Nick is just too damn good at storytelling. We need more history teachers like him. Screw the pc public school system and make learning fun again. Yes soldier on meth or if you want a really good pull at your heart strings story do Sargent reckless. Either way I know we are gonna enjoy which ever you pick. 😊
i do'nt know.... they are good, Devil Duck being my prefered one of the two BUT.... F15, the most gangster fighter jet Concrete Battleship Grand Theft U Boat are all really good.... and my personal favorite is: Winter Soldier OD's on METH
A lot of people think that the machine guns that Nic is talking about are assault rifles, but there were no assault rifles back then. Assault rifles didn’t appear until the tail end of WW2. The machine guns in this story are stationary guns, rotary guns, basically the 1800’s version of a Gatling gun.
My favorite is the Samuel Whittemore one. Guy is a whole mood. Reminds me of my family. I am 34 and I had great grandparents alive in high school… 3 of them. Those beautiful bastards had that same vibe of FAFO. My gunga, at 104 rode a dirt bike for the first time and obsessed over it. Sam Whittemore was the “I’m here to fuck and fight” version of that old ass energy. May we all ride into Valhalla on dirt bikes in our triple digits.
My favorite is Jack McNasty. I’m gonna tell you. It’s fun to go back watch his old stuff which is more short form I think no more than 4 minutes then see him start doing this style which is much more long form.
Just a note about Nick (The Chubby Electron Guy). He's currently taking college classes to get a degree (can't remember if it's a Master's or Doctorate) in history so he can change history books to put things like the stories he tells back into them. All of his videos are awesome. Also, small note about your videos, I find your volume to be very low compared to your intro/outro music. Keep up the great work.
I love how he starts this one with "make your prediction...200 kungfu vs 1 marine with a machine gun" with zero context... obviously a seasoned marine with a modern machine gun it would be over before it started... nothing really badass about that... but an inexperienced 18 year old marine with an 1890s machine gun is a bit different story. Also that Raiders clip is a bit misleading too... that character was 1 person flexing waiting for a sword fight... if you have 200 guys that thing bullets cant hurt them and so they have zero caution bumrushing you, its only a matter of time before the mass of humanity gets close enough... even a single machine gun cant put bullets EVERYwhere and will have a hard time catching everyone fast enough. So yeah, it was a very real probability that he'd get overrun by the kungfu guys...so it was badass thatnhe didnt.
