Game Theory's Top 10 Educational Games

[@GameTheory]

One thing educational games didn't teach me...suntan lotion while on vacation. Awkward sunburn is awkward.

[@Onbu_]

I hope you learned your lesson Lobsterman:D

[@choppydell]

Glad I don't have the problem. Good old melanin

[@shamaleon34]

Why do you need a video game to tell you put on suntan?

[@thomasjenkins7506]

shamaleon34 pfft...you mean you don't?

[@Timewarpiaman]

Haven't you played Pokemon? You just apply burn heal!

[@SpaceHamsterGames]

Savage Ferret, my favorite.

[@joeshmoe4321]

Holy shit its space hampster

[@nicholaschen7378]

Which one?

[@gespenstmk-iii111]

Hello, ExtraterrestrialGerbil.

[@HippoPig21_is_awesome]

Natsu Dragneel Yes, Hello AstralGuineaPig.

[@TheMrNovideos]

Well said, Intergalactic Gerbil.

[@Juanter]

Once you go to make Top`s 10, you never go back, that isn´t a rhyme, but is true...

[@Questorium]

JonTron stopped making Top 10's.

[@Juanter]

Questorium *Sshhhhh* It´s a secret ;)

[@saminabox]

Questorium He also stopped making Videos ZING!

[@cortexx9277]

saminabox No he didn't, he quit Gamegrumps (I think) to make more videos.

[@bluemeltedpopsicle]

saminabox That joke is a little dated.

[@XerxesTexasToast]

For a future Game Theory, how about calculating the speed of Kirby's Warp Star? You could use Kirby's height from his Melee trophy description (8 inches) and measure framerates in the classic games. If you REALLY wanted to go in-depth, you could calculate the speed needed to escape Dark Star's explosion at the end of Kirby 64, by calculating Zero Two's size, use E = mc^2 to see how much energy could be stored in Zero's mass, then convert that energy into megatons.

[@adam190102]

Nerd alert

[@hobojam8584]

cant you

[@XerxesTexasToast]

Adam Broad Well, hey, that's what the show's about, isn't it? hobo jam I could if I had the time, but I'd like Game Theory to do it because they'd likely do it better. Plus, they make a living off of it. I was giving them a suggestion (calculate the Warp Star's speed), then backing it up (telling them how they could do it so they have evidence to work with).

[@catemonschannel1572]

XerxesTexasToast he did a theory of kirby I'm from the future

[@JuneauSolace]

Oh man, I can't believe the Jump Start series wasn't on here! Those were some of my favorite games growing up! Like the Dr. Brain series, it quizzed you on a wide assortment of topics like math, history, art, science. But these games tailored it to your respective grade level so you could not only grow with the series, but even get a leg up! Having trouble with third grade math? Pop in Jump Start 3rd Grade. Want to prepare for the next year? Go Jump Start 4th Grade! And similar to the Junior Adventure series, they each featured a unique art style and dare-I-say plot to them that made them enjoyable to fun. I just wish those games were my tests instead of the pen-and-paper standard.

[@wutevaidc]

i really hope these kinds of videos are a one time thing.

[@kyle54312]

Are you being forced to watch it? Is your computer clicking the link for you?

[@wutevaidc]

kyle54312 yes plz send help

[@BananaDoesMC]

wutevaidc He said it wouldn't be.

[@funny_monke6]

It's a co-lab with another youtuber. It's always a one time thing.

[@ImARealDuck]

I have a theory. It's summer, maybe we could just go to the beach.

[@Uatemysoul]

Beaches are lame there is sand everywhere and next to no shade. the water is nice but you never know what is going to bite your big toe or in fresh water give you swimmer's itch. I debunk your theory and replace it with my own that says hammock (with bugnet) in the woods on a mountain somewhere, with a good book, wins.

[@SteveSwipe]

It's just a theory... A summer theory! Thanks for reading!

[@aliasahah2965]

this is offensive to people who don't live near the beach

[@laharl2k]

FUCK YOU! One of my friends was killed by a beach. Beaches should be banned, they are dangerous.

[@PaulThePuppetier]

not on the southern hemisphere.

