Hearing MatPat saying "I really like Stephanie" with 100% honesty stamped on his face really brings a warmness to my heart. God bless this wholesome man.
I was live. I said yes, moving on. Only one person actually mentioned it again, and it didn't actually get discussed. just moved on. Same with masturbation, but I think people were fine with just moving on there.
16:28 “Are you alone?” “That depends on how you interpret the lore of this channel” I will never get over how lucky we are to have Mirror Mat as a part of team theorist 😂😭 he’s truly a gem.
@@katlynbednarski2748 i think he uses he/him because of the "lore" of the channel. mirror mat is mat but the mirror version. so it would make sense that he would call himself "he" even though mirror mat is a woman. or i could be wrong who knows.
If “punch the nun,” WAS a euphemism, I think it would be used when you have to do something that is seen as wrong without the right context. Like when you gotta defend yourself but end up hurting someone in the process, “sometimes, you gotta punch the nun.” If anyone else has a different idea, I’d love to hear it! Also, now I can’t get the thought of One Punch Man’s theme song going “NUN PUUUUUNCH!” Has that been thought of yet?
Could be when you think you're in the right but you find out more & you've done something really bad or hurt someone trying to help you. "This idiot was yelling & honking at me so I flipped him the bird & sped off. Turns out I was driving the wrong way down a one way street. Totally punched a nun on that one."
When matpat starting talking about a tooth fairy i was waiting for him to give a description of what he saw and when he did i had a stroke. i remember seeing the exact same thing as a kid then never saw it again afterward. when can we get a theory about the toothfairy 🥺
I really appreciate how honest Mat is. Like when he says he's not a good friend, and when he explains his conflict with the "would you destroy the world" button, he’s so vulnerable about it.
why do I get the feeling there's a hidden ending designed for a specific person who punched a nun and knows the game designers well enough to have a game designed with them in mind...
I worked on personality profiling assessments for a few years and would, at every possible opportunity, push for the possibilities of gaming. Whether through gamification of systems or putting the systems into games. After all, a game that knew your deepest fears and motivations would have the potential to truly engage a player. I actually made a game in RPG maker as a proof of concept - but it definitely didn’t focus on the question as much as it did your actions and conversations. And it engaged with you as a character, not a person taking a test - the theory was that you might have a “game mask” - the character you want to portray - your true self would manifest in more subconscious ways.
i would love to try a game like this that assessed my “gaming persona” to see if it could figure out my unconscious reasoning for those choices. i wonder how often it would conclude that those choices come down to insecurity or lack of control in the person’s real life.
@@ellespoonies Exactly! The way we choose to portray ourselves in a game speaks volumes about our personalities, but there are things that we can't help do which betray us more. Does the detail oriented person who's playing the role of a fierce warrior still meticulously check every barrel, chest and drawer in case they miss something, for example?
@@D-S-9 If you have the time and resources, you should! It sounds like a great game, I’d definitely pay for it. I mostly play combat + occasional simulator/comfy farm games, but these “test” games are starting to make me want to try it out.
"Would you consider yourself to be a good friend?" That is such a HARD question to answer. We all want to think that we are and it's honestly kinda shocking that Matpat was able to answer "No" so fast.
I think it's really hard to answer yes to that question when you think of the times when you hurt others in the past. Sure you may be good to others but you still hurt the other people. Idk, I would have also answered no. I don't spend time with that many people and I feel like if I had a lot more friends, I don't think I could rlly be there for them.
The question is, what do YOU consider to be a good friend. What things would somebody have to do in order to be considered a good friend in your eyes, and then see if you check all those boxes when you talk to your friends. some can say yes, some cannot.
markiplier also immediately said no and when i first saw it i immediately said no and now i will still say no, and I dont think i will ever be whether i try to change or not
@@cory_and_co Anyone can change. if you don't think you'll ever be a good friend, then either consider lowering your standards of what "good friend" means, or don;t worry about it. Sometimes you don't need good friends, just friends.
