I am fully aware that by posting this, I am essentially opening up any positive review of Darksiders (released this week) to accusations of pay-offs and bias. However, I don't really care, because I just received a GIANT MASSIVE DARKSIDERS SWORD! Yes, after receiving the biggest box in the world, I opened it up to find not only my review copy of the game, but this ridiculous beast.
The sword (known to Darksiders players as the Chaos Eater) is so ludicrous that I literally burst out laughing when I took it out of the box. Even though it's not metal, obviously, the thing is still insanely heavy and I had trouble keeping it held with one arm for too long, even though I am quite mighty.
I've heard tell that a Destructoid reader may be able to win one of these bastards if they're very lucky, but they're going to have to tune back in to Destructoid later this afternoon to find out how. If you want your own mental sword to scare the neighbors with, keep reading Dtoid. We've got the hookup!

"I will tear you a second cunt with my thorny cock[sword]!"
It's on a 1:1 scale with it.
I'd say you are also opening up a channel for some criticism on why you were so offended about what Cameron said about the smoking character in Avatar.
actually, I think you'll find that the baggy t-shirt Jim is wearing hides a frame built of purest muscle - how else would he be able to lift a sword of such DMC-sized ridiculousness?
Why can't he be fat AND strong? It's possible you know. Don't be so ignorant.
Ohhh... I saw what you did there, you clever little kitten you.
Hilarious!
Have you been working out?
I want that SO BAD YOU DONT EVEN KNOW.
Roy "Big Country" Nelson is a good example. He won fights I thought he had no chance. Like all of them. If Jim got you in a crucifix hold, it's all over.

Yeah, I'll get a grip...
A GRIP OF THAT SWORD!!!
These questions are important.
And your point in saying this is?
you look like a pedophile.
