Title: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You? Post by: Lord Sidious on May 23, 2016, 08:57:31 AM You know the type of day you just had, a long hard one for all sorts of reasons.
You come home and you see your sabers. You turn it on. You see the bright light in front of you and maybe with the sound too. It chills you a little. Puts a smile on your face. You say, it's all worth it because I have these awesome sabers. So, what you say? Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You?

BWAHAHAHA! No, serious. Lord Sidious, I agree. Looking at my sabers always makes me feel giddy. "I got sabers!" "YEE!" Thanks for this thread. -1 :) Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You? Post by: Darth Abaddon on May 23, 2016, 09:51:02 AM Honestly, I bought them. I used them a handful of times. And they've sat in my basement collecting dust for the last two years.
Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You? Post by: scifidude79 on May 23, 2016, 02:06:29 PM Dang, maybe I should have tried this last night. It was a long, grueling day at work. Though, I did spend a half an hour or so on the website planning my purchase for next week (payday.) That was incredibly relaxing.
But, I'll definitely try that in the future. -1 for the idea. 8) Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You?

So, what you say? Totally agree. Always puts a smile on my face when I ignite the saber. I then proceed to switch them all on ;D But, what about the feeling of unboxing your newly delivered saber, especially if you've had a hard day at work, and switching that on for the first time?

You say, it's all worth it because I have these awesome sabers. So, what you say? For me it's more like: Get home Walk into my room See my Overlord Run my hand over the hilt As I ignite the blade and hear the deep throbbing A smile comes across my face ----------------- But yes I totally agree. It is oddly relaxing... Ultrasabers are the only toy that you play with and it never gets old Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You? Post by: Lord Sidious on May 23, 2016, 04:35:36 PM That's so cool reading similar thoughts from you all.
We are true fans of the lightsaber. It's wonderful we have them I think, really is. Unboxing a new one is sublime. There is nothing for that amount of money spent that can beat it. Kills anything else, period. Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You? Post by: Iram on May 23, 2016, 05:30:48 PM That's so cool reading similar thoughts from you all.

Kills anything else, period. I can't describe the feeling I got first unboxing mine. It was amazing, to say the least Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You?

Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You? Post by: Landen Se-Sentien on May 23, 2016, 09:17:33 PM Most physical activity relaxes me, especially combat type of activities.
I've been trying to convince my wife she needs one, and the other day she dulled with me and my boys, and she said, "It is a pretty good stress release," and we were just having fun. So, yes, just turning it on, spinning it, and hitting things with it all relax me. Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You?

Post by: Darth Justicar on May 23, 2016, 09:58:14 PM As the Dark creature I am, it should not surprise you that I occasionally use my saber as a way to vent my frustrations (and hopefully avoid yelling at somebody, or doing further damage if I already HAVE had an argument).
Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You? Post by: Vivectius on May 23, 2016, 11:45:04 PM Yes, hitting things with them helps. Occasionally I even turn them on. And sometimes I'll even hit stuff with the plastic end.
I just need someone around here to actually spar with on a regular basis. Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You? Post by: Rapine on May 23, 2016, 11:47:32 PM Yes, hitting things with them helps. Occasionally I even turn them on. And sometimes I'll even hit stuff with the plastic end. Just toss some random person a saber, and say "Defend yourself". I bet they do alright...lolI just need someone around here to actually spar with on a regular basis. Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You? Post by: Landen Se-Sentien on May 24, 2016, 01:09:01 AM Giving into most addictions does relax you. Just thought I'd point that out.
Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You? Post by: Hansrad on May 24, 2016, 02:35:06 AM They are a good way to relax. Focusing on spin practice is very distracting (except that darn obi ani thing that drives me insane). They're also very good for venting as my poor couch can sometime acknowledge. Should get a boxing dummy to vent on.

Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You? Post by: Lord Sidious on May 24, 2016, 07:57:32 AM Venting it out with the saber (sensibly) .... :o
I really don't see any negatives owning sabers. :D Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You?

That's right - Rochester area?You know though, I live just south of the border from you.... I have no passport ATM, or I'd happily come down...lol Although, you'd likely do just as well practising against a cut-out - I'm awful. I'd totally invite you up here, but MM and I are on the outs, and I'll likely be moving. :| Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You?

I know right? :PNo, it's true. This morning I've been packing up a few things to go visit mom/daughter for a bit, so obviously it's the perfect time to throw my back out. Right on. I likely won't be back in this area too much after that. Mom has WiFi though, so I should be able to log on to this here forum. Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You?

Sometimes couples need some time and space away from each other for a clearer perspective and appreciation. Whatever the outcome, we are here to support both of you. Warm hugs sent your way. :) Title: Re: Does Playing With Your Sabers Relax You? Post by: Rapine on May 24, 2016, 06:18:13 PM Thank you D7. That means a lot.

We're like that weird uncle at family reunions that no one's quite sure how they related to him, but he keeps the kids entertained with some a touch too real magic tricks. |