23:19 the way I did a double take after hearing Matpat nonchalantly state he's seen THE Tooth Fairy, as if it were a factual occurrence in his life, and then just moving on to other topics...thankfully mirror Matt had the decency to backtrack
When I saw the "are you afraid of spiders" question I immediately thought of the gummy food vs real food challenge. I love that Matt brought it up! 😂 I think it would be interesting for some of those questions to be answered by other people because we often see ourselves in a more negative light than others see us.
Actually, it specifically asked about *living* alone forever. I thought that meant never sharing a home with another person, which doesn't sound as punishing as being alone forever. So, I figured they can still be with their significant other, just not living in the same house.
31:54 As it happens, this exact issue (what is a “good friend” amount of time to be spending with someone) has come up recently in my life, similarly due in part to the lack of friendships, particularly in earlier life
I wouldn't say not spending a lot of time with someone makes you a bad friend. Like this week we lost water in my town and I was sick so I needed more water than usual. I texted my best friend, who lived outside of town, just to complain about it but she texted me back and said I could come over to her house if I needed to because she still had water. The water was actually back on the next day so I didn't have to but just the fact that she offered meant more to me than I could have imagined. I guess my point is what I feel like makes a good friend is just being their when your friends need you, even if it's just someone they can text to complain about their day.
I had the same issue multiple times bc a friend i got when i was a small child (little but not little little) is now my pen pal and I would take forever to respond. I also never text or call my friends. The only time I see anyone really is at school
@@thecrimsonwolf2456 That’s a really sweet story, I’m glad you have such a nice friend! As it happens, my problem has less been “what is too little time,” and more “what is the appropriate amount of time.” I made a new friend recently, who I quite like hanging out with, but at the same time, I don’t want to ask to hang out to frequently, as that might be too much, or weird, but I also don’t want to ask so infrequently as for them to think I’m disinterested in maintaining a friendship. So rather than whether it’s too little time, it’s what’s the appropriate amount of time, be that too little or too much
I'd just like to say that the thing that makes a good friend is not the amount of time you spend with them, but weather or not you are there for them when they need you.
To me the difference between "friend" and "acquaintance" is that you need to spend time with an acquaintance to maintain the relationship, whereas a friend you can go years without seeing or talking to, but when you do it is as if no time has passed and you have the same relationship.
This episode is so much of MatPat just expressing his opinions and talking about his thoughts on these random things and I absolutely love it, it’s so wholesome 😄
I love that Mat has similar ideas of what "magic" and believing in it is. Whenever I talk about it, I always worry that people are going to think I'm a loon, when my ideas are pretty tame. So it's nice to see someone respectable and on the scientific end of humanity, sharing similar ideas. (15:06)
@@KydaWoIf People might think of different ideas when the word magic is brought up. Sometimes it's TV show magic, wizards and unicorns, or the kind Mat described, unexplained phenomena and patterns. Edited my first sentence to be closer to what I meant.
@@thatmykahguy For the upcoming ones maybe. I got into it pretty late when they made the 2nd part to the Test Series. There is now 3 and they have _tons_ of side projects. They also have another 3 part series for The Horrorscope which is just as good.
I’m just imagining if one person who played this game actually punched a nun. They probably reached that question and stopped dead like “how do they know?”
@@Derpy_Bird427 You can find it actually. Someone posted a link in the comment section of the 2nd stream, and I think there are other ways of getting to it as well.
My secret word of the first test was Chaos I really hope matpat plays the other 2 tests. It was so fun to watch him answer these and to get to know him on a more personal level :)
it’s good to see matpat taking inspiration from mark but moving past the point where he constantly compared TGT to his channel. matpat has definitely gotten more confident and more sure of his abilities
24:40 I had a similar thing with waking dreams at night as a young child. There was a boy in a striped shirt (no nothing like the boy in the striped pyjamas, I hadn't even heard of that at the time, it was just a shirt I had), who would just walk toward me very slowly making no noise (bloody terrifying). If I waved my hand in front of me he would stumble back as if thrown by a force much greater than a simple waft should cause. So one night I punched him, and he flew backward into the wardrobe. I didn't stop seeing him *at that moment,* he just recovered and started walking again, but I'm pretty sure that was the last time he showed up. Think I saw him standing with a family in the corner of my room once, too.
