Especially throwing people IN boats!
Most of this is just me trying to convince my room mate to start up playing HnH, and his constant reprise is "I'll do it when I can murder a bear with my boat. I mean seriously, think about how heavy those things are. And what the hell are those chests made out of? Wood, and metal, and rope? Those fuckers are heavy. I could easily beat you to death with one of those things, but you've got TWO in that Boat! Two chest and a boat can take down a bear."
He seems to think that the laws of physics and reason have a place on the hearthlands... How sorely mistaken he is.
