        Main character of a huge video game by a Czech studio, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. The game is based on the actual history and medieval war.

        Was a reference to “Eddie would go” a Hawaiian surfing and lifeguard legend who died rescuing people when no one else would go out in the water to save them due to the danger.

        Basically saying they were living up to their history, a history most people only know about from that game.

          Oh, I know KCD, I just didn’t get the Eddie would go reference.

          BTW if it’s video games about Czech history, there is the Last Train Home, which is about the Czechoslovakian Legion, who fought on the Entente side in Russia in WWI, and had a hell of a journey home as the Russian civil war started.

          As I understand, their contribution let Czechoslovakia become an independent country as a victor of WWI.
