      I love game theory!

      It's amazing, great, wonderful, the best show, amazing, wonderful and did I mention that it's great? Because it is. It slays, slaps, educates, entertains, eats, serves, it is basically all the slang for good. Matpat is a pretty cool dude but he is retiring soon (sadly) I'm sure the show will still be amazing, great, wonderful, the best show, amazing, wonderful and did I mention that it's great? Because it will be. It will slay, slap, educate, entertain, eat, serve and basically all the slang for good. Matpat is cool, he will be missed. Tbh windy31 is kinda better lol lmao bro bruh. (I am so sorry for this)

      It's Only a Theory, a Game Theory. My Theory Is You Will Love It.

      "Game Theory" is a YouTube show created and starring Matthew Patrick (a Diet Coke addicted band geek). The premise of the show is to take scientific principles and apply them to video games. How fast is Sonic? How high can Mario jump? Will FNAF ever end? All these questions and more will be answered (except the FNAF one, come on Scott). This show is Funny, smart, informative and suitable for most ages. Matthew Is a fantastic host and make some very complicated maths a little more accessible and fun.

      I first found "Game Theory" in late 2012 whilst stuck in a lift at work during a power cut. I spent over two hours in that lift and "Game Theory" made a big part of that fly by (I also had a small nap, a paid nap at that). from that point on I was a regular viewer.

      I cant recommend this show enough,

      Jax Blaze.

      Intellectual terrorism

      The sad thing is how young impressionable children watch this slop, believing it to be educational. Thinking the host is a smart person when in reality he is really not, he lies by omission and manipulates his videos to make the "theories" seem as plausible as possible.

      This show REGULARLY spreads misinformation both about the games its covering and the "real world facts" it uses to "back up" those theories.

      The phrase "It's just a theory" is quickly forgotten by rabidly autistic fans of this show who treat MatPat's word as gospel, especially when it comes to "certain games". I think you all know the one I'm talking about, for which online discussion has become very unpleasant due to this show.

      His "theories" are almost ALWAYS wrong, like seriously it's a 90% rate of them being proven and confirmed false time and again, yet people don't seem to notice that pattern. It's infuriating. At least now that he's retired, and the thing the show lived and died on (his charisma) is gone, maybe it can finally die.

      If you wanna watch this garbage as a novelty then sure, but please do not expose your children to this trash as it will deeply confuse their world view.
