That is a BIG red flag in any kind of survival. So today, Austin is going to try and figure out if humans could SURVIVE with no sun. Let's go!
Theorists, on this channel we have talked about a LOT of Minecraft. Today, Austin is diving even deeper to find out how probable the world of Minecraft actually is. Could this square planet with its diverse biomes ACTUALLY exist in our reality? Let's find out
Theorists, would you ever work in a mortuary? That is EXACTLY what happens in the aptly titled horror game, The Mortuary Assistant. Well, that and trying to stave off demon possession. You know, the usual. Today, Austin is going to explain how a demon may be LESS of a threat to you than your actual job.
Theorists, have you ever noticed how a lot of fantasy included floating cities? From Avatar, Critical Role, and even epic games like Tower of Fantasy - they are EVERYWHERE! So today, Austin is going to figure out if they are even possible! Let's dive in!
Loyal Theorists, could you imagine being so strong that you cause an EARTHQUAKE just by slamming the ground? I can (obviously), and so can Reinhardt from Overwatch. No? You're not buying that I'm that strong? Whatever. Today, Austin is going to explain the science behind Reinhardt's Hammer Down ability and explain how much force it really takes to make it happen.
Friends, today Austin is here to RUIN your favorite video games again and today that game is Minecraft! He’s gonna be PROVING to you that the bees in Minecraft should technically NOT be able to fly! That’s right, the adorable winged friends that "fly" alongside us are not possible! So craft yourself a comfy chair and get ready for some SCIENCE!
Why do we keep getting so many ads for Replika? It's insane, right? The sheer volume of weird memes? Well, fine then, let's dive into precisely how Replika works, as well as cover why it is so many of us seem to be getting so many ads for this app.
I actually happened upon a lot of this information totally by mistake. I didn't really have much to say about The Last of Us that hadn't already been said, but then I found out that the fungal invasion of our world is actually a thing that's already happening. It's really spooky stuff.
I know there isn't necessarily a lot of "science" going on here in the sense of "here's some mathematical facts" but it still felt like it was structured as a SCIENCEy video to me? I dunno, it just felt right, and this is my show and you can't stop me. I had a ton of fun making this video, and I hope you like watching it!
Okay, okay, okay, okay, OKAY, I was wrong, okay? You happy?! ARE YOU HAPPY!? MINECRAFT IS FLAT. HERE'S SOME SCIENCE. Ngl though, this was fun to make. How do you like the little Steve in the thumbnail? He's a cutie pie.
I channeled my inner MatPat/Game Theorist to talk, probably for the last (????) time about Five Nights at Freddy's, Poppy Playtime, Garten of Banban, and mascot horror games in general. Specifically, dipping into the psychological tricks and quirks that make mascot horror games so successful, particularly on YouTube.
I literally thought of this topic the instant I saw this scene in TOTK. I was like "oh there's no way he survives that fall. There's also no way I could do a whole video on just this one scene" and yet here we are.
Writer's block? COULDN'T BE ME. In this video I take a look at the crazy weather that Minecraft SHOULD have given their weird as heck biome system.

Then it took me a month to make. ADHD giveth, ADHD taketh away. This video is going over just how overpowered Minecraft pistons are, which is VERY overpowered.

I got obsessed with Pikasprey's Soft Lock Picking video on Graveler, I quite literally could not get it out of my head. So I made a video going over the math and probability of his vid, it's pretty dope when you get down to it, ending with a classic "enormous number" Check out his video if you have a chance: • Soft Lock Picking: Graveler's Unlikel... Here's the pertinents for those who are interested in taking up my coding challenge to make faster code than I did: Github repo with my bad code: https://github.com/arhourigan/gravele...
