Do you really like swords?

@i_like_swords: Jango or Boba?

Maul or Dooku?

R2 or 3P0?

@i_like_swords: What is your favorite...

Word?

Day?

Color?

Food?

Book?

Cartoon?

Anime?

Yeah.

Jango.

Maul.

R2.

@i_like_swords: Favorite CaV you've ever done?

@jokerpoker: Oh.. wow. Not sure. I guess it'd have to be vs Shooting Nova (me as Maul/Savage vs Anakin/ObiWan) even though I lose, because apparently I did pretty well for my first Star Wars CaV.

Why Jango over Boba?

@i_like_swords: Alright, and my final questions: If you could meet anyone from the Star Wars Universe, who would you meet? Favorite New 52 series?

He was the original. If not for him, there would be no Clone Army, no Boba. He was Mandalore when he was like 20. He taught Boba everything he knew and was the original best bounty hunter in the galaxy. He's a complete badass and I just sort of prefer his personality.

Proooobably someone like Grandmaster Luke Skywalker who I could learn a lot from. I'd say Darth Maul but he'd get bored of my fanboying and kill me. Or possibly someone like Teff'ith or Leia providing I could bang them.

I read the first issue of New 52 Justice League and nothing else, so that. Not a DC guy.

Who are the top 5 Star Wars experts on the Vine past and present?

Why do you pretend to like swords when you've never actually played Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance?

What are your favorite swords in fiction?

God damn. Alright. But I'm not doing it in order.

• Silver
• You
• Nova
• Jedixman
• Dondave (anyone who can get 170,000+ wiki points between two Star Wars characters can be considered an expert)

Swords come in many shapes and sizes. Plus.. I've always been an xbox guy so never played Metal Gear *shrugs*

• Darth Maul's Saberstaff
• The Darksaber
• Katanas
• Claymores

why do you like swords?!?!

@swordmasterd: Because they are what men used to solve conflicts, small and large scale, for thousands upon thousands of years.

Now we just shoot each other. It really doesn't compare.

This guy is hilarious.

@i_like_swords: Favorite type of sword?

I'm in you.

Katana. I hope to non-lethally incapacitate many burglars using such a weapon.

Razza Frazza

EDIT: Pause.

I'm around you

Grrrrrr >:( lol

@i_like_swords: I'm interested. Why do you hate anime with a passion?

@scorpion2501: It's pretty much just Japanese style anime/manga. Yeno, DBZ, the one with Kenshiro in it, One Piece.. those types of manga/anime.. I hate the writing, a lot of it seems very, very basic and uninteresting. It seems completely centred around fighting with no care for story. Some of them have an absurdly unnecessary and uncreative amount of swearing. I hate the art, the faces, the fight scenes and how they're drawn, the majority of character outfits.. I just find it all weird, hard to interpret and creepy in some cases. Anime and Manga characters also sometimes have absurdly stupid power sets. Everything has a long, unpronouncable name. And to top it all off - there have been f*cking terrible anime's of some of my favorite characters/franchises, namely Punisher and Star Wars. They're both just completely terrible.

That's just my views, and people can like it if they want, but I just cannot stand that whole medium of fiction and I probably never will be able to.

You hate anime?

Do ya liek dem therr vidja gaemz? Translation: Do you enjoy the particular form of entertainment known simply as "video games?"

@jaken7: Yah.. my only problem with video games is I tend to burn through story modes in four hours. If the game doesn't have a long-lasting multiplayer I can hit up every day (GTA, CoD, Swtor.. ect) or a single player that has huge replay value (Fallout, Skyrim, Age of Mythology, Civilization), then it'd be a waste of money for me.

Give me something like The Last of Us, Far Cry, Metal Gear Solid or any game centered around the story mode, and I will finish it in like 4 hours, 6 tops, and then think "huh.. what do I do now with this £40 game"

So I don't play too many games nowadays.

@i_like_swords: Well... you're right. If we're talking about Shonen shows. Or harem and stuff like that. But in all honesty, did you ever try out something realistic?

Watching dubbed, for instance helps a lot. I also got headaches from listening to high pitched Japanese voices.

Maybe the show just for you is Monster. No big eyes, spikey hair, huge breasts. All normal human anatomy.

There aren't any superpowers. There isn't any fanservice. Just a normal psychological thriller/drama.

Maybe you will give it a chance, maybe you won't. I am just trying to break these stereotypes.

There's no way you finished Last of Us in 4 hours. Lol.

But, I see what you're saying. Replay value is key sometimes.

@scorpion2501: Maybe I am stereotyping to be fair. I appreciate you trying to sway me away from that line of thinking.. alright. I'll try Monster. Based on your description it sounds like it could be alright.

@jaken7: Ah, I never bought it. I just sorta meant - if I had bought that game, I'd have it done far too quickly and would have nothing to do :p

It's pretty lengthy, you shouldn't assume things. ;p

Favorite game of all time?

How mad are you about the cancelled Maul game?

@i_like_swords: Hope you enjoy it. And if you don't, that's fine.

It isn't action orientated at all though, so you might be bored. Some people get bored fast, others don't. I myself could appreciate the slow pacing.

Anyway, I hope I broke some stereoypes, and gave you something enjoyable to watch.

Yeah, you shouldn't be doing anything other than asking questions. Step back in line.

Red Dead Redemption

I could have burned lava with the heat of the steam coming out of my ears.

*is put in place*

Ah, nice choice.

I don't doubt it. It looked so cool too (although the sh*t with George Lucas wanting Maul and Talon to meet up was incredibly dumb. They're only...oh say about 200 years apart).

Amazing story. Great multiplayer. DLC added a lot of new playability. Fantastic premise for a game. Nothing else you can ask for.

It would of been nice to fill in some of the gaps in Maul's story but.. ah well.

Yeah, that was dumb lol.

Do you lose your temper easily?

Yes and no. Depends on the situation.

Favorite Geist? (When they were around)

@The_Deathstroker: Jokergeist

@i_like_swords: When did you first get into Star Wars - what's your favorite thing about it?

Well.. I got into the movies when I was really young. Maybe like seven or something. I've always liked them. I grew up around the prequels.

I got into the EU properly maybe a little over a month ago. Well I mean, before that I had bought quite a few Boba Fett comics but that was it. Now my EU reading has become far more broad.

Favorite thing - Darth Maul. I'm in it for the characters mostly, rather than the story or much else. I wouldn't normally buy a general comic series like Republic opposed to something like a Darth Maul comic. I just like following characters instead of reading Star Wars in general like some people.

Who do you think Darth Maul can lose to in a fight?

@reaperonyx: As his dueling feats stand right now.

Count Dooku, ROTJ Vader and Luke, all the top tier guys like Yoda, Plagueis, Sidious.. probably Tenebrous. Probably Darth Caedus although I know next to nothing about post-ROTJ era.

@reaperonyx: Having said that, there aren't many in the Star Wars universe who can beat him. In terms of dueling he is definitely in the overall top 10 and as of TCW his Force power has increased to very respectable levels.

can you help me with this math problem. 5/0

@hylian: 0
