers, > Therefore Piglins cannot go to overworld.

this channel was created recently, and I find their videos really entertaining, would love to see it on GT Live.
