The Doomsayer (Modifed ERTL RFSG)

Rip and tear, until it is done!

After my scathing review of the Rapid Fire Shotgun I wasn't about to let that front heavy piece of crap collect dust. It's been a while since I've done a big mod so I broke out the tools and began work on what ended up being one of my best performing blasters yet. This is the Doomsayer; there are plenty of guides on how to build one already so I won't go into mod guide mode on this but building it with what I had already was bit of a pain in the ass, but it paid off big time.

ERTL Rapid Fire Shotgun Review (3/10)

There is nothing more underwhelming than this.

Everybody loves a good pump action right? Practical, high rates of fire, and powerful. The Alpha Trooper and Rampage are probably the most refined examples of a pump action blaster on the market right now. So what happens when someone else tries to make one? ERTL who we already know for the god awful Pump Action Shotgun also made a bigger, more badass brother for the craptastic ball shooter we had rebuild from the ground up to love. This is the Rapid Fire Shotgun, twelve rounds of complete and utter front heavy failure.

Buzz Bee Berserker Review (6/10)

Man portable dinosaur hunting weapon.

Back in the mid to late 2000's Buzz Bee was nowhere near as we know them today. They never made high powered Sentinels and whatnot like they do now. They tried cramming shell ejection into every possible blaster they could think of, which of course never ended well. They didn't discover the concept of ergonomics yet, and the grips on their blasters were best suited for someone missing two of their fingers. Oh and of course there was the Tommy 20, pretty self explanatory at it's best. But even in the sea of shit they were producing for years on end, there were a few rare gems. One of those is the Berserker, a hybrid blaster that takes a high capacity revolver and a rocket launcher and fuses them into one. But how good was it exactly?

Lanard Big Salvo Review (6/10)

We got the rockets.

Hey what do you know, more slightly obscure off brand foam weapons to review! I got several more on the way and this is just one of them, actually the first Lanard blaster I've reviewed on here. Let's face it, air power is fun. It can shoot either really fast or really far and it could leak like a sieve too! No batteries required, just a little muscle and some epoxy. The Big Salvo is one of the few remaining air powered blasters on the market and it aims to meld speed and power together in one package. But does it really? Let's find out.

BOOMco. Burstwave Review (5/10)

Range? What the hell is that?

Yeah I know, I've been reviewing dart blasters with less and less frequency lately but no I'm not dropping Nerf and whatnot any time soon. The new stuff just hasn't hit the shelf yet and I'm not seeing any vintages worth grabbing on eBay yet. So today I picked up one of Mattel's more oddball blasters. This is the Burstwave, one of few remaining air powered blasters on the market and unfortunately, it's a bit of that one word we like to call terrible.

The Beast Has Arrived: Alienware Area 51 R2

Not from this world.

Today was a sad day, I said goodbye to my faithful Acer Predator G3620 that has been the backbone of everything from this blog to just my personal usage. After a recent power supply failure and the massive influx of new games and peripherals that are a bit too much for the Predator's old GTX 660 and 3rd generation i7 to handle, I began to look elsewhere. I initially wanted to upgrade the Predator to a new 6th generation i7, max out the RAM at 16 GB, and chuck in a GTX 980 TI but because of the limitations of the custom motherboard designed specifically for the Predator, that was about the most I could do. However miracles do happen, and a deal came by that I couldn't pass up. That's how I wound up with this monster of a computer, an Alienware Area 51 R2.

Nintendo "New" 3DS XL Review

Weapons upgraded.

After I reviewed the Wii U I felt like Nintendo had built something that was far too different to be a worthwhile competitor to Microsoft and Sony. The console was too unorthodox and unsupported compared to the competition plus it's price point wasn't exactly great compared to the PS4 and Xbox One. So I decided to delve into an area of Nintendo that wasn't as subject to scorn as it's home console, their handhelds. This is the latest version of their 3DS console; the oh so creatively named "New" 3DS XL and I do have to say, it's pretty awesome.
