Lindybeige is the guy that got me into this entire cluster of channels. :D
Scipi same dude
i love the guy but you just cant take his information seriously he is so biased
Captain Dickmann for me it was Skallagrim.
Skallagrim for me too.
That's the thing, though. It's hard to be interesting and objective at the same time. Usually, people are the most passionate and interesting when talking about something they either love or hate and don't particularly care about being objective. Which is one of the reasons he's so entertaining.
Lindybeige is my favorite fashion channel
BEIGE!
Fac Totum und Feivel Hahahahhahhahahaa
Yes, i only wear beige now aswell
Yes. His video on how to make your own beige shirts is just brilliant.
This is how you recognise Lindy viewer :D
*slowly starts unscrewing my pommel * careful boy careful.
Ahahahaha
this comment was done 22 hours ago, and i bet you are still unscrewing that pommel
This is great.
Ahhhhh ye auld end him rightly reference. I heard it first from Matt Easton, then Skall, then Lloyd. One day, I hope to be watching the news and have someone reference it, on the sly. That would instantly become the best day of my life (Matt sent me here just the other day, love this channel; whether he's being all dramatic, or he's being all super-Italian, I'm down either way)
GLATT MASMAS many a tread think of it as a failsafe kinda like arming a nuke.
Everyone likes Lindy... well, everyone except the FRENCH!
But that's all right. for No-one likes the French.
nope :D
Ruben Fernandes it's every englishman's God-given right to hate the french
Well i'm french and i like Lindy !
It's a joke. He plays a stereotype. When we say we hate the French, it's a joke. Stop taking everything so seriously.
I want a sparring match between Lindybeige, Skallagrim, Metatron, and a few others.
Tyler Garrett free for all, no respawns

Skall would have to wear stilts.
Tyler Garrett you have forgotten Matt (Scholae Gladiatoria)
Tyler Garrett RUclips royal rumble.
Okay, haven't watched yet. Don't see many shitstorms in the comments, so I'm assuming you don't hate him.
Jacob Furrow yeah those were my thoughts. :)
Jacob Furrow Yeah, I looked at the like to dislike ratio and thought to myself "whew... that was a close one. It could have turned ugly there."
I find that good people tend to like other good people, even if they disagree with them.
+Poldovico Content creators, especially in public mediums like youtube, are normally very friendly. I expected he would say nice things about him, and was not surprised to find that the case.
Hans Smirnov same, I expected a civil gentleman
lindybiege is the father of historical RUclips channels and I love his videos and his style , he reminds me of a fun teacher ,he holds your attention .
William Stanway totaly agree I had a history teacher like him Mr Newbury, but sadly only had him for a year because he retired due to illness, respect to you sir!
Wilhelm what you’ve just said was probably one of the best ways to describe lindybiege and I couldn’t agree more
Lindybeige is a very good Lindybeige, the best Lindybeige of all the Lindybeiges.
thats the absolute best way to describe him
Not as good as lindybeige though
He is the beigest Lindy of all the Lindies. He is also the lindiest beige i suppose.
*insert Yosemite Sam voice here* “I’m Lindybeige, the Lindiest Beige that ever Beiged a Lind.”
Yes yes , but will it spandau?
If by spandau you mean end him rightly? Then yes (now let's see how many people know what either of us are referencing)
joe kurtz omfg I got so triggered by that video. tbh it was kind of shameful, but I still stand by that he was completely wrong
I think the real question to ask here is "but what about dragons?"
Flibbity Gibbit not to flog a dead horse be he's not actually wrong. Bren's are brilliant and are perfect for assaults. it is a more accurate gun than the Germans MG guns. That said, capacity and suppressive ability is great of the MG, but belt feed guns like the mg 32-42 are awful for poor trained soldiers as they are prone to damage the gun box mags have the advantage that it forces good fire control. and everyone's carrying spares.
Only if there are Frenchmen.
"Is LINDYBEIGE a Good Content Creator?"
Do I smell RUclips drama?
"So would I recommend Lindybeige and his channel to my subscribers?"
*wiggles in anticipation*
"Ab so lutely without a shade of a doubt."
EYYYYYYYYY.
Not gonna lie he phrased that title in a bad way like is it good and a question like implying he thought he wasn't
@@striker8961 Yeah, it's definitely a tad misleading whether it's intentional or not.
@@striker8961 I thought the same and clicked this channel expecting many dislikes. Right after I saw the lots of likes, I knew the topic was yes.
