MRIXRT

**MRIXRT**, sometimes referred to by his real name **Moriarty**, or **M** for short, previously known as **CryMor Gaming**, is a YouTuber who reviews games and makes video essays about gaming

## History

### **The Doom Sausage Man**

On EFAP 40, MauLer, Rags, Wolf, Critical Drinker and Jay took a look at MRIXRT's video "**Doom Eternal Looks Terrible**," where he expressed annoyance at a claimed overabundance of bright yellow poles to swing from like Spider-Man, said that Doom Guy's new design made his arms look like sausages, though that the green armor flying off the enemies was money, noted there was lot of gore, and longed for the older days of *DOOM*. He also recalled playing *DOOM* VR and thinking the game would be slow and include fire extinguisher gameplay, and felt that the game should have just been called *DOOM 2*, though he did concede that he was biased. CryMor came onto the stream to talk about the video for a few minutes and had a good time (though Rags had already left by then). Drinker in particular related to MRIXRT's bad experiences with poles and sausages

### **The M & T Double-Retrospective**

Moriarty (M for short) came back onto EFAP 81 with Thought Theater (T for short), another YouTuber who had been covered previously. M said that EFAP's coverage of his DOOM video was actually relatively nice, and that there were other channels who covered him who were much meaner. Some of those channels encouraged their viewers to mass downvote the video, which is against YouTube terms of service, and his newer uploads were still being downvoted as a result. After wondering aloud whether or not it would also be against TOS to encourage people to mass *up*vote a video, the gang told the audience to *definitely not* go to MRIXRT's channel and thumb it up. Glib and Theo briefly joined for a conversation with M about DOOM Eternal, then the rest of the stream was dedicated to watching one of T's videos with him, and M's video "**The AHA! Moment & Why Superliminal Is A Bad Puzzle Game**" with him. Scrotums were also discussed

### vs *The Last of Us Part II*

Moriarty joined MauLer, Rags, ChaseFace, and MarkAfterDark on EFAP 110 to take a look at Dunkey's video "Discussing Last of Us 2 with Youtube Comments," where he responded to people's response to his *The Last of Us II*, making sure to intentionally choose the worst ones so he would have nothing of substance to argue against. They tried to respond in under 18 minutes as to not break the rule of taking longer to criticize the video than the length of the video itself. They took 4 hours. It was on this stream that the gang discovered the works of Method Actor Tom Honks

Afterwards, they washed the taste of Dunkey out of their mouths with another cooking video from a battle-scarred Tonald, where he fittingly made the Bigot Sandwich from *TLOUII*

### Another Mark Brown & Tonald Double-Feature

In EFAP 128, Moriarty rejoined the team from EFAP 90, in addition to fellow Mark Brown enthusiast Jay, to take another look at Mark's insights into how video games do things, specifically movement. Brown listed a myriad of things video games can do, but noted that his list of 6 things was not exhaustive, causing Moriarty to curse Mark's name and question his life choices. He similarly let out a "fuuuck you Mark" under his breath when Mark drew an arc over footage of Shovel Knight jumping to demonstrate what trajectory is, but then considered that they had judged him too harshly when he finally asked the question of *why* fun things are fun. This was shortlived, however, as the phrase "timing, naturally, tests your timing" drove Moriarty to absolutely lose it, and he ended up deeming this video more substanceless than the *Cuphead* one, with Rags adding that it had more inaccuracies. To wash out the taste of this video, MauLer followed it up with a video by Ahoy, who he described as the Superman to Mark's Bizarro, on the M1911's history in real life and in video games. The gang then cleansed their pallet even further with another Tonald cooking video, this time making a duck meal fit for Princess Zelda

### A Return to Cosmo

Moriarty joined late to the party in EFAP 234, but thankfully MauLer, Rags, Fringy, JLongbone, Disparu, Weekend, and Dev were watching an MCU retrospective by Cosmonaut Variety Hour, so he had missed nothing important since Cosmo would go on to both repeat and contradict his previous points. He witnessed Cosmo recount how he gave most of Marvel Phase 4 favorable reviews but now found none of them to leave a lasting impression on him, decrying them as all just being buildup for a future *Avengers* movie despite having earlier said that their problem was not building up a conflict with Kang more. At one point Moriarty and the gang became so disinterested in the video being watched that they launched into a tangent on the current landscape of Twitch, but eventually turned back to the video. Cosmo wanted better for the MCU because they're the biggest movies being put out right now and ought to be good, denouncing the idea that they can be no more than just dumb popcorn movies despite having said the opposite about *Star Wars*, then took the bold stance that people can like MCU movies and also like other movies too, which literally nobody disagreed with. Moriarty was reminded by this video of Mark Brown, but Rags gave Mark Brown more credit since at least the nothings he said were consistent

## Trivia

* He might have had bad experience with pole-dancing, which let to his hatred of poles
* He would not fight a chicken

## Quotes

* "You know the nice thing about watching one of Cosmo's videos is that even though I'm coming in halfway through I know he's just gonna repeat everything for the next several minutes so I'm still gonna get the full experience" - EFAP 234
* "You watch a video like this, and you sort of wonder like, what is the central point you're trying to make in a video like this? I don't know that he could even tell you what it is, cuz this is just jumping all over the place, contradicting himself constantly. It's like he sat down, got his Microsoft Word Document, just started writing his stream of consciousness, and then recorded it" <br> "Is this your first time with a Cosmo?" <br> - Fringy and Moriarty, EFAP 234
