Welcome to Imat Talk, a forum for my musings (I'd give you something for recognizing the reference, but I'm not sure either of us cares enough for that...). Today, the 2-handed sword.

Why?

Join me next time for more musings...

But in all seriousness, what is the advantage of a 2-handed sword in a duel? The normal advantage is the ability to strike harder and wield greater weapons. But those together = a much slower attack. When it comes to a matter of life and death, I'm not sure I'd want to be the one wielding an incredibly cumbersome object while the other guy stabs me repeatedly with dual-swords. Even with the defensive debuff inherent to a flurry of strikes, you're not gonna do all that much whilst dead. I just see no purpose in using a 2-handed weapon if you've got the skill to dual-wield or the strength to use 2 hands on a main-hand weapon alone. No advantage whatsoever. Then again, contrary to what my physical form suggests I do prefer quick blows to the heavy-handed slow attacks...

Top Game

My first Top Game. These will come in no particular order because we all have different opinions and if I try to rank them I know for a fact that some crazed fan of a game at the bottom will attack me in my sleep.

Imat's Top Games: Warcraft 2

Whats not to like about it? Clunky characters, meandered movements, stupid songs, it had everything you could ask for in a game such as this. Successor to the pitiful Warcraft 1 and predecessor to Warcraft 3, Warcraft 2 was the ultimate in RTS gaming at the time of its release (Please no C&C Comments). Despite its aforementioned drawbacks, it was an amazing game. It has balance, different races (Almost Unique...), and one of the best multiplayer setup of its time. Days spent playing this game just made you better off. From the amazing dialogue to the just plain fun gameplay, this stands as one of my Top Games because it deserves it more than most other games. And, even though the teams were exact duplicates of eacho ther, it turned out well because the teams were balanced. However, Warcraft 2 really paved the way for an even greater RTS, one which shall be spoken of at a later date. For now, this has been Imat's Top Games List.

Hey, its Imat! Over the years (And it has been quite a few years) of gaming, I've managed to rack up quite the experience in a wide range of games. If I ever remember this, I'll try and post an Imat's Top Games List. The games will range from the most enjoyable to the ones that just make you feel far superior for playing them. The number of games shall be decided at a later date.
