I wonder if MatPat believes his own crackpot clickbait horsepoo

I know you're joking, but he literally uses past theories as "sources" and "proof" (literally his words, not mine) for newer theories.

So he actually does. Not even trying to **** on him when I say that, it's just a fact he vehemently believes his own theories.

 

[redfeatherraven]

I hope someone takes one for the team to actually watch the video tho

Sure, why not.

I'll let you know.

 

[praline]

I thought up a couple more pokemon. Frollusk(Frolic+Mollusk). It's a water type based off a mollusk. Urchanx(Urchin+Phalanx). Water/Steel type based off an Urchin but with a Spartan theme. Bubarble(Bubble+Marble) it's a Diamond type based off a bubble/marble/glass ball.

I don't think he actually believes his own theories, I think it's more a tactic to get more views. Sourcing his previous theories for new videos would get people interested in viewing those old theory videos. The dude is a consultant for Branding and SEO (Search Engine Optimization), he's basically trained in figuring out ways to get people hooked.

This is reminding me an awful lot of "Shulk is a photoshopped Little Mac."

I mean, the rest does sound farfetched but the hair designs are literally identical.
I'd like to see a source of all those threats but it's not like two copied hair models(and some similar looking minor details) is that big of a deal

 

[Metal Shop X]

If this video wasnt from The **** Theorists- i mean Game Theorists I would watch it
View attachment 124561

Yo, his is going to use Mario Party "canon" to try to explain the Paper Mario "canon" to make his theory "correct" like he did in his previous Luigi Theory video?
Or the simple answer his, it's probably ****.
And if this the latter...

MatPat, please stop making ****ty theory that you make in 2 days when you remark that you need to post a video if you don't want to lose your view, please, just stop.

Is that Luigi Millionaire theory based on Luigi's Mansion? Then it would make some sense.

Though not sure that requires a 16 minute video...

He made a video just as long on a theory the game in question Goes 'lol no' in a few sentences

I'm pretty sure they are all rich if anything Luigi is the least rich of them

Mario has his own castle in his own land with a mechanical giant built in his honor

Yes, but he's also known to have a bit of an ego according to convention goers who've met him and such.

So I'm sure he genuinely believes at least some of them.

Not to mention he isn't the only theorist there. Gaijin Goombah is just as bad. >.>

Pretty sure we had a discussion on this before. Gamecube didn't fail because it had more power, it failed partly because Nintendo already had flimsy 3rd party support and still decided to not adopt what was considered the standard back then. It's not like the PS2 being weaker was actually beneficial for it, it just happened to be weaker, and the gamecube just happened to be stronger.

Well, that and the fact that the PS2 had DVD compatibility and the other systems of the day didn't. But Nintendo's legal hands are kind of tied in that situation since Nintendo would have to pay fees to get video disk tech and Sony is one of the owners of it.

Purely anecdotal, but I know my family initially got a PS3 partially because it could play Blu-Rays and asked me why Nintendo systems couldn't play movies too.

Fortunately streaming tech like Netflix has evened the playing field slightly and Nintendo can get that supported on their systems just fine. Granted, 3DS Netflix kind of sucks, but if the Switch is more powerful than Gen 7 consoles that can run it just fine then it shouldn't have to worry about any issues.

You can have a bit of an ego, or even be a straight up ass, and not believe the things you say. But at the same time, maybe he does. But unless any of us is MatPatt, we won't know.

Well, hence why I said they didn't adopt the industry standard. In this case, the DVD was the standard for storage media, and Nintendo decided to go with their own proprietary Mini-discs.

Same issue with the Nintendo 64. Cartridges weren't the standard anymore, yet Nintendo decided to keep using em.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

lol. Wikileaks got into an argument with someone on twitter and doxxed them. Only they doxxed the wrong person. And the guy they wanted to doxx has his information on his twitter. Please tell me I'm not the only person who thinks it's hilarious how stupid that was

And Nintendo is going to go right back to going against the industry standard with the Switch by using their handheld format. Hopefully devs don't get too worked up about that.

