If we want to start an argument about who's acting a preteen, who's 60 and acting 100, who's 30 and acting 30, and who's 12 acting 30, then fine, but I'm out.

And I don't think this argument needs to continue, either.

I read the first post and skipped the rest. Star wars: jedi acadamy allows you to chop of arms. Lugaru shouldn't have head to toe slices, but limb loss and decapitation are ok in my book :twisted:

I agree But only IF and this Is IF, There are Chainsaws and Really Powerful Metals in the Game.

Chainsaws. . . hopefully not in the actual game but I guess they could be entertaining as a debug weapon.

Powerful metals? i.e. Roentgenium? Explain yourself Colicedus.

Some Samurai Blades Were Powerful Enough to Cleave though a Person Cleanly. Some were made out of Powerful Metals and Made well. it might Add the Thing i said I hated but It might be fun doing a Kill bill Carnage.

I only saw one scene of kill bill and it was so gory it made me laugh. Real blood that isn't on my computer screen makes me either puke, or keel over!

But actual blood splattered across your keyboard and monitor is ok?

Yeah, but those were lightsabers which would automatically sever any part of the body they came in contact with.
Swords would not encompass the same outcome. You try cutting off someone's arm with a sword and let me know how that turns out.

If you hacked at it a bit, or hit REALLY REALLY HARD, or got incredibly lucky and hit a crack somehow, you could.

Katana were tested by preference on human bodies, either cadavers or condemned criminals. (Since all crimes were capitol crimes in Japan at the time, there were plenty of them.)

The number of bodies and type of cut was marked on the tang of the weapon, e.g. "5 bodies O-kesa (shoulder to hip)."

Sometimes, the unlucky test targets were seated, tightly packed back to belly, and an experienced sword tester cut through as many of them as he could, through the spine under the ribcage. The record was 12 or 13.

Taking off an arm with one blow would have been easy for a skilled swordsman with a fine katana. Taking off a finger accidentally while cleaning or mishandling a blade was not unheard of.

The blades were made of laminated low carbon steel, alternating hard and soft layers. The layers were hammered and folded again and again, producing thousands of laminations.

The best blades were made in a similar way, but had a laminated core of soft steel encased in a laminated covering of harder steel. The laminations on these blades could reach a million.

Selective tempering and quenching produced a flexible core with an incredibly hard exterior layer. About one fifth of an inch of its edge was made of metal so hard that it held a razor sharpness during repeated use in battle.

It would be tough to make a sword out of roentgenium, since only a few atoms have ever been produced. Roentgenium's most stable isotope, roentgenium-280, has a half-life of about 3.6 seconds. It has no use outside of basic scientific research.

It was meant in sarcasm, Usagi. He said powerful metals which is odd since, even with a flexible definition of powerful, few metals are powerful alone and unaltered. Now would you other people please stop fawning over him and use the time wasted on building your Usagi-shrine on learning something interesting yourself instead.

By the way none of that is meant to offend anyone.

Figured that out right away; my intention was to respond in a dry, pedantic way for humorous effect. The effect is difficult to achieve without a dry, pedantic voice to go with it. Sorry. I could use emoticons or smilies, I guess, but I don't much like 'em. I think I'll make some Emoturnercons instead. Pretend my response had one of these after it:Image

True; I assume you chose roentgenium because of the absurditiy (or the cool name), but I think plutonium is better. You really could make a sword out of it; with only a few atoms in existence, and those only sticking around 3 or 4 seconds, a roentgenium sword would be really hard to hold. But I bet it would go through armor.Image

How could I not be offended? I've never had anyone fawn over me; I bet I'd like it! And here you are telling them to stop. I think I will become a hero: maybe even a Super-duper Hero! (You better hope I don't come back as the Hulk.Image)
