For all you weapon geeks....
I just downloaded the new stuff for DW7; new outfits, stages, music and weapons! Awesome selection at a reasonable price. Anyways....
One of the new weapons was the "dagger axe". "Dagger axe?" thought I; "WTF is that?" It sounded like something stupid that was made up by an eight year old for their D&D character. Like MH's "switch axe". Turns out, however, that it is a real weapon; the Chinese precursor to the halberd. A lot of them were made as ceremonial weapons, out of Jade, no less! Check it out:

Armed with this new knowledge, I will certainly be trying it out soon. Once I've finished throwing bombs around the ancient battlefields. Explosives and a history lesson. Thanks XBL! :D
