This video hit me with so much nostalgia. As soon as I saw that old intro again, I knew I was in for a treat. The editing style, the old font, the old MatPat cutouts, and the mic quality took me all the way back to when I first discovered this channel, even before the FNaF days. I can’t believe it’s been ten years. Also, I love the references to the 2014 sub counts. That’s true dedication to the bit. Thank you for this gem, and for all the others over the past 10+ years.

That opening was such a bop

[@grn1]

Loved the throwback and dedication to the bit. One thing you could've done with the height measurement would be to look at doors since doors in the US are mostly standardized. Bricks on a wall are just a texture that's been stretched and/or tiled which makes them really unreliable for measurements. If you found a door with a door knob that's (potentially) even better since the average door knob sits at about 3 feet (assuming the door and door knob are part of the same model or one non-stretched and non-tiled texture).

[@Pugcam]

[@odyssey_eight]

Matpat, i know i cant speak for everyone, but i speak for many when i say i miss the game theory intro. Surely there's gotta be a way for it to have a place in the format still. And maybe if it is for algorithm reasons, instead of an intro, just working that music back into an outro or something would be more viable to keep the Ole algorithm happy without that absolute JAM being excluded. Anything just to have it back as a staple of GT videos again.

Yoo this video was actually made in 2014, he just never released it

[@just_a_random_student]

yeah i also really missed the intro he put into every vid

i love this guy, he went from making simple theories to being the main character in the slender man movie, also if you guys didnt notice he was named sans in the movie as in sans is ness

[@blease-end-me]

Just realized how long I've gone without hearing the Game Theory Intro. Chills, man. Is there any reason why I haven't heard it in their previous videos lately?

[@Derpmandang10]

They said the algorithm made it so that long intros reduce watch stats.

[@brannanvitek1035]

I know! Such a shame, but I suppose it's bad for retention unfortunately. Style Theory didn't even get a song!

[@Not_Ciel]

@@Derpmandang10 That's dumb. Game Theory intro is a certified classic intro. One of the few KZbin intros you DO NOT skip.

[@Derpmandang10]

@@Not_Ciel bro I'm just telling why Matpat stop doing that, I liked the intros too.

[@EthanMastercrafter]

Geez seeing the old intro to game theory was one thing but having the whole video stylized as a 2014 game theory video was not on my 2023 bingo card, yet words can't describe how happy I was to see it and feel like I was reliving my childhood

[@tobiletsplay]

The Intro got me almost crying

[@rosem43130]

The fact that they had the old intro was an awesome throwback, but they really went the extra mile with the crumpled paper background, font choice, ect. Pretty darn sure Matthew went back in the closet for that audio too XD This was awesome!!!

[@tobiletsplay]

@@rosem43130 yea hahaha😂😂

[@angelnunez5061]

it’s the fact i had to check the date this video was uploaded like 3 times because of the old style of editing😭y’all did an amazing job capturing the old style of videos!!!

[@AudreyArnett-si3ss]

We're gonna miss you, Matpat. You made all our childhoods and we are forever grateful.

[@michaelm240]

The moment MatPat brought up “How slender is Slenderman?”, my brain realized we’d be doing old school pixel measurements and a massive rush of dopamine kicked in

[@NobodyFromNowhere666]

"Is slenderman scientifically slender" is a question why I subscribed to this channel in the first place. Hyperanalyzing lore is wonderful, but nothing beats science-related episodes, even ridiculous ones. I loved this episode and shed a tear. Hope to see more science in the future

[@thecasualgrid3828]

that mic quality is nostalgic and the math and edits are just perfect. Great recreation of classic game theory.

[@olivias1566]

this took me allllllllll the way back like the mic quality the editing style it's like I'm rewatching an old video❤❤❤

[@Broax]

Did matt actually calculate slender man's volume without accounting for how much the suit would increase the apparent volume of the model?

[@The_Speak_EZ]

FR I can safely assume that Slenderman here is anywhere from half to 3/4 the calculated volume.

[@NecroWyvern]

I think the volume might be wrong altogether. If the video game model height was wrong, I wouldn't be surprised if the volume is wrong as well. That's ignoring the suit adding volume as well. If we are going to base the measurement of height from the child photo, we should base volume from it as well. If we did, we would definitely put him in the slender area. I wouldn't be surprised if he fell into the underweight category.

[@beywheelzhater8930]

The best part is, in the og canon, slender happened to have a canonically inconsistent size

[@spiraledserpentine2455]

​@NecroWyvern Not to mention that BMI is very flawed

[@tomatoisjp]

This whole episode is very uncanny valley for me in an unnerving way. The editing style is close (not quite as quickly cut as the og ones) and he's either using the same mic or it's being matched to what he had... but Matpat just doesn't talk quite the same. He speaks much more naturally and confidently now than he used to. It's hard for me to describe, but I can just tell this isn't past Matpat, but the quality of the audio doesn't match new Matpat so it's triggering certain "this isn't right" impulses in my brain. It's so weird.

[@sayansaha155]

Maybe that was intentional?

[@aBornTalent]

Ai ???? 👀

seriously, it’s great. The writing as well is very classic

[@jkrunch2166]

I clicked this expecting a spooky Halloween themed episode. What I got was a funny throwback to the days when I watched Game Theories back at the tail end of college. Crazy to think I'd miss those days... truly, thank you Matpat.

[@jasmineisaac2935]

I almost cried hearing that opening, i didn't expect that nostalgia hit

[@ljs5090]

oh lord have I MISSED that theme song soooo much!!!! Thank you for this wonderful trip down memory lane :)

[@swagdoll420]

Alternate universes are such an intriguing idea, and the day that FNAF beat Slenderman is a very fateful one. I wonder what would have changed if Slender was the theory made, or if the imminent FNAF storm still would have arrived regardless.

[@skittybug6937]

FNAF 2 released merely weeks after the slender theory would've released. The storm was inevitable.
