Forget Disney, Marvel or DC..... the Simon Whistler's Writers Cinematic Universe has the best crossovers. 😁😁
who's simon? i only know of a fact boi
@@R0w4nH0pk1ns who's fact boi? I only know Blaze Boi.
Well said
that is the absolute truth!
Or just forget DCEU; not one good project.
I love these!!! My only criticism is that I can't hear Kevin without cranking the volume - but then that makes you incredibly loud LOL
Thanks! And yeah, my videos are recorded on my phone is less than ideal.
@@ThatWriterKevin YOU LEGEND !
Same - I had to put on the closed captions to understand Kevin
@@ThatWriterKevin hi Kevin. Nice work.
So you turn it down when it gets loud... It took you more time to write the message and complain about it then it would have just a turn your volume down...
Since there were a lot of complaints regarding the volume of the videos (Sorry, they're recorded on my phone cause I'm not a big TH-cam factboy with actual equipment), here's the script for the solutions video.
Oh, it’s you again. I suppose it’s time to reveal the answers once more. The Knights of the Eastern Calculus were a group a highly-skilled hackers in the late 1990s. While it’s true that many of them committed suicide, it was a lie that their membership could not be traced. A list of all the members was actually leaked, and they either committed suicide or were assassinated. After the viewer response to the Death Gun story last episode, I would be remiss not to try to fool you with another anime plot, so of course this story was adapted from the 1998 anime Serial Experiments Lain.
Last time I was worried that you would already be familiar with Chip-Chan, and this time around the story I thought you were most likely to already have heard of was Mariana’s Web. It shows up in a lot of lists of internet mysteries and has been reported on by a number of respected news outlets and youtubers. Except last time I was hoping you hadn’t heard of Chip-Chan, and this time I was hoping you had heard of Mariana’s Web. While it is normally reported as fact and as an actual mystery, the entire thing is an obvious hoax that began with a single internet iceberg image. The entire thing is bullshit and technobabble, designed to prey on the fear and curiosity of people who don’t understand technology.
VR.5 was a terrible show on Fox in 1992. It only aired 10 of the 13 recorded episodes before being canceled. However, the series was never released on DVD, probably because it was trash that nobody wanted. There were several writers for the show, but episode 11, “Send Me an Angel” did not have a mysterious bonus writer. The fake pseudonym Jason Kendy is in fact an anagram for Danny’s Joke, because aside from a few small changes to remove British slang, this entry was written entirely by Danny.
There is a lot of speculation surrounding the death of Oh In-Hye. The official investigation seemed to lack a lot of the most basic elements of due diligence that one might expect, but the official story remains that her death was a suicide. I don’t think I believe that, but unfortunately this was a true story.
Finally that leaves Yeah Yeah Beebiss I. Funco definitely seemed to be caught copying Play It Again’s advertisement based on both lists being incorrectly alphabetized in the same way. However, just because it worked as a copyright trap, doesn’t necessarily mean it was intended as one. I’m actually inclined to lean more towards this being an unreleased localization of Rai Rai Kyonshis, but it’s unlikely we’ll ever know for sure. Still, this very real mystery captivated game fans so much that an independent developer released Yeah Yeah Beebiss 2 for the Nintendo Switch.
So how did you do? Were Danny and I able to pull one over on you
Also fun fact: my dialogue is so deliberate and full of awkard pauses because in the first episode I covered my face which I have since committed to, which means I can't see and thus can't read a script. These first two episodes the videos were done in a single take, which was a lot to memorize, but I have since learned to edit different takes together so hopefully it won't sound is weird and stilted in the future
Many thanks for this :) A very small suggestion for the next time, if there is one -- if the cut-off point for the comment shown above the "Read more" is somewhat constant over different platforms, please consider pushing the actual spoiler content underneath that.