@@striker8961 that's called click bait. Pretty slimy
A difference that I noticed between Lindybeige and you or Matt Easton is that Lloyd will talk about anything that catches his curiosity and interest after gaining a little background knowledge. He gets some background in the subject, maybe experiments a little or tries things out for himself, or pulls from other somewhat related things he's read or seen, and draw his conclusions based on that and his own logic. You and Matt (and Shad) are more scholarly. You guys have intimate knowledge on certain subjects, and I would guess have studied more primary sources, which leads to some really interesting conversations which would never have happened if Lloyd hadn't stated his own theories, right or wrong. Lloyd goes with what makes sense to him (the man's very good at reasoning things out) while other similar channels (Metatron, Scholagladiatoria and Shadiversity) tend to be more research based.
I probably like him because he's like me with charisma
I believe that Lloyd has been an historical advisor for films in the past, so would be fair to say he's just as educated as Matt or Metatron.
I'm gonna backtrack here a bit and say that Lindy has done a lot of reading. Also, how has my random (and honestly kinda flawed) comment from 3 years ago suddenly getting replys?
@@asiansensation622 Haha, the magic of the RUclips algorithm!
@@devalt1 The man isn't educated, he literally made a video on fire arrows, explaining why they're a hoax, when evidence literally points to who and where they were used.
I'm curious what you think of Skallagrim? -Insert pommel throwing joke here-
"Is LINDYBEIGE a Good Content Creator?" No, he's a awesome content creator!
"An" awesome content creator... Lindybeige is a staunch grammatical purist!
Lloyd works in mysterious ways.
9:18 "Momentum" is another word to say, Raffaelo. "Lose my momentum".
Thanks!
I would have said "Lose my train of thought"
Metatron Lose track?
I think a more direct translation which is valid is "lose the thread"
perdere il filo is more "losing my train of thought" by a fellow sicilian :)
They say the new youtube algorithm prioritizes daily unloaders, which leads to content creator fatigue. I hope your not running out of ideas!
Impossible, I have a list of to do videos in mind that could last me for years! And for the fatigue....I have the discipline of a samurai and a Roman soldier put together :D
And the modesty too! ;)
didn't you mention before about reviewing a movie that you were going to do?
+Metatron
G'day, oh effusively & excessively Feathery Funnyman...!
You should probabbublie consider the point that, while you may have an apparently endless list of topics upon which thou might wish to pontificate..; the self-imposed stricture of uploading daily has meant that at least 3 or 4 of every 7 of your Videos are boring and formulaic as Batshit to watch, especially as you extend the waffling empty meaningless "Preamble" before you begin to discuss your "Brainfart-Of-The-Day".
(I paused at 1:29, to write this, & I won't be going back in to wade through whatever the fcuk you finally decide you might like to suggest because like everybody else who watches Lindybeige - I *KNOW* that he's a GREAT Content-Provider.
Ask yourself some Question which matters, perhaps....; next time...
For you to fuck around with a self-serving Clique-Baity Title/Subject, such as this, simply proves that you are clearly *FAILING UNDER PRESSURE* ; & therefore making yourself look like an arrogant hubristic Dickhead, because it's self-imposed pressure, driven by your own ambitious Ego..., which is kinda sad to observe.
So, pull your Head in, please, & go back to 2 or 3 Uploads per week, on topics which you CARE sufficiently about to make a watchable Video about ; and stop looking like a "pointscoring" Try-Hard Wannabe, every day of the week.
Because, you're right on the point of becoming a Carricature of who you're trying to portray yourself as being.
So, back-off ; before you fuck up, entirely!
Just(ifiably ?) Sayin' ,
Take it easy...
;-p
Ciao !
Metatron Over arm spear or under arm spear?
You are both really good at making fun of inaccuracies. LindyBeige likes to make fun of the movie Helen of Troy lol

VIKINGS !!!
lindy is great. He rambles like a mad man, and i love it.
Lindy is a true Renaissance man and i love him for that. Hell, he made me watch a 20min vid about making ropes and i enjoyed it!
13:05 No, Metatron, you won't see us. It's the other way around :P
"loose your train of thought" is the expression you were looking for.
Thank you!
