Love my toys....

well I started collecting bladed weapons. So far I have a samurai sword replica, ninja sword and a big sharp dagger ;D
I guess they are more displays than toys ;)

I seem to be a sucker for new games, I just got farcry from my brother for my brother and its awesome. I also have an evergrowing collection of ps2 games (most of which I don't ever play :) )

What kind of katana? Or maybe it's a wakizashi? And I assume that's a ninja-to you have?

The samurai sword is a cheap replica off ebay and looks a little like this only in red. My brother also got me a book on samurai swords which I haven't yet read in detail. I'm hoping to get an antique katana when I have plenty of spare cash :D
One day, in the future, when I've made my millions from my computer games I'll buy a collection of proper antique swords ;)

You'd be surprised how cheap you can find swords at flea markets. Sure, some are just for show (you can usually tell by how thick the blade is).

But a bunch are rather legit. I mean, people still make swords for movies, reenactments, etc.

Heh; one fellow on GameDev is a swordsmith in his spare time. Just built a huge forge for personal use.

The problem is that a really good sword costs a bloody fortune. A usable sword costs only about 150€ or so, a usable and pretty good (but still fairly mass-produced) one maybe double that, but a really good one - expect 5000+€...

It's the same for japanese swords, only with even higher prices.

Well, I got a brand new Harley Davidson this year.

Also two helmets, lots of new clothes, and I put a order for a lower suspension shocks and some chrome parts, they should arrive from USA soon.

I will buy some new boots, probably the next week.
Also, I have plans for a really delayed tattoo, I never find the time to do it.

I really don't buy tech equipment, unless I really need it, I prefer to save money for going out, fuel, travels, etc.

I only buy new tech equipment when the one that I have becomes really obsolete.
And software, mostly old ; the new one that I'm using is all open source, or freeware or some sort of free.

As i promised, here's my new toy:

MTX RT-X03A 4-way elecronic active crossover
high channel: stereo line-level output with 30Hz-8kHz hi-pass filter
midrange channel: stereo line-level output with 30Hz-8kHz hi-pass and 800Hz-20kHz low-pass filter
center channel: mono line-level output with 100Hz-16kHz hi-pass filter and 800Hz-20kHz low-pass filter with option for individual input
sub channel: selectable stereo or mono line-level output with 30Hz-8kHz low-pass filter and 0-12dB booster at 45Hz

That'll help in getting the best out of that audio equipment.

You don't deserve my sig.
