It was a "JOKE" Dave. You may think it contributed "nothing whatsoever" to the forum but with the mood of GDC recently, I thought we all could use a laugh.
Don't close the drapes on all the sunshine Dave, we all could use a little ray of fun now and then... and it's getting pretty dark in here...
Oh, and if you want a "contribution" from me about the sword, here it is: I DON'T KNOW! If I knew it was good OR bad I would say so! But I don't so I thought we could all use a little giggle.
PS- My post was NOT "calculated to pointed to insult" anyone! I can provide references of all of my highschool math teachers who will attest to the fact that I cannot reliably calculate ANYTHING!!! That was another joke, this time at my expense.... should I censor myself? I am just glad to see that everyone is thoroughly enjoying this hobby and not taking things too seriously... afterall, that would take all the FUN out of it, right???
