Re: I think that is the point. Timthetrolloc Send a noteboard - 31/03/2010 01:33:04 AM
RJ is not a sword expert, and neither are we. In this way, RJ can cloak his ignorance of sword fighting in these vague sword forms and allow our minds to supply the details. Each form suggests a unique image to our minds. I enjoy letting my imagination fill in the blanks in these fights.

You are absolutely right. Each form does bring something to mind but it just irks me that we don't know what they are doing most of the time. sometime descriptions are included with the sword form but its the ones that don't have anything describing them that gets to me.

I agree - IRL I often notice that it's less "men" vs "women", and moreso personality clashes. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 31/03/2010 02:45:16 PM 972 Views

It's less of a theme and more like a case of mental derangement RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/04/2010 09:04:58 PM 957 Views
it's even more frustrating that it started to be used for a while darius_sedai - 08/04/2010 11:51:42 AM 990 Views
