01/08/21 • 33 min

GRAB YOUR CONTROLLERS! 🎮 It's time for the pilot episode of our highly anticipated podcast called The Video Game Conspiracy Network! If you watched our teaser, you're in for a treat!

In tonight's episode, we will be discussing a rather very dark video game theory in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You may think it's just a game where you start a new life on a deserted island... but what if we told you that it's actually a purgatory where you're not allowed to leave. We dive deep into this theory and apply it to real life.

Excerpt from the source:
"In the Animal Crossing games, you, the player character, are actually dead. You are "driven" to purgatory by car or train, depending on the game. Now, many people regard purgatory as a place of punishment, but many others understand it as a sort of "waiting room" a soul stays in before entering Heaven. It is the second interpretation that your character resides in."

GRAB YOUR CONTROLLERS! 🎮 Welcome back to another week of game theory!

We would first like to congratulate our 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden, and VP Kamala Harris! This past Wednesday, they were both sworn into office.

In tonight's episode, we will be discussing a theory based on our favorite pastime video game, Smash Bros Ultimate! We have to warn you this theory is shocking. We dive deep into the confirmed theory that Smash Bros are nothing but toys.

Excerpt from the source:

"Given that the Super Smash Bros. characters are actually just toys, that brings up another interesting question. Since it's Master Hand that brings the toys to life to fight each other, why then do they turn against their benefactor and fight the Master Hand as the final boss? I guess that opens the door for a few more theories to take the stage" -- GameRant.com

GRAB YOUR CONTROLLERS! 🎮 Time to play up another theory!

In tonight's special episode, we will be discussing a theory based on Nintendo's legendary icon: Mario. It has been theorized that all of the Mario games in the series have been nothing but stage plays. We are joined by our first guest star: NerdPunk Gaming, a podcast that loves to discuss games and chill. Give their podcast a follow: https://anchor.fm/nerdpunkgaming

Here's an excerpt from the source:

"Mario, Luigi, and the rest of the characters are all simply actors playing roles in a show. The idea may have originated with Super Mario Bros. 2, where the character select screen is set up like a stage." - Reddit u/JustinSchirmir