Pumpal "Lose your train of thought"', actually :)~
This! and to carry it a bit further: This ability to say what you mean effectively with little to no breaks is called "articulation". :D
Lets not be pedantic Gentlemen, such close attention to a persons( minor ) mistakes merely casts you in a bad light. To such critics i might say" how fluent are YOU in a foreign language and are you " expert"" in it???
yeah, but if you grew up thinking of a speech as a thread (filo), when you're talking about the speech itsaelf, no matter how much you practice, that's the image thet will pop into your mind, not a train (at least if you don't spend months without talking in italian)
How he dyes and cuts his shirts, lindy hop, salt, police work, sci-fi ideas, poetry... The guy can make *anything* interesting! :O
We want your opinion about FilthyFrank TV. That's some quality content.
We miss papa Franku
he's italian, he's genetically programmed to find him hilarious.
@@tafazzi-on-discord Idk man, what that man did to ravioli could be considered a warcrime
@@isaakwang750 Ravioli, ravioli, what’s in the pocketoli
@@scottydu81 it’s just a prank bro
Lindybeige is awesome... his only problem is that he's too "British minded ". Especially when he speaks about politics/britain, he's an absolute facepalm. As an Italian driving in the UK, when I saw his video about the advantages of driving on the left handside I seriously tought "how can such a cultured person seriously think that ". Been driving on both ways for 1+ year. Absolutely no noticeable difference. And then when he stated Britain had nothing to do with Europe... It's not about opinion, he just didn't make any sense.
Alessandro Mangiapia road safety has many factors it's not just about driving on the left or right
or not.
And Britain is extremely different to European countries
I think it's to do with his own sense of British humour. I, as a Brit, find his jokes hilarious because it's something that is at least somewhat relatable due to my British heritage. If you're not British and/or have never been to Britain, you'll probably be thinking "what's this nutter going on about?" To conclude, I think he's more geared to us Brits than anyone else, although anyone can like his content and get a good laugh.
Also, the fact that he's patriotic isn't all that rare: every country has people a lot more patriotic than Lloyd, so I don't think you should be put off than that.
@@appleyanimator6541 i love Brits
Or that time when he argued that the english language is somehow the most efficiently organized language in the world.
It wasn't a joke, it's wasn't an opinion. It wss simply inaccurate based on both the standard he used in the video and anyone else's.
I rate lindybeige a spandau/10.
Alma Shade i rate him a fire arrow/10
I rate him 10-a wrong leaf /10
+Random Whiterun Guard i used to rate Lindybeige like you, until i took a fire arrow to the knee
id give him a churchill/10
hes human and he isnt perfect. But he is very clever, quite knowledgeable and very entertaining. Hes not right all of the time, but no one is. I would say that for the most part he really does know his stuff.
How dare you, Loyd is a god among men, and all must serve him
Even when he is wrong, he fulfills a very important task, which is to ignite discussion. And he does that very well, possibly better than any other youtuber in this niche.
The Lindytron has spread his wings
As you are the linguist of the Medieval Mythbusters here's a question for you. In Planet of the Apes they still speak the same English language (or French in the novel) after a thousand years. Would a language be recognizable, or at least understandable, after so long?
from my limited knowledge of language trough history i would say not understandable and really few recognizable, just look at old english/french middle english/french and modern english/french it didn't take that long to change drastically especially if you go check the difference between old and modern english/french
Medicinaqueequilibra Ancient Greek is similar to modern Greek, but the vocabulary is a bit hit or miss though, with how it has changed.
I can recommend you the Nier OST. The producer asked the singer to sing in Italian, French, english (and maybe german) but not in the todays linguages but to imagine them in 200 years on a devastated planet. It's very interesting because, as a french, when I hear the track "grandma", the song is meant to be sing in futur french. I can recognize the tone and I think I recognize the words but without even being able to recognize th lyrics. That's a really strange sensation to live, always under the impression to have the lyrics on the tip of the tongue but never able to understand it.
If there isn't too much contact with other languages, yes, could be. If you look at written modern and medieval Icelandic, there are a lot of similarities still. It's more like dialects of a language really. Grammar and vocabulary have changed, but not so very much. I'm no native speaker of Icelandic, I just learnt it on an exchange year, and with that alone I could gather information from old Icelandic texts even before I started studying Scandinavistics. It's very different in central Europe where there was constant language contact with all sorts of language families. Icelandic usually had contact with other Norse languages so there wasn't that much input and exchange. English is the exact opposite, with its Anglo-Saxon, Norse, Latin and Norman/French influences, my professor always affectionately called it a "bastard language".
