#1 - Minecraft vs. League of Legends, The Battle for the Decade's BEST GAME!
Season 10 - Episode 1 - Aired 1/4/2020
Last episode I covered some of the most impactful games of the past decade and today we are topping off that list. You see, when I decided to do these episodes, I had ideas of what games would and wouldn't end up making the cut. There are SO MANY great games that came out in the past ten years but, no matter how much we love them, they did not shape the face of gaming culture as we know it today. These final games, I think, did just that. Let's go!

Now, the games generally focus on bringing down these bad leaders - and they do a great job. I've learned a LOT and it follows many of the lessons we've learned throughout our own history on the subject. If we know how a bad leader stays in power, we can figure out how to take that power away. Get ready for a power lesson in Game Theory!

When Markiplier and CrankGamePlays put up the channel Unus Annus, they had two big rules. 1. They would be uploading daily for 365 day. 2. After those 365 days, the channel would be deleted and disappear forever. That is a BIG play. All that work just to have it disappear? It is a bold and simple premise for a channel... except nothing is ever that simple, is it? Therosits, I have watched and analyzed all of the uploads on the channel and I've come to one BIG conclusion. There is something SECRET hiding in the videos of Unus Annus. A secret that someone has been trying to tell us since the beginning. A secret that, just maybe, could save Mark, Ethan, and Unus Annus before the clock runs out.

She is a winged warrior out to defeat mythological monsters on her quest to rescue the Gods. Fenyx's wings are VERY similar to those Daedalus made for Icarus in the famous Greek myth.

Season 10 - Episode 37 - Aired 8/29/2020
Epic Games, the creator of Fortnite, has come out swinging recently. First it was at the Google Play Store, now it's out for Apple's App Store too. Sure, Epic Games says it's about them banning Fortnite from their stores, but I think there is something much BIGGER going on. What exactly? Well, it's written plainly in their own legal documents - they want to open their OWN app store and to do so, they need to break down the monopolies already dominating the markets.
