Jeff Bond It didn't tell you anything that the game didn't tell you though......at all......I mean really, do people need these simple plots spelled out for them to make sense? I am so confused.
+Erwin Schrodinger Sometimes it helps. When you play through some people concentrate more on the parkour part that they aren't taking notice of the story
Wait.. You called Faith a Catalyst, and the new Mirrors Edge coming out in 2016 is called Mirrors Edge Catalyst. YOU PREDICTED THE NAME OF THE NEW MIRRORS EDGE A YEAR BEFORE. WAT
I loved mirror's edge. I had the fastest times on the leaderboards for the first 4 months of the games release a long time ago on console. God what a great game. I really loved that game. So many playthroughs trying to crunch my time. It was so smooth, god. It was a refresher to play a smooth platformer. I felt like I was playing something as smooth as mario but looked as good as metriod.
Never played mirror's edge, and now, even though I know the ending, I want to play it. A lot. Speaking of endings, this episode's ending made me smile. Thanks, Treesicle!
Just beat the game and found an the "Where is November?" easter egg. I googled "Where is November?" and found this video! Whenever I beat a game, I'm coming here for the rest of the story afterwards! Thank you for this video, too. It helped explain everything!
PastorGains Thanks man! We're on a 2 week release schedule now, so expect SYNK every other Thursday. The four of us were separated all summer which is why videos were taking a while. But no longer!
I'm still re-watching this. Great video. It's no surprise that Catalyst still has the same theme as the first game. It's Mirror's Edge, it's supposed to have the same concept.
It's actually very good to play! Just like the first game, the environment, setting and style of it makes it's so good to play. Gameplay wise was improved for more user friendly for new players. Only thing that it's lacking is the content in the free roaming city. There's nothing much to do except just beating Time Trials and Dashes.
You guys should do an episode of Ike Gawain from Fire Emblem. Gawain isn't his last name since he "doesn't have one" but it could be a topic you could address in the episode
That was honestly so impressive, I'm gonna watch this video before any time i need to analyse works for English because you guys to a fantastic job. Would love to see more video's like this!
I could think a few ways to make your channel more popular or recognizable like make a guest appearance of any well-known RUclipsrs like Gaijin Goomba or Jontron but I believe you will keep making more awesome videos no matter what.
Absolutely love the series, gives a certain perspective to these characters, this proves the videogames can really tell good stories, can't wait for the next one, I suggest you do Gordon Freeman, the silent badass of gaming :D
ohhh would you look at that, Always watch the full vid before commenting people!, love you guys, it's like you read my mind before the end of the video XD
Lone Wolf Yeah it looks like you got your wish! Super stoked to hear that you like our stuff! If you have any other suggestions besides Mr. Freeman please let us know...we are always trying to hear about characters we might have forgotten.
Umm, Just finished Dishonored, so Corvo would be nice. And, there MUST be a Kratos episode for this series :D, And ummm, yeah, Skorpion would be nice too. But I guess all of them are on your list of Bad-ass protagonists. :)
To deconstruct differently: I disagree about Kate and Faith. Kate chose to subordinate following her mother's death. Kate is most likely a reference to The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare: A notoriously misogynist play about the subjugation of a woman called Katherine through marriage. Katherine is referred to diminutive as Kate by her abusive partner. Faith chose to insubordinate following her mother's death. Faith's namesake is likely just to designate her as an ideologue. 'Icarus to the highest' may be taken as a Hellenistic and Judeo-Christian mixed metaphor, The Hellenistic reference is to Icarus who flew to close to the Sun which in Plato's philosophy was seen as enlightenment or divinity. The Christian reference is to the hymn Hosanna in the Highest. Taken in concert this mixed metaphor is a reference to the Tower of Babel. This is significant as the game ends in a tower that contains infrastructure for an almost all seeing database. 'Babel' in addition to giving us the word 'babble' also gives us the word 'bible.' 'Bible' means book, book abstractly means information. Faith assails the tower of information that was made to achieve divinity. 'Mirror's Edge' is likely a Post-Structuralist reference. Being on the mirror's edge means being partially invisible. Sub-textual meaning: First-Person Game, i.e. Unable to see oneself totally. Contextual meaning: Partially invisible to autocrats. Faith's namesake categorising her as an ideologue and therefore a Structuralist, places her at odds with the 'mirror,' which is a post-structural anti-ideological construct. Owen O'Brien was the producer of Mirrors Edge and his accent sounds Irish, so it is likely the 'Blues' is a reference to the Blue Shirts, an Irish Fascist organisation from the 1930's, which was led by Owen O'Duffy the first head of the Irish Free State's police force.
Anyone noticed that before Mirror's Edge: Catalyst trailer was released or even the game was confirmed that Treesicle said that "Faith acts as a Catalyst" Huh.
213213yoyo We thought about including the comic, but it didn't add much to the general themes of the game IMO. It was more of an interesting add-on to Faith and Kate's lives before Mirrors Edge. The themes were still there and the story was great, but with a 15 minute video we've gotta prioritize ;)
This video actually made Mirror's Edge better.
true dat