If you read Chaucer or Mallory you'll get a good idea of how much English has changed in the last 600 years. You can probably understand the general idea of what's being said, but you need to really sit down and take some time if you want to parse everything. There'll be minor gramatical differences, very different choices of what vocabulary to use, and many words will have completely different connotations, but there's enough there to figure out the differences by context clues. Of course, English has two the rather unique problems that most other european languages don't: (1) when the Latin alphabet was first applied to it, English phonetics fit the Latin alphabetical model pretty poorly, and there was yet to be an agreement as to how to adapt the spellings, so most words had multiple spellings...and authors of the time saw it as a sign of skill to be able to spell the same word in as many different ways that vaguely made sense with how it was pronounced as possible...but that would presumably not be a problem if they continued to use the existing spelling norms and only changed them as they changed naturally. And (2) English had a huge shift in pronunciation (The Great Vowel Shift) between the 14th and 17th centuries. This would make listening to someone who lived before or during the shift seem like they had a thick accent...but makes the spelling we did settle on make a little more sense in light of how they used to be pronounced being more similar to the romance language interpretations of the letters.
1000yrs would be more significant, but mostly in the vocabulary, not the grammar. The Danish vikings had already simplified away most of Old English's case and gender system long before then, so the grammatical changes between then and now were pretty much the same as between Chaucer and now, but a lot of English's vocabulary came from the Normans, and they hadn't been on the island long enough for their words to filter down into vernacular speech: you'd be able to understand a lot of the words they used, but you'd have to limit your vocabulary to one of germanic origin to be understood yourself.
Then there is another consideration: the rate of change in language decreases with higher literacy, inter-connectedness and exposure to media, so future changes would likely be less than past ones unless.
TL;DR if English's history is any indication (though it has admittedly changed far more than the average for other languages in the same period), you would probably be able to understand some English in 1000 years, but only with active effort.
Metatron start some drama beef with lindybeige
+James Atherton metatron big channel over a million subscribers
Jack Douglass, is that your alt?
James Atherton LOOOL XD I'M DYING not hating but... meta (debunking) is like a not-swearing leafy =]]]]]]]]]
*Hey whats up guys, its scarce here*
Drama beef?
Lindybeige is very entertaining generally, and when he's on his game he's fantastic.
been subbed to Lloyd for years. metatron, lindybeige, skallagrim, scholagladiatoria. love these channels.:)
What about dragons?
I love both your channel and Lindybeig.
Thank you so much for showing all the extra edits. I didn't realise you were saying 'noble ones' until I heard it repeated multiple times. I've been mishearing it as "number #1's"
I have subscribed recently after recently coming across and watching a load of your videos. I have a lot of respect for how you articulate your videos! Such fantastic knowledge and I have really enjoyed watching them! The way you went through getting the phonetics right just proves your passion. Loving the channel!
It's interesting that you brought up Lindybeige; I discovered your channel around the same day that I discovered his, and after a while ( I usually watch several or multiple videos from any given content creator before I decide whether or not to subscribe to their channel) I decided to subscribe to both of you around the same time. I did notice how he has the amazing gift to converse on many different subjects for long periods of time, and not only that, but also to keep the viewer/listener intrigued in whatever he is explaining and also be entertaining, all at the same time. That is a quality I've always admired in people, and especially so if they happen to be teachers or educators of any kind.
I got to this channel from Metatron's response to Lindybeige's video on Chinese characters. I'm definitely glad I did.
Why is it that we are persuaded to listen?
Just being good isn't enough.
I seriously enjoy his videos and the diverse topics he covers. He not only covers ancient history like you and several other topics, but he also covers time periods like World War 2 and what goes on in them like basic info that is not really apparent. For example, what is the composition of a platoon? The number of troops reaches an average of 30 because that is usually the maximum number of men that you can get to know personally to work as a cohesive and familiar unit. Too few men is not as effective while too many men would decrease the efficiency of the leader's ability to command his troops. It is all fascinating information.
Archive 405 That's good, but that is pretty much basic knowledge for anyone who's been involved in military.
Archive 405 But most of people are not involved in military. I love the manner he speaks about stuff, and the way he goes offtopic just feals naturall to me.
If Lindy stuck to really basic information you could find with a google search or with reading a decent book, he would be fine. Instead, he loves talking about things he is ignorant of, which is probably the reason for his extreme confidence.
