You know you've read too much berserk when...

You know you've read too much berserk when your friend gives you a toaster strudel and somehow this happens

This is the greatest thing since pop-tarts.
Its so great I'm thinking of using it as my avatar... made my day

Lol, feel free to take it. Glad it amused someone besides myself.

[Death&Rebirth]

That should be on the fan-art thread...

Welcome to the club.

You watch the first episode of Heroes and start going 'OH NOOOOOOO, NOT THE ECLIPSE....' and confusing people. Also when you go visit parents or mates in the Midlands (central area of UK for all ye furrinours out there) you insist on calling it Midland, and equally confusing people.. (Used to call it Middle Earth, Im easily influenced really)
And referring to Hawkwind as the band of the Hawk...
Lucky the last total eclipse I saw was long before I'd heard of Berserk really.

Also for the people like me who when they first got into the manga read all of it in a marathon over the course of a few days, it really does odd things to your dreams in high enough doses..

you've read too much berserk if you're dedicated enough to color all the blood droplets flying through the air in berserked's signature lol

And I am once again left in complete and utter awe and the sheer level of both detail and accuracy that Miura employs in his work.

I saw this big ass broad sword at the pawn shop the other day, not on sale yet , but it looked just like gut's sword before the dragon slayer. I asked the clerk if it was real steel and how much was it if it went on sale, he said no it was iron (that's what real swords are made out of, I didn't know this until I looked it up later on) and he estimated around $1,000. So I got a question would you be willing to raise the money for it? I'm thinking of buying it but not sure.

Yeah sure....where do I send the money?

[lon3vvolf]

Just send the money to me. I'm a prince of Nigeria who has assets frozen and only need $1000 to get 37 million of my assets from the government.

(Never really read those scam emails for money but I think they sound something like that)

I know this is off topic, but I got an actual 1:1 scale replica of Clouds/Angeals Buster sword from Final Fantasy VII. Thing is heavy. I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

[Starnum]

Wow, really? That sounds sweet. How tall is it?

[The Herald]

... when every song on your ipod becomes part of a future Berserk AMV. So for me that includes all the from Metallica, through Sarah McLaughlan, to James Taylor, plus some FF soundtracks for good measure.

[lon3vvolf]

... when you argue with that F*CK who made the Berserk movie thread!

[fujinsan]

Wow, really? That sounds sweet. How tall is it?

If your talking to me it was about four to five feet, I saw it from over the counter in the back where they keep all of their goodies. By the way shits still there, I think I'll buy it if I get the damn money in time.

[Istvan]

I did at first, but eventually realized from his responses how utterly pointless bothering to argue was.

Actually I was talking to Lonewolf.

I would like to see those pics, and I'm curious about how you got it and how much it ran you. I wouldn't mind having one myself, you see.

AHhh I've been trying to take some already. Got called into work for some overtime and planning something for the weekend. I might get a chance to take some tomorrow afternoon... You'll be the first one to know. And the price, I don't know... it was a gift which I have no idea where to place in my already 'videogame-anime' inspired clusterfuck of a room.

In the meantime here this (gift from 2 years ago, scale is 50% real size)
Buster sword with materia slots.


On a side note... I was pissed off one day and swung that bitch... thing flew apart and separated into pieces. Luckily it was put back together with this expanding glue so its stable now, but no more swinging until I get myself a DS or something.

[Starnum]

Heh, that's cool. Well hopefully your full size Buster Sword is put together better than that one. I hate it when swords can't even be swung without falling apart. Reminds me of this daimyo set I got once. I was totally stoked until I actually pulled the blades out and checked them...yeah. I tried to swing the main katana once and the blade bent. I striaghtend it out and put it away. It's not even worth displaying IMO. My real katana is WAY better, heh.

[lon3vvolf]

Well you asked, and after a long delay here it is, my other novelty sword:
Sorry for the bad quality pics, had to use my back up camera and had no one to take the pics for me.
As you can see it weighs approximately 10 lbs, which is damn heavy for a practical sword. Most swords used in battle ranged between 3-10 lbs, with claymores being on the heavy end of the spectrum.



I'm about 6'3 so you can estimate how tall it is.
And heres me goofing off with it:


Its heavy as hell to hold with one hand. 10 lbs isn't much, but when you hold it at an end it does get heavy.



Also note the horrible hair cut. Guess thats what I get for going to a barber academy...

[Starnum]

Ok, cool. Thanks for the pics. It's still not as big as I was hoping, since you said 1:1. I mean the blade of the actual Buster Sword has got to be wider. Heh, either that or Cloud is just tiny, could be. Also, you'd think the back of the blade would be blacker, but I'm just being nit-picky I guess. In any case, cool none the less.

[Buuhan1]

*kicks all the FF7 junk out of the thread, and slaps you two* No, bad! Baad!

You know you've read too much Berserk when you take a shit, and your turd is shaped like the behelit.

I got that idea due to the fact I DO have to take a shit, excuse me.

[Rolos]

You know you have read too much Berserk when you spend the 8 hours you should have spent studying for the midterm math Exam philosophizing with a bunch of friends about the meaning of our existence, taking as a base the need for a reason Idea explained all humans have, and using Gatts and Griffith as the two main figures in whatever analogy you make to clarify a point you are making.

Wow. Eight consecutive hours? That's...impressive.
