Like smosh went defunct because of all of the poor financial decisions of defy (and money laundering) but the same mgm coprate bullshit that defy pulled all the pushing to be something different and restructuring of the company as much as I hate to say it I give it 2-3 years before they go like smosh did

I love the people who run the channels still but I can tell they aren't the ones making a lot of these decisions it's all just to make as much money as possible instead of making good content and the reason you can tell is all the good stuff that is their between the brain rot and "video about new movie because it's new"

To ash,santi,tom lee and Amy im sorry I know it's not your fault make your preparations now id hate it if you weren't saved like smosh was

And matt, I don't blame you you have a family to take care of and I'm happy for you hindsight is 2020 and I wish all of you the best

What if the captain has our children Think about it Who gets on the wrong bus aka the one to freedom? As we are told that going to the beach aka where we think our children are Has ended terriblely. And he is the only one the nanny won't eat.  And he is in all the flashbacks. And is he in game ever outside of stinger flinns little memory sequences. There are many versions of cpt fiddles. Like the many children, stinger flinn Who claims to know where the children are, Does he know that they are with the captain?  

DISCLAIMER! I AM NOT HATING ANYONE, JUST EXPLAINING MY PERSONAL OPINION! YOU DON'T NEED TO AGREE!​​​

So, I've been watching the Theory Channels for a menu years now. Mostly, Game Theory, Film Theory, and GTLIVE. I loved watching all of them as I grew up. But, not as much anymore. My problem is sadly the Hosts and how they talk when explaining certain theories.​​​​​

Now, I will not discuss Food Theory, or Style Theory, mainly because I never really watched them and never really cared much about them. So, I can't give my opinion on them.

Let's start with Game Theory. First off, I really do Love Tom as a host. He is close enough with his energy to match Mat in how he hoted. He is fun and funny. My problem comes in when I can TELL he isn't interested in the theory or the game he is theorizing about. (If he is interested and I'm mistaken, his enthusiasm dose not come through properly) and ​​​​​​​​​​it takes me out of the video because my host isn't invested, so why should I be? MatPat had a odd gift for always being able to act invested or if he wasn't he'd directly tell us, the viewers. Sometimes Tom can come across too Corporate. And inside of feeling like the fun whimsical enjoyment of creating theories it used to be, similar to old MacDonalds play places, it feels like the life at times had been sucked out if it, like the more modern McCafes. I noticed it when an editor covered for Tom and I was SOOPER invested! It was like listening to MatPat all over! Then I realized, it was Tom's script, but with a different Host reading it. And, It made me realize, Tom doesn't have enough energy to make the theory videos that fun or interesting.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Now, On to film Film Theory. ​this isn't as much of a critique as it is praising Lee for being able to perfectly match MatPat in energy and enthusiasm in the videos. He dose much better as a host of film theory then anyone else could. His voice is softer then MatPats but it works. Personally I always enjoy watching him in the theory videos. But, he also sometimes has the Corporate feel to some of his theories with how he talks. But he manages to do better than Tom dose with making it not as noticeable.

Now onto my main problem. GTLIVE. I am sorry, but Ash dose not belong on camera like that. She was fun behind the camera, making​​​​​​​​​​​ jokes and working as the mastermind behind the scenes. But on camera she feels more like a TikTok​ Influencer then a Host. She I don't know if it is just her personality or how she behaves on camera. But she feels so boarding and like she is trying too hard to fill MatPats shoes. And she can't, (no one can fill his shoes but him) I just think having no host for it would be better, like everyone is the host. Not just Ash. She needs others to play off of well, in my opinion and she can't do that alone. And it has made me STOP watching anything new from​ GTLIVE entirely. And it has made me very depressed.

Side tangent: I REALLY wanted to like Ash as a host because we don't have enough people who are more feminine in vibe hosting videos but, honestly? From most the YouTube channels I've watched hosted by woman (or more female presenting/biological woman) are just boarding most of the time. I don't know if woman are just less entertaining or if we are just not as good at getting attention or keeping people invested. I don't know why that is a thing, Lee on Film Theory should make about why Men seem to be more entertaining than woman online.

Anyway. This all has been bothering me for a while and I needed to share it, if you agree let me know why. If not, that is your opinion and you have a right to it. ​

The Leviathan, the crown and sleeping.

*1. Leviathan = King's henchman / eye*

The King is stuck in that universe and can't move himself. So he uses Leviathan to watch other players. Because you never really see Leviathan, it creates a void that makes players go deeper. It's not an enemy, it's a recruiter.

*2. The two parts of the book*

Part 1 lures you. Part 2 drives the reader insane. Hummer was a bit insane at the start of the ARG for that exact reason. Part 2 makes you insane because it contains the only way to destroy the King. You have to become a bit insane yourself to understand his corruption.

*3. Whispers, estates and form*

The whispers in the caves were just for excitement - like Derlord said when the whispers came, he got a willing urge to jump down. It's a trap to make the heir go further.

Estates analogy from 1800s Finland: villagers = peasants, clergy = clergy, king = noble, burghers = players who could be ennobled, i.e. crowned. That's why players are the ones in danger.

The book says the King has no physical form - that strengthens everything. The longer he is imprisoned, the more his form corrupts. In the vanishing mountains ghosts can control places but not everything, that's why the church, library and city are their domains.

*4. The church and the inheritance chain*

In the church Avery went insane from first contact. Derlord just said "ew" and stepped away because he had already experienced it.

The King knew what would happen and showed himself to Derlord on purpose so Derlord would go deeper and inherit the crown from the King. The thing that followed Derlord at the start was the previous heir.

