The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures - GameCube Review The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, in addition to having a mouthful of a title, most definitely falls into the third category, sitting right next to Mario vs. Donkey Kong and DK: King of Swing. Four Swords Adventures is comprised of two gameplay modes: The Hyrulean Adventure mode, and Shadow Battle. Shadow Battle is a simple out-and-out death match for two to four players, in which players battle it out in a variety of arenas (both side scrolling and top-down) using the weapons and tools from the game. www.netjak.com /review.php/639   (954 words)

Hip Hop Cartel > Best Wu solo album? I'd put Liquid Swords into the Extraordinary category but for some reason I've never been able to get into No Said Date.

myArmoury.com: Katzbalger Some swords are more specialized than most; the Zweihander, the Estoc, the Dusack and even swords like the Rapier could be lumped into this category.

War Merit Cross All grades (except for the War Merit Medal) were compromised of an eight-pointed Maltese cross, with a pair of military style swords fitted between the arms of the cross distinguishing the combatant category from the non-combatant category which had no swords but was otherwise identical. The War Merit Cross did not exist prior to 1939, it was created and newly instituted prior to the war and formed part of the awards structure of the Third Reich. Military personnel who qualified for the War Merit Cross in an administrative, medical, or other service away from the front line received this award, as did civilians whose contributions were of significant importance to the war effort. www.angelfire.com /nj/ww2/warmeritcross.html   (618 words)

POST IMPRESSIONS ONLINE: On Stage The Guinness Book of Records retired the category of sword swallowing in 1970 after an American circus performer choked to death in his attempt to swallow 13 swords. In front of a crowd, cringing behind their hands, a breakfast-free Mathew lubricated each sword with jelly, swallowed a mouthful of the lubricant, gathered the swords in his hands and, throwing his head back, shoved four-and-a-half kilos of solid stainless steel into his stomach. Launching the Fremantle Buskers Festival on Thursday "Saint Mathew", the patron saint of vaudeville, broke the world record for sword swallowing by thrusting 14 custom-made 60cm-long swords down his throat. www.postnewspapers.com.au /20000408/impressions/on_stage.shtml   (1192 words)

HISTORICAL CLASSIFICATION OF WAKIZASHI AND THE TAXONOMY OF NIHON In short, the fact that the term "wakizashi" came to refer to a category of swords that are shorter than the "main sword" was *only consequential* because the "main sword" of the samurai had almost always been a long sword (i.e., tachi or uchigatana) and "a side/peripheral sword" had naturally been a "shorter sword." However, until many years after the end of the Japanese Civil War (circa 1600) those old laws regulating the bearers of swords were not always followed by the people in Japan. In short, depending on the shape, length and purposes of the blades, both the "legal" (strictly based on the blade length) and "academic" (based both on the blade length and functions/purposes) classifications of Nihon-to are in use concurrently in modern Japan. www2.una.edu /Takeuchi/DrT_Jpn_Culture_files/Nihon_to_files/Historical_classification_of_wak.htm   (1495 words)

Sword dance - free-definition Sword dances include solo dancers around swords – such as the traditional Scottish sword dances, mock battle dances, and hilt-and-point sword dances – where the dancers are linked together by their swords in a chain. Although sometimes treated as a form of Morris dance, sword dancers are proud of their own tradition and often wish to be treated as a traditional dance category in its own right. Hilt-and-point sword dances traditional to England include rapper sword and Long Sword, although both of these are now also performed by revival teams outside their traditional areas, including teams in most of the English-speaking world. www.free-definition.com /Sword-dance.html   (646 words)

Final Fantasy XI WarCry™ Vana'diel is once again gearing up for the Feast of Swords, a Far Eastern festival in which town residents celebrate their sons' healthy growth by raising banners decorated with enormous fish, and dressing the towns' male youth in armor for mock fights. Many citizens of Vana'diel still remember the chaos of the last Feast of Swords, when the priceless armor the Mog House Management Union (M.H.M.U.) borrowed from the Far East was stolen.

Shono Seiki's Aikido Lectures Because the definition of kenjutsu is the "most effective way to use swords", iai-jutsu certainly belongs to this category. People studied techniques of kenjutsu for their action after their swords were drawn in their hands. All great schools of kenjutsu had done a lot of studies in ba-ai; but to iai-jutsu, ba-ai is far more important. www.freewebs.com /aikido/lecture/unit8.htm   (1998 words)

News Archive For March 2000 Additionally, the game is free from the traditional classes of characters, so players can choose to have all members of their party freely switch from using swords for classic hack-and-slash to magic weapons that can power blast orcs and zombies. GPG is working on a way of balancing play issues now, though they say it will not be possible to max out in every single category, giving the game replayability. This seems like a tall order, but when the game is being developed by the talented team at Gas Powered Games under the leadership of award-winning Designer Chris Taylor, we& very eager to watch it through to completion and beyond. dsvault.ign.com /archive/arc2-2000.shtml   (1998 words)

Forced suicide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In some cases Japanese seppuku could fall into this category, since failing to commit seppuku can in some situations lead to great dishonor for a samurai and his family. As a mark of respect it was generally reserved for aristocrats sentenced to death - the victims would either drink hemlock or fall on their swords. Forced suicide is a method of execution where the victim is given the choice of commiting suicide, or facing an alternative they perceive as worse - like suffering torture, or having friends or family members killed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Forced_suicide   (262 words)

Medieval Weaponry Blunt and sharp-headed lances were used in "jousts of peace" (tournaments) and "jousts of war." And, swords, axes, maces, and hammers with spikes never disappeared from the medieval weapons inventory. Consequently, while the castle played a key role in the deaths of many people during the Middle Ages, it falls into a category of its own and will not be included in this discussion of medieval weaponry. While the castle was, arguably, the most formidable weapon of medieval warfare, generally when we think of weapons we think of something much smaller, movable, and able to wreak havoc and death on an opponent. www.castles-of-britain.com /castle36.htm   (262 words)