@@roskapostikohde4594 it is not consistent. My computer and phone cut it off at different point, both before any spoilers
Thanks so much for this! 😄
Don't feel too bad Kevin, some of the blame should go to the video editor for not making your parts louder too. With that said it wouldn't hurt to reduce the voice modulator a little below "indiscernible"... Or for a laugh record the next one with the modulator set to "muffled warbles" for a few seconds before fixing it. ;)
Either way, good episode.
Keep up the work Kevin. You put in a lot of effored and it does show in the story's you make up.
Keep them comming!
Kevin is indeed a man of culture, I did not expect to hear about Lain in a Simon Whistler video lmaoo well done
Thanks!
Same! My favorite anime and so little known! Talk about an obscure reference!
Lain is brilliant and holds up so well even today.
@@nikelas6 Does it though? To me it's a lot like Tron, something that was cool at the time but makes infinitely less sense the more the average person understands computers.
I haven’t thought about lain in forever
Danny’s Joke. :) The effort that goes into the scripts and the shows is just amazing.
Really entertaining format. Look forward to more of these. I would add however that though it lends an air of mystery, it is really hard to understand Kevin when he talks and would appreciate a little less voice distortion for his part.
I toned down the distortion a lot from the first video too, but noted
Luckily closed captioning still works for that part if you can’t understand it
@@ThatWriterKevin Thanks, and great creative writing!
I have also posted the script for the solutions video in the comments since the volume is definitely way too low.
@@ThatWriterKevin you were way easier to understand this time but I have some hearing damage so low pitches are hard to understand - maybe this part could have hard coded subtitles? either way, great ep! I got fooled by 1, so hey I did better than Simon!
I love this, it's just so difficult to hear the distorted vocals! Glad that Simon recaps it for us! :)
I posted the script for the solutions in the comments since the volume was entirely too low, but glad you enjoyed!
Omg, I love this semi-passive game going on behind the scenes. You’re writers are uniting.
That’s never a good thing. 😂🙌
Simon's basement isn't large enough to keep them ALL separated! Unification was inevitable; at least they're trying to make it amusing for us. Successful? I vote Yay.
I definitely like the fact or fiction type of video. Really liked this one, I don't really do well guessing this type of stuff but watching Simon guess is always exciting, and I like how intricate the entries are.
Glad you enjoyed!
The easiest way to explain a copyright trap is via the concept of "paper towns", the copyright traps of the mapmaking world. Basically, you make up a town or street or some other detail that doesn't really exist and, if you see it in someone else's map, you have proof they ripped off your map instead of doing legit work and take them to court over it.
Now I've heard of this idea. Famous among the Renaissance ppl.
Too funny, I was literally just going to leave a comment using the same example. I'm so glad I saw this comment, I would've felt like an idiot. Great minds think alike! Good call
One guy a place I worked found this on a map but it was way more subtle, an road to an field on a farm was named, this was not an official road.
Another version of this who is more common today is an email or phone number in a list you buy leading back to the seller so you know if the list has been sold on.
oo I love that, I've never heard of this but it's brilliant haha
If im right didnt Apple get caught out by that? They used someone else' map for when they launched Apple Maps and all the fake roads and paper towns made it obvious
Simon has so many channels he has his own "lore". that's crazy.
The multiverse of Simon's personalities
Don't say that L word or you will summon MatPat...
OGBB, baby!
@@kiplingslastcat when I search for it in TH-cam I still search for business blaze, not brain blaze. I can't break that habit.
Justice for ETA
Ok, I had to stop to say, OMG, this rocks. I love it, I loved they worked together to make it harder. This is yet another reason why I subscribed to every channel you have.
Glad you enjoyed!
I love the effort Kevin puts in to mess with Simon in these vids 😅 More of these guessing vids please, honorable mention to Danny too!
There's two more recorded!
YESSSS!!!!! These have quickly become my favorites. Made a great listening experience for my work night.
These are so much fun! I love the Two Truths, One Lie feeling that comes with these videos.