Lloyd is a very clever guy and always has an opinion which is a rare quality these days as too many people sit on the fence and are too worried about offending and not being PC - I cant say I agree with all of his opinions and do find him just a tad jingoistic at times, but I guess that's part of what makes his channel entertaining.
Now I want to see an outtake compilation video. Those outtakes brought a genuine smile to my face
You are becoming better and better in each new video also! I've been loving all your videos lately!
I love Lindybeige, and I've been watching him for a long time. Lindybeige, Skallagrim, and Matt Easton were my introduction to HEMA, and also how I discovered you, Metatron, and Shadiversity, and many others. Thank you for the entertaining video, and the behind the scenes look at your method. I salute you.
You may as well change the title to "Lindybeige is a good content creator". The whole video was baaically you praising him, and rightfully so!
a little clickbait is fine... maybe even neccecary.
We gonna want outtakes at the end of your videos from now on :D
I first came across your channel when you made the video you mentioned, the Pilum response to Lindybeige, whom I had been subscribed to for a year or so at that point. I thought you made your point very well and I subscribed to you too, you're both two of my favourite youtubers, always happy to see one of your videos in my sub box
'to lose your train of thought', an English expression that means that you've forgotten what you were going to say.
Also to suffer a "Brain Fart".
7:14 "A topic that I am completely uninterested in... and I still watched the entire video". Yup, he's nailed it. (Exits humming the Mandeville March).
been subbed to both of you for a long while. love both channels.
I'm subscribed to your esteemed channel, Mr M, as well as Lindybeige (wot a silly name) and Matt Eastern. Wonderful content- I love you all for providing, well thought out and erudite stuff. And for that, I thank you. Flaxen Saxon.
I really like Lindybeige, my kind of guy.
Aye, I just find him entertaining to listen to.
best channel. even better than bruva alfabusa
Baron Lynchhausen FOR THE EMPRAH
He makes great and entertaining content, but he is not always correct in what he says (but who is).
demomanchaos might be because a lot of his stuff isn't necessary true or false, it's a matter of opinion and interpretation of things. Not to mention rants for no obvious reason.😅
Some of the things he claims are facts aren't, and he is highly opinionated (with a heavy Pro-Brit bias). However he is at least upfront about his bias and I suspect some of it is exaggerated for comical effect. Most of the time you can accept what he says as truth, but he isn't infallible..
If you never make mistakes, you're playing it too safe.
As Metatron says, considering the variety of topics that Lindybeige talks about (and has good insights on), his accuracy rate is pretty good.
Anyone who isn't normally correct in what they say shouldn't dispense information. The information Lindy gets right is generally obvious. And when he speaks ignorantly about other cultures, languages, or the Holocaust, it is delivered with incredible arrogance.
J Corbett yeah, actually, I have just discovered that this particular video has been disabled in Poland. Pretty sure it wasn't about any soundtrack...
I'm already subbed to him and watch him fairly regularly. But this video just made me appreciate him even more, i didn't even realise that he doesn't use jumpcuts. Thank you Metatron, for making me appreciate his great channel even more, you're the best :)
Saw this in the sidebar and I thought I'd check it out. Nice opinion video about Lloyd (I'm a subscriber to his channel), and your English accents towards the end were a surprise and quite natural sounding. You should make a video in one of the English regional accents just for a laugh.
That point about his lack of jumpcuts, and his superb flow is exactly the reason I watch him.
Unless he's ranting about things he didn't do any research about he's very good
agreed
That doesn't leave much.
František Zet When has he done that?
i have found his research on star wars lacking...
His sterling engine episode made me grind my teeth as physicist .. i think i sheded half a pound of sand ...
What's great about Lindybeige is his ability to make any subject he talks about interesting. He's amazingly charismatic and articulate. He even manages to make the sponsor advertising spots entertaining. What a guy!
You should do outtakes on your videos, with funny bloopers at the end. I love it when movies include blooper reels. Not many RUclipsrs do that. I wish more would.
Lindybeige is kinda like those type of teachers everyone used to love in school, he has a great talent for storytelling and doing so in an informative way. He can talk for half an hour without cuts and keep you interested for its entirety. The reason I'm subscribed to you has to be lindybeige ;) (I think he linked to skallagrim and skallagrim linked to you, atleast in my youtube suggestions).
I was expecting him to wreck Lindybeige lol
PS.: It's not that I don't like Lindybeige, but Raffaello makes videos with acid criticism very often.
