The hero everyone called for has returned
-
Imagine this guy grading your papers: "This is correct. I like it. 6/10"
-
I really enjoyed his university course “Digging Ditches 101”
-
7:03 Best reaction of the whole review - "Oh no, it landed on him!...Oh I hope he got his paycheck. Killed by massive flaming corn dog! Excellent work." The barely restrained glee, amusement, and sarcasm deserves a 10/10. I almost died laughing
-
YES HE IS BACK the man, the myth, the ditch digger!
-
He was so down with Spartacus until the bridges, after you disrespect the sacred ditch you are an immediate 1/10
-
I love this reactor. He sits and giggles because he is so knowledgeable, he can see what we cannot and then explains it. I thought I knew some things but he starts giggling because it is so utterly ridiculous (no ditches or jumping in front of defenses). Love it.
-
Whoever found this guy and decided that he would be a good idea to have on this channel, deserves a raise. I want a show where this guy gets drunk and just explains battles for like 100 episodes
-
Give this man his intoxicant of choice and let him rant about ancient warfare for hours. Straight dope, no edits.
-
"Killed by a massive flaming corndog. Excellent work!" Is right up there with "You can just throw rocks. They cost you nothing, they take no preparation and you throw them at people and they get hurt. It's great."
-
0:01 you don't need to be an expert to know that jumping in front of your own shield wall is basically getting impalled by both sides, right?
-
I'm so glad this man finally got his ditch - he looked so happy.
-
Battles on ice did happen. Famously, there was The Battle On The Ice. Profound stuff.
-
"I don't know what they were doing" - that's the entire Hobbit movie series
-
I NEVER got the thing where they always slather grease on stones for trebuchets, light them, and then fire them. It's a big rock. It does damage because you flung it a few hundred meters, not because it might be on fire. Plus that whole arrangement you'd just burn up the sling of the trebuchet really fast.
-
Listening to Roel re-emphasize ditches, I feel much better about the plan my D&D group came up with to contain three werewolf revenants... we were defending a house and surrounded it with pit traps containing silver-tipped spikes, while my character perched up on the roof with magic that could shove the wolves back into the pits if they tried climbing out.
-
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the key is to build ditches
-
Dad: You have to go to college, otherwise you'll be digging ditches for the rest of your life. Me without a degree: Safe from any attacking army.
-
I like how there are experts solely for formations, for archery, or for clothings and armor, and this guy just knows all of it
-
A pleasure to listen. He doesn't just make statements, he backs them up with tons of logical details