[@DBZeenX]

I feel like I am in a distant parallel world where Matpat makes top 10 videos instead of game theories.

[@jens1631]

There's TONS of top 10 lists for everything! Personally I hope Matpat goes back to his Game Theory ways. Leave it to Buzzfeed and Alltime 10s

[@Riedymon]

Gosh, just because he makes one list video inbetween doesn't mean he stopped making game theories. He is very much allowed to broaden his horizon and so should you. Always sticking to the old same will leave you behind pretty soon.

[@Slashstar314]

It's almost like a multiverse. The MatPat that makes Top 10's and the MatPat that makes game theories. Back to the Zelda timeline theory so to say.

[@yoshigirl1245]

7:00 You know what else makes geography and world history fun? (And funny, and kind of inappropriate) ZEH AWEZOME PRUSSIA ...and Pastaaaaaaaaaa

[@lexilou4764]

I understood that reference. Germany might get angry, though.

[@RedNK]

BooBooBoo Gostie If I managed to get the joke, I would not care that match about it, right?

[@annchapstick]

You, my good person, deserve a round of applause.

[@lexilou4764]

***** Well, I'm not sure, really. It's from an awesome anime. XP

[@RedNK]

BooBooBoo Gostie What anime?

[@keaton5101]

4:50 The Legend of Bill Science Guy's Mask

[@ThalinsGenohan]

I'm sorry, but I just have to do this: *_BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY_*

[@MurdocsMinion]

Science rules

[@leoryff979]

DID YOU KNOW THAT... I once got an autograph from Bill Nye. And then lost the book he signed within ten years. I didn't get a chance to talk to the guy... NOW YOU KNOW!!!

Carmen Sandiego definitely taught me about countries which I forgot about after one year.

[@goddessstarla]

Would be cool if MatPat did more Top Ten videos! Maybe Matpat's Top Ten Favorite Theories! o:

[@mrprotoman154]

Stick to theory vids if you know what's good for ya...

[@ahotes.]

2:00 Skip the non funny intro :)

[@vonhaniver]

Skip the non intelligent comment :)

[@ahotes.]

Derpy McDerp How was that non intelligent? Its not funny...at all...

[@WarriorMasterTrainer]

***** Is there a way to skip that non intelligent comment, also?

[@frenchmomba6244]

i'm on the non intelligent comment skipped your mom?

[@WarriorMasterTrainer]

French, speak English next time.

[@BigKlingy]

Carmen Sandiago was my childhood. At least the part of it that wasn't Pokemon. Or Age of Empires. Speaking of which, I know it technically doesn't count, but that game probably taught me more history than actual history classes.

[@BigKlingy]

...You do realise I said Pokemon was pretty much my childhood too, right? In fact you'd have a hard time finding a bigger Pokemon fan than me at my school. Come on, you're allowed to like more than one game franchise.

[@LogoFreak93]

On that note, this might sound crazy but Pokemon could be considered a somewhat educational game series if it's not taken too literally. It teaches kids how to care for their pets and their evolution is a metaphor for the pet growing up. Also it teaches kids about the reality of death through Lavender Town, which might be why so many of our generation was afraid of it. But it's only a theory, A GAME THEORY.

[@BigKlingy]

Eh, if Pokemon teaches kids how to care for their pets, it also teaches kids that having their pets fight their friends' pets is okay. So I don't think that part should really be taken seriously. I do think that it is educational on the level that most Pokemon are based off real life animals, which broadens kids knowledge. Seriously, who knew about Sea Angels until they saw Manaphy? Some of the Pokemon also teach basic bilological concepts, like how Slowbro and Shellder are an example of Symbiosis. As for Lavender Town.... ugh, I fing that place overrated, honestly. So many genwunners with "Nostalgia goggles" make it out to be so much darker than it actually is. Sure it's darker than most stuff in RBY, but here's the thing: did any kids even realise? Most of it would have gone over their heads. I know when I was a kid, the only reason I was scared of Lavender Town was the music. I'm sure that's the case for many others of our generation. The point being, if you compare Lavender Town to a game that has the reality of death as an explicit theme (I'm thinking Persona 3 here, anyone who's played it will know what I mean) you'll realise they're very different. Lavender Town is more about showing how bad Team Rocket is, really. Here's my theory: if they really wanted Lavender Town to explicityly be about teaching kids the reality of death, it wouldn't be the Marowak that died. It's be ONE OF THE PLAYER'S POKEMON. That would certainly work, though it'd be pretty harsh.

