My Problems With Game Theory (or why you really need to cite your sources)

Ok, this is going to be an ongoing document as I gather research on the topic. For those who don't know, Game Theory (not to be confused with economics or animal behaviour models) is a channel on Youtube who's focus is to theorize about video games and the like, often

Why is my two year old video on Metal Gear still viewed?

On August 16, 2015, I released a video about Metal Gear. Since then it has become my most viewed video, currently with 35k views, ~200 comments, and ~400 likes (and ~90 dislikes). It is my most successful video, basically single-handedly responsible for keeping my channel somewhat afloat, despite it being

Nintendo Switch Toronto Preview Tour

On January 28th, I got a chance to check out the Nintendo Switch at the Preview Tour event in Toronto. It was a fantastic time, and while most of my pictures unfortunately didn't turn out, everything from the console itself to the event's presentation blew me away. (It helped that

Berenstein-Mandela Effect Explained from the AVGN video

So the 2016 Angry Video Game Nerd Halloween episode just came out, and it was one of my favourite yet! I wasn't that big a fan of the Beavis and Butt-Head episode, but I think that's more because I don't know too much about Beavis and Butt-Head at all. If

A Web App for managing research paper notes

The Last of the White Whales

Arrays are easy.

Arrays may seem like a daunting task but fear not... that's what matlab does best. A task I've put off tackling in Python for a long long time.... All you need initially is to understand how for loops work in this bugger. In a language like Python, for loops read

MatLab is Still Puzzling but not Quite as Much

I've figured out the issue of the strange ordering. Apparently, listing strings and hitting enter between them doesn't actually mean the program will continue on as if nothing happened. prompt = {'Enter A', 'Enter B', 'Enter C', 'Enter D'); That won't work. That'll give you weird results or just a plain
