How to F**k up a Video Game Timeline

Before you comment it; Yes, I find myself annoying in this video as well.

Gonna be waiting for that kingdom hearts video now

17:52 This is so true. I think too many people forget that Scott is writing this story as be goes along and is only human. Especially in games after pizza sim, there are so many hurdles and loops to jump through to draw any conclusions on the narrative. Just playing the game and coming up with your own ideas isnt enough anymore.

I agree, but you missed one thing… Make sure to give the main character way to much variation so you have no idea who they are

YO IT'S YOUNG CONSISTENT POSTING NAKEYJAKEY!

That doom map refrece in the beginning was subtle but good

I like to treat any FNAF game after Pizza Sim as its own thing, disconnected from the games before it. And I think Scott now also understands this, and quickly replaced Afton with the Mimic, which I think is a much better choice

I always forget you’re a small YouTuber these videos are so high quality keep it up

Wondering if there's a way to tell you how much I love your content without accidentally sounding sarcastic or anything because you're so incredibly awesome!

The thumbnail for this is absolute gold.

As some one who has reluctantly looked way far into FNaF stuff in that past years I can tell you that FNaF's early timeline being as nuanced as it is wasn't just because Scott wanted to make more games after FNaF 3 just for the money. In Scott's own words FNaF 3 was supposed to be the last game in the franchise, but after the game came out the reception was somewhat mixed, and Scott looked at FNaF 3 as a product, realized he wasn't happy with it and made FNaF 4 to better end off the series. Something you also slightly touched on was FNaF 4 being a narrative mess in terms of the modern understanding of the lore; the reason being for that is at some after the time of FNaF 4's release Mat Pat put out a video of the infamous "Dream Theory" which FULLY recontextualized the contents of the first 3 games before it as the nightmares of the Bite of '83 kid. The theory was pretty sound for the time and it was the majority agreed upon story of FNaF; that the whole thing was just the bite victim's nightmares after being bitten, but guess what, people absolutely hated it. Scott ,then again, not happy with the product of the previous game made Sister Location which, again, FULLY recontextulized FNaF 4 to no longer be a dream and to be the weird experimentation stuff you see in Sister Location. The problem with Sister Location, however, is that Scott never gave a clear answer to when it was built or when gameplay takes place. Sure there was hints towards it, but never anything you could use definitely, and now Sister Location is just this weird non-Euclidian fluid where no matter where you put it into the early timeline you have some sort of a problem. As annoying as it is it just makes since when you listen to some of Scott's, interviews especially the one with Dawko. As everyone probably knows, and as you said in your video, FNaF was never supposed to grow into the multimedia juggernaut it is today, and as a consequence of this the early games in the franchise don't really have that much actual usable theory fodder which makes it harder than it needs to be to make a timeline because you don't have as much information as you would initially think, and everything you could possibly use has either already been used or is just another loose thread until a future game or book recontexulizes it.

Holy shit the quality of the writing and editing in this video is insane. How does it only have like 600 views?

with every video he grows larger and larger, im getting scared

Tho as Scott Cawton once said: ''there is only hole in your understanding''

New sweets upload saves me from today's dry subscription feed let's goooo

Fear and Hunger only has 2 games, it's lore is more complicated than the actual real life history and all of FNAF lore combined, which is wild

Thanks youtube for recommending me this guy's videos again

YUSSS A SWEET SWEET VIDEO.

I used to think I was insane for telling my entire story in my head before I even thought about putting shit on paper. Thanks to you, I can rest assured knowing that my timeline will probably make more sense than fnaf's timeline. Outstanding video btw ;)

you are a king for sourcing your music thanks so much
