[Music] Are you guys bored? Well, check this out! Vsauce Fate Games presents Facebook: The Game. Would you guys like something like that? Well, pop in the cartridge and explore 150 million profiles. Avoid the dangerous, murderous pokes! Do people even do that anymore?

Choose a weapon to ignore messages from that sweaty kid who kept trying to hold your hand in third grade, or take a break. You can procrastinate by looking at your female friends' pictures. Bullseye! Earn Feats of Strength in the dungeon levels. Ignore your mother's friend request and beat the clock untagging yourself from photos that make you look fat.

Oh, how the H do I get out of here? You'll have to morph into the only thing that can escape Facebook: private personal data. Nice problem solving! Collect power-ups to earn the maximum of 5,000 friends and avoid the spinning death blades of unneeded event invites. Come on! I don't even live in Kansas anymore!

Oh, see, I messed up! Now where are we? Oh no, I think we're stuck in Friendster! Wait, even worse, we're in Myspace! No! Facebook: The Game, coming soon! Rated PFR – TBH.

For hey, Vsauce! Thank you so much for watching this week's fake game trailer. I hadn't done one in a while, and yesterday I had the idea to do a Facebook game, so I threw this together in the last day with my friend Todd Wac. He was the other guy who was playing, so big thanks to him!

If you guys still haven't seen the first fake game trailer I made for the Justin Bieber game, click here to watch it. And as always, if you have any ideas for games that you're sure will never get made but still want to see a trailer for, leave them in the comments below. If I like one a lot, I might make it next week!

Thank you so much for watching, and stay tuned Friday for a special edition of Nerd Wars. All right, see you guys later! Bye-bye! [Music]

We’re at the Beginning of an Infinity of Knowledge

The difference with “The Beginning of Infinity” is that you’re getting a worldview. You’re not being given the standard take from physicists about how to understand quantum theory. You’re not being given the standard take of how to understand knowledge fr…