I played all 3 games after I saw Mark play it and I gotta say it really helped me. This may just be a personality test with extra steps but somethings you need somebody else to tell you who you are from their perspective, for me it got me spot on, I have been struggling with so much and had been down a deep hole of self hatred. My word was Order, then I got Reveal on the second test, and Blessed on the third. Sure most personality tests are absolute trash that somebody made in a single afternoon with very little thought, but these games are great, they had so much work and heart put into them that its ridiculous, they really shouldn't be this good, but they are. I can't wait till their next big project comes out, its supposed to include parts where you put in your code words from the 3 test games and it will change the story based on the words you put in, to make it a personalized experience.
I remember when I did the test(s) and was sad how few people in comments I found getting Fairness. I'm now glad I share this with you MatPat! (Hope to see you play the other tests too, they are worth to see more of the looooore :D)
This is gonna be great, I can’t tell who has better reactions/who would, but I feel like matpat wins in reactions for this game, I’ll have to see, I haven’t watched all of mark’s vid
@@amusedbug7289 While I'm not afraid of getting in water, I don't like getting wet if I don't have to be (ie swimming, going to the beach, etc) and I am so very paranoid of what could be *in* deep waters. Looking at you and your horrifying giant squid, National Geographic.
@@Zane618 I'm pretty sure some questions were meant to make you feel like the narrator person asking the questions was in your house with you, which in my opinion is quite scary
@@audge-audge Yeah, but in my opinion, if it was actually supposed to be scary, it didn't expand enough on that to actually work very well. I was expecting something like "The Watson-Scott Test" with no jumpscares, rather than a weird series of questions with a few slightly creepy ones mixed in.
Matpat and or mirror Matt if either one of you sees this, or anyone on the team for that matter, I would love to see a replay of this game with Stephanie answering the questions just so Matt can look for The hidden messages. I don't know what is so hectic about her schedule at the moment that makes her not able to appear but maybe the next time she could that would be an option. Plus we all just miss Steph we love her!
6:10 "This isn't a personality test" I'm pretty sure it is, the game is just being "tsundere" about it (they're just hoping to draw your attention by denying it)
I just wanna say how I appreciate y’all being 2 years late to the game 😂 it makes you feel still the same as the beginning it still feels authentic like classic RU-vid I love it
I'm a good Slytherin, which doesn't exist The cursed child: wait, but- I answered a lot of yesses when it was asking if you hear footsteps and such. The door to my room even closes on it's own when nobody's home.
I really like this episode. Hearing what Matpat has to say for these questions made me think a lot about myself. I feel surprisingly similar to him in a lot of ways, but there are some key differences that I feel like, paradoxically, made me understand my and Matpat’s responses to the questions more.
It’s been YEARS since I saw someone play this!! Iv always wanted to see Mats choices! Edit: realized I said years and it was only 2 years ago- time is fake and my memory lies
with what mirror Matt said about the acronym thing, i knew one that if u were “cool” it meant constipated overrated out of style loser, and everyone used to say that they were “cool with a k” so that they wouldn’t be made fun of.
I’d argue that the there is something that we “do” that lasts longer than life. I would say that if you have kids, and you raise them and teach them to be good, wise adults… hopefully even after you die, they will still be learning from you. They will remember you, carry on your advice and lessons, and maybe even pass it down to their own kids. Our legacy and our effect on this world lasts as long as people remember our name.
