Yer Olde Blade Shoppe - A steampunk weapon store (roleplay)

I wish I owned such a store for real... and had the necessary customer base too. :)
Here is something for the gearheads, weapon collectors and roleplayers. Obviously if you don't like Steampunk you should move on.
For those who don't know what Steampunk is: It's basically Science-Fiction based on the idea of the Victorian age advancing its technology and society in a different direction, mechanical rather than digital. Sometimes magic and mysticism may also be part of a Steampunk fantasy world.
The blades shown in this video are:
1.) An older Roman gladius by Raven Armoury (mid 1990s)
www.raven-armou...
2.) North Star Cutlass by Privateer Armoury
www.seekyee.com...
3.) Karambit by Traditional Filipino Weapons

4.) A knife from a company I don't want to promote
(sorry, I've come to despise their CEO too much)
5.) Bowie knife by Yukon Gear

"I wish I owned such a store for real... and had the necessary customer base too." I would be the first one there, trust me. Actually I really wish this was a real thing the more I think about it. My two weapons of choice would be a Spatha with a guard and pommel for close quarters melee capabilities and a Dirk for confined spaces and stealth. Also it's slender blade can fit fit into all the nooks and cranny's of the skull, on the type I'm thinking of anyways.

***** Hehe... yeah, that definitely wasn't a good idea. You're actually supposed to go up the side of the mountain and fight your way to the old church. However, there IS a reason to venture into New Londo (ghost territory) in the beginning: there is a way to get a quick Estus Flask upgrade that way. Granted, it's a suicide run, but you'd end up starting out with a +1 Estus Flask before getting into the game proper. There are several little tricks you can do to boost you up in the beginning... I really need to make a video about it.

[@CrudOMatic]

Let's be real though - I still can't get over people who call weapons "her", or name them after wives, girlfriends or models. The business of killing is NOT a business for lovers, unless you are Bonnie & Clyde, and you seen how that ended up. No, the business of killing is a BEASTLY business, so one's weapon should have a BEASTLY name. Like Rover, or Rex, or Smaug (yeah - I got you J.R.R. fans) Think about it this way; would you make LOVE to your weapon? No? Why? That's right - it's a vicious and cruel lover - if it is even capable of love. Even when it pretends to be a lover, it's still awkward, perilous, or at the very least, unpleasant. If you name a weapon, remember it's purpose.
