Swordfighting -- A Game That Needs To Be Seen To Be Believed

We all know what sword fighting is and we all probably know that it also has a double meaning. The 'interesting' duo of Kurt Bieg and Ramsey Nasser thought to take the uncivilised meaning of sword fighting and turn it into slightly more civilized game called 'Swordfight'.

The men with cameras made this the pic I had to use.

Players take a modified Atari joystick and strap it on like a ... well ... a strap-on and try to press the button on the opponents controller with their joystick. If you can't trust the participants handcuffing their hands behind their back is an option -- and kinky.

If you think you can take the hot 'Swordfight' action there is a video demonstration -->HERE<--.

To find out how to make your own 'Swordfight' gear check out their Tumblr.
