I loved the reveal from the Q&A that Kyle saw the reaction to "Cease this!" and that's the reason he decided to bring the meme back and make it not funny. But not as much as I loved the whole episode. And I love authors turning jokes into sadness very much.
Honestly , i'm a bit lost in the story lol. Victor is leading a rebellion group that kidnaps peek refs? Or did i understand that completely wrong? The qhole part where its black is a bit confusing to me. And why do we see him parachuting to another island? Lol, i should have rewatched the previous eps. Kinda lost with all these island names
Well, Kyle wanted more speculation to read in the official Box Peek Forums, so
Victor got himself caught on purpose because he wanted to be exiled to Bonefield Island. The last time we saw him, he tried to get a new box because his porter had been taken away after he went on a losing streak.
He also wants to break the Box Peek Organization's stranglehold over box peek and give the sport back to the people.

Victor getting himself exiled on purpose is spelled out in the episode. Although in two short sentences while the screen is dark so you may not get that it's Victor talking amid all the confusion surrounding the Observers.
Victor doing it to get a new box is speculation. I don't think we know the location of the Basement Fortress or the acid pit where defective boxes are taken to be destroyed, so either could be Victor's destination on Bonefield Island.

Toaster Strudels are better than Poptarts:

Kinda Funny had the same conversation on the most recent Gamescast.
Kyle has to be completely aware that the vast majority of people think Toaster Strudels are clearly better. I think he enjoys going against the grain.
Toaster Strudels are garbage because the only good flavor was the chocolate one and no stores around me carry it.
After checking out Soul Silver, I'm really glad Kyle and Brandon picked the original Pokémon Silver over the remake. The graphics in the remake look wretched, good lord. Whoever said Soul Silver would look better for the stream needs to look at that game again. Nintendo DS 3D graphics are not pretty, they never were and definitely won't be when blown up by an emulator.
This opinion is more cancelable than MinnMax and Kinda Funny chiming in on Poptarts vs Toaster Strudels.
Just imagine: We could have Tootsie following Branman around everywhere if only Kyle had picked HGSS.
The movie loosely follows the story of Dragon Quest 5, but at some point reveals that the movie is actually a kid playing Dragon Quest 5 video game in VR, and it kind of peters out after that. Some read Patrick Duffy in the shower bullshit that trivialises anything that came before it.
Agreed that this is a really nice review. I am currently working my way through FFXIV (just about to reach the first expansion! ) thanks to Damiani's Shadowbringers review so will probably pick Luigi up in the Spring. Blood's review of The Outer Worlds has also encouraged me to get that sometime in the future though I am thinking of waiting to see how the Switch version turns out.

I honestly don't know how people still don't get the Pop Tart versus Toaster strudel thing.
You always know what you're getting with a pop tart. Go ahead and look forward to it. It's what it says on the box.
A toaster strudel is a variable experience. Could it be great? Absolutely. However, you're already running late for school and you realize that your greedy little sister used two frosting packets on hers. Then, when you bite into your unfrosted strudel, you realize it's still frozen in the middle and you're already on the bus. Everything is screwed.

I have never had a Toaster Strudel nor a Pop Tart, but it's pretty easy to understand that toaster strudel means a game that is popular and hyped but might not end up being actually that good and pop tart is something that isn't getting the attention it deserves and could prove to be better than most people expect.
Kyle is a troll and likes that people get upset at the notion that poptarts are better. This is the dark prince of nerd media after all and there is not anything else to read into it.
Poptarts being better than Toaster Strudels isn't a Kyle thing. Blood agrees with the metaphor. And Blood is never wrong except when Kyle calls him out for being the dumbest Ally.
When Kyle came up with this bit I wonder if he thought people would still actually be talking about Pop Tarts vs toaster strudels as if it's an actual debate years later.
They both have their strengths. But I'll take the ease of a room-temp brown sugar and cinnamon Pop Tart over the work required for a warm Toaster Strudel any day. So for me, the metaphor works: Pop Tart is a game you know will give you exactly what you want, whereas you might have to work a little harder to like a Toaster Strudel.
Another huge negative for toaster strudel is that sometimes they don't give you enough frosting or you don't manage it well and you end up left with plain, gross tarts
You described them both perfectly. Pretty remarkeable for someone who hasn't tried either.
Yeah, but the bad thing about a pop tart is everything. There's nothing good about it.
I'm sure this has already been brought up, but whoa! It's a Box Peek game made in Dreams!
Maybe a Genomster game is next!

I know Kyle's said he doesn't really care about the amount of views Box Peek gets, but somehow/someday I hope it gets that weird treatment that some videos on YouTube do where episodes end up in every single person's recommendations through the magic of The Algorithm™.
