« on: December 21, 2012, 05:31:38 PM »
Game Theory is a web show that discusses many things about games, and how they would work in real life: from obscure titles and cult classics to mainstream games, from Power Suits to Crossovers, and so on.

How the heck would I know the difference between semi-automatic and fully-automatic without an OVERHYPED GAME?

Mario 64 taught me that if I ever go into a haunted mansion, don't mess with the piano's red coins.

While I find this funny, this isn't what I meant. I was hoping people would discuss the show.

I love game-theory and gaijin goomba. For youtube webshows they actually teach you things that most people wouldnt think or know about. like the adventure island and Donkey Kong Country episodes. Those two blew my mind :shock:!

I surprised my parents in the 3rd grade when I used the word, "astonished" and you guessed it, Pokemon is to thank for that (and tons of other vocabulary)
