The Gaming Lizard

This friday, I finally turned the big 2-0. It's a strange feeling, being 20. It's a period of time where you're neither a kid where you can watch Spongebob unmocked nor an adult enough for the feisty R21 films.

Unsurprisingly, the army has ruined the day (surprise! NOT) by having a two day exercise that started on Thursday. Suffice to say, I woke up with Mother Nature's birthday present of numerous mosquitoes bites and slightly swelled hands courtesy of sandflies.

However, one extremely good news made the day better: Amazon.com has stock up on Cataclysm Collector's Edition again! Better get it now or it'll be out of stock again.

And yes, I bought myself a Frostmourne Replica. The moment they announced that they'll no longer be manufacturing the sword a few months back, I decided that this is the biggest gift I can give to myself for reaching a milestone.

It is with extremely good luck that the local distributor has only 2 left (and they'll not be taking any more orders for it!), not to mention someone else has asked about it the same day I bought it (tough luck, random stranger who is obviously a fan)

My parents were clearly surprised.....ok, shocked when I finally opened the container (I wrapped up the entire box with newspaper since i bought it a few months early) Wait till I tell them the hefty price tag (SGD900, that was with a 30% discount too since the shop has lost a device that lets you authenticate the replica as the real deal)


The replica is extremely well made, with fine details marking the craftsmanship of Epic Weapons. Stainless steel ensures that no rust ever taint the blade and makes for easy maintainability.

Frostmourne is extremely heavy at 7.6 kg and 1.2 meters long. Hopefully it will stay intact once I nailed in the plaque.
