This is stupid. The followers of Islam are not the Borg, anymore than the followers of any other religion. Simply among my friends I count three Muslims, none of whom are in any way, shape, or form, terrorists.

The way I see it, ignorance is the real enemy. FOR ALL OF US. Be it the ignorance of ...

Could someone tell me the song used here? I can't catch the lyrics over the clacking and noise.

@MrAlasalle Concerning the weapons, well, I would expect a ridiculously overbuilt (not to mention dull with a lousy blade profile as shown in every close-up) thing like the bat'leth to be more durable when beaten against a smaller sword. However, I rather doubt that without the super strength you...

This is hilarious

@hideomgskojima I believe the "Take over" was meant to have one of the troopers take over the now unattended work station, and "See to him" was meant to get another to check on the guy Chewie threw in the corner.

Regardless, I don't understand why so many people freak out over this. Are Stormtro...

The guitar here is awesome, and I think it would be cool if someone with technical wizardry could blend Metallica's instruments with BOC's singing. I like Metallica, but they don't seem to be able to sing well enough for this song, just shout in tune, and that doesn't do it for me.

Ah yes, when I see a creepy jack-in-the-box winding itself, I always put my face right up to it...

@0kamisama And use filthy Klingon garbage scows? Romulans are above such things. ;D

On the other hand, you could dismantle them to get the resources to make proper Romulan ships. That's what I used to do when I played.

Since I offered some unsolitated advice on the previous video I'll offer some here too.

I like to micromange my Steamrunners. I set them to not fire on their own and direct all their fire myself. This prevents them firing into the middle of your own formation, as can be seen in this video.

I al...

I realize this is an old video and you probably aren't playing anymore or have learned since then, but I'll offer this bit of advice to any who might want it:

If you want to destroy their shipyard, don't park your ships on top of their station to get chewed up. Instead, send your ships to the fa...

I see I'm not alone in wondering what the balloon popping shows...

@AtrusOranis Actually for this rapier I got both the sharp and blunt, as sold by Hanwei. There is no real edge to either, which isn't important for a rapier. However, I felt a little disappointed at the blunt version. It is basically the same thing as the sharp, only with the point ground off. It...

I don't speak French, so I have no idea what is going on here, but for some reason the helm gag and Trollface struck me as hilarious. :D

@tipsymclovin Of all the ahistorical things in the video, that's the one you focus on? ;D

'Couse, I gotta admit, compared to Hollywood these guys do a great job.

Although since Hollywood couldn't do anything related to history if their lives depended on it, I'm not sure how big an accomplishmen...

Hey, if I'm not mistaken, I know a couple of the people at 0:54-1:03. Center guy is Christian Henry Tobler, a big name in the European martial arts community. Do you know them as well, or just took the image from their website or something?

(What's odd to me is 2:00-2:05 looks like CHT on the ri...

I like this. It is Hollywood fighting, with a lot of attacks to weapons instead of opponents, but you can see the European flair/style in it. It's irritating to see bastardized Asian techniques used with European weapons in the movies.

On the other hand it is funny to listen to the uninformed wh...

@GeorgedIDK Zooz, Castor, it's all good. Everybody knows who we're talking about.

@icasas72 Obviously there were bad things going on, corrupt rulers/churches/disease/hardship/hunger/etc, but there were good things as well, good rulers/churches/arts/music/chivalry/etc. It's not black and white, all awesome fantasy land or horrible tyrants ensalving and killing left and right.

The Kamino Cloners thought their first batch was a mistake, but music lovers across the Republic thought otherwise.

My sister named her cat "Thank you" in Chinese. (Cat was a gift and she's a Firefly fan. Wait, should I bring up Joss Whedon here?) I told her that if you pronounce it a little different it's Shi-Shi, which means Pee. :D

Car fumes probably give me as much carcinogens as second-hand smoke, so I'm more offended by the smell. So what really bothers me about smokers is the fact they smoke near my apartment door and my place has to stink for the next twenty minutes.

If I were to start wafting the smell of a sewer sys...

Wait, so if I step out of someone's way and hold my belongings to the side to avoid violating their personal space it's racism?

That also means there are a lot of people out there that think I'm going to mug them...

After watching this video I am left with one question: Which "Housewives" show did they grab the trophy wife from?

Another random note: I specifically do not ask people their ancestry unless it comes up in conversation. As pointed out in my other post below, nobody cares what I am, so why should I care what they are? If they're proud of it and want me to know, they'll find a way to tell me at some point.

@allyouneedismmmm What Western Boxing? I don't see such a thing, I see a good fighter beating on a bad one.

I agree that the mic does no favors, but honestly I found it quite interesting. I've not heard these particular lyrics before (there are many versions, not surprising, given the age of the song) and putting them up for people to follow along was a nice touch.

As for the haters, it seems like you...

@crazeey100 The passive-aggressive thing you did seems a little odd for trolling, but anyway, if we're not on an Olympic level we should just give it up, huh?

But aren't you afraid the dog is going to get hurt?!?!? :D

Didn't know you had a Youtube channel...

An entertaining bit of stage combat, much better than the History Channel video I just watched.

A couple of points, if you're taking suggestions:

1. Doing the wide shots is great, but it also makes it very obvious the attacker is striking at the enemy's shield and cannot reach the enemy himself....

@LotusDragon09 Yep, there's always too much of a good thing. It depends on what it is supposed to be for too. The hand and a half I mentioned being too "whippy" is actually a fine sword, as long as you want to fight unarmoured opponents. The problem is that it is supposed to be a stiff thrusting ...

The awkward moment when Nigahiga explains that not being able to shake hands like X person is actually awkward.

I always thought it was funny...
