Why does it matter if they've gone to college or not? It's a sport to some, a hobby to others, and it's a common ground between people from all walks of life.

Be careful, VicTricks, your ignorance is showing.

We all have our fun, one way or another. Don't bash on people who have a good time doing what they do. I dont call you a fag when you run around with a ball made of pig flesh while other men try to grab you and put you on the ground.

Thanks! I'm trying to learn some ideas on how to go about using a shield and short sword since I'm new to LARPing but not new to Aikido... so I'm use to tanto and katanas... :)

@Fidellio13 And that sucks. No realism at all

[blessdinsanity]

@Dimitri0809 there is no need to help them make the sport better. there are already things in place that take the game, and make modifications every few years. the system currently being played is 7.6, and in a few years they will be releasing 8.0. this game has been around since 1982 or '83. started with a guy who just wanted to make some money. now, the game is world wide. it's not broken, don't try to fix it.

@CORRUPTsn1per

Indeed. It has been a pleasure to chat with you, as well, comrade.

[CORRUPTsn1per]

@ApolloEROGILK True it is, tis also practical to people suffering in any state of pain. Physical or mental.

But lets not waste time discussing such a pointless matter based simply on opinion, on a video that has nothing to do with it. :] Its been a pleasure talking to you.

@CORRUPTsn1per

Dude, I was joking. There are several people around here that are friendly, good-natured people/

I am indifferent to "the herb", though. It is practical for cancer patients.

[CORRUPTsn1per]

@ApolloEROGILK I assure you pot smoking has nothing to do with how annoying, or loudmouthed they are. Noir does it when it comes to the rap. If anything do not hate the herb. Thats never a bad trait.

[ImHereForGod]

Hey, im really big on sword fighting and i want to find some place with amtarg members and battles but i dont know where to go... Have any ideas?

Dude, I live in Tennessee, and I know people who play this. In fact, I have a few friends who introduced it to me today, and I begin my first match this Sunday.

The reason I mention Tennessee, is because 75 percent of the population are wanna-be rednecks, red necks, and annoying pot smoking, loud mouthed, rap loving douchebags.

I don't mean to be rude, but it is a little true....

[Jknotter]

I used to do this with sticks with my brothers all the time, i think its the costumes that make it gay
