History Awesome / GameTheory

* [=MatPat=] calling out news outlets for not only [[PoesLaw falling for a parody video about cooking with NyQuil chicken]], but also not bothering to read the FDA report they're citing (which was warning to a much more serious trend involving an allergy medicine challenge) just so that they could get a cheap shot in on social media and the younger generations.

** Black Widow dying in ''Film/AvengersEndgame''.
** [[Series/GameOfThrones Daenerys]] becoming the Mad Queen.
** [[Franchise/StarWars Palpatine]] creating Rey (technically).

* [=MatPat=] making a theory about why Creator/{{Disney}} is currently dying and going in depth in how they could fix it.

** LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}} being attracted to big cat ladies.

* [=MatPat=] backing out of a Creator/ElectronicArts sponsorship in protest of their {{microtransaction|s}} policies in ''VideoGame/{{Star Wars Battlefront II|2017}}''. He also tells his viewers not to harass [=YouTubers=] who did do EA sponsorships, since many of them were locked into contracts signed before the microtransactions came to light.

* [=MatPat's=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCp4VjZLBk0 response]] to the way [=YouTube=]'s way of handling the Creator/LoganPaul Aoikigahara controversy [[labelnote:Context]] On New Years Day, 2018, Logan Paul uploaded a video detailing his experience in Aoikigahara, the video in question including the body from a recent suicide, which lead to massive backlash. Not helping is that [=YouTube=] acknowledged that said video violated the terms and conditions but didn't do anything about it until ''after'' the backlash. [[/labelnote]]
* In ''What (Else) We Missed'', [=MatPat=] talks about the novels of ''FNAF'' and blurts out how he hasn't even begun to scratch his theory that Charlie is a robot. When the ''The Fourth Closet'' was released, his theory turned out to be correct. And [=MatPat=] figured this out at least one whole novel ahead of time.

* Despite some of his...[[BrokenBase questionable]] thoughts on parts of ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'', the creator has consistently and regularly followed his work. And on his latest one, said it was "very close". Pretty awesome.

* [=MatPat=]’s first ever theory for [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys FNAF]] was that it was about a murderer caught in purgatory and confronted with his victims. This theory turned out to be [[IKnewIt true]] -- for ''Ultimate Custom Night''! Years down the line, his first idea turns out to be correct.

* [=MatPat=]’s first ever FNAF theory, which theorized that the entire game was purgatory for a murderer who murdered at the pizzareia was proven [[IKnewIt true]]....but not with the first FNAF game. FNAF Ultimate Custom night is assumably William Afton in purgatory, forced to fend off animatronics for all eternity.

* Also a CrowningMomentOfFunny, [=MatPat=] correctly stating the [[EleventyZillion absurdly huge number of possible match-ups]] in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''.