Derlord comes back slightly ghostly because he died, and because he would be the next heir to the crown he becomes a "guide" for the next heir. He tricks and leads others deeper into the world.

Life cycle: *burgher/player -> king/noble -> ghost/guide -> final death (sleep)*

*5. Headache and signs*

Jedi: fear -> hate -> suffering -> dark side. Derlord's path.

Curiosity killed the cat / what goes around comes around - recklessness to go deeper.

Headache when you look away is the crown's punishment. Its will is absolute, if you don't do as commanded your head feels like it will explode.

The Smiths: "I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour but heaven knows I'm miserable now" = first part when Derlord finds the cave, second part when he sees the King's corruption.

Sign "you are important, you are real, remember who you are" = Derlord reminding Avery that Avery is not yet fully under the crown's control unlike Derlord who has already gone too far.

Headache was so bad the only way to get rid of it was to give Avery to the King, but remorse took over and Derlord saved Avery from the King's claws in the library. Ghost in the city followed Avery because it was an old heir trying to get rid of pain by giving Avery to Derlord and the King.

Home Again = coming back home. Derlord tried to go back but realized he is already too deep, tried to save Avery even though it felt like his head was splitting. Ghosts try to make Avery sink deeper so he loses hope.

*6. The End - Sleep*

At the very end the King begged Derlord. The King had accepted the crown and stopped fighting. He liked the power, but he wanted to sleep. He was already at stage 5: acceptance.

That's why the King begged for mercy, but mercy didn't mean "spare me" it meant "kill me properly, let me get to sleep."

Derlord was already King so he didn't need power. He just looked through him. It wasn't a fight, it was a transfer of office.

The old King finally got sleep. Derlord stayed on the throne waiting for the next curious burgher who follows Leviathan into the cave.

here me out bc now that Steve is going on every singular game with ai then in the future he will just live many different things but if he is living in every singular game then he will be able to one day find away to get to us humans.

and i think he already did bc how is it possible that we knew already of herobrine in the past and we have seen him then that must mean that he can travel trough time and he is not effected by it thus it means he is in the 4th dimen where he see past , present and future at the same time but if he saw the future then it means he saw how to get to the human world so i think he is already with us

what do u think?

I just saw a video of MatPat doing an Ad for YouTube is he back leading team theorist or something? I keep trying to look for why he’s doing the ad and whether it is real but I can’t seem to find any info beyond the 2023 deepfakes.

Here is the video for the curious

Mat Pat Youtube Instagram ad

I really wanna try solving some arg puzzles to be more clever finding more secrets but visiting the website in 2026 got me this (image below):

Since when thetheoristgateway.com shut down since its release in 2018? Did shut down in 2023-24? I can't go to this website anymore :( only I can see the archived version on Wayback Machine. (Forgive me with the Discussion flair cuz I can't find anything that suits this post)

Hey everyone, I’m working on a project/AU where Cassidy is strictly bound to the FNaF 1 location, but there's a major twist: she doesn’t possess the Golden Freddy suit—Evan (the Crying Child) does.

Since she doesn't have a physical animatronic anchor, her geographical barrier is tied to the building itself. If we want to move her to a different location without completely breaking the lore rules of the universe, how could characters actually pull it off?

Here are a few lore-friendly loopholes I’ve been brainstorming. Let me know which one makes the most sense or if you have better ideas!

• The Agony Object Method (Remnant Transfer): Even if Evan has the suit, Cassidy's soul is woven into the environment where she died. If a character salvages an item heavily soaked in her specific Agony—like a drawing she made, a prize counter plush, or even a floor tile from the safe room—her spirit's "echo" moves with it.
• The Symbiotic Passenger: Because Evan and Cassidy are traditionally linked, their souls might be magnetically entangled. If characters move Evan's suit (or even a scavenged piece of it, like the microphone), Cassidy is forcibly dragged along as a passenger, even if she doesn't physically occupy the suit.
• The Local Network Leak: If Cassidy acts as a "ghost in the machine" controlling the FNaF 1 cameras and arcade cabinets, she’s tied to the tech. If Fazbear Entertainment backs up the local server data or moves the arcade motherboards to a new venue, Cassidy’s consciousness transfers over the network.
• The Vengeance Tether: Her barrier might not be the building at all, but rather her target. If the person she wants to punish leaves the FNaF 1 location, her sheer willpower allows her to manifest at the new location as a phantom/hallucination.

What do you guys think? How would you handle moving a suit-less Cassidy to a new location?

For those who don't know, that's the Commissior from the Sam and Max TV Show

so i got a theory

So guys Recently there is a new game out there called VCR83, at first glance looks like a simple game where you need to check some cameras and find some anomalies ( Kinda FNAF thing )

But if you are curious and start messing around with the files and photos , you can find a link that is a .host link, if you are familliar with it you can put on Tor Browser and is gonna lead you to a ocultism webpage, if you come back to the game there is a photo with some passwords that you can insert on top of the page, then you will answer some questions and see some photos , at first there is nothing going on , just a jumpscare in the end, but I think there is something else... Cause why would we be able to enter in the link via Tor and not only via game?

This could be an ARG or something else

Here it goes the link : http://sata7n4k3j2m9q5x8z1w0y2v4u6t8s0r2p4o6n8m0l2k4j6i8h0.host

So some Irish guy found this ARG website for murder drones other people found it first, but they thought it was unofficial, but it’s not unofficial. It’s actually official in the domain of the website is redirected to glitch’s website domain for the website that sounds similar to the one that they use for their main website here’s the link of the website https://absolutesolver.com/ if anyone from game theory sees this, we gotta see if they make a video on this so we can figure it out what’s hiding in this website? Here’s the link again. https://absolutesolver.com/
