Yeah, but the bulk of sword designs throughout history utilized either a two handed grip, or an optional two handed grip. The only swords that did not are blades like a rapier, which were extremely light, and largely meant for duels specifically against other people using rapiers.

Nope, just a random guy. XD

That said, when two blades clash, they'll look just as unstable as the non-energy equivalents.

Well of course, an energy version of the same weapon would be weightless, so it probably wouldn't need quite as much stabilization. That said though, there's obviously a reason why we've always made swords they way we have. XD

I liked 12, it isn't my favorite Final Fantasy, but I certainly rank it highly.

Really loving the Encounter Rate Slider. At first I thought it might take me out of the immersion, and that's probably true to some extent, but it's more than made up by the amount of convenience it adds to the game.

Really wish I wasn't on a budget right now. I'd love to grab that orange PC case. XD

Yeah, except I don't really listen to the radio. I'm a cyclist, I bicycle everywhere if at all possible. So listening to the radio in a car isn't really my habit.

My two cents on football, and competitive sports in America as a general rule.

Yes it could hit multiple people at once, but only people bunched up close to the first place position. If you're in way far back, that isn't going to help much.

Oh geeze.

Thing is about sports, is that you have to have an emotional attachment to the outcome in order to care. Since I've spent most of my life living in states with either no pro-teams, or pro-teams that weren't particularly competitive, I just cannot muster that sort of attachment at this point. Maybe if I cared about…

Darn, the orange version of that Corsair case is actually on my Amazon wish list, but it isn't getting any discount. The gray one's nice, but, looks a lot more like a typical case. Trying to get away from the whole, typical PC look, for my next case.

Yeah, I've changed out my phone a few times since 2008. It's only cost me about 150 each time. I wait for deals, like most people. Even Apple phones don't cost THAT much. Where as, decent well built desktops still cost anywhere from 400 to 1000 dollars, and still aren't necessarily good for gaming at the higher…

Aaaand all that changes the fact that the X1 has considerably fewer processing cores and slower memory, how exactly? Yeah, neither are a full potential yet, but the architecture of both systems GPU's and CPU's are similar enough that any disparity apparent now, is probably going to remain apparent as developers…

First.

Yes, because a person that doesn't have a PC, is immediately going to jump neck deep into the pool and buy a gaming rig. Sorry, that's not a reasonable scenario. Chances are the consumer will already have a PC. Now, if their current PC is extremely old or broken, that alters the calculus a bit. However, for basic…

Conspiracy theories? Really? You think that's a simpler explanation than the X1 simply having fewer GPU processing cores to work with?

Really, you think OpenGL and Mantle are going to give optimization anywhere near the optimization you see on consoles? Dude, I hate to break this to you, but you're dreaming. OpenGL is nothing special, and Mantle while interesting, isn't likely to be a dominate force in PC gaming, due to it being a vender specific…

Not exactly. That certainly describes the state of console sales during the first six to eight months, sometimes even the first year or two during some more extreme cases. However consoles are almost always profitable well before they've reached the end of their lifespan.
