So who else….

…. accidentally bought a sword at UK Games Expo this weekend? A story in 4 images...

The stand was Sword Kings. I also saw all the Lord of the Rings swords, and a bunch of swords which are apparently from video games. I was working on our stand a row down, and spent all day Saturday saying I didn't need a sword while humming the Thundercats theme--until my co-workers just told me to go buy the damn sword and get it over with. And so now I own a sword.

I worry that this might form the start of an expensive hobby.

I was very tempted by the Wonder Woman God Killer sword.

In the end, I bought some other cool stuff I was looking at instead. There were so many cool things at this show!

You're just going to have to stick to killing gods the old fashioned way, by aggressively not believing in them.

Can you hit someone with it twice and have it not break?

Are you asking me to find out?

I would have spent way too much money on skulls.

Arguably I did....

But all natural skulls are better for the environment

Could be useful if the Scots come south or the rereconquesta when the colonials return to loot the joint.

Placed in front of the wedding photo. You have your priorities correct.

I mean tbh, 90 quid is actually quite reasonable for a godkiller sword.

Also wondering if Morrus and others exercised their "persuade" skills to haggle with the shopkee... erm, booth staff?

Nah, not really. It's a cool looking wall hanger sword. Just pointing out that it may be more useful than first thought.
