The company Cold Steel has demos for every one of their swords on their website. Perhaps most impressive is their greatsword demo. Watch in fascinated horror as burly guys chop big pieces of pig.

It’s a bit over the top, but it does give you a sense of what real medieval combat would have looked like.

If you come across someone swinging one of these, you want to be sure that you have either a high dex bonus, or are wearing some serious armor.

Character Sheet-style Resume for the Geeky Job Hunter

Times are tough, there’s a lot of people out there looking for work. Even those of us with skills and abilities that are capable of great feats are barely getting by. So, I thought I would show you this great character sheet-inspired resume I found on Hongkait.

Finally, all you job hunters out there can quantify your ranks in ‘rope use’ or ‘disable device’, and brag about your +10 to hit with a keyboard.

So, roll up some confidence and get out there and slay an interview or two! Any experience points are good experience points.
