#15637 Your Favorite Guns (and Combos)

Posted by cooldood31 on 03 January 2004 - 10:00 PM in General Nerf

I like the feel and sheer power of the two towers crossbow, and no gun can beat a duel barrelled SSII for faithfulness.



#13168 Why Do You Nerf?

Posted by cooldood31 on 23 November 2003 - 07:37 PM in General Nerf

I don't know if anyone brought this up already, but nerfing is just FUN!



#14240 Which Gun?

Posted by cooldood31 on 13 December 2003 - 10:32 AM in Off Topic

Depends, what guns do you have already?



#14340 Which Gun?

Posted by cooldood31 on 14 December 2003 - 08:23 PM in Off Topic

Buy the tech target, because cocking mechanisms kick butt and have a higher rate of fire than pump mech



#14626 What To Get A 7 Year Old Kid?

Posted by cooldood31 on 18 December 2003 - 07:40 PM in Off Topic

Get him LEGO. My dad has asked me to get mine off the pool table for months, but there's no room for more lego on the lego table or my desk, and it's too fun to put away!



#63853 What Other Sports Do You Do

Posted by cooldood31 on 18 September 2005 - 05:57 PM in Off Topic

Recently gotten into playing mod-stock paintball.



#59469 Titan Setback

Posted by cooldood31 on 16 July 2005 - 05:10 PM in General Nerf

Fairly common problem when modding newer guns. I'd suggest using TS's suggestion B, along with using pliers for extra leverage. This ussualy works for me.



#58139 Thinner Stefans

Posted by cooldood31 on 24 June 2005 - 06:49 PM in Modifications

Might just be the one package. I bought four packs of the same brand of 1/2 inch foam once, one of them was thicker than the rest. I just used a blowdryer to heat it up and stretch it out



#32744 The Next Eab

Posted by cooldood31 on 31 July 2004 - 06:55 PM in General Nerf

I have to get my hands on one of those! Another cool thing would be to cut down a nightfinder, give it a cpvc barrel, add a stock starting just under the handle, a cpvc "scope", paint it plack and white, and put a decepticon decal on the handle (in short make it look like megatron in gun mode). I just have to get my hands on a nightfinder...



#82932 T.a.r. Tactical Assualt Rifle

Posted by cooldood31 on 07 June 2006 - 07:54 PM in Homemades

It looks a lot like one of carbon's S.N.A.P. type guns, except painted black. It even has the same trigger mechanism. You might want to build a new one with a larger plunger tube and a stronger spring, because I don't think 35 feet is all that great.



#15816 Sylent_blade

Posted by cooldood31 on 05 January 2004 - 08:37 PM in Off Topic

I'm not leaving, i'm just saying he might come back, or just read and not post. I know the way these things work. Time passes and anger fades away, sometimes on both sides. I had nothing against him personnly, except I hate seeing a person brought down for nothing like he did to the others newbs like myself.



#15813 Sylent_blade

Posted by cooldood31 on 05 January 2004 - 08:22 PM in Off Topic

He'll come back. Most do. Even lone wolves follow packs, yet they are never part of it, I'm a good example of that.



#96112 Snowstorms

Posted by cooldood31 on 08 December 2006 - 09:51 AM in Off Topic

I just heard from a friend that they have over 2 and a half feet of snow in other parts of the city. It's insane. I really need to find some people to go to the park with today and play 'kill the carrier'. That has got to be the best game to play in the snow EVER.



#96110 Snowstorms

Posted by cooldood31 on 08 December 2006 - 08:03 AM in Off Topic

We got a foot and a half. Overnight. ALL the schools are closed today by order of the BOE. The mayor of London (Ontario) is advising us to stay home. Not even the city buses are running today. Isn't Canada great?



#16092 Sneakshot

Posted by cooldood31 on 09 January 2004 - 10:42 PM in General Nerf

I want one! ok range, has a stock, cheap, moddable, intigratable, It's a dream come true!



#67732 Seno '05 Vid

Posted by cooldood31 on 15 November 2005 - 08:17 PM in Nerf Wars

That video is awesome, but now for some strange reason I have a sudden craving for a xbow, a blue bandanna, and 32 more friends. And is it just me, or is somebody there wearing a paintball mask? What types of games were you playing anyways?



#14371 Saddam Hussein - Captured

Posted by cooldood31 on 15 December 2003 - 03:07 PM in Off Topic

Yeah but what about the "Weapons of mass destruction". The U.S.A has a crapload of nukes, so now it's ok for the states to have weapons but not other countries? I'll bet if Canada ok'd the misile defence system the states would have sent thier troops straight here saying "if they have a misile defence system, who knows what else they have"



#14559 Saddam Hussein - Captured

Posted by cooldood31 on 17 December 2003 - 08:40 PM in Off Topic

Our army kicked butt in WWII. Our generals kicked butt in WWII. Australia sent in less than half the amount of troups but lost the same amount. Also, Britan went into WWII the super-power, the states came out the superpower. Canadahas had an average army throughout history, except in 1812, the war the yanks say "never happened". We so owned the states, and detroit (the wimps gave in when they saw the troups, they were afraid of our native american forces).

oh yea, we burned the flag, and the white house.

