I don't know if many people know this, but fire bending is all about the manipulation of one's inner energy. Fire bending, unlike the other elements, does not rely on manipulating any substance or outwardly present materials. Fire itself is just the release of energy from a fuel source, and fire...

I usually lead with either rock or scissors, depending on what kind of person I think they are. Aggressive people who want to win quickly will go for scissors, people who are unsure or defensive will choose rock. (At least that's what I've observed, lol)

OP, I don't know if it's been made clear yet, but that would pretty much amount to heresy >< (also, SHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Don't say things like: "TES:MMO" or "Multiplayer" Bethesda might be listening, and the industry doesn't need anymore bad ideas right now, so don't go giving them any! lol)

Came here for Doraleous and Associates, and stayed for Extra Cedits. (I remember watching "the myth of the gun" out of curiosity and going "Good lord...these people are BRILLIANT!" and promptly started following them) Over time I've grown to enjoy most of the content here. Anything done by the...

Game: MMO me: "well, so much for that game. Hope they don't ruin the next sequel in my other favorite series..."

this :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykwqXuMPsoc Cause they are so AWESOME

Ok, now these are some quite valid points! To begin, I never said that the design required a field that could "cap off" I actually stated that that IS impossible (that's why the plasma idea doesn't work, and why lightsabers CAN'T be made with plasma) and as for the rest, well yeah, the idea of...

You're right, "pure energy" is really easy to say (rather than explaining anything specific, kind of a cop-out, I know xD) Simply using the term "energy" leaves it open to interpretation what kind of energy is to be utilized (and thus avoids unneccessary nit-picking) I generally think of the...

Read my post on pg 1 (if you haven't already) It roughly explains everything you just mentioned :)

Thank you :) And as a small note, the lightsaber would not need an infinite power source, as the right balance of blade and/or field intesity would (again theoretically) greatly reduce the amount of energy lost while the loop is active, but not cutting. So, granted it would have to be powerful...

again...not made of lasers. and yes they could exist (health hazards aside) risk of burns to the user is the biggest practial kink.

I saw that a while ago. they completely missed the point of "energy-sword" >:/ and instead focused ENTIRELY on why Lasers and Plasma don't work. It was still very interesting though! I recomend anyone to watch it :) EDIT: the portion about plasma-windows especially, was very intriguing...

close, but they can't really be made of plasma because there's no way to produce a field with a "cap" on the end :/ plus the energy required to produce a constant supply of plasma for the blade length is just...well beyond astronomical! (acording to current scientific/technological...

because lightsaber-blades AREN'T made of lasers!!! Laser fire-arms however, are definitly the wave of the future though, I think. They could be very practical (not to mention multi-functional. and let's face it...nobody's going to make/wear glass armour to stop lasers xD)

The lightsaber is ENTIRELY POSSIBLE. It's just highly IMPROBABLE that someone will develop the technologies required for them. But just think of the advances in power-cell technology that would come from us trying to get there! I think chasing the lightsaber is a good goal for science (forget...