It would be unpolitical serving the same crowd. He was partly venting his frustration that, surprise, a professional linguist often misses the ease of a native speaker, dooh.
Vitor Emanuel Oliveira
It feels like Lindy gets dumped on by the community a lot. It's nice to see him getting some honest praise.
Don't think that it's easy just because he is native, I have made videos in italian, it's still very hard to do what he does.
Fantastic! Love Lindybeige, watched his "English" video then your response and thought both were interesting, thought provoking and you made a subscriber of us! Looking forwards to more content from you both.
Thanks from Paul and Andrea.
More bloopers! I think that at the end of you first year of daily upload you should make a special bloopers
Me: "I'm really not that interested in ladders. Sure I have a couple in my garage and they're useful tools and all but that's about it."
Also me: **watches Lyndybeigh talk about ladders for an hour without blinking**
Lindybeige has one flow: he's overpatriotic and defends "the British way" when it is not even ofended, by ranting about superficial stuff such as driving on the left side is the best (because England) or the plugs that Malta uses are bad (again because England) etc :P
I've watched just about all of his videos and I never really thought about the brilliance that goes in his videos. Mind blown. You sir, get a Subscribed.
I found you in my recommended after watching one of his videos. That was a year ago and Iv'e been subscribed ever since
I love Lindybeige - he was one of my first subscriptions, actually.
Your accent literally sounds like a fusion between authentic english and italian can't say I've that type of accent before
It's funny because both you and Lindybeige started showing up in my recommendations at the same time, several weeks ago. I've been watching both your videos more than any others over the last while.
Subscribed tonight! I discovered your awesome channel via YT autoplay following Lindybeige's discussion of Roman tactics during the Punic Wars which led to your dissertations on Roman weapons and the colors of Roman tunics. I find your common eloquence and eclectic range of topics engrossing... privileged to learn from the brilliance of your minds. Now if only you could match Lindy's sartorial splendor.
I'd like to see you talking bout my channel next. :)
Great video, Metatron. LindyBeige is the guy who got me into history and weapons. lol.
Kjartan The Viking! Huh, your channel looks good. Ill check it out mate

VIKINGS!!
Lindybeige is a little bit hit or miss to say the least.
lol i hope it is a joke
@ He's made a few glaring mistakes and tends to rely on his own deduction rather than sources but he's still yet to make a boring video, no matter how banal the topic.
I've made a playlist containing Lindy's video for me to play when i want to go to sleep. The thing is, the video is so good to listen to that i just listen to the video instead of sleeping
Ive seen most your video's and this is by far the one that i laughed the hardest.
He's an actor, wasn't he? That how he does it.
I lost it at the Beserker video of his lol that's my favorite.
Megaton! subscribed to be lindy awhile back and watch a load of stuff of yours also. Now pulled my metaphoric finger out and subscribed to you!
Howdy Metatron. I really like your videos so bully for you, man! I would like to suggest a topic that hopefully you can cover in your future video(s): the fall of Rome and the Western Roman Imperial Army of Late Antiquity. I'm really interested in this since I'm currently playing Total War Attila and I saw a lot of changes in Roman Army's equipments: parthian swords, oval shields, fuller mail armor instead of lorica segmentata, etc. If you can really make a video on this topic, it would certainly make my day as a sucker of Roman History!
Review Skallagrim's channel! I kinda think he's getting burnt out, but I'd like to hear your opinions.
I thought he is getting better, trying practical testing using items he already reviewed on different armour as a new frontier.
Oddly enough, I like Lindy's sponsored videos the most.
I'm very much with you, obviously I initially subscribed you Lloyd for a mutual interest in history, combat, tactics etc, but he has uploaded various videos that I have no interest in, but his delivery and enthusiasm in the subject has led me to watch the whole video, then sometimes even read further into the subject!
I discovered Lindybeige a week ago and discovered you two days ago...I like both channels a lot. I used to teach experimental archaeology and I enjoy both of your channels a lot.
Lindy is a great creator, just not a very prolific one! Are you listening Lloyd!!!
I think what you were trying to say was that you had lost your train of thought. :-)
Love both of you guys and have noticed how he doesn't cut.
Hey, Metatron! This is the first time I watch one of your videos and I thought I'd leave a comment.
