A SUPER REPLY!
Kyle Hill from the Because Science YouTube channel recently made a video explaining how super strength would work far different to how it is depicted in comic books, movies and video games. In this video I share my thoughts and solutions to the problems he proposed.
The wattle and daub!
Why is the classic medieval style cottage made out of white squares and rectangles?
The big sword video!
Super massive giant swords such as Cloud's Buster Sword form Final Fantasy 7 and Guts' Dragon Slayer sword from Berserk are awesome, but what would it be like to use these swords in real life if you only had super strength?
Two for one!
Because many of my subscribers are aspiring writers with dreams of writing their own novel I like to help them out on occasion by reviewing their writing and offering constructive criticism.With this video I've also published a companion video where I talk about how you can tell if your writing sucks: https://www.y...
Asking the important questions!

A reply and my thoughts on reply videos
The YouTube channel Simple History has recently made a video on The medieval Knight and I would like to make a couple of corrections.
It's finally done!
This castle 3d model, Honorguard, has been a passion project of mine for a long time and now it's finally complete!I made this castle as a type of tribute to the awesomeness of historical castles and to design the best castle I could in terms of function, realism and aesthetics.The model was made in SketchUp.
The TRUTH about catapults
The Medieval Catapult is a very misunderstood siege weapon, so much so that most people don't know the difference between a Mangonel, Onager or a trebuchet. It's time to clear up the confusion.
The final part and the final FIGHT!

Where were all the watchtowers in medieval times?
Different to castles and fortresses, the military watchtower is a smaller military outpost and often depicted in strategy videos games and movies but what if they didn't exist in medieval times?
Let's unpack the quench!
The process of dousing a red hot sword blade after it's been forged, called quenching, and then the later tempering phase is one of the most crucial parts of making a sword, but why?Well in this video I'll explain this in great detail.
BUT WHAT ABOUT DRAGONS!
The dragon rider is one of the most beloved classic medieval fantasy tropes, because dragons are awesome, but it seems like most people haven't realized that swords and lances would not be effective weapons.
Here's how I make my sword pictures
