That's kind of typical of any iron sword (iron's a very dense material though, so it doesn't take a whole lot of it to weigh a lot). I once heard of one group of medevil re-enactors in florida who use period-correct broadswords that weighed around 40 pounds (18.14 kilograms) each.

The thing that pissed me off was in Braveheart, where Mel Gibson started swinging around one of those claymore swords like what you have... the thing was bending back and forth like it was made out of sheet metal. Real iron is brittle, and would have just snapped after bending like that.

WHAT?!

It was during the whole Gooie/liljim blowup, so a lot of people missed it. <3 It was just a point that even when big stuff happens to us, sometimes it gets lost in the shuffle, and that's life. :*

How is Erin's family getting along, just out of curiosity?

I get to see if I can balance two part time jobs tomorrow (an old friend of mine desperatly wants me to watch his shop for about 10 to 15 hours a week). Then I get to call up the people at O'Reily Auto Parts about getting some shocks for the back end of my car... after that, I'll probably either write in my journal or noodle around on my guitar for a while.

i'ave always wanted a real sword, like something that's the real shit, you know? just to say i own a real sword. nothing fancy just a longsword with minimal extra flare shit.

actually. i want an exact replica of the master sword from the zelda games...cept you know...real. and with magical powers. like if i hold it behind me long enough it'll start flaming...

i'm not asking for much....

*huggles teh Maus again*

man...did i miss something big? i was only gone one day...

Erin's family is doing okay. He was like the baby of the family so they took it pretty hard at first, but they seem to have adjusted pretty well.

Those are some weird assed AIMs, btw. :\

I was unpacking my fiance's stuff (snooping), and I came accross a bag full of late 80's early 90's cereal/happy meal toy nostalgia.

I wonder what else she has in the piles of junk she left for me to clean up.

Ah...

I still have Pogo from 101 Dalmations. And I still have those two dogs from Oliver and Company (from McDonald's).

I even have a Charlie Brown somewhere...

I'd like a pair of Kendo Sticks myself. I'd take that over a display sword any day. But then again, my brother owns a reproduction model tomahawk my maternal grandfather made years ago from a wheelbarrow handle and a plow point... it is the shit, and I'm kind of aggravated that I didn't find it first when we moved two years ago.

The only sword I've ever seen that (I thought) resembled the Master Sword was the display reproduction Sword of El Cid -- Tizona. I don't think anyone actually makes a replica of the Master Sword itself.

man...did i miss something big? i was only gone one day...

You may want to read this and the previous page of the lounge to get a better understanding of what happened.

I'm glad to hear they're doing o.k.

Because it was General forum fodder, not Politics. And it was just stupid.

Well. It certainly isn't serious discussion, which we TRY to aim for in this forum. It would be really out of place in Flash, Where Is/How To?, Programming, Clubs and Crews, and the Audio forums, so General is your best bet.

thats pretty close actually. i'm sure you can have it custom built for a price. apparently theres a real oldschool type swordsmith in vermont..so i shoudl give him a call and send him a picture of a mastersword or something

i dont think anyone can ever call maus a complainer. she's been through so fucking much!!!

total E-hugs for her!

two weeks ago yesterday a friend of mine killed himself, i didn't even know till the next day and i wasnt even able to go to his service.

You need to d/l mIRC. And then follow the steps to register a name there. Or you can choose a random name on java and just say who you are.

We've got one in here too. Julio "Lobo" González, builds custom-made armors and weapons using pretty much the original technique of Medieval Europe, namely Spain. You're a first-worlder like guy, so I'm guessing you can afford to make a long distance call to the south hemisphere: His cell phone is (56) 09-8555438. His local phone is (56)(2) 2782608. Dub dub bap ba dup.

Or maybe not. We're not good enough for you, are we, white boy? Well, go to hell!

So. I bought a photo album of a lot of things from the '90s today. It has photos!

Maus - I love the picture that you posted in that thread... Awesomeness.

OMG! My stance on abortion is actually not too far from Iran's!

Isn't it Iranic? I feel... fundamentalistic.

What's this Memorial Day supposed to be all about?

hundreds of bucks for an international phone call attempting to speak to some guy who doesnt speak my language + thousands most likely for the sword vs. calling vermont with my nice long distance plan + the sword cost which i can haggle in my own language...

i'm already going to hell for a hell of a lot better reasons then that

rememberance of fallen soldeirs in US wars and all those who serve our country in one way or another and die on duty

Oh my God, BB King is amazing. Tonight, I saw the Bobby Blue Bland Band open for the BB King Blues Band and both were incredible. When you have a Rock and/or Roll Hall of Famer open for you, that says a lot. By the last set, it started to rain pretty hard, which was a lot of fun, especially since it allowed me to move up to about the 4th row smack dab in the middle. I have to say, that concert rocked my socks across the block.

I've seen people come and go in this thread. I've seen them come back, and leave again. I've seen people completely dissappear in here. The same holds true for the whole forum. I've seen drama and harmony, ignorance and insight.

And I've seen people throw fits over the social politics of BBS threads too many times to care any more if someone feels like they aren't getting the attention they deserve.

So, that being said... You don't like the atmosphere? Think it has changed too much, or that it is full of idiots?

Then go somewhere else.

Or stay.

Whichever action you choose, just don't go and try and blame people for enjoying it for what it is, not what it was in some utopic memory of yours.

As in you don't want the NGC to become another forum for current day political debates. That is why I said DAK and those members that weren't big into politics.

Yes that link is a useful function, it can help avoid those pesky bans ;)

I actually heard of someone who was having it made, piece by piece. He had a swordsmith (blacksmith?) making the blade, a metalsmith the handle and pommel, etc, and I guess he had someone who could put it all together.

Oh, and
here's a link to an image of the sword. Got $3,300 laying around? Go get it forged.

Oh, and as for contacting a mod, feel free to email me at ted@newgrounds.com - I get less complaints than Shrike or Maus, so I should take some emails for them.

I like the Zelda video games... but I'm not that big a fan.
