In addition to being the co-creator of the YouTube channels The Game Theorists, The Film Theorists, GTLive, and The Food Theorists, Matthew Robert Patrick, also known by his online handle MatPat, was born on November 15, 1986, in the United States. He is also the co-founder, president, and CEO of Theorist Media.
The Game Theorists, his earliest and most well-known channel, is a hub where he and several other content producers have uploaded videos primarily delving into the educational aspects of video games.
The channel’s main program, Game Theory, is hosted by Patrick (), who shares hypotheses on various facets of video games, including their lore, science, math, and historical components, supported by research. He broadcasts Film Theory on The Film Theorists, a Game Theory offshoot that focuses on film and television rather than video games.
How high is MatPat’s IQ?
MatPat claims to have an IQ of 140, making it a very clever creature. Diet Coke is MatPat’s favorite beverage. In a GTLive episode of The Impossible Quiz, MatPat stated that yellow mustard is his least favorite condiment.
What does MatPat use to make his videos?
While some animation applications use vectors, others use raster images. Given that Matpat frequently uses raster-based pictures, I’m willing to wager that he employs Adobe After Effects, which, for those who are unfamiliar, is essentially Photoshop for video.
