In my experience video game designers tend to take a lot of artistic liberties designing "cool swords" and then tack on a remotely cool sword-sounding name they may have picked up somewhere (often from mythology).

Also, just checked around a bit and found a sword that's very close in design. I was a bit surprised, but then again, it makes a little sense. Look familiar to anyone? I haven't found this exact version of the poster anywhere else though.

That's it! Now i remember why it was familiar. Thanks.

Once upon a time you could debate the politics of the Camarilla and the risk only is violating masquerade, this case being the mask one wears to hide they are a table top playing geek. Now you feel you got to avoid using the v-word out of fear of association.

The poster? All over the place, but the movie was so... Irrelevant.

I remember seeing something like 20 minutes of the movie, before declaring that not even Milla could save this movie from making me want to go on an homicidal rampage. So, yeah. xd

And for randomness, I found this REAL ACCURATE rant on Twilight.
*chuckles* Thanks.
Actually, about that issue, in general, along with this rant I wrote in my journal, I'd like to say that, after watching Bram Stoker's Dracula starring Gary Oldman, I find people who make a big deal about the whole "sunlight" issue to be hypocritical bastards. Well, either that or misinformed bumpkins. In the movie, which takes lines from the original novel's journal entries, it says that vampires can walk perfectly safe in sunlight; they are just weakened. Where did the lethal sunlight belief come from?

Nosferatu, featuring Graf Orlock. Nosferatu was originally a film made in Germany, but because during that time there were still copyright issues with Dracula (nowadays Dracula is free-use), various changes had to be made, such as the sunlight thing. Now, I can understand that because of the copyright issue, and I let that go. What I can't let go is that this sunlight thing inspired other vampire fiction to do the same from Blade to Daybreakers. Now, not only do vampires burn in the sunlight, they explode like Power-Rangers-monsters! That's as ridiculous as them sparkling! Also, vampire movies, like Blade, attract the attention of stupid American adult men, just like how Twilight attracts the attention of stupid American teenage girls.

Now, another ridiculous vampire weakness is running water (we'll skip holy items, and say that they only hurt vampires when thrown at them with force). What the hell is running water!? A river!? Do vampires lack the ability to pilot watercraft or fly (with wings or aircraft)!? What if a vampire goes to an airport? Would being on a flight be the same thing as flying themselves? But enough talk, have at you! ... And your responses.

I have questioned myself on the whole running water bit too.
I say that the water has to travel at a fast pace to consider running in my book and the size from bank to bank has to be at least a car and a half length for the vampire. Any smaller and they should be able to fly over. now why the running water? i think it's because of the air flow in certain areas with rivers. if it's a ton of crap to you i think it's fair in my part. Fast winds=unable to fly=swept away by water. I'm talking mostly ones that are fast running and are about 5 feet deep.

that is my theory anyways.

What about using planes and ships?

Random unrelated comment: what do you think of this kind of pictures?

Personally, I think the only passable one is Keine, and only because she looks more European than the others.

Plane means nothing but how can a vampire get on a plane in the first place, plus what if he got hungry?

Also by ship i hope you mean Boat...
As long as he doesn't change into a bat or stand up on the boat, it's alright. And yes i am implying Vampires suck at swimming.

Bridges are okay as well cause...he is walking.
Anything that involves using bat form over a deep,wide river results to the vampire going in the water and being swept away. it would not kill him, just it would be a pain in the a**. either then that, water to him is like a human. Not like the Wicked Witch of the west.

Same about Keine. But i may have a thing with Teachers with blue hair and changes during a full moon to green.

I plan on either making a video of every TMNT thing that Eastman and Laird don't blatantly dismiss, or a compilation of things I like.

If I do the latter, I'll include clips of whatever I can download regardless of whether it is Japanese or not.

Also, just once I would like to see realistic art of blatantly non-Asian-looking characters that does nothing more than give the person human proportions, doing absolutely nothing else about their appearance.

              Aya and Sanae made me greatly frown. I agree that the only passable one is Keine, though I'm not fond of that expression she's making.

Plane trips usually take less than a day, and a vampire only need 200 ccs of blood a week to maintain their status quo.

then it's no problem. The River Theory is what i deducted from nature shows/and many other Vampire movies/book that talk about rivers.
Like the theory of the "Steak through the heart" insta death.
It has to be in the middle of the heart, not left or right part. Plus if you do it to a vampire who bit other people, the people he bit and the bitten vampires who bit so and so get turned back normal....i think that is wrong. humans who are bit should at the least be near death. One, they got bit on a major vein, and two, if they are relived of there vampire curse within 48 hours, they can still live. one minute late and if he/she gets turned back, they die.
That is how i want it to be.

The way I see it is that since vampires don't exist, there is no wrong way to portray them. Bizarre ways (Twilight?) maybe, but not wrong ways.
