> Shouldn't the Renaissance be before the Middle Ages?
shiet nigga, you stupid, smh tbh. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages
>  the Middle Ages or Medieval period lasted from the 5th to the 15th
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance
>  The Renaissance is a period in Europe, from the 14th to the 17th century, considered the bridge between the Middle Ages and modern history.
> why does this totally skip over Rome

i uploaded them in a different thread, and at the time it was taking me 20 minutes to upload these and i was only having like a 20% success rate at posting, so i figured it was more important to get more episodes out, rather than waste time reposting stuff because i wasnt sure if that 50MB thing was going to last. im sure it wont and i figure theyve upped the upload size while the site population is low for load testing, so i intended to increase my upload amount tomorrow.

Id like to take a moment to advertise this website i recently discovered. its called the Great courses and its a company that creates lecture series made by college professors on a wide range of topics. One of those being history, and some even have a similar scope to Mr Weber's program here, but i havent checked those out personally, as i felt this program was a sufficent education of thise type for the time being.
i did however check out a series on the Etruscans ( http://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/the-mysterious-etruscans.html )that i have found highly informative and wish to share this link with you. In the first episode alone i learned a number of surprising things about the relationship between etruscans, greeks, and romans. However, i can not, and will not, upload this particular lecture series in good conscience, as they are currently selling it for 50-80$, depending on your format, but the best choice is only 70 which is only 10$ more than you would spend on a videogame, which i think is a reasonable price considering the amount of knowledge contained within it. 
theres also 2 lecture serioes that i would also like to vouch for that are unrelated/semi to history, one is a kind of introduction to philosophy course ( http://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/great-ideas-of-philosophy-2nd-edition.html ) which is inherently a history of philosophy, and does discuss matters of antiquity, its a bit pricier, but i feel that on sale it is at a reasonable price for the sheer amount of lectures alone ( 60 half hour lectures) 
the last one is a lecture on how to do mental math ( http://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/secrets-of-mental-math.html ) and s quite helpful if youre shit at mental math, and only 20 dollars. 
just keep in mind that none of these professors hold a candle to Mr Webers Gravitas, stage presence, or mastery of diction and public speaking, but just because they arent as perfect doesnt mean they are outright unwatchable, theyre just not as good.

obviously i do, how else would i post 3 at a time?

as for why, continuity sounds as good a reason as any, though its probably more because of routine. also no one had said anything about it until now. 

apologies for missing the last couple days, i just found divide et imperia for RTW2 and i havent done anything but play that. that and general illness sapping my willpower.

yeah fuck it, i might as well just make it one webm.
if you would rather it be in pieces, i will eventually reupload everything in thirds after finishing the series up, but i will also talk you through how to do it if you really want.

I suspect the jews will throw a DMCA on this because the last thing they want is for us to remember our history as it is to be replaced by utopian multicult progressive nonsense.

well this took a half hour to encode, and im not sure why. thats what i get for not saving my exact setup for this format. 

 >>/265/
oh yeah its piss easy to do, ill make a webm tomorrow to explain how to do it exactly, but for now ill just tell you that i use xmedia recode, which is really just a GUI shell for ffmpeg, so if you use loonix you might prefer to just use ffmpeg by itself.

heres that tutorial i promised like a month ago. 
the problem i was having is that the default bitrate for OBS is obscene. 1000000? really? 

also im going to finish the series out as webm's for consistancy's sake, but when i start back at one to upload them as a full file, im changing over to mp4s because there isnt a media player on android that can play webms worth a damn, and mp4 only marginally increases the file size, if at all.
