Bacon and cheddar are good too. Mmmmmm.
Damn i do not have any chips/crisps in my house and now i am hungry! First world problems abound!

Pbtbtbtbt I can taste the potato. Baked potatoes taste good to me, and I can detect that in the chips. Mmmm. Potato starch! Salt just enhances it for the better. Yes but. I am the weird girl who has eaten bits of raw potato before so that might be it. I have no idea why.

I saw a bag of Lays in display here in Canada that said Maple Moose, so it can be worse. Gamey meat covered in tree sap? What's wrong with potato flavour, people?? Potatoes are delicious!

What, like ham and pickle, lamb and mint, roast beef and mustard? I do kind of like the ham and pickle one...but paying the import price in Canada is not always fun.

Sword article, thus, obligatory post from Lauren Danger. This is all proof that the sword is defined by the one who wields it. I've never attacked a tatami mat, but since I've moved to western martial arts, I doubt i will ever get to this level of fun with a katana. Yes, fun, because, I enjoy the art of it, the skill,…

Day Zee or Day zed, but not Days. Or if you are Dean Rocket Hall, Dhaay Zheee in that cool kiwi accent.

You pay thirty dollars american, you download it, you play forever, through Alpha, Beta, and beyond. If it goes the way the mod version did, in a few years there will be at least ten maps and thirty different versions. So it is a game you'll be able to come back to again and again. All for one low price!

If it follows the trend of other shows, this means yes, either the week before or the day after the new season begins. Can't remember what it was for The Walking Dead but something like that. I know I will binge through all of it in a day. Wooooooo!

Friends, DayZ is the new internet darling. Even the worst of things that happen make it so different than anything else that people go back for more. It is insane. Yes, attacking people with shovels, handcuffs, force feeding, fighting, zombies, and just a few uates into alpha. One video i saw on the youTube commented…

Launched in Europe this year? I will be in Europe later this year! Snacktaku, you have prophesied something interesting for my travels, and it shall bring me new Life! Sweet.

Gear spawns when the server resets. If you make it to a military area first after the reset, you have the chance to get some good gear. If you keep working at it, eventually you see enough item spawning areas to collect what you need. The drawback is that because the character is persistent across servers, you can hop…

There are some CoD kiddies in the mix. We have to deal with them. Young, phobic, a bit chauvinistic, and they make for frustration. But I have learned to ignore them. I die, I respawn on the coast, I go again. Many people are just having a silly, fun time, whether they are being bad guy bandits or good guy greg type…

You'd think there would be master-work real versions out there that are properly forged. Hmm actually, check out http://darksword-armory.com as I know they have Strider's ranger sword with the tang oeened over the pommel. Not sure they make Anduril anymore, but worth a check. Of course my Anduril was just a $90…

The main clue that Tony is not a swordsmith is that he should have mentioned that it was not a Falchion in the historical sense. No real weapon expert would ignore that. I didn't but I was feeling kind so i went after the game designers. Also, these swords and weapons are way too heavy for anyone to use for more than…

Yeah, it's the name but not a good name. I am going to go call my SUV The Motorcycle now, and rename my cat Drafthorse or something. Stick with the snobber- um, aficionado-ism and don't give in! Swords are woefully misunderstood in this world and we have to do our bit to turn the tide!

Buzzword terms only dumb down the general populace, but we can't do too much about it except do our part to encourage things to be named after animals. Falcon punch, elephant kick, and spider grasp, much better than a katana kick or naginata uppercut.

Oh no, I get it. They called a sword that isn't a falchion the Falchion. It's not as witty or clever as Sting or Needle. It just shows that many companies can use a good researcher and fact checker. We sword snobs will be happy to volunteer. :)

Correct, this falchion from the game is not a falchion. It's not any real sword from history, well nothing standard and functional until Man at Arms made it. Don't think of yourself as a sword snob, but rather, a sword aficionado. Or someone who likes history to be accurate as it progresses into modern pop culture. :)

Still proves that video game makers get things wrong. If I call a dog Riding Horse, I can't exactly put a saddle on the canine and take to the dusty trail... Call the character falchion and make him use a longsword, then we call it irony! Yeah. But... Ah whatever. :)

Tony's work is good, and it captures the sword well, though, my complaint is against video game designers for calling it a falchion when it isn't. But I am being picky, a know-it-all, etc etc. Falchions of course don't look like that and aren't used like that. But that's fine.
The good news of course is that in the…
