Really enjoy your history segments and would love to see a later one on the Carnage Legacy I.E. The Homestead Strike and his charities. But what I'd most like to see next is an explanation of the video game industry's historical revenue streams and explain why I see so little in game advertising. I was waiting for a match in modern warfare the other day and wondered why reality based multiplayer games don't use Google like ad support to fund legacy or even current server use. How much would game-play be effected if KOLA was Coke/Pepsi and if the fake billboards were real consumer AdSense billboards. I mean with an actual usage based revenue stream incentivizing long term support couldn't lobby times get closer to the speeds of web searches.

I wish I knew how to fix that. :\ We haven't done anything different with this video compared to previous ones, so I hope it goes away. But keep me posted if it doesn't, I'd like to know if it's an ongoing problem.

Yeah. I have a crappy laptop. But it's weird because the older videos don't do it. /shrug

Plays fine for me on several computers. Is it still acting up for you?

One more series! Then we'll have new episodes every single week. <3

This sounds like it could easily have been written about 2008 than 1717. "Those who fail to learn from history are oooh DONUTS!!"

Does this video look choppy to anyone else or is it my computer? We should talk about the Hanoverian dynasty at some point on this show.
Joshua Rosenthal
Awesome episode, but the episode uses "Hollow Sword Co. Shares" instead of "South Sea Company Shares" on the little Share icon throughout. Mistake?
Christian Jensen
Sharp mind and no scruples, indeed

Woah. I'm only more and more impressed by John Blunt and his evil financial genius.

I sense many similarities between the monkey business of the South Sea Co. and today's corporations. I look forward to learn how this all ended.
Markus Berglund
Love this! <3
