THE SCIENCE!

When the makers of Fall Guys released the picture showing us the interior biology of the Fall Guys, I had the obvious question - what the heck is THAT? After that moment of shock though, my thoughts turned to the other game with mysterious little characters. Yes, I am talking about Among Us. What is inside their suit? IS it a space suit? What ARE they? Today Theorists, Austin is going to figure that out for us!

Control is an experimental journey through not only a new world inhabited by beings called The Hiss, but through the mind of our protagonist. Jesse is the new director of an agency investigating the paranatural happenings in the world. She is chosen, not only for being in the right place at the moment, but because of her history with such events. Today, Austin is diving into the science that may explain exactly what happened to her and how she may have just created her own brother... Yes, you read that right.

Let's talk about Angry Birds. No really! Today, Austin is going to answer a question I bet you didn't even know you had. Can a bird actually EXPLODE a pig, like in the mobile game? Theorists, get ready for a wild ride of an episode as we see if Angry Birds would work in real life!

The Minecraft furnace. So basic that most of us probably never give it a second thought after we craft our first one. Well, Austin is NOT that guy. The Minecraft furnace can craft a plethora of items... but should that be possible? Now I'm not talking about the recipes for the items, but the heat it takes to melt them down. Today Austin is going to find out if the furnace is up to snuff or if the science will burn it to the ground!

In Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! we learn that Monika was made aware of the simulated nature of her reality. This knowledge broke her mind and caused the game that we know and love. Today, Austin wants to dive head first into the simulation and see if the nature in which Monika detects the artificiality of her reality can be used to figure out if WE are in a simulation!

Powerwash Simulator was an unexpected hit. Not that the game isn't fun, it is, but it is also so much more than that. The game is SATISFYING. You know, in that way that your brain kind of zones out and just... enjoys the ride. Why is that? What makes a game, like Powerwash Simulator, so satisfying to play? Today Austin is going to try and answer that question while I go rewatch all of Markiplier's playthrough videos again...

Have you ever seen a Pokemon use a move and think, why did this happen? Well, that was what happened to Austin! Today, he's going to figure out the science of one of Pokemon's weirdest and most deadly moves, Voltorb's self-destruct! Why do something so... self-destructive, instead of something else? Well, it may actually make a lot of sense...

Have you ever wondered how much value is actually contained within a single Minecraft chest? It seems like a pretty simple question. But I can honestly say, after researching this episode, I'll never look at these chests the same.

Throughout the many generations of Pokemon games, we've all come to accept Pokemon storage as a normal part of the game... but is it? We are talking about storing the DNA and learned XP of each individual Pokemon. That's a LOT of data. Today, Austin is diving in to see how much that storage would be... and at what COST?