[@svtvres]

MatPat's sunglass tans though

[@josephkittok7078]

+Lily Bug i was wondering if i was the only one to notice...

[@crzyflowrsan]

I... I can't be the only one who thinks they sound similar right? Like, there's definitely differences between MatPat and BrutalMoose's voices, but certain statements and lack of full attention to voice instead of words is leaves me confused sometimes.

[@JordanCB1998]

That is Matthews real face and that is matts real voice and this is neither a game theory nor a theory this is a Top 10 list

[@IceCallista]

You must be new here because Matt always show his face a lot of times, y'know

[@IceCallista]

You must be new here because Matt always show his face a lot of times, y'know

How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real.

[@heathderandarenterha3333]

I swear this better be a filler for an amazing video that isn't finished yet.

[@angelavanerp2]

it is you idiot

[@heathderandarenterha3333]

Angela van Erp Phew, thanks for clearing that up

[@angelavanerp2]

HeathderandArenter HA-_- he even SAID it you just flipped out over him doing a top 10 and didn't even watch!freaking idiot

[@heathderandarenterha3333]

Angela van Erp Caps rage much.

[@angelavanerp2]

***** fixed 3:

[@Djayaan123]

Assassins creed teaches a lot about history

[@coolfool183]

***** AC III is the revolutionary war. So much for educational.

[@medicalofficermedkip8141]

AC: 3 didn't take place in the Civil War, maybe it wasn't very educational for you after all.

[@wophful]

The purpose of the game wasn't to teach you history it just happened to be there

[@idkanymore3382]

Fucking idiot alert right here. AC sucks

[@roelliesafari9988]

***** can you give a valid argument for that? because i really love the game sure the free running is getting old and the melee is really easy and the ai is stupid but it are good games with good settings

[@KingTaltia]

"...(Carmen Sandiego) was everywhere" EXCEPT IN PRISON! Haha!

[@bookerthepianoist]

the getting-his-name-wrong joke was super forced and hackneyed but I couldn't help but laugh xD

[@gabrielgomesbrito]

I really enjoyed playing The ClueFinders when I was a kid, thought that'd be quite the nice addition to the list

[@kyle54312]

Ahhhh, more people crying at a youtuber trying out some new ideas. If you don't like it, don't view it, it's as simple as that. You are the ones clicking on the link.

[@guyguyington2297]

how could people get their opinion if they did not watch the video?

[@Jigglin_J]

By giving real criticism and not complaining about it's not a thoery video or saying this waste my time. All they have to say is good video but I don't see myself watching this and not THIS AINT A THEORY VIDEO U WAISTED MY TIME WATCHING THIS. It disappoints me that people are complaining about different videos in this channel first people complain with Gaijin what happens if Ronnie makes a video people will start complaining about it. I hope Matt will address this if it gets worse.

[@kyle54312]

mromulo26 This kind of shit happens with any big youtuber that trys to branch out and try new things. It's sad to watch creative freedom die more and more everyday.

[@normietwiceremoved]

I don't mind it! I quite like it

[@TalsetFireSeed]

Where the fuck is Kerbal Space Program? When i was a child I wanted to be an astronaut or atleast an astronomer, but I fell out of love for it because bullshit in life. I found KSP and my love for outerspace and anything related has been revived. Hell it caused me to educate myself on orbital mechanics, history of space travel, and best of all, it pushed me to get better at math.

[@eeveelution8035]

It would have made it if it was game centered around education, but the main priority of it is to allow people to be creative and achieve stuff by doing so.

[@cobrakingtv3146]

Except the game has nothing to do with actual rocket physics at all and is made to make people laugh rather than help people learn about it

[@Iinneus]

1:53 - Math Blaster! For a sec, I thought you were talking about the theme song... Then I remembered that that's "Science Blaster".