I also got the VR5 one wrong but appreciated the cleverness in the anagram use. Luckily my knowledge of anime plotlines is well developed enough that I was suspicious of that first one up until the 'Lain' username confirmed it was BS.
I can't believe that one got him! There's more anime in a future one as well because I assumed I hadn't tricked him eyt
I must say, I really like the collaboration between Danny and Kevin. Now I’m thinking we need a Brain Blaze collaboration… without Simon’s damned word counts. Really Simon, fight the urge
Kevin! How do you write so many scripts, do you ever sleep!?!?
This is essentially a modern day TV show. He's just the talking head. There's a production crew, writers, front house etc.
The mushrooms in the Blazement keep them awake with horrible visions
Hard to sleep when you're chained up in a basement
I think Kevin writes for the channels usually done way ahead of time so it’s probably hard to tell how many scripts he is doing at a time? That’s just my assumption.
I sleep entirely too much and really need to up my writing output tbh, but thank you!
G'day Kevin, Danny & Simon,
These Fact or Fiction episodes are so cool, my answers were Fake-Fake (Danny)-Real-Real-Real, looking back the name of the writer (Danny's Joke) for 1 episode should have been the give away for VR5, so I guess I get 3.5.
Due to anxiety I have not been concentrating very well lately, I love Puzzles & Solving Mysteries & these eppisodes have been great to keep me engaged by getting my over active scatterbrain to focus for a while, Awesome work & so looking forward to there being FoF3
Simon, the Earth’s electromagnetic field extends from the deep in the inner core all the way out into space where it meets the solar winds.
Also lightning occurs at all levels of the atmosphere with specific names for the various types. Not all lightning is ground strikes.
Yeah dude, hearing someone call themselves a bit of a Science nerd and yet not knowing what the Schumann resonance is was painful as fuck lol. Then calling Netflix... Deepweb :D
Wait until someone tells him about ball lighting, he'll likely call that as false also!
@@OutlanderShaelyn Kevin definitely needs to write a Decoding the Unknown script about Ball Lighting! It will drive Simon’s skepticism crazy!
@@OutlanderShaelyn While ball lightning is an accepted phenomenon, it is not at all understood and should not be considered a type of lightning, there are far too many competing hypotheses as to it's causes.
OP no doubt was referencing Cloud-to-Ground, Cloud-to-Air, Ground-to-Cloud, Intracloud and Intercloud lightning
Sooo is this episode Decoding The Blaze? Or Brain Unknown? And i love that kevin and danny got together and simon doesnt know how!
Decoding the Brain
I was really worried too cause Danny dropped a hint in an email to Simon I guess, so I was afraid he saw it coming
I haven't watched the video yet but my 2 favourite writers from your channels teaming up is a big YAS
Simon, you definitely know who Dr. Ian Malcolm is, you have referenced the movie that character is in several times in your commentaries and stories
Life finds a way
I really should have a found a way to remember that.
Please keep doing these! They are a TON of fun, I'm hoping that more of your writers get in on the action in the future.
Yesssss.....I've been waiting for this. Thanks Kevin and Simon 🍻...DAMN AND DANNY!
You're welcome!
@@ThatWriterKevin 🍻
Whilst i love the format ive got my volume cranked to try and hear those video clips
This was so much fun! Only got the 3rd one wrong.
So glad that 2 of my favourite writers got together for this one. Would be awesome if Kevin and/or Danny could track down more of Simons basement dwellers and slowly but surely bring the whole Simonverse together in this channel. Bonus points if you eventually manage to get him to guess wrong on all of them.
Keep up the great work!
I fully support this idea!
The moment you said the name "Lain" i knew exactly what they were doing. The other ones though i had no idea about. I kinda guessed the one about Oh In-Hye was real just because there was so much footage included in the edit.
This is my favorite channel of yours. I really dig the off the script style and random bullshitting, its tons of fun.
