    Bushido Blade for the original PlayStation was a one-on-one game with pretty realistic weapon fights. One hit from a sword in a vital area and you were dead. Hits to the legs or ar…

    I'm hardly a researcher, but I've written my share of dense academic papers as a student. I remember not trusting my own ideas if they didn't seem written in a 'smart' enough way. …
