Apparently I hadn't noticed, but I seem to be getting lots of smiles and waves from cute girls around here. One in particular that worked with me in C++1. ^_^

*Walks in*

Ok, lets see, all going well...

Now I'm on piste, what was it, 10? 14?

OH GOD HOW IS HE MOVING LIKE THAT


Basically I entered a fencing competition, and happened to face an international fencer from Hong Kong first match :I
Never before have I seen someone stab someone in the back blind, whilst doing a freaking 360 and the matrix at the same time.

...

I was knocked out pretty quickly.

.....Epee?

Cause foil fencing doesn't involve much fancy body movement and saber usually turns into a Wild West quickdraw, where they lunge at each other simultaneously.

And that's the thing, it was foil. He was all over the place, and it was working. I'm not sure if anyone knew exactly what to do

The obvious answer is to dual-wield, and then administer Capoeria.

Showing up at a fencing tournament, dual wielding, would be pretty boss.


WTF-ish: friend of mine organised a "marketing stunt": a naked soccer team playing on one of our largest squares in the middle of the city.

Show up to the tournament screaming, "It's Nito-Ryu time!"

Googlception

I posted this and I wanted to find to strip with this comment.

So I googled "Dear readers, this comic is a work of fiction"

Google found http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=53879.msg2828497#msg2828497 - my previous post in this thread.

I was slaughtered in my own WCIII custom game by someone who had never played WCIII before.

Darn button mashers!


What kind of custom map? A melee one? TD?

Somebody on the bus said to me 'If you're driving a car and somebody shits on the windshield, don't turn on the wipers. That only makes it worse.'

Whaaaaaaa? I don't want to know how he knows this.

We just got in a 1TB external hard drive I'm supposed to back up the data from.

It's full.  like, 8MB free.

The majority of it is taken up by a 970GB LOG FILE.

But....the back isn't even a legal target in foil. Only the chest. Everything from the waist up is legal in saber, and EVERYTHING is legal in epee (which is why epee rocks).

As someone who fenced for a while, epee is awesome. Nothing says awesome like flicking a blade to bend and hit their hand over their blade guard. Getting close and using the blade behind your back is another fun tactic. However when I fenced I was overweight, so I just used my height and long arms to lunge people for massive points. I was still surprisingly good at dodging though.

Word of advice though, you might hurt someone if you don't know your own strength and don't have depth perception when stabbing someone with a sword.
