From their FAQ:

I'm not sure why you'd expect a series that's only ever been released on the PS2 to have a PC release... Don't get me wrong; I'd love a PC version.

I'm a huge fan of Frequency and Amplitude but don't understand the rationale behind making complex "ships" for the player to control; it just seems too busy to me.

I don't know; how come?

My old man doesn't care much for specs, but he does appreciate "collector's cars". He's looking at getting a new toy, and the 25th Anniversary Edition Miata was in the runnings with the BMW Z4, Porsche Boxster, Jaguar F Type, Jaguar XK150, and Morgan Roadster (clearly he's a fan of roadsters). The Miata dropped out…

To be fair, they melted a broadsword to make two long swords, which isn't too unbelievable from a perspective of mass/volume. The actual metallurgy however... not so much. :P

Well, according to legend, damascus steel blades were extremely strong, sharp and resilient. Whereas damascus steel was cutting-edge technology (pun!), modern "damascus steel" is almost exclusively novelty. Surely the qualities of damascus steel have been embellished over time (if I'm not mistaken, some rumors even…

Yes, there is a significant distinction to me made between "old" damascus steel and "new" damascus steel, as mentioned in my other comments. However, the method for making the original is still lost today; we do not know how to make actual damascus steel.

Actually, Shakespeare's works have been updated from the original "Shakespearean" to contemporary English.

Oh~ Very nice explanation!

Ah, that's neat! I definitely didn't know that.

Haha, I couldn't help but find that funny in the show how valyrian steel is suddenly such a big deal! I mean, Ned Stark was wielding a broadsword made of the stuff and there was little to no mention of how phenomenal it was!

If you're looking to buy a damascus steel blade (presumably for collecting as they rust very easily), Kershaw makes some that are both affordable and good quality.

That's a really good point; I hadn't thought of the re-forging that was used to make the swords for Jamie and Joffrey! I suppose the only reasonable canonical explanation would be that valyrian steel blades are pure rather than alloy and the patterns are a result of the forging.

That's fallacious.

Based on that description (I haven't read the books), modern damascus steel isn't too different. Aside from artificially darkened blades (e.g. black oxide), damascus steel is the darkest available (to my knowledge) and has the "grey ripples", which can vary in shape and size depending on the method of manufacture. …

Well played.

I didn't intend any insult but was just trying to point out the nature of the word. It's definitely a bad "vocabulary habit" but an easy one to make (for myself included)! >.>

Anytime one uses the word "obvious", it is inherently condescending as that which is obvious needs no explanation.

Yea, Valyrian Steel is clearly based on Damascus Steel, in both appearance and history.
