Is he /ourguy/?
>muh modern war
No.
I thoroughly enjoy the channel and recommend it whenever possible. It's a great mix of good information, good humor, and serious moments that bring you back down to reality.
>>2075208
He does other history stuff too
i always wondered if there are any other channels like him
>>2075201
Been watching this all day to day. Its great. Just facts and anecdotes. Never puts his slant on things like Crashcourse did.
The end of the Tolkien episode was great. Overall good stuff
>the horrors of modern war ablohblohbloh
Yeah, we heard you first thirty five times nigger.
>>2075358
hmm... I was wondering when the pointless nitpicking would start.
Still, we got six posts in - /his/ is improving.
>>2075201
Is it just me, or does he look like a raging alcoholic?
I started this a bit ago, and I like it, but I didn't feel like the pre-war stuff was enough. There was like those two videos, and maybe I just didn't get it, but I feel like he makes it sound like a big accident and kinda laughs it off...
Watch the BBC's 27 part 'The Great War' on youtube instead. Tons of historical footage, replete with quotes from primary sources, and manages to convey a greater gravity to the conflict than Memey Nidel does.
>>2075201
Is it him or Battlefield 1 that's to blame for all these new 13-year-old WWI experts?
>>2077490
Definitely the video game.
It's fucking annoying as shit.
All cancer leads back to video games.
Video games were a bad idea.
I want off this ride.
>>2077490
Non, it's that WW1 is a hipster war. Everyone is bored of the dull WW2 where everything was rainbows and unicorns while WW1 was a *real* was with *real* horrors.
>>2077505
Everything I know about WWI I learned from season 4 of Blackadder.

Except his show also has both of those.
>Memey Nidel
Hurrrrr
>>2075201
I like him, wish he look at the Middle East theatre a bit more though
>>2077589
>Except his show also has both of those.
Sandwiched long shots of his face giving dull, uninspired monologues
>>2077441
Anyone in humanities needs to be a raging alcoholic to maintain their sanity, particularly with all the radical left and right wing bullshit being spewn around right now
>>2077921
Too true.
>>2077921
Nevermind even having to deal with radicals, just being even slightly aware of history and watching the news is plenty enough reason to drink.
>Are we seriously doing this?
>Again?
>Does anyone remember the last time?
>Nope.
>And we are doing this again.
>Fuck.

this post reads like something a redditor with an inflated self opinion would write
>>2078006
Your post reads like faggotry.
What's your point?
>>2078013
Are you now, or have you ever been, an active member of the website Reddit.com?
>>2078022
Fine, yes, I use reddit. What's it to you?
>>2078022
Senator Anon, I may assure you that I am not a card-carrying Redditor. You may have a look for yourself, I carry no such card sir.
>>2078024
GODDAMN FUCKING REDS! I KNEW IT! I FUCKING KNEW IT!
THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU ARE REDS!
>>2078034
Dude, fucking put on a fedora and relax. I promise you once that brim slips beyond your eyes and back up again you will never go back to this shitty site.
>>2078024
Better deddit than reddit.
>>2078040
What are you? Some kind of Pinko? Just because you only "browse" Reddit doesn't mean you ain't a bit Red!
>>2078051
Hey buddy I love Reddit. Browse it all the time. Dabble in the comments section. You know, a pun here, a pun there. It's good fun. A lot better than this greenfag KEKED website.
>>2078061
See you at the House Un-Chan Activities Committee, you're going on the List you Red sonofabitch.
>>2078070
4chan literally knows I'm shitposting right now.
>>2078082
Kek.
I hate him and Dan Carlin. I hate Americans talking about anything.
>>2077490
i converted to zoroastrianism after playing prince of persia.
>>2077488
So much this. Its better in every single possible way and has lots of primary sources, whereas Neidell seems to base all his episodes on 3 or 4 secondary sources.
>>2078022
Hardest I've laughed all week, thanks anon.
>>2077921
I had a sociology professor who got visibly upset whenever someone tried to talk about something being "right" or "wrong", and once sid that if that's what they care about they should take a course in ethics because we're here to deal with sociology, a social science whose result don't give a flying fuck about what you think about them.
>>2077511
im bored as shit with WW2 its like everything interesting is suppressed in my country (USA) in order to sell the state's narrative
>>2078061
You need to unironically neck yourself along with the other newfags (redditors, frogposters, /pol/, etc.)
>>2077921
I used to see falling into drugs and heavy drinking as a weakness, but I think I would've handled my studies around that insanity a lot better if I just indulged.
