Aww, should have left some more time for me to guess. I was gonna guess an early version of the MP44 for the first, and reserve my opinion on the second because you can't tell if it's bolt-action or semiautomatic (though, if bolt, it'd have to be a left-handed model). It does look very much like the Garand though.Major_Tom said:I cheated a bit, they were both just prototypes. First one is the StG 45(M), a successor to StG 44. The other one is a Type 4, a Japanese M1 Garand copy with some modifications (like the integral 10-round magazine).daveman247 said:No ideaMajor_Tom said:Alright, what's this?daveman247 said:The only thing i can think of recently was being able to recall the names of the ww11 weapons in a museum from memory alone. Thankyou medal of honour/ Call of duty
And this?
Trust somebody to pick the obscure ones...
Someone bought me this amazing PC game, with it I'm learning how to speak Italian.... wait Rosetta Stone's not a game?!
Agreed with both of you fine chaps, the detail in these games is what prompted the "must learn italian" crusade I'm on!Fiz_The_Toaster said:
Oh thank God! I'm not the only one that's obsessed with learning Italian after playing these games. I'm just glad that the books have a translation guide in the back so I can sorta learn as I go.putowtin said:
And classy, don't forget that! Bonus points for using musical terms for everything, makes everything you say sound more impressive that it actually is.putowtin said:
I, for one, didn't realize that Gahndi was a tyranical, blood-thirsty overlord, but Sid Meier's Civilization set that straight!
My personal favorite lesson from the ever awesome Mass Effect 2.

Keeping up with supply and demand, fulfilling the needs of a population and efficiently manufacturing goods is all what I learned from Anno 2070. A masterpiece of a game.
I'm surprised it took this long to find Dynasty Warriors mentioned. I've learnt so much from series it's unbelievable, plus it got me interested enough to read through the entire RotK novel, which is absurdly long, and look into the history behind it.Odbarc said:
Basically, the canon uses a lot of exaggeration and legend here and there, but you'd be surprised how much of it is grounded in fact.
I learned most of my Aztec, Iroquois, Roman, and German history through Civilization.
I also learned some basic about economics and business from World of Warcraft. Never underestimate the power of a servers economy in an MMO.

Vampire: The Masquerade taught me about Lilith. Never knew Adam was such a pansy. My dad was honestly surprised when I knew more about the obscure parts of the Bible (note I'm an atheist), than the priest he questioned about that ol' feisty first wife of Adam.
Assassin's Creed and Age of Empires taught me about history. The latter I played when I was younger so I got a basic knowledge, but often when I play the former I find myself researching specific characters. I was more interested after reading Mario Puzo's "The Borgias" and then finding them in AssCred 2. Additionally the many, many World War games probably taught me stuff; although a lot of it I knew already.
I think Rollercoaster Tycoon and such games probably taught me about money. As did Sims. I think you often learn little things from more games than you realise.

Age of Empires (the first two) taught me quite a bit of history and got me really interested in history.
cant say i learnt much from assassin's creed, most of the history is pretty basic, generic stuff.

Yeah, the Zorlaks really pulled our asses out of the fire on that one. It's gonna take forever to build that statue with seventeen torsos, though..No. said:
