Game Theory - Blog Posts

The grandfather analogy killed me. Heartbroken to see him go, but excited for what’s to come.

Matpat is retiring

And i burst into tears lol! sobbing my mother fucking eyes out. I've literally sobbed the entire video.

I'm wishin' him the best! He deserves it. Matpat is still gonna be makin things but he's takin a BIG big step back. (i see it sort of how scott is still apart of fnaf but he's just not at the helm anymore ? but idk.) There's an arg he's launching in a couple of weeks about Lofi? No clue what that's about taking down these notes as I watch the vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R1_TqU68yo March 9th mark ur calendars theorists! LOVE YOU OLD MAN MATPAT. IDK IF HE EVEN HAS A TUMBLR BUT I AM WISHING HIM THE BEST WITH TEARS IN MY EYES.

(via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pJegu1P_yE)

I am so flipping exciTED FOR THESE TWO YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND! THIS CHILD IS GOING TO HAVE GREAT, SMART, AND LOVING PARENTS. MAT IS PROBABLY GOING TRY TO GET THEM INTO VIDEO GAMES AND THEORIZING LIKE HIM AND STEPH WILL SHARE HER KNOWLEDGE AND LOVE OF BOOKS. I AM JUST OVERLY HAPPY FOR THEM! ❤️

my brain just spat out what is simultaneously the best and worst potential end credit scene for fnaf

a bunch of cops are surveying the inside of the wreckage of freddy's. there's dead bodies. they're taking pictures. chatting amongst themselves. whatever. one guy in a detective style trenchcoat is standing off to the side. his back is to the camera. one of the cops breaks away and approaches the detective guy.

"so, what do you think happened here?"

"i'm not sure."

the entire audience freezes in horror as they realize. they know that voice. the camera pans around to face the guy, and slowly. matpat removes the sunglasses he's wearing indoors.

"but i have a theory."

smash cut to black. the theater collapses, killing me, in the audience, instantly--

Absolutely insane. I thought I’d be sad, but as it turns out, I am incredibly happy for him. I am so happy for him, and the life he has ahead of him.

MatPat hire me

Okay So I saw matpats final theory and-

The fact that went BACK to John Von Neumann (the inventor of game theories)

The RONNIE SHOUTOUT (rip ron you'll never be forgotten)

The #BlameJason

AND THE END OF IT-

SOME FANS SAYING "THAT'S JUST A THEORY" and then THE NEW HOSTS SAYING THEIR SPECIFIC CHANNELS' THEORY

WHERESMATPATS. COM JUST BEING SCOTTGAMES.COM AND HIM ADMITTING IT

AND AT THE END HE 𝗚𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗦 𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘?!?

The whiplash I JUST GOT-

And the moments when he was tearing up. I FEELT SO SAD.

BRO WHEN THOSE LAST 9 THEORIES COME OUT I'LL BE THE FIRST WATCHING THEM BRO I 𝘾𝘼𝙉'𝙏.

OKAY NVM ABOUT MY DEPRESSION WHY AN I JUST NOW FINDING OUT THAT GAME THEORY HAS A SPOTIFY

Why do I feel like none of my moots actually followed back because they liked me and just did t because that's what's expected of them/ were just being nice?

Why do I feel like none of my irl friends like me and are tired of me and my jokes and my constant need for attention?

Do I need help?

Am I just not a good person??

Guess who got into cooking companions…

Goodbye MatPat

This might not be what anything on my blog is about, but I don't have an alt nor want to make an alt to vent on. Neither do I think MatPat will ever see this, but thank you. Thank you so much for everything. You are my chilhood, you are basicly a mentor at this point, you taught me so so so much about the world. Gave me a safe place to be on the internet, after school I would sit down and listen to theories for hours. Forgetting my troubles for even just a moment. I still watch even to this day, getting caught up on the latest FNAF lore or just for a good time. So, just thank you for everything in these 13 years.

I know that you aren't having your final send off until March 9th, but god damn Goodbye Internet has got me balling my eyes out. It really is bitter sweet, with so many Youtubers from my childhood retireing. But I don't want to be bitter about it, I just wish you the best and know that you will be missed. Goodbye

-crossed out thing on the to-do list is call dad. It also has draw new art on it.

-taylor is in ballet- she has ballet shoes under her bed and a trophy on her shelf

-taylor's dad is likely hated, since her dad is crossed out in a family photo on the desk, and it's crossed out on the to-do list

-there are a lot of friend pictures on the bulletin board, the one occurring most is a darker skinned brunette boy (idk what other way to put it I'm not racist 😭😭)

-we might be able to assume that the brunette boy is gregory. Idk why, it would just make sense.

-there's a book on the shelf called "Looking for Alaska(?)" Which came out in 2005. We already assumed this was early 2000s, but now we have a closer date

-there are multiple messages that pop up on Taylor's computer

-message from (idk i couldnt read it)- sorry I've been gone. Parents grounded me after they talked to the principal. Just checked out your piece, great work. But you need to work on eyes

-message from emmynator- I know you were unsure about it but are you sure you don't want to do the next panel???

