[Last Samurai Katana]
Maybe I should start by saying that I am very pleased with my new purchase. I picked up a replica of the Last Samurai Katana used in the film. It is a fully functional blade, hand made from high carbon steel, is full-tang, and has a razor sharp blade and a meaningful engraving along the blade which reads, “Since ancient times through the present, God is with those who serve with dignity and honor”.
The level of detail on this katana is amazing and it’s engraving gives it so much more life. As soon as I came across it, I knew I had to pick it up. I’m kind of a nerd for little things and accessories like this so I may look into picking up a few other similar pieces.


The hardwood handle is tightly wrapped with a black nylon wrap allowing for a secure grip and traditional copper is used for the tsuba and fittings. A shiny glossy finish coats the scabbard, making it a very attractive display piece.
I was able to pick this item up from Trueswords.com. They have a huge collection of items at great prices and have gotten great reviews from collectors and customers. I would definitely suggest checking out the site to anyone interested in items like this. Whether you may be looking for pieces for cosplay, fully functional blades, display pieces, or collectors items, you will have a huge selection of items to choose from.
This is my first katana/sword, so it is very special to me. I cleaned it and re-oiled it right out of the box due to the factory oil and some wood shaving residue.
And I of course did not hesitate to give it a few swings as a test run, which ended quickly after accidentally cutting my finger and almost chopping one of the blades off of my living room ceiling fan.
Now even though I am in no way a ninja or samurai, holding this bad boy makes me feel one step closer to being a badass ninja assassin…So now…Next up on the list…….A lightsaber…??? o_O

[Video Games...]
Maybe I should start by saying how not only cool and awesome this animation is, but also how appreciative I was of the fact that Musclebeaver featured Guybrush Threepwood, Lechuck and other characters from the classic Monkey Island series; one of my favorite and most enjoyed game series of all time (which was recently revived).
Other gaming titles and characters such as Super Mario Bros, Doom, Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft, Pong, Pac Man, and Space Invaders are featured in the animation as well. Check out the video below…

MSLBVR 2008 (c): “This animation we did was planned and animated for the prologue of a documentary. (That explains the absurd, unfinished seeming, ending.That is where the actual documentary starts…. ) The briefing was to show an evolution of computer games. The documentary itself is about different people, based here in germany, showing their everyday life, and their addiction to the same specific, famous MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game):”WoW..”. Every game character in this prologue was reinterpreted, redrawn (…one pixel at a time), and animated frame by frame.

Twitter: What are you doing???
Maybe I should start by touching on a new innovative internet craze that has been growing rapidly though out society; and that innovation is Twitter…I was unfortunately out of the loop for a while and throughout much of the growing stages and not to long ago was it that I fully learned what Twitter actually was, even though I had been hearing about it here and there. But for those of you who don’t know, Twitter “is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?“ (Twitter.com)
At first, I thought of Twitter to just be a stupid idea and was placed onto my list of ridiculous things that people do, like or associate themselves with. Especially with seeing many of my friends leaving Twitter like messages in their AIM Away Messages time and time again, to the point where an away message was transformed into a current status update or mood expression (Which I myself even started doing at times). So, long story short…I ended up creating a Twitter account and follow a bunch of friends and celebraties, as well as have a few (very few) followers for myself…(LoL)
But anyways…Here is a video that I came across on YouTube, that makes fun of Twitter. I found it to be somewhat amusing…But either way…You be the judge…LoL…Check it out…

25 Things I Hate About Facebook…!!!
Maybe I should start by doubling up on the funnies this week and throw in another video that I cam across which I found to be both very funny and very true. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Facebook is a great site which is very useful for networking, keeping in touch with friends and a few other fun uses. However, there are plenty of aspects of the site that get very annoying both on their own and based on how people use them. So, check out Julian Smith’s video “25 Things I Hate Aboue Facebook”…
