Thread: A Song Of Ice And Fire

Swinging a Broadsword is a pain in the ass. I had a real one in my hand once. Those things are heavy as shit.

Yay! Success. Trust me you will not regret it.

Why the Fuck can't I get to page 3 ?

Who's excited for season 2 next week?

More titties and chainmail.

I bought the books and the first season on DVD, but I just can't be arsed to start them. Maybe it's because I'm hooked on Downton Abbey at the moment.

I got bored waiting for the second season, so I also got the books. I enjoyed them. Now I'm bored waiting for the last 2 to come out.

Strangely enough seeing the characters in the TV series didn't ruin them for me. All too often if you do that, you keep picturing the characters as they were in the series. Once I started reading the books, I forgot what the characters looked like (except for Eddard, but that's Sean Bean, so it's a different thing) and just think of how they're described in the books.

Just noticed this.
Well it depends what you mean by a broadsword (usually a basket hilt or an arming sword, but can also be used to describe back swords and longswords). Even most longswords are only about 1.6Kg though, I wouldn't say that was that heavy.
