Watch out, Skyrim is trash on PS3. Well, once you get deep into the game at least.

It gets extremely laggy and buggy once your save exceeds 6mb. Still an outstanding game, but that's something to keep in mind.

I got a box of Innistrad for Christmas, so I'm celebrating my {Snapcaster Mage} and {Geist of Saint Traft}!   Except that I ran out of room for my commons so I'm going to spend the rest of Christmas Day trying to find a way to store them -_-

Tried fencing once. (with swords encased in foam) do so well in open spaces/flat terrain. Did magnificently in narrow spaces/treacherous terrain. What kind of style is that? What kind of style do you have?

Katana is designed for cutting, not fencing, in narrow spaces you would use wakizashi which is shorter, or even tanto which is a knife.

Fencing weapon such as rapier is not a good matchup for anything Japanese.

As someone who has been fencing nearly a decade I can verify this. The fact we can't realistically parry means we are no match for a katana or murumasa!

Umm, I wasn't clear. Katana cannot realistically parry either, and rapier has much bigger range. I wouldn't want to face rapier while holding katana in the open.
