Proof of Console
This is Proof of Console, the show where we find an aspect of a video game or series and examine it through a mathematical or scientific lens to see just how plausible it is.
What sort of aspects are we talking about? Have you ever wondered how much actual money a golden Jiggy from Banjo-Kazooie is worth? Curious about how plausible space travel in Mass Effect is? Proof of Console is all about using real-world science and math to explain fictional things. No game is too complicated or obscure, and there will almost always be some definitive answer by the end of the video.
