I don't really know if this is "where it goes" for the link/video, but...

...here is one of the latest sabers--a sort of collaboration between myself and Don Close. Don made an AWESOME hilt, and wired up some SWEET electronics with some ADMANTIUM style strength on the connections... I don't think ANY of them are ever breaking, lol...

I also have some close-up photos of the hilt, along with some modifications I made... but I don't really know where to post those, and they're pretty big. Plus, it's a max of 5 photo attachments. Maybe I'll need to include them as links to a upload site or whatever.

Either case... the video and photos don't do it justice, though. ENJOY!

WHOA! that is massively AWESOME!

Uhhh...on the last sound font...was that a tie fighter sound? lol

Very cool saber and the new fonts are amazing as well as the white clash/lockup effects...you and Darth Technous/Do Clo should be very proud of this achievement.

Flash-on-clash = uber awesomeness.

Yup, there are two fonts upcoming that sort of "warrant" the possibility of Tie Fighters blasting at you...

One of the fonts is going to be pretty obvious (TFU, duh), but this other one that is demonstrated in the video is all about the fact that you're outside in the rain.

I originally got the idea while working on the CD for hours and hours and hours... suddenly thinking back to JK Outcast and saying: "Wait a second... I seem to remember some ambient effects during that wacky swamp level where raindrops were sizzling on the saber..."

Thus now we have "Rain Sizzle".

Beautify hilt!
Awesome light and clash effect!
Great sounds!
Impressive moves!

... and the cat did not seem to be bothered, even the slightest.

I really like the "Rain Sizzle" Font

Awesome saber, the Clashflash is a cool improvement for a saber, I should add this feature to my sabers..

Absolute uber geeky coolness!

I love how your cat was in the background kinda like, "meh... whatever...I'm gonna get something to eat"

Awesome blade you got there Nova!

So... stock optics with a X-Wing style Tri-Rebel? Does it look as good in real life?

So yeah my computer offically hates videos, So I hit the paus button to see if with it loading will help out and I hit it when there seemed to be a white clash flash.

Looks good.

One of these days, I really need to get a Crystal Focus board working. Well, more to the point, I need to catch one. At this point, I estimate that'll be around the point of... CF version 15.
