    Forget Disney, Marvel or DC..... the Simon Whistler's Writers Cinematic Universe has the best crossovers. 😁😁
  • @elusive73
    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
  • 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 YouTube 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
  • Danny’s Joke. :) The effort that goes into the scripts and the shows is just amazing.
  • @icrissa
    Kevin is indeed a man of culture, I did not expect to hear about Lain in a Simon Whistler video lmaoo well done
  • @jbrubin8274
    Omg, I love this semi-passive game going on behind the scenes. You’re writers are uniting. That’s never a good thing. 😂🙌
  • @alyssam3020
    I love this, it's just so difficult to hear the distorted vocals! Glad that Simon recaps it for us! :)
  • @shellshell942
    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!
  • @cnaisbitt5013
    Simon has so many channels he has his own "lore". that's crazy.
  • @rebeccan518
    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.
  • @kreiner1
    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.
  • 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 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
  • @Wiickles
    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.
  • @ssokolow
    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.
  • @amandam8609
    Kevin! How do you write so many scripts, do you ever sleep!?!?
  • @joeyr7294
    Yesssss.....I've been waiting for this. Thanks Kevin and Simon 🍻...DAMN AND DANNY!
  • @maryscott9430
    Sooo is this episode Decoding The Blaze? Or Brain Unknown? And i love that kevin and danny got together and simon doesnt know how!
  • @vipbaepsae
    I haven't watched the video yet but my 2 favourite writers from your channels teaming up is a big YAS
  • @shaneeslick
    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
