A LITTLE THEORIZING | Official Game Theory Song!

[@TheStupendium]

The all new Stupendi-Merch collection is live! Do you have a keen eye for a bARGain? stupendiumstore.com/ Be sure to check today's episode of Game Theory where this song features! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXu9lnxviKtjoqs LYRICS: VERSE 1: Boot up your computer, stick a disk in your console’s drive Whatever platform you’re choosing, it’s time to switch on your mind Could be Super Mario, shooters, FNAF or those evenings down in the mines But if you look past all those shiny graphics you’ll be surprised what you’ll find Inside these worlds we love, behind our TV screens There’s so much to discover when you peek between The tiny gaps in the story, science, math and the lore We’ve got all that to explore, plus there’s some decent memes How hard does a headshot blow? How fast does a hedgehog go? Frogger might not last in biology class, but have you tried to dissect a Toad? How creepers get to explode? The secrets buried in code? You’ll never guess what happened to the guests that were left in that restaurant though CHORUS: In every level you beat and each boss battle defeat With each achievement your view becomes a bit more complete And with each twist that unfolds and every mystery you solve We find a new way to see this ball on which we revolve These games have secrets inside and As a team we can find them You’ve a blank page and a clear horizon So why not do a little theorising? I think it’s time we did a little theorising VERSE 2: It’s a whole lotta’ research and the clues keep piling up But you’re not a ScottGames teaser, you’re already bright enough So sit back and grab a diet coke or a can full of human souls And ask if you might survive the jump, chucking nuggets into the hole Build a city in the sky and you might vomit from the motion So you think to try it at the bottom of the ocean Get the physics right or glass will probably be broken Then it’s still more likely than the FNAF box ever opening Carrion flesh, Marionettes Keeping companions fed How old Ash Ketchem gets And we all know that Sans is - Never had I thought of Markiplier getting freaky With a Pokémon made by combining other species Volcanic pressure washing coughing, dogs inside the TV The horror that is Monika and finding she could see me The secret of the bottle flip, the ender dragon obelisks Just why is Zipper’s body zipped? A million other theories You may gain a wealth of knowledge But you aren’t as rich as Luigi CHORUS: In every level you beat and each boss battle defeat With each achievement your view becomes a bit more complete And with each twist that unfolds and every mystery you solve We find a new way to see this ball on which we revolve These games have secrets inside and As a team we can find them You’ve a blank page and a clear horizon So why not do a little theorising? I think it’s time we did a little theorising VERSE 3: But we’re not contained to video games, there’s loads to explore Will you or the food expire first, locked in a grocery store? When navigating a labyrinth, how will you locate the door? And five pro-strats for surviving traps if you were chosen in Saw The cannibalism practiced on the Axiom starship The dragonfly mechanics of some animate cars Impractical dynamics of a family of sharks Or the best hamburger tactics when you’re stacking the parts - if everyone together does a clap and a half We add the decibels we measure then map that on a graph You’d see we don’t need professors here for cracking the answers It’s clever but never forget we’re having a laugh And we’ll do a lot of learning on the way The gears are always churning so just turn another page Whoever said that work should be impervious to play Never learned to peak behind the curtain of the games A curious community is spinning the globe You could join us too, but it’s a slippery slope I’m addicted, so I think I’ll pick theories we wrote Then I’ll wrap them with a bow and give it to the Pope CHORUS: In every level you beat and each boss battle defeat With each achievement your view becomes a bit more complete And with each twist that unfolds and every mystery you solve We find a new way to see this ball on which we revolve These games have secrets inside and As a team we can find them You’ve a blank page and a clear horizon So why not do a little theorising? (But that’s just a theory) (A game theory) I think it’s time we did a little theorising (But that’s just a theory) (A game theory) A little theorising (But that’s just a theory) (A game theory) A little theorising (But that’s just a theory) (A game theory) (But that’s just a theory) (A game theory) (There’s theories all around you) (But that’s just a theory) (A game theory) (The answers might astound you) (But that’s just a theory) (A game theory) I think it’s time we did a little theorising

[@dangernoodledee111]

I thought this was gonna be a much more goofy and meme-y song, but it's actually really meaningful in a lot of ways. Not only is it a beautiful tribute to MatPat and all his work, but it describes why people love the Theory channels so much. They're fun and a little silly at times, but one of their main missions is to encourage curiosity. MatPat started the channel to explore the science of video games because it's a topic he's passionate about. And it's influenced a lot of people to be curious and theorize. This song, while full of memes and references, is about the true heart of Game Theory and why we love MatPat so much. He's curious, kind, and passionate about his interests. Just what the channels encourage us to be. (It's also just a really catchy song in general)

As someone who has watched Game Theory for almost longer than I can remember, who has seen the channel go from one dude in his closet addicted to Diet Coke to a multi-channel network with so many people working together and a truly massive community, this was amazing. All the little references in the video, both in the text and purely the visuals, some so incredibly niche I would never have remembered them on my own but which this unlocked again, just mind blowing. Add on top a song that holds up as an absolute banger even without that pre-knowledge and I can’t even. This will be blasting on repeat for a long, long time. Thank you