-message from SSJKev93- yo u on?

-emmynator's message implies that they could've been working on a comic. We know Taylor is in artists because of the "draw new art" and what I assume is some fanart/oc art on the board

-SSJKev93's username implies that he was born in 93. Since this most likely takes place in 2005, the math leads to this person being 13.

-this means that "Kev" (probably Kevin) was apart of the friend group. He is another potential subject for the brunette boy in the photo.

-at the end of the video, either taylor or gregory says "what- what do you want me to do? You want me to-... okay, okay!"

-the person sounds like they're on the verge of crying or very distressed

-there's a shadow figure similar to the drawing of one on the bulletin board that leans in to check on Taylor

-a new theory (not mine) is that Taylor's dad is a potential kidnapper of gregory, and it was taylor speaking at the end, being threatened by her dad at the cost of gregory

I know I repeated a lot and didn't put everything I know. I'll probably post again in a week when I have my notebook again

My current list of Clues for Lorefi:

-Headline of “Local Boy Goes Missing” in trash

-Computer Glitching with a Duck appearing during the glitch afterwards followed by someone controlling it (Traitor Video)

-Family Picture on desk with the Father being crossed out

-Behind picture is a post-it note of someone looking around a door

-Possible Letter in Trash (doesn’t look to be a newspaper headline and unsure of what it says)

-On Desk is a paper that says “The Butterfly Effect”

-On the board are several butterfly cutouts along with a few flowers

-There’s a Letter on the board with the beginning words of “Dear Taylor, Hope you feel better” (Can’t read much of the rest)

-There is also a To Do List with something crossed out (Can’t read it)

-Tickets to Remnant for 7/13 on the board (on the desk in the trailer and have moved to the board)

-A poster for Remnant on wall

-Tapes on the shelf that seem to be of past events (Christmas and Florida Vacation and the ones I’ve been able to read with help of the live chat)

-Description Codes for each video area “KEEP LOOKING” and “THIS IS AN ARG” (each Cap word in the description of each video spells this out)

-Being of Taylor’s Story video Gregory speaks to us and stats he’s a 12 year old boy who lives at 3251 Springlake Drive

I’ve looked up this address and it brings you to a house in San Leandro, CA. I’m going assume that with this evidence that this takes place in California. Looking around the neighborhood seems normal with only a canal nearby the address.

I’ve also seen a lot in the live chat that this is assumed to take place in the 2000s with evidence of the CDs, Gameboy, GameCube Control and much more. One other piece for this is the playlist in Spotify that says “POV: it’s 2002 and you’re totally not stealing music”

Also in GameThory’s most recent Minecraft lore video has some text that shows up. (YouTuber Datchia Lorefi video pointed this out)

This is the most of everything I have/could think of in the moment along with everything I’ve written down. Let me know if there’s anything I’ve missed!!

"goodbye internet"

i will proceed to have a mental breakdown and fall asleep crying

I don't know if you've watched the full goodbye internet video, but if im not mistaken, he said he was making a game and animation series so we still have those to look forward to :)

The Fnaf Movie is MatPat’s last project…

For real tho, I sincerely do wish MatPat the best going forward. I really am gonna miss his iconic presence on YouTube.

I don’t really watch or comment on his recent Fnaf theories, but the Fnaf 1 to Sister Location era of Game Theory videos will always be great memories for me. From Dream Theory, the livestream where Scott kept adding clues on the Fnaf World Website, and many more iconic moments

I just had a thought.

In FNAF Security Breach, Vanessa confronts Freddy in the Utility tunnels. Everyone knows this fact because of all the memes made from it.

But while writing out my Blended with Love au, I was rewatching clips of the actual conversation to get the wording closer to the game dialogue before my au would break away from the canon time line.

But I noticed something in this line.

"Ok, look. We're like fifteen minutes from closing, and some kid is sneaking around backstage. If you see ANYTHING, notify me immediately. I already alerted the others. Now, go back to your room!"

By itself it doesn't seem odd at all until you start to think about when you're first introduced to Vanessa while in Freddy's room.

She's looking around in the main walking area for Gregory. Not in the rooms.

So why would she say "backstage"?

My theory is that this is an activation phrase.

These animatronics are made to entertain children and make their visit memorable. So it's safe to assume that part of their safety protocols is to not harm a child.

The Afton corruption overrides that and puts them into a hunting mode.

But how do they stay safe while there's hundreds of children in the pizzaplex?

That's where the activation phrase comes into play.

The activation phrase would activate a dormant version of the Afton corruption and then it would make the animatronics unsafe for children.

So when Vanessa says "some kid is sneaking around backstage" she's trying to activate the dormant corruption inside Freddy. But it didn't work. Which is also why he also didn't immediately go back to his room when told and why he promises to help Gregory at any cost.

That's my rant for the day.

