Um, I take it that you have never fought in your life seeing as how what you said is so blatantly false. I can swing a sword as fast as I can swing a dagger. And know what? I'll hit more often due to weapon length.
You - go get a clue before saying something so silly.

It'd be nice if they still did updates to 10.2 for us cheapies.
o yourself a favor and read the Demon Princes books (5 in all) and the Planet of Adventure series (4 books in all). Let's not and say we did.
WHAT!? He's an exception to modern SF being boring. Please.
*Pulls hair* I am so SICK of everybody comparing modern authors to J.R.R.T. Tolkien is seriously over-rated.
