Épée

I was under the impression that fencing, or “swordfighting for gentlemen,” was about prancing around back and forth and poking your opponent with a thin sword, and possibly leaping onto rocks or kicking over tables to confuse your opponent. You know, like Inigo Montoya does it? But from Ã‰pÃ©e I gather that you could be 100 pounds overweight and still have a chance, so long as you grunt convincingly in French.

This is one slow, ugly game, that takes about 30 seconds too long to load do to the “real-time 3d fencing interface taking advantage of all the latest bleeding-edge shader programming technologies.” Which basically means that I could make a sandwich in the time it takes my guy to lunge at his opponent. AW HELL NO!

Dear Mr Derek Yu.

I have been reading you’re posts (and the occasional other) Ever since I found out opera can automatically get feeds – and I found your website.

(I assume this is your website because nobody else really posts)

Anyway – To the point. What happened to reviewing ikki’s games! (Nikujin) I got stuck in that ninja game and had a look at some of them but I don’t know how to do half of them!

Thanks for giving me something to read that isn’t lots of blurb about some hotshot-indie-guy that i haven’t heard of. *cough* gamesetwatch *cough*.

From, Clockpie.

You forgot the most essential part of sword-fighting – the witty banter! A game that focuses on sword fighting ignores the clever exchange of insults at it’s own peril.

You mean, like this?

Clockpie, thanks for reminding me! I’ll get back to Ikiki soon enough. :)

I played this one a while ago. Kind of dull. I think I prefer the ladylike combat of slapping to the gentlemanly combat of fencing.
Bobo

Yes Derek, I’m sure there are many of us here that would love to see more Ikiki! :P
motus

Tom

I will always stand by the book. But then again, I’ve never seen the movie – so who am I to judge?

Well tbh the screenshot looks good… lol

The first fencing game i played as i remember was Sid’s Meier Pirates! when u board the ship and two captains ALWAYS get in range to fight and other sailors refrain from shooting them in the back.. lol

En garde!

http://bestspywares2.tripod.com

Here are a few things to keep in mind when looking for a spywares protection program.
http://spywaresoftwares-js.tripod.com

The best spywares removers should offer you complete protection against spywares, adware, keyloggers, Remote Access Trojans (RATs), and browser hijackers.
http://bestspywares3.tripod.com

These are the main spywares infections that expose your confidential information and diminish your PC’s performance.
http://spywaresoftwares.tripod.com

An important consideration for any spywares protection program is automatic updates for your software.
http://bestspywares4.tripod.com

There are new spywares programs invented on a regular basis just like viruses and automatic updates cover you against the latest spywares threats.
http://bestspywares9.tripod.com

Another important consideration to look for should be technical support from the manufacturer.
http://bestspywares5.tripod.com

A spywares protection program doesn’t do you any good if you have a technical issue that you can’t solve. Often, just a minor piece of technical advice will solve most software problems and it’s important that your software run right. http://bestspywares6.tripod.com

You also may need someone to answer questions that come up.
http://bestspywares8.tripod.com

Customer service is another feature you may consider looking for. It shows the manufacturer is a trusted source who cares about their reputation and will probably be around awhile.
http://bestspywares.tripod.com

Spywares is quickly becoming a major threat to Internet security.
http://bestspywares7.tripod.com

It is reported that 9 out of 10 computers are currently infected with spywares, adware or both.
http://antispywareprogrammes.tripod.com

Most people don’t even realize it’s there because spywares and adware is programmed to run silently. Microsoft estimates that spywares is responsible for 50% of all PC crashes.
http://best-spywares.tripod.com

If you don’t remove spywares from your computer it will eventually not work at all or your computer files will become infected by spywares programs.
http://antispywareprogrammes1.tripod.com

Your personal information, passwords and credit card numbers could end up stolen from you without you even knowing it.
http://bestspywares1.tripod.com

Once you remove spywares and adware programs from your computer you’ll find it will run faster and your personal information will be much safer.

Credit History Online

Credit history Online is typically local to one country. Even within the same credit card network information is not shared for different countries. For example, a person who has been using Visa credit cards issued by banks in China or Canada for many years who moves to the United States and immediately applies for a Visa will not be approved because of lack of credit history online. However, bringing in evidences of good credit history from the previous country of residence will greatly help. Examples of such evidences are utility bills or credit card statements for the past couple of years.
