Welcome back to our deep dive into the lore and history of Minecraft. Today, we are going all the way to the end...er. The Ender Dragon. We are talking about the Ender Dragon. Have you ever wondered how or why it is there? Why do we have to hunt it to win? Well, it's a lot more of a tragic story than you would guess. Or maybe you've watched the rest of our Minecraft Lost History series and...

Mario and Sonic are classic competitors. When you put them in the Olympic setting, though, it feels pretty obvious who would come out on top right? Wrong! I know, I know. You think a plumber like Mario would automatically lose but that's not true! The Olympics have had some WEIRD events. Events that may just put Mario on top!

A while ago, I made a video about how mobile game ads LIE to us. Well, I think I've found a game that takes that to the EXTREME! Welcome to Evertale. If you've never heard of it, it is a mobile game that is infamous for its completely fabricated ads. These ads tell you NOTHING about the game you are downloading. In fact, they seem to be telling some other kind of dark and twisted story. So...

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD is a stellar addition to the series. But ever since its release, Breath of the Wild has plagued fans with one big question - where does this fit into the Zelda Timeline? Well, after hours of gameplay (followed by even more hours of research), I have solved the puzzle! And Breath of the Wild may reveal more about Nintendo's Zelda timeline than we could ev...

FNAF is back with its first official VR game "Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted". You know what that means Theorists - the story is not over yet! Well, mostly. I think this is the start of a whole new chapter of FNAF lore. The old story had its ending, William Afton trapped in limbo forever. The new story has a new villain, YOU... sort of. What do I mean? Get ready Theorists, F...

When a game like this shows up, you know I have to cover it. Theorists, welcome to OnlyCans. Yes, you read that right. OnlyCans. The game where you take questionable pictures of drink cans. Seems pretty straightforward, right? WRONG! This game is hiding a dark, meaty secret inside its bright and shiny cans. What is it? Only those brave enough to watch will find out...

When you think of Sonic, the first thing that comes to mind is SPEED. This hedgehog is CRAZY FAST. But....is that speed dangerous? Could Sonic's speed ACTUALLY be hurting him? We've already talked about how "fast" he is, and now we are going to see what are the consequences. Today Loyal Theorists, we are going to find out if Sonic's speed is his worst enemy.

Animal Crossing is PEOPLE! No, really! Theorists, this may be one of the most unexpected theories I've put out recently, but once you see it, you will never unsee it. I have gathered TONS of evidence that our player character is only SEEING the villagers of Animal Crossing as animals. They are not, in fact, ACTUAL talking, anthropomorphic animals. Have I said the word animals enough yet? Well...

As a fan of scary indie games, I like to investigate new ones that pop up. So today we are not talking even more FNAF, but making the switch from animatronics to puppets with the game Hello Puppets! This VR game has a lot hiding beneath the surface. Today, I want to discuss the bit twist involving your best puppet friend in the game, Scout. You see, Scout may just be the most dangerous thing for t...

Theorists, it's time to go down another creepy rabbit hole... Welcome to the "canceled" Courage the Cowardly Dog game that seems to be hiding a scary secret. What is hiding in this lost game? I think this is going to be scarier than a Courage the Cowardly dog episode...

Welcome back to the special corner of Game Theory reserved for the cute games that have a deadly darkness hiding just under the surface. Today, we are talking about Andy's Apple Farm. I played this on GTLive on YouTube and knew I had to make a theory. There is some creepy stuff hiding in this game. Get your flashlights ready Loyal Theorists, this is about to get DARK!

Have you played the cat game yet? I'm amazed it took this long, honestly. In the game you play as a cat helping a world of robots fight a consuming threat called the Zurks. By the end - spoilers - you have saved the day. Except... you haven't. Maybe. That's what we are talking about today. Did the cat REALLY save the world? Let's find out!

What if I told you that there is a puzzle in Portal that NO ONE has been able to solve? It's true. I'm talking about the pole puzzle. If you used Portal's endless fall mechanic and put a pole inside - what happens? This had boggled the minds of Reddit users and fans alike. Today, Loyal Theorists, I aim to solve that so-called "impossible" puzzle that not even GLaDOS could sol...
