Air Zone Punisher Review (7/10)

It costs $400,000 dollars to fire this weapon for twelve seconds.
This review is pretty late but whatever. I got a thing for giant, impractical, guns that do more to harm you just carrying them around than anything terribly worth noting on the battlefield. Pretty much nearly every heavy machine gun I've used minus the Rhino-Fire boasts huge ammo capacities, massive sizes and weights, and they don't shoot anything more impressive than your average rifle. The Punisher fits that bill very well, but it sure as hell knows how to look cool while doing so.

Taking a breather for a moment

Sorry for the lack of progress lately guys. Nothing all that important has been happening in the Nerf world lately and I've decided to go take a break from that. Until some new blasters hit the shelves or I find something interesting on eBay, I'm not going to be very active in that neck of the woods. On a more interesting note, a lot of new games are coming out soon like Forza 6, Black Ops III, and most importantly, Fallout 4, and I'll be covering some of that eventually. I also reserved a free copy of Windows 10 recently and after all the hate I gave Windows 8, I can only hope for the better now that the OS is now more or less a fusion of all the good bits from 7 and 8 respectively, or that's what I hope. Since it's free, I got nothing to lose and I'll get a review up after I play around with a it for a day or two. I'll be active on Reddit and NM&R every now and then, but other than that, see you guys on the other side.

Max Force Terrornator 85 Review (7/10)

Graduate from foam? Um...
Well I never did think I'd end up buying one of these but they are becoming quite scarce due to the fact Jakks Pacific's Max Force line was sadly a flop, and promptly discontinued last year. Luckily I managed to snag this beast on eBay for $30 bucks brand new, and I'm quite impressed... all the way up until I had to clean up the trail of carnage this thing leaves behind.

Nerf RotoTrack Review (5/10)

The first gun in history capable of giving the user Carpal tunnel syndrome.
How to I start this... ermm... yeah I'm a bit lost. I suppose you can say I wasn't exactly thinking about what I was buying on eBay at that very moment and ended up caving in on an old RotoTrack, one of the first belt fed blaster's Nerf has put out. But to put it this way, being one of the first usually isn't a good thing.

Nerf Vortex Nitron Review (7/10)

Collecting dust on store shelves since 2012.
This is one of those reviews where I came very late to the party. Anyways this is the Nitron and this is my review and opinion on Vortex's only assault rifle.

Skullcandy PLYR1 Headset Review

Let's face it, we all hate cables.
Headsets have been a basket case for me. I can never seem to find one that is of good quality for a price that won't kill my wallet. My past headsets, namely the Afterglow series, while good, were still far from perfect. I did have an interest in Skullcandy's line of gaming headsets at the time, in particular their flagship model, the PLYR 1. And believe it or not, I couldn't be more happy with it.

NECA Motorized Sky-Hook Replica Review

Used for zip-lining... and ripping someone's head off. 
I'm going to keep this one nice and short since I almost never review stuff like this, ever. Being a fan of Bioshock and knowing how expensive these things usually are(Found at Hastings for $40) I snatched it up. First impressions, other than the fact it's absolutely massive, the build quality is pretty good. Its made of the same type of plastic you find high quality Halloween props made out of. Holding it is somewhat uncomfortable because it uses a knuckleduster for it's grip and the trigger pull to spin up the hooks is a little tough. I did also notice that the big gear on the left side of the Sky-Hook was a little loose but I might be able to tighten it's screw down to fix that. Much these little quirks can be overlooked as it is a video game weapon and no real living human was intended to ever use it in real life, but there are a few things like the loose gear and the tough trigger pull that could be a little bit better... electric motor maybe? It's a nice quality prop, there's just some touching up it could use here and there. It still looks absolutely badass on display.
