Games by Demoman on  Jul 17, 2011

Part 1 and Part 2 of the Demon's Souls Boss Run are up now. Gonna record a few more bosses tonight and afterwards, only 2 or 3 will be left to conquer.

I started the script for the Knight vs Samurai videos. I am going to do an intro, swords, shield, polearms, other hand weapons, long range, armor, and tactics. I may do a conclusion video, but I am not sure. But to give you something interesting to read, here is the intro script (I will likely not follow the scripts much, they are more outlines so I know what all points to make).

 

Hello, Demoman here in the flesh. I am going to be doing a series discussing one of the most highly debated subjects on the Internet that involves weapons, medieval European knight vs feudal Japanese samurai. I am going to discuss weapons, armor,and battle tactics. I've done quite a lot of research on this subject and I've compiled a lot of data on the two contenders. I've used many weapons in the past and I'll try to be as unbiased as I can.
Firstly I'll talk about the katana vs the longsword and shield, plus some of the techniques for each. I'll do that bit on camera but I'll have to use pictures backed with voice over for the rest since I don't have what I need for that. I'll go over the different pole arms for each side, other hand weapons such as the axe, as well as ranged weapons. I'll compare different armors. After I get through with weapons and armor, I'll try and talk about the fighting tactics each side would use. After all is said and done, we will know who really is the king of melee warfare.
I want to point something out before we get started.  There are 5 types of damage melee weapons can do. Cutting, hacking, thrusting, piercing, and blunt. Each type has its good and bad points. Cutting is good against flesh, but less effective against armor. Hacking is good against armor, but not as effective against flesh as cutting. Thrusting is good against flesh, but not great against most armor types. Piercing is the best way to get through armor, but is the hardest to use well. Blunt is a good all arounder, but again is difficult to manage.
