Actually, those who could afford a sword would spend time learning to use it as a matter of prestige. There are training manuals, records of guilds, and accounts of fights in the streets between different groups who preferred different swords or styles. If you were conscripted into an army and given a sword, you'd get…

Others have given good info, but the best way to see how it used to be done is to look up the PBS episode for Secrets of the Viking Sword which will show ou the old way of doing things, and there will be a few things you recognise from Man at Arms here. But the old ways were tricky! Hwever I think they look much…

How true! No footwork at all! But then it's for a video so maybe they have to stand still so the focus just stays on the movement of the sword. Still, they could get the footwork in there n a few, show off some skills. It is not the weapon as much as the one who wields it, after all.

As a student of western martial arts, I can let you know that it's all foot and wrist work. Blades are light and balanced, and the whole body moves to use it. There are different techniques depending on sword wielded versus weapon and armour of the opponent. I's actually a lot to learn, but it is so much fun to learn…

I am a bit kinder, as F2P means I will test it for a few days, maybe a week, say I played it, and abandon it for something else right quick. Besides, someone will make YouTube videos about all these free games anyway and we can watch someone else spend the money. Yay!

Food poisoning from improperly cooked chicken is not quite what you're hinting at, so let's just call the food item hard to digest. Greasy and unsatisfactory. Chicken issues involve vomiting with such force that you get black eyes. I've seen it.
Srange though, since McDonalds in Sweden just has "hot wings" and they're…

Chinchilla golden? Not familiar with the breed, but adorable! And where can I adopt one? My Norwegian Forest Cat could use a cuddly sibling! Yes I said adopt and not buy.

Things like this are why I don't stream, don't YouTube, and generally keep my other aspects of social media out of my moderate interest in gaming, and don't talk aout my interst in gaming with many people. It's not awkward for me, but it is annoying when it is so awkward for so many others. Let's just kill the…

Is it still just warrior and mage classes? i have been ignoring the game for three weeks. Repeated crashes while trying to finish a dungeon did not entice me to keep at things. Some fresh features might help win me back.

Every time I think I could upload some fun YouTube vids or become a streamer or anything like that, I stop and think about everyone else out there, and this video sums up all of the things that go through my mind. We're a society of people famous for the sake of being famous. It's awful. Fame should be the place of…

I bought it and enjoyed it, but that was many months ago. Despite being a western martial artist in the fleshy world, my virtual battles were not quite the same as swinging a real (but blunted and safe) longsword into someone's fencing helmet. But with a new router and the chance to customise my warrior, I am being…

I've tried to make this game work but my advice is don't. It crashed a lot for the month I tried it, and with only two character classes to play right now, it feels like a game rushed out to start making some F2P cash to keep up the work. Having to buy new skill slots for spells is just wrong. Maybe unlock them…

Man at Arms is a great series, and if you like it, I recommend finding the Nova episode "Secrets of the Viking Sword" about the ulfberht sword. Fascinating story about a real sword, with some older methods of forging that yield a great result. It is easy to find on YouTube.

At the risk of leaving a slightly inappropriate comment on the internet forever... This man can come over for sword practice any time!

Off map vehicle and gear hoarding spot, or maybe debug plains, or, well, it's been up for a long time, weird things happen all over ;)

I thought that was one of the hiding places for vehicles that people prefer, one that isn't quite off the map, so others go there to take back said vehicles, and of course fights will happen. Characters will die. Vehicles will be destroyed. And the cycle goes on when everyone spawns back at the coast and invokes the…

so when is the next spacecraft to another planet going to depart? I would like to be on it. That is all I can say without entering some endless flame war I suppose. I will go back to playing that Outside MMO that I've been part of since Pong. Yep. gives me lots of in game vitamin D power ups.

Outside is just a video game adaptation of the old Game of Life, which is just based on a camp fire game from thousands of years ago. The players keep adding more rules and requirements, tinkering, and the devs, they just throw some storms and earthquakes and sit back and let the changes go into effect. Some are good,…

As long as the charging cord is in good condition, you'll be fine. If the cord has a fray, crck, crimp, or anything else, then use a bit of electrical tape to fix it. Two layers will do. A few seconds of inspection and some common sense will keep you gaming without worry. :)

Fries are chips and chips are crisps. I may be Canadian but through loyalty to the Queen, who is technically thehead of state here, I am trying to start the movement to change it, especially since French Fries come from Belgium so it's all messed up.