TFW you’re still watching the upload from 2 hours ago when you get the next notification 😒
Just finished the JBR now on to the next
@@douggaudiosi14 I have to go back to it. I’m skipping the other channels today, it’s Friday after all 👍
Can we turn up Kevin's mic? Nonetheless very fun.
Or get him a better mic that produces less shhhhhhhhh sounds?
Nahhh > keep it mysterious...and allegedly...
It's my phone. Since I'm just the writer I haven't had cause to get like actual equipment for making videos
2 minutes in and I'm already stoked. I freaking love this format. And I adore the fact that Kevin recruited Danny to help with this one. XD
Glad you're excited!
YESSSS KEVIN!!!! I love these eps so much!!!! (will edit with final score after I watch)
Edit in the middle: 1, fake and I know Kevin the anime fan wrote it bc I watched Serial Experiments Lain.
Another edit: VR5 is an engine and the "show" is just Tron lol.
In the end I was 4/5, bc that TOTALLY sounds like Tron to me.
I only finished a handful of episodes but I had a sneaking suspicion that was outright confirmed when Lain got namedropped.
Glad you enjoy!
Love Kevin's writing, my fav of all Simon's writers. Would love if Kevin looked into the Yvonne Johnson case for casual criminalist. At the time she was the only First Nations woman in Canada serving a ‘life twenty-five’ sentence for first degree murder. She has also co authored a book about her life and the crime that's a very interesting read.
Yes!!! These are the ones I live for!!!! Made me just fall in love with Kevins style!!! Kevin, this one was GENIUS!!! Collaborating with Danny? Chefs kiss man!!
Glad you liked it so much!
I support the Fact of Fiction episodes being a thing every now and then.
5 out of 5 again. Though I did not know the one story was based on LAIN. I need to watch that again as I forgot everything about it except the Fredy Kruger looking think in one of the episodes. Please do more of these. These type of episodes are really fun.
That's one of my favorite anime series. I watched it for, I think, the third time a few months ago so once he mentioned the Knights of Columbus, I immediately thought of it. The series does a pretty good job of predicting a lot of things that would come to be regarding the internet and social media. I only missed the third one.
Absolutely great, as always. Kevin and Danny together, dream team! Keep making these. They are so much fun to watch!
I got four out of five correct. #3 messed me up :P Thanks Danny, it was fun to play along with Simon.
Simon! Bruv, gotta say that this and all of your channels are wonderfully entertaining and the way you just... digress at random and lose the topic is just amazing, shows that you have a wonderful mind and a talented team of writers working with you! Kudos, my man! Take care and keep it up! Be safe and healthy!
Peace & Long Life! 🖖😎
I love this video idea!! In the next one, Jenn could you include subtitles during Kevin's videos? I love the voice distortion but it's hard to understand for people with auditory processing issues 😅
"True or False Crime" is so much more exciting than plain old "True Crime."
I'm surprised this video hasn't done as well as other videos on this channel. I love these fact or fiction videos.
Absolutely love this channel man! Great laughs, great concept! Can't wait to see more and more of it!!!!
If we continue to get these, can either Kevin or the editor include subtitles over Kevin's videos? The auto generated ones suck and for people with hearing damage it's pretty hard to understand what he's saying.
I had a hard time parsing it and I don't even have hearing impairments.
Fully agreed, and my hearing is great.
I posted the script for the solutions video in the comments since the volume is such an issue
This is so goddamn funny and DEFINITELY the multiverse we all want.
I'm binging DTU. The longer episodes mean I don't have to touch or look at my phone every 5min. Greatly appreciated
So happy you have done another one of these!
Thank you so much! There's two more in the pipeline, so maybe another 8 months?
I'm seriously loving this format. Thank you Simon, for continuing to experiment with your channels and finding new ways to educate us through entertainment. Simply brilliant.