I miss the feeling this game gave me when I played it the first time. I just replayed it and god is this game just fire, it still holds up to this day
Never played mirror's edge, and now, even though I know the ending, I want to play it. A lot. Speaking of endings, this episode's ending made me smile. Thanks, Treesicle!
Personally I think the combat rocks, and I didn't find it as hard as the reviews said. Absolute gem of a game.
I'm loving this series! The humour and references are great, good timing too, keep 'em coming!
Man, I think that I was the only person in the world that sees Mirror's Edge like that, thank you for this video.
Just beat the game and found an the "Where is November?" easter egg. I googled "Where is November?" and found this video! Whenever I beat a game, I'm coming here for the rest of the story afterwards! Thank you for this video, too. It helped explain everything!
this is now my favorite thing to watch on all the internet
Amazing as always. You guys definitely deserve way more views!
Uzair Ahmadi Thanks man! Glad you liked it.
I've never played Mirror's Edge but it seems like a neat game. Seems deep too the way you described it.

***** it was anochet on E3 2014
These videos are so well made....these guys deserve more viewers/subscribers
Love the mat pat reference
I cried years of joy at the end
And you aren't as popular as MatPat. Why? You deserve just as much, if not more, subscribers that Game Theory has.
Special Agent Cake Much appreciated, getting to his level would be amazing. We're pretty new so it takes time =D
Treesicle You are good MatPat is gud then *NOW KISS!!!* *AHMMHAHMM Hipster Cough* i mean make a episode with matpat
EVERYBODY SUB TO THESE GUYS THEY ROCK!
Shenron -Sama Yeah! What Shenron said! But seriously thanks dude.
Treesicle lol np bro i have tons of friends online that would sub!
S -Mohamud No.
You should really do the sequel: Catalyst I'm really curious about the second one
"FUCK OFF OWEN!"
The answer to life.

I agree.
Your channel absolutely needs more views! Liked!

I love your story you never knew videos. Good work, keep it up
Robert Rhynes Thanks man! Always appreciated =D
3:09 Faith is the Catalyst haha :D funny, mirror's edge 2 will probably be named mirror's edge: catalyst
christian markl yeah I noticed too
christian markl omg those future telling skillz
Think he predicted the future.
Mirrors Edge is about rebels against a totalitarian regime. Very realistic story.
This one came out really fast, was not expecting it this week, nice job.
PastorGains Thanks man! We're on a 2 week release schedule now, so expect SYNK every other Thursday. The four of us were separated all summer which is why videos were taking a while. But no longer!
Treesicle Ikr It burt in like a god damn triceratops!
"we are not made for comfort, we were made for greatness"
7:06 - 7:24
Now I know why I really love this game
This is my favorite game ever, period.
I'm still re-watching this. Great video. It's no surprise that Catalyst still has the same theme as the first game. It's Mirror's Edge, it's supposed to have the same concept.
It's actually very good to play! Just like the first game, the environment, setting and style of it makes it's so good to play. Gameplay wise was improved for more user friendly for new players.

@@WingusJones same I also want to know what happend at the end while faith and Kate were in the shard

This is in my top 3 games. Cried at the end.
Omg I've just watched all of these and I'm a huge fan. You're hilarious and very well-spoken, it makes these things a joy to watch :D
Jack Perales we're glad you liked it :)
this guys great. I love how he mentions other youtube channels and the bad jokes
Big fan, keep the videos coming! Possible stories you never knew: Marcus Fenix, Sonic, Spiro the Dragon
Thanks for making me appreciate a game I loved already even more!
The soundtrack is divine
I request Kratos next!
Love your videos btw. The ezio one and Chief ones are my favorite...good amount of comedy and info.

