I'm not the biggest history buff. I usually did terrible in those classes. I can't even remember when certain events took place. Only one I remember really well is WWII mostly thanks to CoD World at War. It got me looking more and more into things and interested about things that happened and what Germany tried doing and the secret lore behind certain things they wanted to try doing.

So yeah like Neo said. I feel like video games did a better job educating me there