Although in one way with the Switch I expect it to be BETTER about meeting the industry standard than Sony, in that the Switch should be able to use ordinary SD cards to upgrade storage space while I remember a Sony handheld forcing you to buy their own specific storage increasing cards.

Yes, and no. Yeah, they're not using discs which is considered the norm for consoles, but cartridges have made a lot of progress since the N64 days. The biggest issue back then was that cartridges were vastly more expensive to disc based media, but nowadays that gap is a lot smaller. Cartridges are still more expensive, but not ridiculously so, which is why Solid State Drives have been growing popular these past couple of years. Couple that with game downloads becoming more popular, and it's really not that big of an issue nowadays.

I'd heard the PS2 was suck a big seller as it was a relatively affordable DVD player. May explain why Microsoft ad Sony went all in with the "Entertainment centre" idea. TVTVTVTVSportsTVSportsSports

Aight, I watched the theory.

TL;DR, Matpat's numbers are weird, it seems Luigi's only got between $50-70 million and is only richer than most of us here will ever be.

Spoiler: Nah brah, I don't have anything to do with my time today, let's read it all.

Base conjecture was using the value of a good delivery gold bar to match up with the in-game gold bars you can acquire, which emulate the good delivery bar. He extrapolated that to find a real-world value for the in-game G, and concluded that there was some $500 million tied up in the mansion itself.

The method seems reasonable enough, but in my opinion the conclusion is not. He seems to have totaled up the value of individual items, but neglected that there's in fact a maximum amount of G you can get in the game - depending on your version, NTSC or PAL, that's either 142,390,000 G or 186,440,000 G. Using the conversion method provided ($36,819 to 100,000 G), you end up with either $52,426,574.10 or $68,645,343.60, respectively.

Thing is, this entire discussion takes place in the last two minutes of the video. The remaining 14 are dedicated to a discussion surrounding what the ghost mansion would be worth - which, as it disappears upon completing the game, seems to be a construct of the Boos and not explicitly a real, physical place, making the whole discussion kind of moot.

He does seem to address the fact that the heights of the Mario Bros and most of the things in the Mushroom Kingdom are subject to Lol Wat Standards and reused a height for Mario that he'd settled on previously (5'1") as the basis of the rest of the distance talk. Extrapolating from Luigi's run cycle to counteract the skewed camera perspective is a clever play, but I'm unsure if it's really the right approach; it would have to assume a lot of things about the kind of run cycle that Luigi is capable of and/or using. I mean I can run at multiple consistent speeds and cross the same distance in multiple times, but I don't know if the mechanics of doing so have some sort of inherent mathematical formula which could then calculate accurate, or even napkin measurements from it.

Much of the calculations are black boxed and much of the talk is probably irrelevant. However, in its defense I learned a few things I intend to research further in terms of architecture. I have projects. No need to talk about them.

Oh, and the title as taken is primarily clickbait. There was no mention of how Uncle Weegeebucks stacks up to anyone else.

So now you know, I suppose.

Man, I really do love watching people **** on SAO, it's just fun. I guess I could also make a hibby out of that.
And I found out the whole Death Gun plot is somehow stupider than it sounds.

No really, to be fair, the quality of his video have been down lately. Tough, I feel like it was inevitable. All creator have a "Dork Age" as I like to said. And he did alot of good video even after Greg was done, so, 'better have it now than at a worse moment I guess. (Tough I do hope he will able to get out of this dork age)

Which youtuber who hates SAO are you watching this time? lol (I'm asking because I'm curious).
For me, I'm not a big fan of SAO myself. I think it does some good things, but overall it leaves me with a ton of conflicted feelings. I liked the original Aincrad arc at first, but that fell out of my good graces. I HATE the Fairy Dance arc, and the Bullet of Bullets arc is an arc I didn't like either. Only reason why I don't hate the show as a whole is that the Mother's Rosario arc is a nice story, is tragically underrated/not talked about, and doesn't have as many episodes as other arcs.

That was way sooner than I expected for some reason.

But I guess it lines up with some recent MKXI rumblings.
