What's /his/ opinion about the channel?
>>
>>1127823
>tv
>>
honestly it's fine. Nidel knows his stuff. posts very credible sources, and makes it entertaining to watch.
>>
/his/ loves it. Nuff said.
>>
I like the collabs they do with smaller channels, like with Inrange TV
>>
>>1127823
Just watched the latest episode. It's pretty great.
>>
>>1127829
Nicely is a sport historian, pretty sure it's the staff that knows the stuff and he's just the host. Sport historian is a cool job though.
>>
>>1127823
Great format, credible sources. Nidell is also a very enjoyable host.
>>
I prefer reading books.
>>
>>1128393
wow you are cool
>>
>>1128393
Hm. What's that?
>>
>>1127823
It's great. Simply put, there's nothing else like it, and it's well researched history.

Although, Indy can't pronounce C&Rsenal, which is definitely a minus when you're talking to the guy who runs that damn channel.
>>
I really really like it BUT sometimes they slide too much into the lions led by donkeys memery and being overly dramatic for the sake of being dramatic.
>>
kek, they just did a battlefield 1 trailer analysis. I'm pretty sure its gonna be the channel's most popular vid.

I really like that, but when you first get into the videos and binge what you've missed it can be pretty depressing hearing "THE GREAT WAR WAS HORRIBLE WAR IS HORRIBLE" every 15 minutes. At the usual weekly pace though it's great.
>>
>>1130095
I am on a binge right now and I think I've heard "resulting in thousands of death" so many times that it feels like a closure sentence
>>
>>1130138
In the long run it might be a good thing for us. It may be the best way to get it through our heads how horrible the war actually was.
>>
>>1130138
>resulting in thousands of death
but that's what happened. I do prefer to have actual numbers though. thousands could refer to 4000 or 20000.
>>
someone should email indy inviting him to /his/
>>
>>1130183
To what end?
>>
>>1130212
anger him
>>
>>1129945
I was disappointed when he didn't mention one way or another if female Bedouin fighters was bullshit.
>>
>>1130262
I think she was white, anon. She's some random ass European woman fighting in turks.
>>
>>1130262
I am glad he didn't
I just knew he would get flak for it if he even bothered to touch the theme, it was for the best
>>
>>1130262
Its not bullshit though. But the fact that DICE is focusing on a type of person that makes up 0.0001% of the people who participated in the war is blatant SJWism.

>focussing on exceptional people is SJWism
>>
>>1130297
DICE and EA literally announced their plan to focus on minority WW1 groups for Battlefield 1 for diversity sakes. You have to remember who is making this.

who
>>
>>1130322
A female in a predominantly male setting.
>>
>>1130882
How can fictional people be exceptional?
>>
>>1130283
I want a game that focus on actual representation of WWI participants, so there's a strong chance you load up the game and your a Chinese laborer building a road, or you're an Austrian just stuck on a series of trains, or an American who gets to France just in time to get sent back.
>>
>>1130269
Considering the game is made by cuck Swedes I was thinking the exact same thing.
>>
>>1130899
How can't they?
>>
>>1130899
This. That dude is a moron.
>>
>>1131013
They haven't achieved anything in reality and just having tits isn't an achievement, much less in a fictional sense.

Exceptional as in they are exceptions.

Because he was retarded. He itched constantly for a war against Serbia which would have resulted in a war against Russia, which Austria would have been BTFO'd, similar to what eventually happened. Now Austria is a fraction of what it was 100 years ago.

>That Dracula joke
indi pls

it's like an old iPad
>>
>>1131146
You don't?
>>
>>1130283
what? Video games do that all the time dog fucker. What percentage of soldiers do you think does snowmobile chases like in Modern Warfare or kills 7000 billion germans like Lt. Powell in Medal of Honor Allied Assault?

If the game's campaign reflected the average experience it would be pretty fucking short now wouldn't it dick cheese?
>>
>>1133431
Roach and Lt. Powell are fictional, generalized representative of all the soldiers in the war. They aren't based on actual minority groups who barely did anything that warrants a video game about them.
>>
>>1127823

It's okay, but his style and presentation gets boring after a while.
