Super Soaker XP 310 Test Fire
I'm not going to review this old soaker actually, but its a lot of good fun and is much better than the triggerless shit(Arctic Shock was actually kind of fun)Nerf puts out under the great name nowadays.

Super Soaker XP 310 and 270
I just picked these vintage soakers up on eBay a few days ago, with a little conflict. The 310, I believe is the largest soaker in the XP lineup and the 270 being second most to that. Individually, soakers, and maybe even these can get ridiculous prices and that is absolutely not worth what they are. To put it this way, I got the duo for 99 cents. Yeah, you can see why he would get pissed off, but snooze you lose. After a short conflict, I turned down his cancellation and threatened to trash his feedback and have PayPal get on his ass if he refused to ship the items. He shipped them and all is well, unless he took a hammer to them to make sure I got my money's worth. I'll get reviews up for those when they come, and a potential mod for the 270 since its missing it tank cap(easily fixable). In the meantime, I need to find my old Max D 5000 I used many years ago in 2001.

Nerf Vortex Diatron Review (4.5)
I haven't bought a Vortex blaster in quite some time, my last one being the Pyragon. So I found this thing at Wal-Mart for $20 bucks and it was the last one on the shelf so I figured "What the hell." This is the Diatron, the newest Vortex blaster so far. And its a little strange and a little awesome.

Blaster Types that are Pretty Much Dead Now
I came to the realization that even though Nerf and the other brands out there have put out some pretty neat stuff recently, the golden age of innovation for these brands was long left behind after N-Strike took its foothold in 2003, leaving Larami(One of the most renowned manufacturers at the time)and OddZon down in a ditch while the long running tactical based blasters took the foot hold for the new generation's interests. People didn't want Ballzooka's, Mad Hornet's, or Crossbow's anymore, they wanted something that resembled their Barrett or M4A1 off Call of Duty instead. It's the things around us shape what we are, that's exactly what happened with Nerf. Here's some of the gear that the new generation missed out on.

Acer Predator G3 Upgraded
You can never get enough power. I got this Acer a year ago, and for my first actual gaming PC, it was a rocket ship until newer, more demanding games hit the shelves. I was able to run Bad Company 2 on medium with some minor lag, and BioShock Infinite on Low just barely. I was pushing my old NVidia GT630 to its limits, and it was not happy about it. So I did what all sensible people do and replace it.

Nerf Motorized Ballzooka MP150 Review (3.5)
Ball blasters, they're the last thing most modern Nerfers would purchase. Inacurrate, cumbersome, absolutely trash range, they're what we don't want dart blasters to even resemble, and as a result slowly tricked off the shelves as far as 2006. But I found this monster on eBay, two for 50 bucks and what the hell, they were vintage. Sold. This is the Ballzooka MP150, ball jokes are not intended... maybe.
