Game Theory Amino Newsletter: Volume 1, Issue 3, 6-28-17

Hey guys! Our third installment is finally here! I( Trashcan ), am back this week to introduce our writers!

Starting us off as usual, Tedrance!

Howdy dowdy doing all my people, how is everyone? Good I hope, if not good already then prepare to be put in a good mood because I'm reporting on GAME THEORY!

Let's begin...

Super Mario Odyssey's GIANT Problem This one is especially cool because we finally get to talk about this game. MatPat, once again, does an exelent job explaining his theory with good evidence. This time he amazing theory is, the people in the game are giant because they eat supersized steroid bananas. You may think I'm joking bug this is te actual reason. When I first saw it I was like *checks watch* "it's not April fool's day", I half expected him to be like jk lolololol the real reason is, Nintendo finds tall people more appealing, but no it's the banana thing.

How to Create a Youtube Trend! Hello internet, and welcome to the GTAN where today, we don't have a theory for you *crowd makes confused sounds* we have a bunch of facts about YouTube's algorithms to teach YOU how to be the next fidget spinner and yes, that's a good thing. This video should literally just be something you are required to watch when you make a YouTube channel because HOLY TEDRANCE TIME this has a lot of really good information that is really good. (I meant to do that) now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go apply these tips to my YouTube channel.

Pokemon: Friends or Victims Dear Game Theory Amino, HI, IT'S ME, TEDRANCE, here to tell you about a guy that completely destroyed pokemon, this is the SCIENCE of pokeballs. In this video Austin, if you couldn't already figure that out, does a topic that everyone has been requesting him to do, pokeballs. This theory is so freaking good, mmm... I love it. Austin and MatPat, you are my Senpai, along with that kid that I run cross country with but that is a real life joke that you guys don't get. Back to pokemon, holy crap! Pokeballs are torture chambers meant to make the pokemon so scared they get Stockholm syndrome and fight for you, uuugh, that is so terrifying, he even had a theory planned out that was much happier than this and then MatPat came in and was like "is it cannon" *classical music stops* this theory, is sin, swear, terrifying, Austin didn't say it in the video for some reason, so I did, sorta.

So, how did you guys like my segment? I hope you liked it I put love into this, that is the secret ingredient to a good newsletter, love. This would normally be he time that the ad starts on the video but because comnunities can't receive ad revenue, there is no ad so, um, I just have to stand here awkwardly until my segment ends, ing the baton to you, film theory people! M'buhbye.

Stepping in for Film Theory once more, Emmi!

Hey!! It's me, Emmi (or Linnea. You can call me Whatever you want to) and I'm writing the film theory section today. It has been really quiet couple of weeks for film theory. I have only to videos to work with but you didn't come here to read my nonsense, let's start!!

Frame by Frame

In this episode of frame by frame Kyle teaches us about a filming technique called blocking and how Back to the Future director Robert Zemeckis used it to make Back to the Future a true movie classic. Blocking means how actors move relation to the camera. Back to the Future uses a lot of visual jokes. Characters movements also tell a whole lot more about the scene. Robert really nailed it when he was directing this movie

Film Theory: Lion King

In this theory Matt asks the question no one has even thought. Can Simba survive and grow with only bugs? First we have to know where Simba lives and eat those bugs and how long. Little bit of evidence and boom! Location: Kenya and Tanzania. Time: 3 years. That was easy. Now we have to know what bugs would Simba have to eat if he wanted to stay alive and how much would he have to eat it. Matt rules out couple of different bug species. The finale result is termites. In Africa there is enough termites for Simba to eat and stay alive. But eating termites for 3 years might have some after effects. Lions need to eat meat and chew on bones if they want to keep their teeth sharp and strong. If Simba would have eaten only termites for 3 years his teeth wouldn't look so good. He probably would have lost at the finale battle with Scar.

Bringing a recap of GTlive, Prodigy!

“‘Sit down, children, do not quail, hopes and dreams will sure prevail, follow us along this trail, let me tell the UnderTale-’ OH WAIT THE GTLIVE SEGMENT!!!”

HEY GUYS! Prodigy Attorney Echo here and welcome to the GTLive segment of the Game Theory Amino Newsletter! So I decided “Ya know what? I’ll do what I know best… good ol’ NINTENDO on GTLive! So, I went and selected the Nintendo Switch livestreams, barring The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I haven't played it yet and I’m not spoiling it for myself.

So unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard of Nintendo. Hate it or love it, but accept that your precious Xbox or PlayStation or AtariBox? ...Really? wouldn't exist without Nintendo. And I’m reviewing the livestreams of the cute multiplayer games MatPat and Steph played on Nintendo’s most recent system, the Nintendo Switch.

First up, we have the basic tech demo game Nintendo has made, 1-2 Switch! Part of the many Nintendo products that were provided from the Big N. Of course, this game, while udderly [pun, not typo] fun for awhile, MatPat just LOVES to make it sound perverted. “You're stroking too hard, Steph!” -MatPat 2K17 Nonetheless, it's all fun and games with this one.

Snipperclips is the next game, and it's a cute multiplayer puzzle solver where you cut pieces out of you and your partner’s characters accordingly to solve puzzles.Their trials and tribulations from this game are hilarious.

Anyway, onto- wait what? They did a Super Bomberman R stream? Uh…

Onto Super Bomberman R! It's a return-to-form of the series after the hell that was the previous Bomberman game. After comparing the main villain’s voice to that of Dr. Ro- Eggman (and not the main protagonist's voice to that of Sonic), off they go through the cute, hilarious, and rage-inducing story mode of Super Bomberman R!

Wait a minute, is that the Smashified Bomberman on the thumbnail?

Never mind, I forgot about the 1-2 Swi- I MEAN Mario Kart 8 Deluxe stream! Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was given by Nintendo representatives at the beginning of the stream, along with a gift basket of sorts. MatPat measured the Mario that was there as 5’11” *ahem* bullshit *ahem* Sorry, got something in my throat. Anyways, so afterwards, they played the game. Also MatPat, you can't base a character’s height off of someone in a costume, okay? Okay.

Yeah, that's it for the streams on Nintendo Switch so far. See you next time on Game Theory Amino Newsletter, I guess. :wave:

One of our only responsible writers, Sofalopha!

Hey guys!

It’s SofaLopha, here to tell you all about our lovely community!

First off, I’d like to point out the logo challenge that is going on.

Trashcan will be accepting pngs without a background, and transparent gifs. This runs until middle of next month, and there are already some really beautiful entries! For more info, you can see the post here!

Next, we have the recent Post How does classic sonic communicate theory. I really like this, not only cause it’s kinda interesting to think about, but also because I wasn’t able to put a name on the weird face my cat would make. Flehmen Flehmen Flehmen. I have to that!

Oh! And before I go…
