LARPing..
« on: August 24, 2005, 09:54:14 AM »
Mainly for the guys who were at JT Phoenix on Tuesday..but hilarious nonetheless.

Of course, the parallels between this and airsoft are easily drawn. I mean, there's a scene with the LARPer's Ganef making some GEARS~~~!

I think theres a difference between airsoft and beating people with foam bats covered with duct tape.

Not really ....

Same effort, same BS calling/ignoring hits, they put on armor - we use Camo.

I was in the SCA for about 15 years, and have the broken bones to prove it.

I would say its kind of cool.  Yes they need to get laid.. But who doesnt really?  I think while they might be a little more hardcore than we are, its not really that different.  

I say do what you enjoy, other wise whats the point in going to work everyday and busting your ass for the man.  

Just my 2 cents.  Take it or leave it I dont really care I have a lot more where that came from.

Nope. Acting like knights, claiming 'realms', and etc. What makes that geeky over what 'we' do:

1. We base this on what could happen, and what's happening now adays. They base their crap on realms, and etc. I'm sure theres worse things, but I only watched half the video before I threw up.

2. They wear robes.

Mixed feelings I have on this subject.

First I would not be cought dead wairing a kilt !!!

Second as strange as this looks it has its similarities with Airsoft. Just its gone midevil and corny.

If thats what they enjoy go for it!!!!

Personaly It would be funny to raid there field with a full Bravo ATTACK!!! :twisted:
