I know I have said little, rather new here but hoping to make some friends while we're here. Me on the left with my Dad and older brother at sister's beach wedding, w00t!

To all those in uniform, thanks for serving.

Thank you for thanking us. If not for appreciative civilians, how would we ever afford to get drunk? Surely not from our EXTRAVAGANT military pay.

So wait, a normal looking dude with glasses and headphones inquiring about a coat which was stated by the poster as "being part of a costume" is emo?

I've never seen an emo kid in a long coat. It would cover up their sweet band sweatshirt and the fashionable skinny jeans.
At least get your subgenre stereotypes correct.

Your post is all about speculation based on an inquiry from one person to another about a COAT. That's a pretty solid base to make some assumptions, I'll admit.

So here's me, pulling a you, based on the pictures you posted.

Generalization: OMG he smokes pot. Oh and he's 30? What a cool guy.

Actuality: I used to smoke pot too. Then I graduated high school and moved the **** on.

Generalization: Check out that facepaint and black metal gear. Upside down cross spray painted on a t shirt? So kvlt.

Actuality: Nice make up. If I knew nothing about the genre, I'd assume you were covering an ICP song. Kind of like making fun of someone for a trench coat. Surely Shagrath and Immortal would never wear such a piece of clothing, not while full studded bracers are still in.

It's really too bad we have to label others, and be mean, based on their looks; I thought we were done with that sort of childish garbage. Having fun with someone is one thing, but it's becoming easier to tell when someone is denigrating another for the sake of being an ***.

Out of armor with the girl (#2 out of 3 kidlets) a couple years ago at the La Brea tarpits.

How does it feel getting hammered at the head with a sword?

5 1/2 foot danish axe is fun as well.

Helms are pretty good at absorbing impact and reducing the risk of injury, but you know when you've been hit. Love it. Been doing it for over 20 years.

You like getting hit in the head with a sword?

Any headaches and such?

Hos sturdy are the equipment?

I'm good, I don't get hit in the head. I hit in the head. Ok, not true, but I am good and do the hitting more often than I get hit.

Equipment is very sturdy. More so than the medieval equivalent actually, has to survive years of abuse, where a medieval warrior would get an armorer to fix the dent's after every battle. The helm in that picture is 12 gauge steel on the top to the line just above the eyes and 14 gauge steel on the cheek plates and side skirt. Also, we're not completely nuts. The swords are made of wood (though they weigh as much if not more than a medieval sword) of not less than 1.25" thick. So it's not like all that energy is going into a thin line, it's a bit spread out. Leaves neat looking bruises where you don't have armor.

And no, no headaches unless you get hit way too hard. If it's going to happen it's usually by something being wielded with two hands. Possible one handed, but pretty rare. We're a safe extreme sport. We want to keep playing for a long time.

Not an exact quote from Journey-Quest...

"Glory, have you been hit in the head often?"

"Why, yes, hundreds of times. Why do you ask?"

"That explains it!"

I love Journey-Quest.

It's a little beach I go to called Bean Hollow. On the San Mateo Coast, Bean Hollow is 17.5 miles south of Half Moon Bay and three miles south of Pescadero on Highway One. Lots of tidepools, a little sand beach, and almost nobody ever there!
