Oh I see how it is. Leaving me out. We'll see how things go once the crossbows come around.

I'm kind of curious, even if it looks a little too spreadsheet-y for my taste.

I do object to the choice to make you play supporters of King Stephen. I'm an Empress Matilda supporter for life. The game description says Matilda "believed she should rule", but Henry I picked her as his heir.

My partner and I are binging classic Film Noir (65+ movies in the past 2 months) and we always let out a cheer when we see his name in the credits. Big fan of the weird little guys he plays.

Best film noir?

Follow up, thoughts on noir films that were filmed in color?

At this point I'm not even really upset or annoyed by this, but it does make it feel like a farce.

How am I supposed to take professional feedback seriously when the different evaluators can't even agree on what they're actually evaluating?

Just feels like a box-ticking activity.

I would of course be remiss if I didn't mention that I wrote a book that I expect many who enjoyed this video would also enjoy. It even includes several of the crossbows covered in the video! Available from the publisher and most booksellers.