Peace.

About the pulse room on Inside

I have the theory that this pulse was a first attempt at controlling gravity that failed horribly creating that deadly pulse.

I say this because the pole machines on the pulse room’s background are similar to the pole machines that are keeping the people and the water on the room that appears later on in the game.

Matpat*relaxing*: aahh I’m so glad that I finally retired from YouTube. No more fnaf, no more marvel movies, no more theories driving me insane. Yes sir I think I’m gonna be just fine with this.

Me*muffled*: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT!!!!!

*Breaks down door*

Me*holding axe*🪓: KNOCK KNOCK MOTHERFU—

Well that the end of a king’s rule of his kingdom

Wait

NO

WHAT

MOTHERFU—

the theories family

The Ultra-war

Since most of the community of Fran Bow/Little Misfortune doesn't even know about this major part of the lore, I've gotta try and uncover it for ya :)

The Ultra-war was a pretty big war between the realities. While the war was happening, different kinds of creatures started appearing as byproducts of the war. They were described as parasitic creatures a.k.a parasites.

Now, what I'm gonna talk about is what I think caused the war to start in the first place.

Do you remember when Fran entered Ithersta and turned into a tree because her human body was destroyed? Yeah, it's pretty hard to forget about that... But at that part of the game, so much more happens than that. Because later on when you get carried to Ziar (the tree king, you have to remember him, otherwise you're not a real fran bow fan) he tells you this: "You can't leave now, it would be too dangerous for us".

But why is it? And why now? After this, Fran gets taken by Palontras (that big fluffy flying axolotl, you HAVE to know him, really) he tells you that: "When you traveled to Ithersta, you opened a door between your reality and ours. And with this door opened, unexpected creatures can also enter our reality! ...And if that happens, the balance will be tainted!"

So basically, what he's telling us is that when Fran fell from the bridge, she entered Ithersta by opening a door between the third reality and Ithersta but after she entered the door remained open and because of that, every kind of monsters can enter Ithersta from the third reality whom will obviously cause troubles. Which we even see through out the game! As Palontras fought them and got seriously injured.

Out of Ithersta. In the 4th chapter's second part, after Fran finally arrived to her aunt's house and got Mr. Midnight to get in the window and open the door for her because her aunt was not home, she gets violently pulled into the car by Dr. Deern (Welp, that was a pretty dick move Marcel. Don't you know how to treat a little lady?!) forced to leave her kitty inside the house. After they drive away, even if only for a mere second, but you can see a bunch of Kamalas and Valokas standing next to each other way too close for comfort. That is the beginning of the war, which we had no idea that it was happening until Little Misfortune came out.

Also there was a snail character in Ithersta (who's name I do not know) who were very strongly hinting to the war.

And that's it! I hope I helped you understand a little bit more about Fran Bow. I'll do more theories about Fran Bow/Little Misfortune very soon :)

I agree wholeheartedly! I wish there were different tags for normal Matpat posts and Matpat/neg

I don't want to post this, but everytime i go to the MatPat tag to see nice artworks and stuffs by sort it on new, it's always the hate tags. And it's always that thing.

here's my thoughts and defense, feel free to ignore or block if you disagreeing with me.

MatPat never made a Charity for Autism. If you saw his livestreams, it's mostly St. Jude which is benefits Cancer research hospital.

I remember it vividly at one point he said that he was invited by Mark Rober (science youtuber, sometimes appears on MrBeast videos) along with some creators to be in his charity about Autism, he's the one that makes the charity in honor to his son that have Autism, although due to some poor research Mark accidentally picks the Bad organization, some people on the internet warns Mark and affiliated Youtubers that the organization that they funded is a bad one, creators that active on twitter like Karl Jacobs saw the warning and decided to withdrew and not to support it longer, unlike Matt that rarely checks his Twitter due to massive hate he's getting everytime he post a game theory video.

Because of that charity, creators that affiliated with it were deemed ableist by the internet for supporting the bad organization, including MatPat and MrBeast.

Even though he wasn't the one that made the charity, people still assumed he is just because y'all disagree with his theories. (Y'all need to chill)

Secondly, if your reasons is because of his past theories jokes that he made pre-2014-2016, keep in mind the internet was wildly different back then unlike now. Let's say, the jokes that made in the internet back then can aged poorly.

Friendly reminder: People are allowed to be wrong about things?? Especially when they know they’re wrong

Unpopular opinion: I want him to be wrong more often. I think it’s funny 😊

I think the funniest thing about MatPat hate is that his critics believe him more than most of his fans. Like bestie he's the guy that taught me that English class can be about arguing for a completely incorrect interpretation for fun as long as you have evidence. He rarely claims his theory is the absolute truth, remember his catchphrase? "But hey, that's just a theory!"

I’m so sad :( I wanna go to vidcon to see Matpat and Ash but I have no one to go with :((((

They were supposed to last longer than Mat...

I'm mean, at least Ash hasn't... oh wait...