[@ThePepsiCat]

Btw if you are looking for the arg look at the second course

[@JudeWasHere17]

As someone who used to hate MatPat for his theories, and despise his ideas Then eventually getting older and realizing that is was… ALL JUST A THEORY And the started to enjoy his videos for what they were, theories and lil jokes And eventually got into FNAF during late 2022, watched every MatPat FNAF theory and started to love him I can confidently say, this video… WAS THE BEST. Haha, funny how I used to think he was annoying. Totally don’t think that anymore

Lol true, Im a new fan but I love to watch the evolution

[@sianevans6455]

I agree had me crying with laughter and happy memory tears

[@jc_art_]

​@@JudeWasHere17i still dont like him because "Thats just a theory" is treated less like a disclaimer and more like a catchphrase, leading many of his audience to simply believe what he suggests without thinking further. While its not necessarily his fault his audience misinterprets his videos, he certainly could be better at disclaiming that everything he says is more opinion than fact.

[@KIngFreg42]

The fact that not only Matpat, but KZbin themselves comment on this immediately says something about The Stupendium

[@CybertrooperOfficial]

Matpat makes sense as this song is official. Still your point remains

[@rotsteinkatze3267]

For the youtube part, Matpat did 5 channels for over a decade.

@levipressnell5250 Stupes said they didn't know, but one of the editors for Theorist did the video, and they definitely did know, and I think Mat confirmed in a GTlive that it was intended to celebrate 10(ish) years since they started the idea in 2021

My heart hurts watching this. I love the song so much but watching the music video and realizing that Matt has truly left his channels (in the public eye, at least), even GTLive...I'm proud of him but it's saddening. That part of my life of seeing that he uploaded a new video is gone. The new hosts are fantastic, but nothing can replace the nostalgia of clicking on a video and hearing him say "hello Internet!". You did a fantastic job with this song, and it's a perfect send off. It's entire emphasis on community kinda makes me smile, because, yeah, we're all theorists. It's a community that Matt built over the years, and one that I'm happy to be a part of. And I know that I'm really late to the party on this comment, but...yeah. Fantastic job, Stupendium

After 6 months of listening to this song, I've realized what makes it so nostalgic to me. There's the obvious fact that MatPat and Team Theorist was a big part of my life, but the other part is that this song has huge KZbin Rewind vibes. Not the last horrible rewinds, but the previous ones (2014-2016?) that everybody loved. A quick musical summary of all the parts of the Theory channels that we know and love, set to an upbeat melody that makes you wish you could rewind and watch Team Theory grow alongside you again. Oustanding work by The Stupendium as always.

I know this is going to be SO LEFT FIELD but this song is one I tend to listen to when I feel absolutely miserable as of late. I know it's about Matpat and the Theorists, but I cannot help but hear the chorus as something like a healing chant of hope related to trauma and recovery. Games, movies and content in general has been the one stable constant in my life, so hearing this song just... Hits differently for me, as well as the first two lines of chorus 2, it's just so emotionally charged. All of this ESPECIALLY with Mat retired for good now. As someone who wonders if it's worth trying to do anything I love, his story is one of hope and encouragement. The chorus just brings so much damn hope for some reason. Thank you for making this and apologies for the wild take but I've slept on it for three months, time I finally said it (and followed on MY account not my wifes)

The first time I listened to this, it came across as a celebration of all those years, all those theories, everything we were raised on. Now, it speaks of the end of an era, lamenting a final goodbye. Looking forward to the inevitable classical piano cover version that brings us all to tears.

Many thanks to everyone who took part in this! This light and pleasant tune reminded me of those very times of such pleasant simple tracks. Damn, I missed such easy motives so much, I even shed tears from the nostalgia for endless theories and the old days. Stupendium and GameTheory gave a small note of nostalgia to me and I think thousands of other people around the globe! So how about a little theorizing?

[@mrsmisfit6042]

Sadly I didn’t find this masterpiece until after watching matpat’s farewell video. It was actually my youngest son who was jamming to it (our whole house loves game theory lol) Me and my husband pulled it up and watched it from the beginning and when I tell you I SOBBED! This song is fantastic! It has so much crammed into it that I keep finding new things every time I see it. It’s a wonderful snippet of game theory and shows exactly what we have all come to love about matpat and this channel. I can’t think of a better way to say goodbye than for us to have this piece of this channel with him that we can all come back to whenever we might feel the need. I’ve since showed my older boys both of who were very upset with me for showing them because it got them right in the feels as well, but that’s what art is supposed to do. Make us feel and this is 100% a work of art! That being said I’ve watched this at least 6 times now and it hits hard Every. Damn. Time… Now if I could just desensitize myself to it enough that I don’t cry when I watch it that would be great 😂 Mat and Steph really owe you a clap and a half for this one!
