It's a period piece.

Laying the smack down on a buddy of mine in the SCA (sword going into left side of his head).



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

Sword and board. I like it.

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.

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 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!

Thank you for proving my point that appearances are the most defining aspect of a person. OH WAIT.

No one here was talking about anything emo, no one here was talking about vampires, except you. Did an emo vampire in a long coat break your heart or something, now you can never forgive them and are raising awareness against their kind?

For someone as "30 and totally YOLO" I'd expect you to have seen the episode of South Park where the goth kids get pissed at the vampire kids. Kind of like what you're doing. I know the kid in you wants the frosted side, but *** **** you're just going to start **** with someone you don't know ANYTHING ABOUT and then your rebuttal statement is "emo's need to stop crying an cuting them self's all the time..." My mind is blown.

Not one person in here went "HEY IM EMO, I'm telling you so you know exactly who to aim your stereotypes at" and no vampire crawled out of their pretend coffin and paled up their face and went "Hey, Vampire here, ready for ridicule whenever you are cool guys."

And saying I obviously know nothing about the genre? I spent 6 years in Germany, rotating between Wacken, Rock am Ring, Rock am Park, and (when it was there) Unholy Alliance tour. Keep taking wild, ferocious dumps in your bed while trying to argue your justification for being a jackass. I'm sure you'll have lots of time to think of a witty response while "chillaxin hardcore style" on your way to work (could have said minimum wage job, but I didn't, because I don't know that about you.) I'm basing my statement on a picture of you, chillaxin en route to your place of employment. THAT'S HOW YOU AVOID VERBAL RAPE

SOMEBODY REGISTER ME ON MEGANS LAW, I SHOULDNT HAVE DUN THAT HES JUST A BOY MMHMM

Appreciate that. Manners are the only thing you can control on the internet, and even then just yours. Well done.
