This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

OK, I found this a fun and interesting video... a Japanese swordmaster tries using a longsword for the first time:

PEACE!

This reminds me.

Chad Stahelski, the director for the Highlander reboot, says they will be using Queen in the soundtrack.

Henry Cavill swinging a sword to the opening of Princes of the Universe would be the absolute apex of awesome.

  I liked that one, this one is also very good.  This guy trains both and uses his western techniques and its pretty cool.

English Longsword gets taken back to Japan, where the samurai who learns to wield it becomes a warlord because of the superior steel quality and design.
