On his main channel, he essentially uploads commentary videos on video games and sometimes music videos. Some of his video game commentary videos can be timeline explanations, through a series of videos called A Line Through T⌛me", where he visually constructs timelines through overanalysis and theorising. Moreover, some other video game commentaries are categorized under a series of videos called "Wasted Plotential", which discusses the wasted potential for a plot of a video game, TV show, or movie.
The4thSnake has a second channel called The4thSnakePlays, which is simply his less active gaming channel.
His content primarily focuses on Persona and Mortal Kombat, with other games and topics thrown in.
== Trivia ==
*His profile and name is based on Solid Snake from the Metal Gear video game series, one of his favorite game franchises.
**His YouTube banner originally featured red colored Solid Snakes, primarily from the Super Smash Bros. series.
*His favorite Mortal Kombat game is Mortal Kombat: Deception, something that he has recognized as an unpopular opinion today, but he continues to stand by his opinion.
*He hates NetherRealm Studios for what they have done to the Mortal Kombat franchise, particularly how they nullified the original timeline and how they retconned so many elements and wasted tons of potential.
**He also dislikes the Injustice series for making a similar mistake to the DCEU, in making the narrative too depressingly dark, and mishandling Superman's character. He did praise Injustice 2 for being the best NetherRealm Studios game in terms of the writing and gameplay.
*He dislikes Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, as evident from his gaming channel.
**He also dislikes DEATH BATTLE! and has briefly criticized the Smash Bros. series, both for how they are not very fleshed out crossovers, as they only focus on mindless fighting.
**Despite giving Super Smash Bros. Ultimate the game of December 2018, he did have many criticisms against that game specifically, particularly World of Light and the excessive cast.
*He also dislikes the idea of the multiverse, such as the Injustice series, because they wouldn't appeal to the fans of those characters.
*There was a running gag in his Mortal Kombat videos where he would constantly kill or torture Quan Chi. This is because he hated his portrayal in Mortal Kombat (2011), and considered him an idiot in the Midway timeline (the latter he enjoyed for how hilariously incompetent Quan Chi was). His hatred for the character later died down by the time of Mortal Kombat X, when other hatable characters such as D'Vorah started appearing.
**He has also famously hated Sindel in Mortal Kombat 11 for how she was a poorly made retcon from one of his favorite characters (to the point where he regularly calls her "Twindel" and has made a whole playlist about her), and Kronika for how terrible of a villain she is.
***His current Twitter banner references his hatred for Twindel, as it is actually artwork of him in a Dio pose from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure being placed to look like he is stomping on Twindel's head.
*His Misconceptions series usually has varying titles based on the game he is talking about.
**When talking about Mortal Kombat, it is titled "MisKonceptions." This is a reference to the MK abbreviation and the replacement of C's with K's in Mortal Kombat.
**When talking about Devil May Cry, it is titled "Dumb MisConceptions." The letters D, M, and C are capitalized to reference the DMC abbreviation for Devil May Cry.
**When talking about Shin Megami Tensei/Persona, it is titled "Missed Conceptions." This is a reference to the accuracy mechanic in the Shin Megami Tensei series.
**When talking about Marvel, it is titled "Marvellous Misconceptions." This is a clear reference to the word "Marvel."
**When talking about Metal Gear, it is titled "Misconceptions Gone Stupid." The title can be initialized to "MGS", the initials for Metal Gear Solid.
*He is also a fan of Fire Emblem, particularly Three Houses and Heroes, which is mostly evident from his Twitter.
**He also considered Fire Emblem Warriors a better game of September 2017 than Super Mario Odyssey (particularly due to Odyssey's confusing controls and his bias towards Dynasty Warriors games).
**He has complained about the lack of views his Fire Emblem videos get.
**His favorite character is Edelgard.
*He has mentioned this page on his channel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoQMIjhI3T4&t=507s
