Hi guys! It's been a while, but here I am with another blog! (Yay!)

So I'm a huge fan of this show called Game Theory; it's a show hosted by Matthew Patrick (MatPat, as many call him) that applies science and history to video games to solve their mysteries and determine how logical they are.

As a gamer and an avid watcher of Game Theory, I figured it would make sense to come up with my own hypotheses regarding games. Who knows? One of them may become the next episode of the show!

Relating the Characters of Crash Bandicoot to Real Life Australian Fauna
It's clear to see that most animal characters in the Crash Bandicoot games are very different than in real life. But how different are they? What if there's actually some truth in their appearances and behaviors?

This theory may stem from my laziness-I'd look into this myself, but I don't wanna do all that research-but I think it would be an interesting topic, especially when it comes to Crash himself.

Kingdom Hearts is Just a Small Part of Disney's Dark Side
We all know that KH is fairly dark for Disney's typical fare, but Disney has gotten darker before. How dark has it gotten, and when did it do so? Also, did Disney's Dark Side appear in any of other Disney games?

Since plenty of people have seen many Disney movies, we'd probably recognize some of it's darker moments; however, we have not seen all of Disney's Dark Side. This would be one of those highly in-depth history-based episodes, and it would most likely stray a bit outside of the gaming realm.

A Psychological Analysis of the MySims Series
MySims has a diverse set of characters, and a lot of interesting personalities to along with them. One has to wonder how the MySim Mindset works, and which characters may or may not have mental/neurological disorders.

I don't play a lot of MySims anymore, mainly because they stopped making new games for the series, but there are some characters who would probably be amusing to look at from a psycological standpoint. We could also delve into other personality and cultural elements.

How Rosalina and Porky Could Be One and the Same
Mario and EarthBound have more connections than just Smash; if one looks deep into it, they'll find Rosalina and Porky are quite similar-in fact, they're alternate versions of each other, or at least related somehow.

This stems from my realization that Porky and Rosalina share some physical traits: they both wear blue, and have blond hair that covers their eyes. They're also very complex characters, taking a lot of effort to even comprehend how or why they work they way they do. Ever since I've noticed this, I've always wonder just how similar they actually are. I've always figured that they may be interdimensional incarnations of each other, representing the two possibilities one person could face: the negative and the positive. (Although, my true headcanon is that Rosalina helped free him from the Absolutely Safe Capsule, leading to her becoming Porky's new role model/older sister figure. But now I'm stringing this on for too long.)

The Real Life Basis of Gaming's Greatest Myths
Ever wonder where a lot of rumors and creepypastas regarding games come from? Not all of them are made up; in fact, some actually have some truth that was simply stretched too far. But which ones are (somewhat) accurate, and which ones are complete fiction?

I'm sometimes fascinated by strange rumors and stories, especially if they relate to animation and games. But there are some tales that make me wonder how fictional they actually are. This episode could be considered an expansion of the Polybius episode, since that episode help us realize why the story was fabricated in the first place. That's what I want to know with a lot of other myths: saving Aerith, the Tails Doll, Lavender Town myths, unlockable character rumors...

So, there you have it: the many things I want to learn about gaming in upcoming episodes. "But hey, it's just a theory...A Game Theory!"
