Goddammit, Zelda. -_-

Hahahaha I wonder what the gf's name is. Only way this gets better is if money was in that flower pot. LMAO

Im going to hell for sure, I laughed all the way through it....lol!

Those anchors played it straight, but they knew what they were doing.  - laughing so hard it hurts. lol

who the hell has a master sword?

Lol, I think there are probably a few people like this guy who go to cons and have at least toy replicas. 

I don't need no stinkin gun for home protection, I got the motherfuckin Master Sword! 

If some one is comig at me with a sword and the best thing I can find to defend my self is a flowerpot, I am going to run. No shame at all. lol.

Yeah, it would be either that, or I'd have an Indiana Jones "fuck this I have a gun" moment. Hopefully, my decision wouldn't be influenced by dysentery, like it was in that case. lol 

Yes! Misadventures of Link was great. Need to badger Matt R about bringing that back.

What was it exactly? I've just been linking to that with my Zelda-related blogs recently. I'll check it out later. I'm still wanting to go through all of Tour de 64. Speaking of which, for long-lasting features like that, MIA, etc., it'd be cool to have dedicated pages for them with an archive of entries in those series, I think. There's tons of great content on here from before I joined. 

Technically, there is. If you go to Features, you can filter the articles based on their type and see the whole archive. Similar filtering abilities are available across all of the sections.

Misadventures of Link was a comic series that Matt R drew and captioned. If you click the article series at the top of this blog and then the name of the series on that page, you can see them all!

Gotcha, I will do that, thanks!

Sweet, I'll check those out! I want to make a comic series myself sometime. This place just keeps getting better and it didn't even change this time. lol

Haha, glad to hear it! Yeah, lots of stuff tucked away in the archives. It's tough to do a good job of showing this stuff off, but let's just say I'm currently working on something to amend that...

Video games cause violence! Confirmed. NOT!

Lol. There are enough studies that prove a strong correlation or short-term effects for me to accept that violent media can have an effect on the brain and encourage an increase in violent behavior for a short period of time, but as far as this having anything to do with it or GTA being responsible for murderers ... yeah, no, I'm with you there. 

You can't scientifically prove causation, at least not with any method I know of, between media and certain behaviors, only strong correlations from which you can infer it. Most of the strong links have been shown in experimental research, which is problematic, since that research takes place in a lab and not a fully real-life setting by definition. I think if you were to do a longitudinal study study that asked if people who grew up in my gen watching Power Rangers vs. people who grew up watching Leave it to Beaver, you'd see that those in my gen did have more aggressive thoughts and actions overall, but not having conducted or read a study like that, I can't say for sure. 

Sorry to get all scientific, but media research like what you kind of alluded to is the focus of my Master's degree. 

Not a problem. That was quite enjoyable to read. And I would agree that video games can cause short-term effects with violence. Heck, I remember punching my brother after playing a multiplayer game!

And that's another thing that makes this stuff hard to study. Was it the game doing that, or just the fact your brother was pissing you off? Obviously, some combination of both, but which is more to blame overall?

Yeah, it would be a combination of both. Actually, I couldn't throw the blame on games at all, because losing a match and punching my brother really came down to poor sportsmanship.

That was pretty funny. Thanks for the laugh! ! I might have to check out this Misadventures of Link series.

I love that this site has a comic series. I hope Nick can convince Matt to do it again.

Wow, that's crazy. At least the woman they were fighting over wasn't harmed.

Seems like the guy giving the interview got a minor scrape compared to the asshole ex, so justice was served in my view.

I'm surprised the media hasn't tried to connect this to Grand Theft Auto.

I remember seeing this last night on the news and my first thought was "I thought those swords were toys". 

Come to think of it, Zelda is already kind of open world in a way, they just need to add medieval bars in the dungeons and let you fuck the fountain fairies to regain your health and they're two steps ahead to making Ye Grande Larceny Epona.

I think most swords of this kind are toys, but the guy said he cosplays and whatnot, so he may be a big enough fan to commission the real thing for himself.  

Men, WAKE UP!

No woman these days are worth a sword in the gut, i'm sorry. But think about it.

As, my man, SquadLeader pointed out you simps gets hospitalized and where is she?

Probably doing the nasty with another bloke with no damage what so ever.

What a waist of a good Sword. My ThunderCats replica is at the ready for when the revolution comes

Given what you just wrote, I think a He-Man sword would suit you. You could yell about Grayskull while you used it and then say, "get back, ye She-Hulk!"

Yeah but i'm a cat person

So am I. Not seeing your point here. 

I'll be in hell with Nicoleb, laughed my ass off all the way through. The girlfriend was the one who called and then let the guy in, she should shoulder the blame for the whole incident, in my opinion.

She won't, women who start fights between to dudes never do.

One will go to Jail, one will go to Hell (pronounce that as Hail, to make it ryhme)

Why isn't Eminem here to make that rhyme? He hates women and had that whole interview about rhyming orange by slanting the rhyme ("Nothing rhymes with organge? That phrase pisses me off! Here are slant rhymes to prove my point!" I like Eminem, but that was not a good look lol), he'd be perfect for this.

Doorhinge rhymes with Orange, HA!

If you speak it pronouncing the "h," it doesn't. That phrase and word are actually still considered slant rhyming, because you have to take the "h" sound out of hinge to make it work. 

Oh yes it does Joe, I'll argue thiis to the Death!

With the same amount of silibles "ange" in Orange is pronounced in such a way that it's slured to sound like "inge".

Hinge.

Door-hinge. 

Or-range, said like ringe

So there!

Hmmm ... I still think it's a half rhyme. 

I was too busy paying attention to anything I could find to correlate with the Zelda universe to care about the severity or any relevant details of the case beyond that context. If this winds up being a lawsuit, I feel bad for the lawyer who has to keep a straight face ... and likely won't, cause he'll probably be a cheap one and therefore a drunk one who flubs the case. Yay U.S. justice.

The one reason I'm glad to be single....not as much drama and swords involved. lol. 

In my case, there's a sword involved, but there's no chance of getting stabbed in the eye, it's too far away on my body, although sometimes liquid projectiles might fly dangerously. 

Hi joe, i am a bit agree with you, becasue i am a big lover of replica swords and i have information about swords expecially about master sword replica, because this is one of my favorite sword, i am really very found about this swords and after this i just want to get handle folding swords but i didn't seee yet in live.. if any one have a bit knowledge about handle folding swords then please tell me about this where this will be available with very affordable prices...

Thanks

Well it could've been worse. It could've been Squall's gunblade.....
