What is it about battle that so excites the spirit? The anticipation one feels before the onslaught when one’s senses are at their finest? Or the beautiful chorus of swords clashing and enemies pleading for mercy? Or perhaps it’s the brilliant colors of the battlefield as the blood of the vanquished seeps into the grass and volcanic rock…

Then again, maybe it’s just the free stuff one gets after victory. Claiming someone else’s stuff as your own is hard to beat.

On a completely unrelated front, a friend of mine sent me this awesome clip of a death metal rooster today. Thanks Niles. Enjoy.
