Well, today we're exploring that multiverse, the timeline where we did a Slenderman episode instead of a FNAF episode.

    This video hit me with so much nostalgia. As soon as I saw that old intro again, I knew I was in for a treat. The editing style, the old font, the old MatPat cutouts, and the mic quality took me all the way back to when I first discovered this channel, even before the FNaF days. I can’t believe it’s been ten years. Also, I love the references to the 2014 sub counts. That’s true dedication to the bit.
    Thank you for this gem, and for all the others over the past 10+ years. I always look forward to seeing what you do next.

    Matpat, i know i cant speak for everyone, but i speak for many when i say i miss the game theory intro. Surely there's gotta be a way for it to have a place in the format still. And maybe if it is for algorithm reasons, instead of an intro, just working that music back into an outro or something would be more viable to keep the Ole algorithm happy without that absolute JAM being excluded. Anything just to have it back as a staple of GT videos again.

    Loved the throwback and dedication to the bit. One thing you could've done with the height measurement would be to look at doors since doors in the US are mostly standardized. Bricks on a wall are just a texture that's been stretched and/or tiled which makes them really unreliable for measurements. If you found a door with a door knob that's (potentially) even better since the average door knob sits at about 3 feet (assuming the door and door knob are part of the same model or one non-stretched and non-tiled texture).

      I think the volume might be wrong altogether. If the video game model height was wrong, I wouldn't be surprised if the volume is wrong as well. That's ignoring the suit adding volume as well. If we are going to base the measurement of height from the child photo, we should base volume from it as well. If we did, we would definitely put him in the slender area. I wouldn't be surprised if he fell into the underweight category.

    This whole episode is very uncanny valley for me in an unnerving way. The editing style is close (not quite as quickly cut as the og ones) and he's either using the same mic or it's being matched to what he had... but Matpat just doesn't talk quite the same. He speaks much more naturally and confidently now than he used to. It's hard for me to describe, but I can just tell this isn't past Matpat, but the quality of the audio doesn't match new Matpat so it's triggering certain "this isn't right" impulses in my brain. It's so weird.

    Alternate universes are such an intriguing idea, and the day that FNAF beat Slenderman is a very fateful one. I wonder what would have changed if Slender was the theory made, or if the imminent FNAF storm still would have arrived regardless.

      FNAF 2 released merely weeks after the slender theory would've released. The storm was inevitable.

    The editing is just spot on, it feels exactly like an early 2013 MatPat video

    Just like one commenter said, the editing, the same sound as the old mic with the pacing and "corny" jokes, this video was such a nostalgia trip to the early GT days!
    This was such a treat. Thanks so much Matt and the Game Theorists team!
