Mordhau, so, death-hew? Huh. Well, you already have the answer, it can’t work given the current technology. I say this being a real-life HEMA student, scholar, traching assistant, plus putting in far too many hours of swearing at Chivalry as I try to make the game do what I would do in real life.

I watched a few minutes of this last night before bed and I think it’s a great idea! Twitch is a vast land where getting noticed is not easy, and having something to grab attention that’s not, well, inappropriate, is great! Bennyfits stays in character, interacts with chat, and there is a game going on.

I think it would last a few minutes. It’s not practical, but it is a replica of some magical video game sword, so I suppose we can suspend disbelief for a bit. Though yes, historical examples of swords with holes in the blade are lacking for a very good reason.

HEMA! My passion in life. Here I am in a German Medieval staff guard. Four years, class once or twice a week, multiple weapons, reading source material, studying original images, going to a museum’s back room... I will tell ypu now: this is a hobby worth having.

This is fantastic. It’s like a bunch of Time Team recreations mashed together into one amazing slice of Britain’s past.

The research is fun! Sword, staff, pole axe, training based on the Medieval fighting manuals is fantastic. I’ve been at it for...oh, four years now. Actually exactly four years this week! I like that the developers have gone to the same sources and talked with people who study and practice the fighting moves from the…

Yeah, I’m not that impressed. I’ve been holding swords for a very long time. When can I become a trend?

You’re in the UK, looking at katanas, and they’re judging you because you should be looking at military sabres. :)

I have to admit that to me, it seems cool that you can perform this as part of a choir. I sing in funny voices for my niece, that’s really as far as I dare to go as I have been given a funny look or ten in the past when singing.

4-5 between now and the end of 2016 anyway. :)

One viewing was not enough to absorb it all. Not even close!

I may not be religious, but I do love these requiem mass compositions. So much power and emotion. Also, I loved that it was used in the movie, and not just for the trailer. Though what a trailer!

I need to see the movie again and I would buy Mario Kart Fury Road to play with my friends. Absolutely I would. I also need to listen to a certain piece of classical music for the thousandth time right now.

The Core is a movie. Perhaps the silliest movie with the most dubious science but it is fun. Essentially, the Earth’s core is slowing down and the magnetic field that protects us isn’t working. A crazy plan to fix this comes up, and to control the media and ensure there’s no panic by the populace, the government…

Questions? Ask! I do not guarantee answers but we’ll see what happens.

The Core, with a more specific reference of Dj Qualls as Rat, the super-hacker.

I don’t know. But now I am going to experiment and find out. Next time thee is a good offer at the store, a bag of roulette and a bag of Jalapeno are coming home with me for experimentation. The thought is if they look identical, then yes. But that’s the key, everything looks like your regular nacho cheese, so the…

Well, buying a two-four for $18 is an amazing thing, first of all, so there’s no fault and I would go for that here in Calgary if I could. Certainly a better price than it is here, even with exchange! A bottle/can of Canadian is a good warm up for fun or great around a fire pit, and I have a relatives in England who…

My taste in beer is a bit better than that Bud Light or Molsons when I’d like something to enjoy, from the realm of yeast and hops. I’d at least spring for something from Sleeman’s or Big Rock. Stout, yes, or a good ale, a deep red or deep brown one. Hmmm. I like the idea and it will be fun for a summer party. It’s a…

I will put it on the “try this” list because endorphins are my friend and I hot sauces are a great way to get them going. Plus I want to make a hot-sauce based shooter, and finding the right ingredient for it will require research. :)