[@darhkcave8688]

Ah babypat, I remember when this video came out, love your channel so much

[@ResaChiic]

Aw man! Carmen sandiago only made it to #7? i thought it'd at least be 5

[@HanSolo-kd2tb]

WERE IN THE WORLD IS (deep voice) carmen sandiego!

[@jtmcflea5255]

What did Carmen's mom say when she dropped her waffle on the beach? Where in the world is Carmen's sandy eggo?

[@drawinglikeasir]

I enjoyed GameTheory way more...

[@snowyalice]

I played all the Carmen Sandiego games when I was a kid. Those games were great.

[@williamnoel5541]

This was acctually surprisingly good so continue I wouldn't mind awesome now continue

[@PIKMINROCK1]

What about Age of Empires? Where else could you learn the escapades of Attila the Hun, Gengis Khan, William the Conqueror or Joan of Arc. 

[@powervids20]

Age of empires doesn't target education primarily but it was one of my favorite games along with age of mythology

[@RubenRuizJr]

OMG the Game Theorist is super cute

[@marieelador2250]

Oh good I'm not alone

[@MultiYoshiman]

GTA V should be number 1

[@doublea39]

It teaches killing hookers is okay if you aren't caught by the police

[@joshmo1527]

I think he says it should be number 1 because it shows you exactly what not to do.

[@TheTornado960]

I think he was kidding. I cracked the mystery!

[@MultiYoshiman]

Alec B. BINGO!

[@TNinja0]

Heh. I actually heard that a driver teacher taught his son about traffic rules using a GTA game. By using the street lights, the road aligment. Well, everything. Apparently, it also taught him that bumping into a police car would get the whole army after you.

[@colemcnight]

Love this!!!!! Outstanding video in a string of outstanding videos. I wish I had the money and power to allow atleast three of these videos a week!

[@BraxtonMeyer]

almost 3 mil nice work man

[@Sony_08]

The end is Nye.

[@LimeDoe]

AAAAHH HA HA I GET IT HAHAHA OMG 2 FUNNY! 10/10 WOULD READ AGAIN!

[@AzureSymbiote]

You actually split up a Top 10 list like this into two parts? I get you want to promote brutalmoose's channel but this is ridiculous.

[@oniinu]

It's actually genius. They know you aren't nearly as likely to click on an annotation at the end instead.

[@AzureSymbiote]

Ody -Chan Good thing I didn't then.

[@PowBolim]

not really that he want to promote brutalmoos channel, it's a collaboration that both want to promote each other. For example, i came here from brutalmoose's video... :)

[@InazumaDash]

Your nose is kinda red.

[@MrFraenk11]

it kinda doesnt matter

[@Imwatchingu2andu]

It's when you wear glasses, and then get a sunburn.

[@InazumaDash]

[@MrFraenk11]

TalesOfGamerz yeah he shoulda used baby powder :D

[@stickmymasta]

cocaine

[@BlazeTheMovieFan]

Great list so far I'll check the rest of it now.

[@Blackskycrystal]

Wait- I Was looking up "Game Theory Music" And What turned up: THERE IS A REAL BAND CALLED 'Game Theory' ... Now we know what to buy MatPat For Christmas!

[@altromonte15]

no age of mithology? that game was literally a book about ancient history and religion, and i'm pretty sure the rts was just an excuse to make kids read

[@oniinu]

Mythology* Looks like it failed to teach you how to write its name. It might have been based in that time period, but it in no way means it was accurate, educational, or even informative.

[@altromonte15]

you say tomato, i say potato

[@huynhxuanviet9818]

The Total war series are also really good too, that game just make me want to learn history.

[@TheBAGman17]

It was actually highly educational for mythology. came in real handy when we started on the Iliad in English, I was even further ahead of the other students than usual

[@FNGStudios1]

That gigantic digital lore book was my jam. It was literally my favourite part of the game. BUT AoM wasn't made specifically to be educational, which was the one stipulation on this list.