I just finished the first one and have been laughing through the whole thing. Serial Experiments Lain was one of my favorite anime growing up. I recognized every bit of lore and Simon's periodic interjections talking about whether he thought it was real or not made it that much more funny. XD
These Fact or Fiction videos are great! I love watching Simon trying to figure out if they're fact or fiction.
Great job Simon and team 😊👏💯
Thanks!
The TV show one was the only thing I got wrong. I honestly thought Simon was going to think the "Yeah yeah Beebus" entry was fake considering his early comments. Still, good job Kevin and Danny, hope to see more episodes like this and more collabs between you two.
These episodes are REALLY fun! Please make more! Kevin and Danny are great writers. I only got 1 right and I guessed Danny's entry wrong.
This was really fun! I'd love to see more of these.
This format is really great, would love to see more of this going forward
I love this format of video, keep them coming
Fun fact: in regards to the last story involving copyright traps. Map makers used to include fake towns known as "paper towns" in very out of the way locations on the map to catch other map printing companies just blatantly making copies of their maps & selling them as their own. The practice even lead to someone trying to create a real world town out of one of these paper towns in the more rural parts of NY where one these paper towns existed on a map, but nothing but unused land existed in real life
Y'all really need to do more of these. Very entertaining
I love these! Only thing I got wrong was knowing which one Danny wrote. Also, I love that my favorite obscure anime was referenced. That was impressive! Much respect to Kevin for being a part of that small crowd! Or maybe he's just been around this planet as long as I have and remembers the good old days of anime.
Was Lain really that obscure? I feel like I probably haven't watched much of anything that was obscure
@@ThatWriterKevin It certainly wasn't all that popular. A lot of people didn't seem to "get it" right away, which surprised me. I'm always shocked at how many people haven't seen it, but I've been introducing it to everyone I can because I think it's brilliant.
Have to comment it again, I LOVE this format. Adding Simon guessing which writer wrote it for some reason made me really happy. It was cool listening to him talk about his writers.
Really enjoyed this episode. Please make more like it!
My days of being a weeaboo were not wasted, I got BOTH of the anime references. On the last one I was IMMEDIATELY going 'dude, that's just SAO!', and then this time I had to listen twice but when I listened I was definitely 'yeah, no, that's some MAJOR Serial Experiments Lain or Ghost in the Shell vibes. I call anime.'
I really didn't think he was gonna fall for that one, but tune in to part 4 to see if I can fool him with Dragonball Z!
@@ThatWriterKevin legend
@@vigo0santiago Thanks!
I love all of your channels! Good stuff
I love this! I hope you keep up this series.
As long as it keeps getting views we will, so tell your friends!
Holy shit bringing Danny on board, bravo everyone! Very much enjoying the Fact or Fiction video specials. Now how do we score if we guessed an entry was fake but got the writer wrong? Half point? Then I got the last 2 right, and got half-points for 2 and 3...so AH-HAH, Simon, I also got 3 points! Technically!
Catching up on Simons's content, seriously this man puts out so many videos. With the first one I was like "why does this sound familiar?" then "Oh it's the plot of Serial Experiment Lain, I remember that from highschool" finally "F*** I'm old aren't I?"
Sliders was fire when I was a kid! I also fondly remember reruns of Quantum Leap.
I really love the concept of this show. It‘s a great mystery and it‘s fin to play along. I‘d love to have such a video once a month or every two month, becaude they are so entertaining. 😊
Love this format. Please keep them coming!
These are great! More please, and thank you!
These are really well done, please keep making them.
I've never heard of Lain, but after years of being a weeb I new right away that the first one was another "this story is based off an anime plot" simply because it's the perfect mix of taking inspiration from pseudoscience, adding dark elements like the cult, and then giving them an absolutely ludicrous but somehow also badass name.
Oh man I have been so looking forward to this coming back!!!
Simon, Kevin, and Danny put together make a pretty good Johnathan Franks.
