I think mirrored it was a samurai symbol for honour or something.

This is interesting because it's sort of the exact opposite of what Christians/Catholics did with the crucifix, turning it from a horrific medieval torture device into something worth praising.

And now, having watched the trailer, I already know the full plot of the film. It is exactly like "The Last Samurai".

I'm more than a little frustrated by this trend.

if this isn't *gay, I don't know what is.

I'd nickname him the TechnoSamurai, but that would give all samurai in all history a bad name. (and he can't dance nearly as well as the TechnoViking)

Just embedded the playlist so the entire film will play in series.
It's looooong, but it really is a classic documentary worth watching. Skip to part 2 if you want to get straight to the demonstrations of Kenjutsu, Samurai sword use.

Wow, no Shadow Warrior fans here?

The geek is strong in this one.

I bet you have a name for your katana too.

There's one of my two Katanas. And yes, I took this with my Blackberry right this second, and yes, that is a photo of Chewbacca signed by Peter Mayhew. What you don't see next to it is the photo of Darth Vader signed by David Prowse.
And, yes, I am a geek, so shut up already.

^ But do you keep them sharp?



I keep that one in the photo quite sharp, yes. The other one is not of a high enough standard for me to bother maintaining the blade's edge. Just a silly collector Katana.

It's ok - God was on his side, luckily.


God has a fondness of samurai swords.

But the burglar was stealing his X-Box. So we could make the assumption that he, at one time, had played a video game on it.

Yes, but he was also a student at a university. Many different labels could have been applied to this person, such as "student" or "man", but the one that could imply something "else" was going on was chosen. Just sayin'.

You CAN get away with it!!!
Oh, and title is misleading as the story really has nothing to do with the kid being a gamer. It's not like he was playing Ninja Gaiden and was suddenly caught up in irresistible bloodlust and needed to chop someone.

But the burglar was stealing his X-Box. So we could make the assumption that he, at one time, had played a video game on it.

And I don't agree with the burglar's sister, she should feel honored her brother was killed with a samurai sword. Do you know how rare it is to be put the death the way they would've done it in Feudal Japan?

(CNN) -- A Johns Hopkins University student killed an apparent burglar with a samurai sword after discovering the man in his garage, police said Tuesday.

Baltimore, Maryland, police received a phone call shortly before 1:30 a.m. Tuesday about a suspicious person, and an off-duty officer arrived at the scene with campus security, city police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

When authorities arrived, they heard calls for help and for police, he said. They discovered a suspected burglar with a severed left hand and severe lacerations to his upper body, Guglielmi said.

The suspect died at the scene, he said.

The man had entered a home where several Johns Hopkins students lived, Guglielmi said. Four students, one armed with a samurai sword, had confronted the suspect in the garage.

The man "lunged" at the students, and the student with the sword defended himself, severing the man's left hand and cutting his upper body, Guglielmi said.

Police did not release the name of the suspect, who Guglielmi said had a long criminal history, or that of the student.

Police questioned the three witnesses, Guglielmi said, and released them. It was not immediately clear whether all four students lived at the house, he said.

Authorities are determining whether the student will face criminal charges, Guglielmi said.

Burglars had taken two laptops and a Sony PlayStation from the students' home Monday, Guglielmi said.

The burglary suspect had been released from prison Saturday, Guglielmi said.