[@peridotaminouser6843]

anyone watching this 2016 October i still remaber the day it came out

[@sabata2]

Please don't do this again. I know it's cross promotion, but I really don't like having to "go to someone else's channel" just to finish what I was promised on a previous channel.

[@oniinu]

It's actually genius, they know you are far more likely to finish the video than click on an annotation at the end to go to another channel.

[@gazamidori2866]

+Ody-chan you have commented on 10 other videos and all you do is contradict what the original comment says. Them fighten' words and I hope your muscles are as big as your virtual mouth is.

[@jackskellingtonsora]

Plus BrutalMoose is dull. True story.

[@montanaesguerra9862]

Your intro is so awesome!

[@1967sluggy]

[@SillySelah]

Go home, Glenn Beck.

[@iR0dri]

"Hack".

[@master3243]

since when is installing a mod "hacking" a game.

[@Thestorm117]

Truth be told, it would be nice to have a game that does have some realism when it comes to hacking. Granted though you'd get that one person who assumes that this could be used maliciously.

[@Dheyaa100]

Honestly this is the BEST theme song on any show I've ever watched

[@milab9375]

NUMBER MUNCHERS. I LOVED THAT ONE. I played a very updated version though, with funny in-game commercials and 3D shapes

[@JordanWindhamBenford]

I see matpat is buying time so he can finish the real video. You know if you need more time to make videos then try to get more content to fill in the time between your videos.

[@ssj3charizard]

This was the filler content

[@JordanWindhamBenford]

ssj3charizard total filler episode

[@BurningNight314]

No hate towards video, just constructive criticism. When trying something new, maybe start on an more interesting note, I don't think a list of educational games will really impress the audience on this new idea.

[@Jesse-nf9by]

I completely agree! Though it is awesome he has done something new, he could have done something that is at least more enjoyable! Plus, I didn't really like the other guy...

[@doublepoly123]

I agree. If the topic was a bit more interesting maybe people wouldn't be complaining about this video, and i didn't like that i have to go to another channel to finish the video(I didn't finish it). All this is constructive.

[@DMLBluongo44]

What kind of top ten is this if there are two parts...

[@Riedymon]

The one when 2 different type of channels collab and advertise their buddy to their audience.

[@SteveSwipe]

Promote brutal Moose's Channel

[@TheDreamerV2]

I've always loved the Carmen Sandiego games :) (and show, and series, and comics....) glad they made it on the list!

[@AbePacko12ok]

I remember when this channel had ~3000 subscribers. They grow up so fast~

[@Travingel]

dont do this again, being dead serious here. any thumbs up will show you how many people agree on that

[@LumFan]

17 people agree with you. Feel the shame? :P

[@posthumanoid]

[@angelavanerp2]

why?

YES!

[@AceofScares]

Oh god... A wave of remembering playing where in the world is Carmen sandigo just hit me XD. I played that game for hours!

[@winsky1989]

I loved Number Munchers. It was always great when you finished your assignment on the computer early and could choose a game to play or when you could just play a game from the start of class

[@Nojical]

wtf no Jump Start?

[@gil5885]

Exactly! That was my first video game ever omfg the memories tHEY ARE SO STRONG

[@Fugazity]

first game's theory a YAWN so much... EDIT: lol! over 1K dislikes XD

[@GrantNors]

This isn't a game theory just something matpat is trying out!

[@Fugazity]

people who dislike a video for whatever reason aren't idiots, i believe the ones who dislike this one aren't kids in kindergarten, close friends or parents/teachers of kids in kindergarten... On the other hand, people who call idiots to the people who dislike a video...

[@Fugazity]

Over 1K dislike is not whiny bitch hating IMHO, not for Games theory as most videos posted here are awesome... you may not see this because you must still be in kindergarten.

[@Fugazity]

Calm down MrMedium, you can make your point without being arrogant, sarcastic and name calling, so why don't you grow up a little and try to be less of all that and a bit more serious on how to debate your ideas so people take you more seriously.

[@Fugazity]

right, because nobody will take you seriously.

