This was by far the best one.
AbsoluteMercenary
Hell, I loved Social Studies and History because of Assassin's Creed 1 all the way to Black Flags.
KysExpress

TEN SECONDS!!!!
moosemilk
I was there!
MandaloreTheODST
As a 20 year old planning on being a history teacher this was 100% true for me as a kid.
Bgleason1997
My response probably would be Sabaton.
KaJuN
I love how Battlefield 1 has historical info on the loading screens.
cyberpunxie
MOHAA is the first shooter I played. "Powell! Check the door!" Good times.
AlabasterScarf
Frontline was the best fps ever. Prove me wrong.
wildcatfan4life
Call of Duty 2 taught me about Pointe De Hoc attack on D-Day.
snowy129
MASH is the only reason I know anything at all about the Korean war.
Danowar1990
Iron Maiden's Alexander The Great helped me pass a history test once
ArmBROgeddon
Clear the ramp!
ACEPILOT666
ITS STUCK ON THE REEF! ITS- *BAM Headshot*
Or10nSharkFin
30 seconds! God be with you!
GhostbusterGuy
I remember my teacher being suspicious of me when I used words like polarity and trajectory in 8th grade. I watched a lot of Star Trek.
robotnixon13
MOHAA is what I did rather than talk to girls in middle school.
SeekingSomething
That was one of the coolest games I ever played
uchytjes
I play paradox grand strategy games. I can probably give a better rundown of history since the fall of the roman empire than most people1/2
uchytjes
can of their own history.
ttop105
Patterson get those bangelors
thatwoodguy
I got a look at an F-16 at an airshow and rattled off the names and functions of various switches and he asked where I learned them and 1/?
thatwoodguy
pulled a copy of the flight book from "F-16 Fighting Falcon" from my pack which he looked through and said they got a few things wrong and
thatwoodguy
I said this book was based on the "Block 40" aircraft and he nodded
thatwoodguy
Then he looked at who wrote it and saw two people who instructed him were co-writers of the manual.
Ulthirm
Verdun... we started talking about the battle of verdun but i had already been interested by... being tramatized by the game and researched
Ulthirm
way too much about the actual events that i may have actually scared my teacher
TheCorporateMudkip
I did a report on the m1 garand in middle school because of medal of Honor games
snackmanistan
I did too!
Hybris51129
Did you have to sit with a administrator and get questioned about possibly shooting up the school afterwards?
TheCorporateMudkip
No because 13 years ago people didnt think anyone with an interest in guns wanted to kill someone
Valdien76
*CLING*
snackmanistan
This and watching all those documentaries on the history and military channel. You know...back when they actually had shows about history.
Hybris51129
I lived and breathed Modern Marvels and Tales of the Gun. Of course that was all that was on after Bill Nye end.
KingKat258
Kinda like when MTV played music instead of teen mom
BobaFettBobaFettWhere
Hi, welcome to my shit pawn shop that is history for some reason. Also Bigfoot
Sonicdahedgie
Pawn Stars at least started out good. It was a bunch of pieces of obscure history trivia blended into a show about running a business.
minipancho94
when it first aired it was a nice change of pace that still fit the theme a bit, but now that shit has taken over. was nice once a week.
Winstitutionalized
so many crappy reality shows about crap and half a day of bible mysteries and walking with jesus.
Thorudon
7th grade history, was the only one to get the extra credit question correct; Thank you South Park, for helping me remember the Enola Gay.
Fredfinks
took off from tinian. thanks jaws
BobaFettBobaFettWhere
Fuck you dolphin and Fuck you whale
ino84
"Chicken and cow?! CHICKEN AND COW?! FUCK YOU CHICKEN AND FUCK YOU COW!"
Thorudon
Actually, I might be thinking Freshman year. First history course in a new school, at least.
Britboy
Was the question which plane dropped the first atomic bomb?
Thorudon
The other, more commonly answered question (Could only choose one, and I am terribad with names.) was asking about Amelia Earhart.
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
Piloted by the notorious chicken and cow.
Thorudon
Something along those lines, yeah; It may have specified Hiroshima. When the teacher asked about me remembering, he had a good laugh. >
Thorudon
< Apparently, I was not the only one who had watched that episode the night before.
Ralphy07
Oh man I remember the original game guides! they would be 20pages thick with historical information
FinalFantasyTactics
override367
For me it was my extensive reading of the Civlopedia that made me a standout in history
Ralphy07
Yes, I learned so much random trivia about the monuments from civ. It's helped me win the board game "smartass" many a times
BlasserDuennerJunge
Uh cool, a very complex topic, witch went of 100 years in one game guide with 20 pages.
AGiantTransWoman
What? Not only does this not make English, but it covered the game and relevant game history. Old manuals were more like 30 pages.
NoseHolder
This makes perfect English
justforthisonecomment
My sweet summer child...
freezingpilot
And now, the guides are filled with DPS stats and other meta knowledge.
sparkylife64
I'm 26 and it seriously makes me feel old to remember this
Ralphy07
I'm right there with you man, 23 and I still remember the joy of reading all the COD and metal of honor guides!
DarthVadersBigBluePenguin
I'm 30. This game was dope Af.
TimVette
Dude Im 18 I remember my dad coming home with games where the inbox pamphlet was actually useful and not a folded page on controls.
sparkylife64
Those were the good Ole days
racpd
Dang I thought I could comment saying everybody was a geezer cause I'm 19, but you ruined it.
TimVette
Sorry
imheretostirthepot

imheretostirthepot
Went with BlueFangSolutions for DOI server hosting. Zero issues.
Mattsschnitzel
Shit dude can I get in on this DOI clan?
imheretostirthepot
We've got a private server on doi_harbor_01 for tryouts and matches. A pub server with coop setup.
imheretostirthepot
Our sponsor at https://www.Pro2Gaming.com is funding the servers and teamspeak for us. P2G is a parent clan for OBX (Obnoxious DOI unit).

TheRealStalinWhoIsStandingUp
SnibbleTiggits
AA will always have a place in my heart. If you play the revival edition, it still kicks ass. It'll never get old.
TheRealStalinWhoIsStandingUp
to me the sneaking around the sub pens was the best
samsonguy920
Sub pens were the shit. But that game finale still is the best game finale I have ever experienced in any game I have played.
WeedSmokingAlien
Medal of Honor Rising Sun is probably the next best one
Sonicdahedgie
That was the first video game I ever realized was bad.
DingleberryMcGee
My game would always glitch and one enemy would always throw about 7 grenades at once. There were no survivors.
Trojkan
I remember at the last mission on the aircraft carrier the soldiers glitched into airplanes walking around the corridors
nivekrolyat
Ah I remember playing multiplayer with my brother and my cousin, such memories I had of this game
Alavar
That fucking one shot pipe gun can't remember what it's called lol

Welrod pistol, still in service
nivekrolyat
The most overpowered thing in the game lol
Deathfrombelow
The ending of that game pissed me off. Like, really? You're gonna do it like that??
Winstitutionalized
i forget what happened?
Deathfrombelow
*spoiler* The main character finally catches up to his kidnapped brother on a Japanese ship, but the villain general still manages to get >
