Nerf Triple Strike Autopsy

Unfortunately I can't do a full stock review on this blaster because of a curious little problem I found internally. Well, ok, to put it this way this thing sucks at firing the new standard 9" arrows as this thing normally fires the 11" variant. And it only fires two tanks instead of three. Why?

Forza Motorsport 5: Quality Over Quantity?

This KTM X-Bow is just stunning to look at.
Being a huge car fanatic, I can't help but love racing games, Forza being one of my go to games. Forza 5 is really the main reason I went with the Xbox One over the PS4 and so far... eheh... it's not quite what I was expecting. Reading some of the reviews they sliced the car list in half, remember the good 500 cars(Which still sounds meager to Gran Turismo 6's 1200 cars) Well you can kiss that goodbye because it's now down to 200 and the track list is tiny as well. To me, this sounds like a fool proof recipe for a DLC fest, about 300+ unfinished cars and some amount of tracks just itching to be released. Turn 10 said that each car and track took a tediously long time to craft and that basically sums it up, just not enough time. Luckily they are still cranking cars out and I HOPE to see that good ol' Sauber C9 sitting in my garage again. But I'm at least glad they took more time into refining the game mechanics, which makes a better game than as many cars as you can cram into it will ever be. In the mean time, I'll just enjoy gawking at every inch of the cars I can only dream of affording in Forzavista. What fun.

The Dominator: The Beginning of a vicious Triple Strike Mod

I remember first seeing the Nerf Triple Strike on Nerf Mods & Reviews and my first though was this ugly ass blaster with semi auto/shotgun capability with pretty large air tanks to go along with it. After the Hopper Clip became more popular I realized the devastating potential this blaster suddenly had. I realized you could mount 3 PETG Hoppers on this thing with six rounds each for a total of 18 shots each and you can fire three without pumping again. With the size of the tanks in mind, I estimate this thing can pull off 90+ or maybe 100+ feet on each barrel. As for some ergonomic changes since the blaster's original grip looks really uncomfortable, I'm mounting a Longshot front gun grip and a stock to make this then easier to use. Plus I'm reinforcing the flimsy pump with coat hangers and topping it off with some paint. I haven't even built this thing yet and it's already shaping up to being VERY badass, and it looks the part too.

More Nerf Mega Magnus Info

Hey we got some new info on the Magnus! How exciting... he lied... Awesomely Nerf got one and to say the least, it's underwhelming. It only shoots about 50 to 60 feet(Much like the Centurion) and that's only because of the darts this time. Why only? Because the Magnus is direct plunger but it fails to use it effectively and no, there aren't any holes from what I can see in the tube. Price in the US is $14.99 dollars and in the UK it should translate to about 9.37 quid but I could be off by a bit. I'd stick to a Firestrike.

Call of Duty Ghosts Review

There are those who wear masks...
Well after placing fourth in a Black Ops II tournament and waiting in line for a midnight release, I finally bagged my copy of the latest Call of Duty game. The excitement leading up to it was great but is it really the game we were expecting?

Command & Conquer Generals 2 Cancelled

I saw this coming a long time ago. After EA bastardized C&C once more by making the latest installation of the Generals universe free to play, I was almost certain that this game was going to go down the gutter faster than it could dig itself back up. The sad thing is though, it didn't look like that bad of game either, I did'nt play the alpha test for myself but it actually looked pretty good. But not being there first hand probably means that I didn't see the countless flaws that the critics pointed out. So EA shuttered development after negative feedback and "promised" they will crank out a fresh C&C game soon. What a fucking shame.
