Embedded videos (Updated)

Hey, you. Stop linking to videos on other sites. Embed them instead.

I replaced the old one with one that just works with Youtube. That's the most popular one of the bunch, and the other system was a bit bloated and buggy anyway. Simply use [video] tags, and put the end of the tag inbetween. For instance:

{video}4d0l0KHwr4c{/video} (replace { and } with [ and ]). That's the last part of the tag after http://youtube.com/watch?v=

Keep your use of videos to a reasonable level. There should be only a few per topic and one per post.

^Wait, did that guy just stick a blade into a hilt? That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen in the long and glorious history of inaccurate video game swordplay.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Also in Vagrant Story, the power of the Dark allows you to merge a spear with a hammer and get a crossbow (okay, I don't know if that's what actually happens, but you can get some funky crap from mixing weapon types).

But still, what's wrong with a weapon with a detachable blade? Especially in a game where you might want to move your Ghost busting blade from a crappy wooden hilt to a hilt that gives an attack boost and has a couple gem slots so you can pop in a couple Trinities and gain even more strength against Ghosts?

In every youtube video link, there are a bunch of numbers that appear after the "v=" part. All you have to do is copy that and paste it inbetween video tags.

Well, thinking about it, the hilt sockets are probably magic, but if they weren't, the thing would come apart at the first heavy blow or deep thrust.

Even if the hilt clamps the blade like it does in that movie?

Yep. A strong broadsword would snap that clamp so fast your head would figuratively spin before your opponent made it literally spin.
Unless, like I said, your clamp is enchanted.

Whelp, since the game's explanations for hovering platforms, block puzzles that reset themselves when you leave the room, the leveling of your weapons against certain monsters when you whack them enough, why enemies vanish when you kill them, and when you learn new moves is arcane magick through the power of the Dark, the reason the weapons don't break can be that too.

Arrow I like swords.

For that katana, at least, the blade goes straight into a handle, which encases the metal so you can get a good grip on it. Maybe that blade has that sort of thing going.

Okay, Codie, I'll back off. I was just pointing out that one thing is all, and like I said, after thinking for a second I realized the thing was probably magic.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Guys, there's no need for 18 million videos in the same topic. One is enough.
