Sword fanboys are nowhere near as bad as armor nerds. I once had one at my D&D table yammering on about how his falchion was so fancy, and afterwards I never invited him back.
Jesus christ, the subject of falchions still enrages me to this day.
WE'VE BEEN HAD. It also turns out that ugly girls aren't just hot girls wearing cheap glasses, beer doesn't make you the life of the party, and zooming in on a photo doesn't add detail to it.
They make that sound in movies for the same reason every punch makes a whoosh sound, pistols sound like high powered rifles when they fire, and people falling off something high make a whilhelm scream. Because it rocks.
Can you imagine having to go to a movie with this dude, talking about how inaccurate it is the whole time?
He's also ragging on Katana Plonkers, and from the sound of it, people who don't own Katana's yet go bat shit crazy over them or assume they just haven't "mastered" the art of the sword to make said noise.
I have no clue what a katana plonker is, but I'm pretty sure this guy wants them to emulate the phallus simile and shove them where the sun don't shine.
My dad had an infantry officer's sword with a metal scabbard lined with leather.
When you drew it it made a metal scraping noise as unless you were perfectly straight pulling it out, the flat of the blade would touch the metal rim of the scabbard.
