Haha, thanks! I wanted a newbie to be able to get all they needed to go through the entire process--but at the same time, I wanted those time skips available for people who are more familiar with UltraSabers. I'm glad that worked for you, giving people a way to choose their approach.  How thoughtful of you. -1 |

Awesome video! You actually gave the final push my girlfriend to cosplay Kylo Ren. So again, great video and thank you!

Thanks, guys!
And BatMike, glad to hear that! She should go for it! Now me--because I am admittedly small up top, one has to be observant (before I start talking!!!) to notice I'm not a guy when I'm masked, but I have seen it done well by other women with more average proportions, too.
I gave you a DS point since it looks like people are getting your Force alignment wrong.

Kylo isn't so sinister without his voice mod The voice changer in the Black Series helmet is not only a POS (hence my getting rid of it), but I knew even if I tried to fix it, it was going to be fighting a losing battle against my voice.  I admit though, I do like the idea of catching some people off guard who might not be observant enough to figure out there's a woman under the mask.  |

Of course I'm bloody well going to see it !!!! Very well done, everyone else has pretty much already covered everything I liked in it, the sword, the other sword, the lack of ceiling fan damage. Oh, and the review bits were good too. Told you you had room to give it a few good swings If you do ever throw the saber, accidentally or intentionally, you'll find that it's not the saber that breaks, but everything in its path, what it hits, what it lands on, and probably everything within about 5 feet of its path. Oh, and you sound almost exactly like I expected. A bit less of an accent than I thought you'd have. |

You only live once. Wrong.
You only die once. You live every moment of your life.
The question is, are you alive, and living your life? Or just here, and watching your life go by?
------------------------------------------------------------------
I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to death
Nor known to life
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet those hands will never hold anything
So, as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works.

Ain't that the truth, probably send these things through hell and back with nothing but a scratch. Very good review, even tho I have a V2 it still hits alot of the same points. Really glad you brought up the main emitter blade retention screws and how stubborn loosening the actual emitter can be. The retention screws on the main emitter really makes it obnoxious to get the blade perfectly mesh to LED module to prevent rattling, biggest reason why i want another set of Flamberge emitters just for blade plugs and a UEHG swap without ever having to mess with the retention screws ever again. |

Even better if you don't speak until after you've defeated them in battle |

Interesting, that had never occurred to me. But once I got my main blade in, I decided it was never coming out unless it was an emergency. Even better if you don't speak until after you've defeated them in battle
Hah...unfortunately I believe the con I am attending won't be tolerant of dueling. Oh well!! Of course I'm bloody well going to see it !!!!

Haha, wow. And yeah, I liked your advice--especially the aggressive look it gave me. Thanks! Oh, and you sound almost exactly like I expected. A bit less of an accent than I thought you'd have. Must be a matter of perspective...it probably depends on where you live how much of an accent you think I have. |

If no one has mentioned it yet, I saw a video a few days back of someone who did a video on DIY unstable blades. He took a soldering gun over the blades a lot of times to get the look of it.

I have seen. I have a spare blade in case I ever get adventurous, but I'm afraid I haven't hit the right skill levels for that technique. I've heard of someone getting clever with Saran wrap though, so who knows--someday I may give that a shot. |

I've heard of someone getting clever with Saran wrap though, so who knows--someday I may give that a shot. I did it with a wood burning pen and got a pretty similar effect. It doesn't take much skill, just an hour+ of your time. I think it might be better for dueling, too because the blades would slide down less when they make contact. And also, no more scuff marks |
