Like I said, I think your thinking has gotten OLD (or maybe you are just snobbish about this subject), and you have lost some of the fun that is in this game.  I'm 33, and I think walking around with a big weapon in each hand is neat looking, for roleplaying purposes.  Just like I think playing a race other than Human has a neat-looking factor to it.  Big two-weapon-fighting was just as neat looking in Men In Black II recently as it was in the olden days of fantasy fiction.</blockquote>
