Stepping out from behind the veil of online anonimity

Yes, Yes. I'm late to the party, but I brought beer!

This is me shortly before losing my first "Flashlightsaber Duel".

The way flashlightsaber dueling works is you are supposed to shine your flashlight onto the face or chest of your opponent without it crossing their flashlight beam (if it crosses it's a block). First to three wins. Of course, since the weapons are more or less intangible and you can't see yourself, it takes a witness or two (judges) to observe and judge when someone got hit. I lost 2-1. I demand new judges next time.

It's a shame when you lose the first ever bout at a game you invented. (to the best of my knowledge)

Anyway..to highten the "geekiness" of it all, you are supposed to emulate the lightsaber sound vocally as best you can, and be as flashy, or "jedi" as you can be in your movement and attacks during the duel. At a minimum you are supposed to be as nimble and animated as Darth and Obi-Wan were in episode 4 (lol) It is also encouraged, but not mandatory to have a good theatric fall when you take a hit.

Flashlightsaber Dueling.....try it. It's fun.

So, there you have it. The rules to "Flashlightsaber Dueling" and a first glimpse of Mr. 8-bit/16-bit...albiet in a wig, and a big mit, and a batman cape wore "bull-fighter" style.....did I mention the wig?
