Ever since learning Jugger is being played I've been searching for more. I found this cool video. Enjoy.
Again, Jugger was spawned by the post-apocalyptic movie The Blood of Heroes.

Khopesh
Along with all my other obsessions I blog about, I may have forgotten to mention swords. I love them, always have. In school I wrote several research papers on swords. Yes, I was a strange child.
Well, I discovered a new sword. The Khopesh! It's Canaanite and it's magnificent. I can't believe with all the archeology and ancient history courses I took I never heard of this sword.
It features a curved blade for slashing, but it is still in line for thrusting. Beautiful. Deadly. Simply, an elegant weapon.

No spaceships?
io9 is reporting that this year there will no TV shows with people on spaceships. This made me more upset than the recent economic news.
Why is everyone afraid of spaceships?

Jugger
How did I miss this? ( I seem to be saying that a lot.)
One of my favorite post-apocalyptic movies is Salute of the Jugger or as it's called in the States, The Blood of Heroes. In it a strange post-apocalyptic game is played. Now, people are playing the game in real life. Actually, they've been playing it for awhile mostly in Germany and Australia.
I love this. I want to play!

Massive David Warner Interview
I love David Warner. Startrek.com did a huge interview with him. Here's a bit:
Someone said "Would you like to meet William Shatner." I said, "I'd be delighted." I went into an office and there he was. As far as I know they wanted me for it, instead of having me audition and screen test. The part itself was not all that huge. Actually, it was bigger than it turned out in the film, because they'd cut quite a bit out of it. So I was actually just standing around on the Enterprise bridge for the most of it. So that's it, I was just offered the part. I'd just arrived and was living in Los Angeles, and I've been offered a job in Star Trek. "Thank you."Read more.