Thanks for the back up Spectre.

#19394 Perhaps The Coolest Mod Ever

Posted by cooldood31 on 20 February 2004 - 08:22 PM in Modifications

I think the wide spread is cool, and probably good for night/ dark indoor battles. have one normal and one blue, put him in the spotlight with one, then target and blast with the other. It's almost as good as running around blinding people at night or during a blackout!

#94806 Next-gen Systems

Posted by cooldood31 on 19 November 2006 - 12:54 PM in Off Topic

Newsflash douchebag;

I love you too.

in the past 5 years I've given more to charities and other funds that are for the good of other people then I've spent on videogames. Do you want me to give every penny I make? Let's give to people we don't know who are probably going to die anyway, and then GIVE SOME MORE!

I never said you don't give anything, now did I? And about not spending money on yourself, to quote myself: "I don't think Elf meant that you shouldn't spend any money on yourself". And what's wrong with giving money to people that we don't know who are probably going to die anyway? If we can help to improve the quality of someone else, why does it matter if we know them, or if they die shortly afterwards?

No one said that PS2 didn't sell the most, but I don't agree with the fact that "they controlled 70% of the market" or whatever.

As I said, I don't know the numbers.

Yes that fucking blatant generalization was totally unnecessary, as was most of your post.

So what you're saying is that we should just sit around while thousands of people are starving and dying? While that's very decent of you

Who gives a shit if you'd rather play real football? You can't play real football all day. You can't do it with your disabled friends who want to feel like they can actually play, if videogames is as close to playing as they can get, you might as well play with them.


Again, your United States comment is an unnecessary GENERALIZATION. If I give 50% of what I make to charity or whomever you want me to give to and other pompous assholes who make 10x me decide to give nothing, how does that make me look? Bad. Gamers could be quite generous as a whole.

If you didn't notice, I also mentioned Canada using more energy per capita, and I said as a country. I didn't say "RAMBO, you greedy SOB, quit using all the F***ING ressources!" I said that as a society, we are very well off and should be doing more. If you are already giving a lot, you are doing your part.

Until you find a fucking resource and cite it and it shows that gamers as a whole donate less than the United States as a whole, SHUT THE FUCK UP

Nice day to you too.

In closing, I'd like to refer to my previous post and say: I'm amazed at how defensive and offended people get when others don't sugarcoat every one of their phrases, or point out faults.



#94800 Next-gen Systems

Posted by cooldood31 on 19 November 2006 - 12:14 PM in Off Topic

I almost completely agree with Elf about the amount of money people spend on video games.

Interesting fact is that in the last generation (Xbox ps2 and game cube) over all ps2 controlled almost 70% of gaming market. [I am almost 100% sure that you are incorrect. Possibly 70% of the console gaming market, but there is no way that they domintated the ENTIRE gaming market.]

I'm not sure about percentages, but I do know that the PS2 is the top selling console to this date.

Fact: foot balls (American, and rest of the world-ian) and other sport balls can all be found for under $20. [So, what are you saying, that anyone who owns a next-gen system is a fat ass? I may not be skinny, but I'm sure as hell not lazy, I find time to be active and play games.]

I think what elf is trying to say here is that you could be playing real football for far less than it costs to play a digital version of it. Personally, football isn't my sport, but I would still much rather play a real game of it with my friends than sit on a couch pushing buttons on a piece of plastic and pretend to play.

If you think that all the money we put towards video games should go to the poor. How come you play nerf wouldn't that money be better spent on 3rd world countries. One longshot could feed like 130 people you know. Don't preach to me that I should help the needy. The needy need to learn how to help themselves.

I don't think Elf meant that you shouldn't spend any money on yourself, just that you should try to think about others too. And as for the needy learning to help themselves, that is the most selfish inconsiderate comment I've heard in months. How can people learn to help them selves if no one teaches them? How are the helpless supposed to help themselves? Not every country is as rich as Britain, Canada, or the United States, nor as gluttonous. Canada uses the most amount of energy per capita than any other country. The United States has a mere 5% of the worlds population, but uses over 25% of the worlds ressources. Being as rich as we are, telling the less fortunate that they need to learn how to help themselves is just greedy, selfcentered, and pathetic.

