There would be more Zeppelins dropping bombs and Kaisers as end game bosses.

If it wasn't for Hitler and friends, WARs would have been quite different.

Well, I can't say I like World War 2, at least what actually happened (World War 2 as entertainment rocks!) but the Nazis had some uber cool costume designs. Some were real badass. Futuristic almost. Looked like cybernetic ninja assassin people. Cool stuff.

Funny, I just came across this quote and your post above came instantly to mind; from George Orwell: "Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac."

his Hommage to Catalonia. Great biographical narrative.
He joins the Republican cause in the Spanish Civil War, only to find himself being used as a puppet on the string by a bunch of homocidal, power hungry thugs being made into heroes by the Western media of his day.
I'm not sure how that changed wargame history though.
No

I don't read things that might beneficially increase my cultural awareness. That's exactly what they want me to do.

So Logic says that you don't read anything, which we know isn't true. Is that Schrodinger's cat I hear scratching?
Err

I was refering to things along the lines of high and medium culture, and not pop and low culture.
Also, is this really reading? Or is it just talking in a drawn out fashion for the mock-deaf? We may never know...

you know, we have a thing called an Xray machine nowadays, and they're advanced enough to tell if the damn cat is alive or not.

oh, it is dead alright, and Schrodinger killed it! The entire theory is a construct to hide the fact!

But of course, that's the whole point; as soon as you make the measurement, the cat's wavefunction collapses and the cat assumes one of it's discrete possible states of existence.

Right, so there's this guy called Odin, and he lives in Valhalla, you know, that hugely old Norse mythic place up in the clouds where dead warriors are, taken there by them valkyries.
Anyway, so in this Valhalla place there's, like, this really huge hall, a mess hall really, and there's, like, this huge banquet that just never stops and just, you know, keeps going forever.
So, we got the warriors, the hall and the banquet and everything, but then there's this table in the middle, and on this very table, because I'm getting to the point, is this pig, well, boar really. Then there are all these dead warriors, except that they aren't really dead, because they're in Valhalla, and they just eat and eat eat. And the boar is all happy and stuff, even though it's being cut up all the time, but it just won't die, and just grows back the missing parts over and over again.
What is the pig's name?

P� taket til Valhall g�r geiten L�rand og hjorten Eiktryme. De spiser av grenene p� det store treet Yggdrasil. Fra melken deres lager kokken Andrimner mj�d. Kokken har ogs� en gris som het S�rrimne. Den er slik at den kan spises igjen og igjen! Med en gang den er ferdigspist, blir den hel igjen, og kan tilberedes p� nytt.

Interesting auto-translation of your text but I got the pig's name from it:
"At roof at Valhall goes the goats L�rand and hjorten Eiktryme. They am dining at bough at that big the tree Yggdrasil. At milk their makes a kokken Andrimner mj�d. Kokken has also a pig as called S�rrimne. That is so that it able canteen afresh and afresh! Immediate that is ferdigspist , becomes it clear afresh , and able prepare anew."
Now, where does that get us?

Although as usual, there's a lot of gibberish ...