I've heard about you and your channel before from Matt and Skall (and I think from Shad, Thrand and Lloyd too) and I've seen some of your videos appear in my suggestions from time to time. I'm usually very reticent to try out a new content creator, and when I see a suggested video from a channel I'm not already subscribed to, I tend to just ignore it for that very reason.
I was watching one of Lloyd's latest videos today when I saw this video of yours among the suggestions, and I thought: "Hey, it's that Metatron guy I've heard good things about, and he's talking about Lloyd. Let's check it out".
I must say, you can now count me as one of your subscribers. You seem to be an eloquent, sensible, intelligent and educated man. All qualities I highly appreciate. I already knew you had an interest in history as I gathered it's a topic you have been making content about, but learning you are also a linguist convinced me to subscribe.
I work as a translator myself in French, English and Japanese (je suis français), and languages are among my main interests along with history.
I'm glad to now be one of your subscribers and I can already guess by looking at your playlists and the titles of many your videos that watching them is going to be very enjoyable. Kudos to you, Sir! :)

And a tour of English accents at the end too boot ! :) Although I must say I always kind of get a bit of a Liverpool vibe to your voice. Are you maybe a fan of the Beetles?
I wonder how many people mentioned pewdiepie in the comments as a suggestion on who to talk about? I'm more interested in that funky piano jazz bit of music you had going on nearer the end :D
Metatron, your videos are just as fun to watch as Lloyd's. I already subscribed to both you and Lindybeige. :P
You missed salt. He also talks about salt.
I've watched at least a few of his videos, and three of them I can recall. The first one was the ancient soldiers and PTSD one. As someone who has an education in psychology, from what I could tell, this video mostly checks out, and there was some interesting information he presented. The second video was the 'sexy jedi' video, which I was really, really unimpressed with. He was clearly missing a lot of important facts about the SW extended universe (which he was discussing), and made some poor extrapolations. The third video was the one about how only a small percentage of soldiers shoot to kill. He based much of his information in the video on debunked studies, which is disappointing. I've spoken with many combat veterans, and I can assure you, they DO shoot to kill. So yeah, he's interesting to listen to, but thus far, a lot of what I've heard puts me off due to inaccuracy.
Exactly. He also blatantly lies about subject he doesn't understand at all. He is not trustworthy. But hey you know how life is. If you present yourself well enough, people will think you are speaking the truth.
DXQ I like Metaron because usually he's actually qualified on the subjects he speaks on.
Actually at the end of the Shoot to kill video he says that modern soldiers are trained to "shoot to kill" and do that in fact...
Well, he kinda explains the "shoot to kill" thing, though, I don't know if that's in the same video or not. His point is: it is difficult for people to "naturally" shoot to kill. It's the way soldiers are trained now. They are trained to shoot to kill. His point was more about "pre-WW2 stuff" and the fact that two actual groups of hostile soldiers briefly meeting each other on accident in an unprepared position, might actually prefer to avoid the conflict, rather than starting the bloodbath, that could end in favour of either side, for no apparent reason other than "hey! Here's 10 armed enemy soldiers! Let's see who dies first!".
Jorlok Zander that happened to an American 101st airborn platoon during ww2, they walked into a barn full of German troops, men on both sides were all knaked coz of the fighting, The Americans backed up out the barn and not a single shot was fired.
It is because I subscribed to Lindybeige that I found Metatron! I enjoyed seeing your outtakes, they are fun and actually showed a lot about your sense of humor. Keep up the good work! /RayK
Because Loyd turns his weakness into his strength. Loyd going off on a 10 minute unrelated but fascinating tangent, is half the appeal of his channel.
Is it possibly to make this video's title more clickbait than it actually is? Spoiler: he actually loves Lindybeige, the title of the video being in the form of a question is probably a reference to those Geico's ads.
Actually, Lloyd is a historian. He taught archeology and is a historical advisor for many things.
Thank you for making me realise how good Lloyd actually is at making videos, I never even realised how amazing he is
I occasionally see Lindybeige have skip-jumps, but it is rare. When they do happen, Lloyd makes sure to be in the same spot at the beginning of the next clip.
Pretty amazing how he can go on a tangent for ten seconds and then return to his topic. It takes an incredible mind like Lloyd's.
Is LINDYBEIGE a good content creator? I think he is. I like him.
Thoughts on Skallagrim?
Hand gestures went crazy there hahahaha, easy to tell he's italian at the first look. Keep up the good job, mate! Great channel!
it´s nice to see such an accomplished person get all gooey and deferential towards their own heroes :)
