Nah it's just that people know more about World War Two than they do World War One. It was bigger.

People know more about original Star Wars because the prequels sucked.

If World War 2 sucked then people would know more about World War One.

World World 1 was complete garbage though.

Well, I mean how could it? It's not like there was some dictator somewhere that ordered the attempted mass genocide of an entire religious group just to establish racial superi--oh, wait.

In my history classes in middle & high school, as such classes tend to go, we didn't keep up with the pace the teacher originally wanted us to. So WW2 was always something that was skimmed over, if it was covered at all. I learned way more about WW1 in school than I did about WW2.

Am I the only one here who experienced this?

Yeah sorry. Hit all my usual gaming sites and like 10 trailers went up today. And I was like "The hell? E3 happening now?!"

So, of my 3 games that caught my attention from last year's E3 and immediately preordered:

Horizon: Zero Dawn - Gotta wait 'til next year. :mad:

Dishonored 2: This November. :D

Ghost Recon: Wildlands - Unknown. But pre-order bonuses recently revealed. :-\

ClockShot 06-06-2016 04:58 PM

Interested in the Destiny news. If that comes out in a timely manner, may have to convince some of my buddies to get back into it.

Jay Wilson fucked up pretty bad, and handled it poorly at that. Still think the toxicity of the gaming community, esp. Blizzard fanboys, are ridiculous with the threats and what not.

ClockShot 06-07-2016 07:00 PM

Hope Ubisoft learned their lesson from the first Watch Dogs. Concept was great, story/plot was really bad.
