I honestly didnt know that Vinci was a place and in the moment thought that Vinci could somehow mean Venice. Or something. It wasnt super smart.

I'll remind you all that the hundred years' war was actually 117 years long and that all things are not as they seem.
If you know a little bit about linguistics but not a lot about a particular language or the various names for a particular place, it's not at all implausible to imagine that, for instance, "Vinci" might be the genitive form of the 15th-century Italian name for Venice. It's not, but it's not that far out there.

I read a book on the 100 Years War about a year ago and I was a bit confused at the mention of Joan of Arc's illiteracy because I remember that the book quoted letters from her, but it turns out she dictated those, which makes sense.

EDIT: Also, you are more on-track than you think with dauphin/dolphin. In addition to being the French title for the heir of the throne, it's also the French word for dolphin.

And it's on the Dauphin's coat of arms too:

As a bit of a history buff when it comes to the early middle ages, I will say that nobody except history channel docs and Cracked.com articles actually call it the 'dark ages' anymore. I recommend 'The Inheritance of Rome: Illuminating the Dark Ages 400-1000', though be warned: despite a <700 page size, it's quite possibly the most dense book I've ever read in terms of pure info. Still really fascinating though.

Anyway, love these videos. The Mario Paint episode is probably some of the funniest poo poo I've ever seen. Can't wait till you two actually get to the 3d Marios. I hope it's soon.

"Best" part about this game? You're on an invisible loving time limit. Take too long to get to the end? Bowser won't be there, he'll just be relaxing on a beach somewhere and you get a generic "Welp, try to do it faster next time" and that's it.

You know, this game seems to be pretty good for what it is. It's a bit tedious to see it all at once, but I probably would've enjoyed working my way through it more slowly when I was younger. I probably would've learned some stuff I didn't know, and it was genuinely funny when talking to all the strange people around the cities. It was certainly better than Mario is Missing by a long shot.

Because, minus the time limit garbage, it is. I had fun with it as a kid, which is more than I could say about Mario is Missing.

For the record, the people in the past do give you items that you're supposed to give to others in the same time period. You press a button and it'll switch the active item in the top left corner and you get to continue learning what is needed to fill in the blanks.

So when people mentioned "if only I had ____ document I could tell you more" was there a way to bring them said document? I think maybe part 1 had a better example of this but I don't remember specifically what it was. Or like in this video the 2 guys who said they could tell you more a little bit later, in I think 1776. It just seems that if you needed to get all the answers from the game there are some missing.

The best part of these were how well-timed the thermal detonator appearing was to your guys' moods.

Also, came for the history lesson, stayed for the detonator, rated 5 for the Super Wicked Gross-O.

is that like a colloquialism cuz "wicked" as an adjective definitely feels East Coast. Then again you guys are from there-ish so that would make sense, just I haven't heard you guys use "wicked" as a descriptor before unless that term is actually quoting something else.

Yeah, a lot of people have said this:
1. i dont spend a lot of time looking at the back of nickels and I dont think many people do. Like maybe two people.
2. even looking at the back of a nickel and recognizing the big, super recognizable building that OF COURSE I know, you'd still have to care enough to read money which, again, no one loving does.
