    Why do you think there is more interest in the Tudors than the Stuarts among the general public?

    WI: Pop Culture in a world without 9/11?

    i would've mentioned Siancong, but i'm not sure it was even a thing in any of the comics at the time (for those unaware, "the Siancong War" is how Marvel eventually reconciled the 'Nam-era origins of alot of their characters with the floating timeline of the main continuity) and i couldn't think...

    WI: Pop Culture in a world without 9/11?

    realistically, they'd probably set it in one of Marvel's fictional countries that they would legally be able to use at the time and just retrofitted to their purposes, assuming the same film-rights sell-off from OTL still happened. after all, it wasn't "just any" terrorists that abducted Tony in...

    i think i'll just about always be able to remember a given Robot Chicken sketch and bring it up when appropriate :P

    Alt-History Aftermath Scenarios Implied by Media

    yeah, it's probably best to assume that it's totally self-contained. there is an insinuation that some version of it, at least, is part of the "prime" Age of Empires TL, though--while i haven't actually played it, apparently AOE3 has one of its relics as the Armor of Arkantos

    Alt-History Aftermath Scenarios Implied by Media

    there's not as easily-defined a date to the Egyptian parts as there are to the Greek and Norse ones ;) and that's not even getting into the part about Atlantis being destroyed at the end of the campaign, which is traditionally said to take 10,000 years ago, so according to the game there...

    think that's weird in the AOE franchise? even ignoring the mythical elements, the first campaign of Age of Mythology implies that the Trojan War took place at the same time as the Viking Age! XD (some Norsemen mention "the Fairhair clan", as in Harald Fairhair)

    WI: Pop Culture in a world without 9/11?

    Sesame Street had a similar episode, which interestingly enough also used a fire and the ensuing trauma (for Elmo in particular) as an allegory for the attacks

    Anime is sort of underrated for how much alternate history it contains

    i prefer "retroactive alternate history", personally

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    No it's not. Oceania has always been closely linked to Eastasia. We have always been at war with Eurasia.

    a studio that seems to specialize in making pretentious movies, of the "true art is incomprehensible" variety. while i'm a casual viewer in any case, i coincidentally recorded alot of theirs as part of my Halloween movies last year and didn't like any of them, and above all the others i ended up...

    i'm pretty sure that has more to do with the Mormons :P

    Why no "Vlad the Impaler" types in Western Europe?

    or that he served in the janissaries

    PC: North-south bias to *Canadian US states?

    hey, all. this idea occurred to me last night and i wanted to get some peer review on it. a longstanding idea for my ASB ATL is that TTL's US annexed (roughly) western and northern Canada through methods that, frankly, are irrelevant to the thread question. it's pretty frequently brought up...