Here's another Fact: 40,000 children die every day from Malnutrition, Starvation, or Hunger-related diseases. [And I'm sure you give your $20 to Greenpeace or whomever every year? I take time out of my life to build for Habitat for Humanity, and I'm sure other gamers perform community service. Sure, not all of them, but I'm really not sure what you're saying here; just because we spend 500$ on a vid game sys means we don't donate to people to save lives? I gave to Tsunami survivors, Katrina suvivors. I will not however donate to food for starving kids. I donate once and awhile to science to find cures for diseases plauging Africa and the rest of the world, but if I save one kid, 39,999 could still die, so what's the point.]


Elf isn't saying that nobody else tries to help others, he's just saying that there are people out there starving and, we, as a society, do very little compared to what we could be doing to help them. People spend so much money on themselves and try to justify it by saying "well I gave to this charity" ot "I helped these people" the point is that people could be helping more. As for the children that you can't help there's a story I once heard:

[indent=1]'A man was walking along the beach one afternoon as the tide was going out, when he saw a boy throwing starfish into the water "What are you doing?" the man asked.
"When the tide goes out, the starfish get stranded on shore and die, so I'm throwing them back into the water." responded the boy.
"But there are so many, you can't possibly save them all. You can't make a difference." said the man. The boy then picked up a starfish off the shore and said,
"It makes a difference to this one." and threw it back into the ocean.'


I'm amazed at how defensive and offended people get when others don't sugarcoat every one of their phrases, or point out faults.

Edit:

So why don't you all get off your gluttonous self-centered asses and do something to help someone for once![Just unnecessary]

Is it really unecessary, or was this phrase have a long time coming



#94680 Next-gen Systems

Posted by cooldood31 on 16 November 2006 - 10:10 PM in Off Topic

I'll probably be getting a Wii. Mainly for Smash Bros. Brawl, but also it seems that it's the only next gen system with any innovation. Sony and Microsoft seem to be locked in a battle about having better graphics and more powerful systems, whereas Nintendo is focusing on making gameplay better. I've been waiting a long time for someone to come out with a point an shoot FPS (Ever since playing Duck Hunt and Yoshi Safari) and Nintendo's finally pulling through with Call of Duty 3 and Red Steel (although I seriously think Red Steel is being over hyped). Also, I like the idea of downloading games that were on older system (Goldeneye anyone? How about Perfect Dark? Yoshi Safari? Maybe Duck Hunt? Bomberman 64?)



#56901 New Spring For Sharpshotter 2

Posted by cooldood31 on 07 June 2005 - 06:31 PM in Modifications

1. Try CXWQ's mod under the mods section of the site
2. If you can't find brass, do pretty much the same thing except use 1/2" cpvc
3. Put it in a package and mail it to me. I think this is the best option, as I wouldn't charge you a cent. :)



#56969 New Spring For Sharpshotter 2

Yeah, but if he ships it to me, than I'll own it, which is the best possible outcome.

Wow. I guess this shows how little we trust people. What motive would this guy have to lie? Just cut him some slack and see how he does. He might prove to be a great asset (not quite the right word, but you get my drift) to nerf and nerfhaven, so why turn him away. Just because somethings are hard to believe, doesn't mean that they aren't true.

I am well aware that nurturing isn't done here, and turning this place into Nhq is the last thing i'd want. I'm just saying that some people should back up a bit and give him some time to come up with proof. If he doesn't, We'll all know that he's full of "retarded bullshit".

#45550 Nerf World Order

Posted by cooldood31 on 06 January 2005 - 03:33 PM in News

This sounds interesting. I think it's a good idea, but it will be fun to watch what goes on here in the next little while. I think that this will be good for the forum, after watching the number of trolls and others that have come through here degrading it dureing the short while I've been a member. The world of nerf must constantly change and adapt. Looking forward to seeing if, and hoping this is, a change for the better.



#41467 N-strike Maverick

Posted by cooldood31 on 11 November 2004 - 07:01 PM in General Nerf

If it uses megas you can just wrap some duct tape around some 1/2" cpvc and ram that down existing barrel, and repeat that for every barrel.



#41214 N-strike Maverick

Posted by cooldood31 on 09 November 2004 - 04:20 PM in General Nerf

I think the reason the cylinder is off center is because it partially opened to reload, but maybe not. I hope this isn't just a knock off of the buzz bee toys six shot and I also hope that it has a bigger plunger tube than the six shot, but the top cocking mech. makes me worry.



#12227 My Sharpshooter 2

Posted by cooldood31 on 01 November 2003 - 11:38 AM in Modifications

i left the top berrel normal for short range and quick reloads. I'm also gonna be carrying another weapon. And since nobody else i no has ever modded a nerf gun i have the best range out of anyone I know. So Grinchie, since you don't know what conditions I'm under, current state of my competition or anything about me cut it with the destructive critisisme. OK?
