How we check

Sources first

Every claim in a video is checked before a single pixel is drawn. Each episode page lists the sources we used.

Legends marked

Where sources disagree, the video says “about” or adds a star. Legends get a LEGEND? stamp, busted myths a MYTH stamp.

Made from scratch

Pixel art, music and sound effects are made from scratch for every episode.