[@JeffSavage]

Educational games? Man has this channel gone to the shitter. What happened to weekly theories? Now a days you might post twice a month. We demand more favorable content and a weekly episode. If I wanted culture, I would visit gg's channel, so quit posting his video on your channel so you don't have to do this weeks episode. You know what I'm talking about.

[@Kreinsamer]

My personal opinion is that Mat's probably running out of ideas, so he puts Culture Shock up very often so that he has more time to think.

[@Chloe_Fatecraft]

why don't you do it yourself? maybe because it takes too long to think about ALL the reviewed content, edit, render, upload, make, read, write, record, speak etc?

[@Kreinsamer]

AoiWalkthroughsBR Good point.

[@WarpPipeGaming]

Demand a weekly episode? How about you try making a decent theory in under a month, let alone a week. Try writing, recording and editing one of these things and having it come out decent. Then come back and make your demand. Jesus, DEMANDS. You want it so badly make it yourself.

[@Max02Games]

The reason he slowed is because he has a full time job before he was unemployed so he had more time to put into the channel.

[@GamerboyAidan]

I love top 10s! and this was a wonderful one hope to see what you do next! I think something like top 10 games that fan boys love!

[@Theredbaron1834]

Dude, no Gizmo's and Gadgets? I thought for sure it would be on the list, after you said it. My #1 favorite learning game. I learned so much from that. Also, thanks for the name Museum Madness. I have been trying to remember that name for years. Need to find it now.

Matt's tan lines from his sunglasses are hilarious XD

[@stuffedlegoguy461]

Great video Mat, I played the crap out of some of these games when I was little. Ahhh, good times, good times.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

Matpat! What happened to the super solvers series from the learning company?! Seriously! "Outnumbered!" and "Gizmos & Gadgets" were some of the best educational games there were!

[@jerome96114]

My favourite Educational Game is the great Archeology game "Knochen, Scherben, Grabbeigaben", that really teaches you much about archeology and history AND still is great fun. Unfortunately it is only available in german, I think ...

[@Flash_of_Green]

I am taking this time to thank you for indulging my love of history and historical events. May the lord bless you and keep you.

[@milkywayrealestate]

I really like the whole chalkboard aesthetic of this video

[@heynotizzy7493]

I saw carmen sandiego in the thumbnail and thats all i needed

[@Amaror2]

I disaggree with this somewhat. All of these are edutainment games, meaning games that were specifically and obviously designed to teach something to someone. What's more interesting in my mind and much much more effective in my experience are games that don't hit you over the head with trying to teach you something, but basically just happen to teach you something while you are having fun playing them. Personally i have learned an incredible amount about geography from Paradox grand strategy games like EU 4 or CK 2 and i doubt i would have spent nearly as much time and learned nearly as much in "Where in the world is Carmen sandiego".

[@FireCalvinMaster]

edutainment.

[@MarkusPresson]

i'd love a top-ten joke names for brutal moose.

[@Chosen5678]

7:29...What?DC Comics published and produce Carmen Sanduego?

[@josephstull7618]

No Gizmos and Gadgets? I used to love those games and they had tons of science in them.

[@jakubvrana6115]

I've been looking for Carmen Sandiego games forever now. Where can you find them?

[@TashiVoices_35]

Try this site called Adventurelegends.net That's where I'm currently downloading all my childhood PC games.

[@Takanuva838]

Carmen SanDiego, i'm 15 and that franchise still teaches me things I have never knew even though it was designed for a much younger audience.

I haven't started the video yet, but I wanted to say one thing. If Donkey Kong Jr Math isn't on here, I will riot.

ALL video games are educational: •Dead Space thought me how to squash spiders with no paper towels around (stomping on them). •Halo taught me that strategy can help in any situation. •Goat simulator taught me how NOT to use physics. •Minecraft taught me to always be prepared in any situation in life and to never waist time. •Skyrim taught me that not knowing where you are gong or not knowing what you are doing caries a heavy price. •Dark souls deeply reminded me to NEVER take life for granted. •Metroid: Fusion taught me that without instructions or guidance you will fail in life. And •online gaming voice chat taught me and trained me to never let other people's words hurt me. The list could go on.

I would like Matpat to make an episode about "can video games cause violence?"