So... um....Matt, I'm sure you remember this since I'm referencing you're own video on Kanye Quest 3000 but this entire game reeks of being a cult recruitment game. It's a cheaply made rpg maker game that mined information about you and depending on how you answered gave you a word that could be assigned to you, those that answered the questions in ways that might have picked them out as vulnerable to recruitment were probably given a specific word and then when you place it in the comments the cult would reach out and maybe give other tests to weed out who would be a good recruit. I was waiting for you to make that connection the whole video. From your own words this game came out around the time those were popping up all over the place sooooo
I watch GTLive because I like getting to know MatPat and the team, I realize it sounds a bit creepy but I learn a lot from them and they help me to be a better person and be the person I wanna be
After watching Markiplier and you play this I felt the urge to do so, too, and even though I was already familiar with the questions, the result struck a cord to be honest. It was almost uncanny. Even though this is just a game made by strangers I've never met, some of the things mentioned felt like they were reaching into my deepest wounds and holding out a hand to help. Like, more than a slight horror experience this strikes me as a very kind concept. And people need kindness right now, more than anything.
I think I will play this game, after I’ve forgotten about it, and when -I’m even lower- I’m feeling down. I will cry my eyes out. Maybe I’ll show it to a therapist -once I get one-
My secret word was Fantasy, and my ending was completely different from yours. And Markiplier recently played this and got a completely different secret word and ending, so that's at least three endings!
“greens not a creative color!” I am a little hurt lol. I adore green! Beautiful varied greens of trees, damp wet greens of moss, cool blue greens or rivers and streams! Lush grass and clovers!
Watching this after the retirement video…. It’s wild we didn’t see it coming. Just hearing him talk about how tired he is…. It’s sad… I’m happy he is gonna finally have time to do what he wants with the people he wants
I don't know if you'll check comments for game recommendations, however I would like to recommend the game "pocket mirror". I would like to mention it may be ideal to wait for the remaster which is supposedly coming out this year (I just checked a minute ago and 3 weeks ago a teaser was announced). May be late 2022 when it comes out. The game is free to play. The remaster may not be free to play. I do know of one bug in the game where you may get stuck, but it doesn't happen all the time.
I completely forgot there are a lot of choices that aren't explicitly clear and I have no recollection of, so I'd recommend saving at every single point you possibly can, even if some may seem unneeded
43:37 "Do you beleive in legendary beasts such as the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot?" Matpat: "no I do not" Bro you literally just said you saw the tooth fairy what are you talking about, how could you not beleive in something you have literally seen??
32:13 I’ve never considered being a good friend tied to how many times you interact with each other but more the quality of those interactions after all a good friend is not someone who puts you above all else that’s unhealthy but someone who when your together you both end up better people if that makes sense
And today, MatPat confirms my suspicions that he is far too analytical to believe in ghosts. "have you seen ghosts?" -tells stories that would be fairly stronger evidence for ghosts- "nope"
@@RasmusVJS Unexplained moving shadow people? As well as the blue orb, the tooth fairie. I mean, you can argue not ghosts, but just, how quickly he said they were waking dreams... Idk, I think it's interesting, because yes, a lot of people would say that both of those occurrences are arguably evidence of possible ghosts. My point is that he DID see ghosts, but things that most people would then say, I might have seen ghosts, but he is so analytical, that it's just not a fathomable possibility. Also, I didn't realize it crossed part of that out. I'm not used to websites coding like that tbh. so, that's just supposed to read as an action... not... whatever being crossed out would imply, lol.
@@RasmusVJS Yeah, that's why I didn't like it getting crossed out on accident, lol. Cause to my mind, he gave several examples that people would say are strong evidence of ghosts. Not proof, evidence.
Posting this at 59 minutes since the post and I feel accomplished. It doesn’t take that much😂 love the content! It really changed a lot for me just watching theories.
The test took a really nice and friendly turn at the end. I honestly thought it was gonna be “The word that most describes you is dead.” Because of the creepy theme
@@mel7754 That could be true. I just know he mentions being a theater major a lot, and only occasionally mentions psychology, so I may have drawn my own conclusions from that.
Been wondering for a bit, watching some older videos and know a few friends would love to probably see you play it, but have you ever thought about playing OneShot? I think with certain kind of games you've said you really enjoy it would be up your alley!
52:20 some how thats the most surprising thing but unsurprising considering its you. I watched markiplier play this and they said he something along the lines of ," you poor soul, you have been hurt but no matter what you need to tell yourself to keep going forward" and he said marks word was angel