Fantastic video! Amazing story, great humor!

DANG IT! Stop giving me the feels! I got it three times today!
I love how Icarus was her main rival in Mirror's Edge Catalyst
Anyone noticed that before Mirror's Edge: Catalyst trailer was released or even the game was confirmed that Treesicle said that "Faith acts as a Catalyst" Huh.
The story I knew, but forgot because I played the first game a while ago.
ii think you guys deserve to be a part of the Game Theorists
TShadow Gaming Wow thanks! Its awesome that you think that!
Brother Bear Agreed
I just found your channel and watched Master Chief's and Faith's videos. There would be great together!
Keep up the awesome work guys !
Awesome video ,like always
You sir, make really great videos. Keep up the great work, and now you have another subscriber. :)
This makes me want to play Mirrors Edge now :o
Jacknife: '' Faith sometimes you gotta jump!''
Faith jumps
You got a subscriber pal. I love stuff like this. Keep it up!
Now I understand this game more.
this game is awesome i cant wait for the second one
Amazing and great analysis!
Yes, you guys deserve more subs!
You guys are awesome keep up the great work!
TheLighth18 hey thank you
TheLighth18 ! =D
Also, you forgot the Mirror's Edge comic. Just thought I'd mention that. The comic IS canon and a pre-quel. The second game is based on the comic.
213213yoyo We thought about including the comic, but it didn't add much to the general themes of the game IMO. It was more of an interesting add-on to Faith and Kate's lives before Mirrors Edge. The themes were still there and the story was great, but with a 15 minute video we've gotta prioritize ;)
YAY!
this one actually got really meaningful
Kinda doubt that my comment will be noticed but you guys should do Far Cry 5: Joseph Seed, he's a very interesting antagonist.
like always amazing video you should have like 33 million subs you really deserve it :D
The Pvp Derp Gotta hit 33 thousand subs first ;) Just keep spreading the word and hopefully we will get there!
that's exactly what im doing :D
I thought he was going to talk about exordium, but whatever, this was way better
Omg, sooo beautiful, I almost cried
GArry DIxon this comment literally made my night.
I expected to learn something new.
I knew all of this.
You guys are awesome i had all my friends sub to this channel
Yb ok Wow, that's so awesome! Thank you!
You guys called it Mirrors Edge Catalyst before they did. Nice.
Great job on the video!
I love mirror's edge
"The story you already knew because the game tells you" should be the title
OMG! I LEARN MORE FROM THESE VIDS THAN IN HIGHSCHOOL!! 8D
What a fun game. Barely managed to play it, because I got motion sickness all the time while playing it. >_
Ah, I really loved this game
Yes! Loving it!
Aaron Craycraft Thanks Aaron! Always appreciated.
I just realized that the main girl is the sister of ezeo from assassins creed it makes perfect sense they both are good at parkour
this got me into mirror edge
Faith is the "Catalyst"... 3:09
I hope you remake this when Mirror's Edge: Catalyst is released, as it's more story-based from what I've seen.
I kinda want to play this game now.
Subscribed! good stuff.
Your so epic I only watched two bids and I subbed
Zelda Bros Awesome! we love hearing that dude!
I'm not broken. Prove it. #MirrorsEdgeCatalyst
i loved that faith plushie!! so cute
Next Mirror's Edge will be a prequel though
Nice vid ^^ liked it
Please do Solid Snake, i'l love you forever
Your videos are great! You should do one on Isaac Clarke of Dead Space!
Anthony Thibault As a huge Dead Space fan I've been wanting to cover him for a long time. He's high up on our list, I can promise you that!
Excellent, I can't wait!
Treesicle You're a fan of Dead Space!? PUT IT HERE, BRUH! *Super slowmo high five of awesomeness.*
Arbiterninja Then we jump into the air, pause and fade to black. then the credits roll
Treesicle So much yes.
*Is now super hyped for the inevitable episode on Isaac.*
