Game Theory: The Mythbusters of Gaming

Hey Everyone!

I'm new to the Classics community and wanted to introduce you all to my new video game blog, Game Theory, where we separate the fact from the fiction in some of our favorite games. The first three episodes are posted below, as are the links to my channels. I'd love your suggestions for future episodes, so please let me know what you think!

Episode 1: Chrono Trigger/Time Travel


Episode 2: Super Mario/Plumbing


Episode 3: Illusion of Gaia/World Wonders

Pretty neat. Not a fan of the "goofy radio program" thing with sound clips and silliness. That's just me. I'm sure it works with others! Still pretty good.

On Chrono Trigger: I think you missed out on not touching on string theory and alternate timelines considering that's what the sequel Chrono Cross is all about. Also, the biggest fault with time travel in most ways (that time gates and the Epoch MAYBE get around) is that the Earth is in constant motion through the universe. Where the Earth is now and where the Earth physically existed in the year 1200 are two radically different places in space-time. So not only the 4th dimension needs to be breached, but the 3rd dimension must be traversed as well. Just something to think about.

On Mario: If it makes you feel better, Mario was only given that New York background by Americans. :p

Illusion of Gaia: My favorite vid as it is actually educational to people who know nothing of these places. Yes the cute girls help with viewer counts, but I was mostly just listening. Have you played the other games in the series, Soul Blazer and Terranigma?

Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad you brought up that issue about time travel leaving you in a complete different part of space. It was something that I thought was fascinating when I was doing the research and really wanted to discuss in the episode, but had to cut due to time limitations. Still, I really want to revisit the topic one day in an addendum episode, so I'll be sure to include it!

And sadly, no, I have yet to play Soul Blazer or Terranigma, but they've been on my list for some time. I just need to set aside enough time one of these days.

PS Here's the next episode:
Mortal Kombat/Fatalities
