In my day it was just Kaits and Fred yelling at each other about...everything, really.
Now Kaits doesn't even post.

I remember there was talk about sad video games here in the past; I think it was Verdun or that other WW1 one?
Anyways, here's a sad/painful rpg.

It's set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and you, Brad, find a baby that may just be the last woman on earth.
I think that pretty much explains the entire plot and howed up it can be. There's a lot of dark humor in it too.

Re: Barry's Bar
Funny enough, I'm pretty sure that the last time Kaits was here, he and I were actually on the same side about something, facing the rest of you down.
It was right around the time that the conflict in the Donbass kicked off.

On another note, our recent debate + the imminent release of CK2's "Horse Lords" expansion has prompted me to do some research on the Mongols, and I found this series of podcasts by Hardcore History's Dan Carlin, The Wrath of the Khans.
And yes, that is a five-part podcast which is total probably 9-10 hours in length.
I'm near the end of the first part and I'm absolutely mesmerized right now. I'd highly recommend it to any of you who have an interest.

Carlin is generally very good as far as pop-history goes! I've had a lot of recommendations from coworkers and friends but have not yet had a chance to get into it myself.

When you have a chance, the five links are in my post, maybe this weekend or something you could listen to one or marathon all five as I'm doing now

Robert would gallop up to the gates of Winterfell alone, break them with his warhammer, and ride through the rubble to slay Roose Bolton with his left hand and the Bastard with his right.

Who needs flawless history when you've got plenty of over the top Kung Fu battles?

Re: Barry's Bar
Yeah it's pretty great as a series. My favorite episode was the one with the Hashashin, half expected Altair to show up

Re: Barry's Bar
My favorite podcast is definitely History of Byzantium
Feel free to spread that around too, I think more people need to listen to it
Also good is History of Iran podcast.
I did find a podcast about the Normans (yeah, pretty specific), but the guy was.. hard to listen to..

Has anyone here played this, Expeditions: Conquistador?

It's pretty interesting, I just bought it like 2 days ago.
It's a CRPG, isometric; indie, so quality can be excusable.
But the historical setting is great, and so far, it seems to be completely realistic - no magic or anything.
You're the child of a lesser nobleman from Spain, and the king permits you, because of your father's influence, to lead a small band of adventurers to the New World.
You stop in Hispaniola first, and then later to Mexico, beating Cortes to the punchline.
I can't confirm since I'm only a few bits into it so far (still doing menial tasks for the Governor of Hispaniola), but the game's roleplaying elements seem to very much play off of the historical methods of Cortes and other Spaniards - divide and conquer, mostly.
You can ally with one tribe against another, you can use diplomacy, you can just shoot first, etc.
The combat, I'd compare to Fire Emblem.