Hmm, not nearly enough bad puns and the stories contain far too few ghosts to compete with Beyond Belief hehe ;)
The Simon Whistler Cinematic Universe and Crossovers is something I never knew existed, but I'm glad it exists. 😅😅😅
I love this format. Definitely please make more.
Would apprec A little less distortion on the Kevin sections though, it’s really quiet and hard to understand. Can you try a different audio filter next time, mini mouse perhaps?
4/5... Not bad! I messed up on that third one, but it was a bit tricky.
Another great one! The anime is still on my plan to watch so I couldn't tell this time.
I did find it very hard to make out was Kevin was saying in the videos. A little less distortion or subtitles would be nice
Love these videos, please keep doing them Simon.
You did better than me, I got 3 wrong. :)
PS-Not sure Jen is on your side here.....
I'm two minutes in and jumping in my seat. Kevin AND Danny... this will be a wild ride
Another brilliant episode 👏
I will just say, the subtitles for Kevin's videos in the last/first one were incredibly helpful. Whether it's my age or the age of my tech, I did not get a single word of the reveal video ☹🎺
Ooh just seen Kevin's comment with the script below 🥳
Just finished the JBR and I get this treat. This is making my work day fly by
Loved the little intro and outro videos!
Simon looked so happy starting this video. Clearly enjoying this fun!
Yeah, he loves recording these so make sure everyone you know watches! As long as they keep getting views we will keep doing them! (But there's at least 2 more coming)
I love that Kevin is such a Danny stan! He's gotta be OGBB
Allow to to answer whether I am or not while wearing this zebra sex mask
I think you need to work with Tom Scott on a better and more frequent version of "Two of these people are lying!" because that's what this feels like, and Tech Diff doesn't put them out quickly enough.
Have they done a video in the last few years?
Love these, do more!
That was great! Keep them coming!
you don't understand how excited I was to see this pop up
Glad you were excited!
So i listened to the video while walking along a dark, dark street and …HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THINGS, the way Kevin’s voice is mastered and likely altered? Totally gave me the creeps until I realized what was going on. Mind you, this was during the resolution at the end, so i was tuned in to Simon’s voice and completely did not expect to hear Kevin speak at that point. I legit thought someone was lurking in the even darker dark.
Well done 😂😅
These episodes are soooo good! Don’t feel bad Simon, I got all of them wrong 😂
I'm looking forward to the next one! This was awesome.
This is great! I love playing along!
I have heard of the Oh In-Hey Video and I could have sworn I heard it on one of Simon‘s channels… But it’s also not uncommon for him to not remember his own videos. Or I could be wrong, though I barely consume anything besides the Whistlerverse and German Let’s Plays
Also they don’t always come out in the order they’re written and recorded or some might be delayed or go ahead of schedule… I mean it’s Simon 😂 he does a lot of stuff
It easily could've been included in a toptenz, but I don't think it was
Yes! Found another one! Love these
I love these! Please do more 😊
There's at least two more coming!
Y'all should get all of the writers from the varying channels in on this I love this it is so much fun I got four out of five right.
From the last one, Dr. Ian Malcom is from Jurassic Park. Jeff Goldblum's character.
The Schuman resonance is a very real thing. I’m currently part of a study seeing if spikes effect migraine activity
I was SO upset when he was calling bullshit on the intro that was real science and not actual part of the story yet! I'm glad it did manage to ultimately fool him though
I like how in the first entry Kevin is explaining a real thing as background and Simon goes, this one is definitely fake. Lmao
The "oooh!" At the beginning. 😂💝 Simon's a gift to humanity
I find it hilarious that the stories start out with quick lessons that are done high-level because they are so well known as to be nearly common knowledge, and big brain Simon immediately jumps to “made up” for these well known facts :D
RIGHT? The Schumann Resonance was an important part of the fake story, but it's a real thing and hewas calling bullshit on it! Glad he changed his mind though lol
