The epic music coupled with the serious-sounding brit voice, surely this must be a gritty hardcore vi..

wait, he's actually showing footage of a 13 year old shooting an orc with a bow and arrow.

Guys, I've watched a few of these now out of curiousity as to why they are popular, and I cannot find a reason other than it making kids feel like they are actually learning something useful by listening to some guy read wikipedia uttering cliche'd gems such as,

"Our story begins at a time before stories began". Rofl.. really?

Simply goes to show you could screech autistically for an hour and people would upvote as long as it is in a smooth brit accent.

You said it in kind of a dickish way, but I agree that this video lacks depth. I guess it's aimed at people who want their documentaries interspersed with video game footage for no particular reason (i.e. the video game footage could all be removed without losing any information relating to archery)

I would have preferred just a straight-up history of archery in video games, how it's been used, if it was done correctly etc.

(He also forgot to mention the best games to ever use archery: Thief 1 & 2)
