In terms of musical talent Nirvana was horrible. I'm not saying they're a bad band, their live act, image, lyrics are an entirely different ordeal. They did, however, do one thing though and they did it very well -- they brought grunge to the mainstream. They didn't invent grunge or really even develop it much. Kurt's guitar playing is mediocre at best, even if his voice blends well with the instrument. They simplified and made poppier what Sonic Youth, Alice and Chains, and Green River had been doing the entire time. Now don't get me wrong they're not that bad. They're no where close to the best band, guitarist, or lyricist ever, but they're far from the worst. The reason that they were so popular is because the lyrics aren't profound or really deep but they're easy to understand and tell teenagers exactly what they want to hear. The music is simple and catchy but edgy and memorable so it was perfect for the mainstream. On their own, they're pretty good but compared to some of the other grunge bands (check out Mad Season and you'll catch my drift) and in comparison to their absurdly inflated image, they're shit.
On a side note, Cobain couldn't have shot himself with the amounts of heroin that he had in his body. When you have three times the maximum lethal dose for even a serious addict, you really can't fire a weapon too well.

I'm open on the 22nd and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to drive myself but I doubt my parents will let me drive anyone else.

Alrighty, I'm coming for sure and bringing Tojjy. My bag's still packed from Armageddon, darts are made, and epoxy is dry. Good to go.

This Christmas, help those less fortunate than you...
Those with less experience, perhaps less of a home...

Your ass better show up this summer for GEDDON OH FIVE. It's only cross country plane ride Groove, get it together!Looks like you folks had a grand old(e) time. Irvine, that's the spot for 'geddon, right? Makes me wish I could go back out there.
Spoon looks damned tired there...and Steve, Jebus Cripes, looks like a tree with blond hair. And since when did Ray shave off all his hair? Doesn't it get freaking cold in California during the winter...at all? Even a little bit?
While we're on the subject of Hubbard, he looks particularly scary in that picture. I know, I mean - I know Hubbard is generally a scary person, but he looks exceptionally kooky in that picture.
Spoon's getting old and is starting to settle down. No more wild cutoff sweatpants anymore.
I look damn rugged and you know it.
Ray's a giant douche. A fuzzy giant douche. Actually it's 75 degrees year round but sometimes it gets cloudy or drizzles.
Hubbard flew in on his gun/spaceship integration, The S.S. Hubbard. Don't ask.
(ps that war was fun.)

hey fellas i'm back. been a while hasn't it, how the fuck have you all been?
anyways i found a video when i was poking around on You Tube of what looks to be a nerf AK, for lack of a better name. from the video its a bolt action, clip fed, ejecting shell nerf rifle.
i searched around and didn't find anything, so if this has been brought up already i probably look like a douche but does anyone know anything about this?
looks bitchin.

God I haven't been on this site in what feels like years. Cleaning out the garage over Thanksgiving break, I found my boxes of guns and ammo and paraphernalia and thought back fondly to my days of Nerf. I think my last war was Armageddon at Toj's house or maybe a YANO after that. How are you all? Who's still around? Kevin and Julie at least, I'm guessing, how are the kids? Spoon and Vacc? Ray? I trust the horsemen and the lawn chair mafia are still around.
I'm a freshman at UCSB now. Pretty safe to say that no one nerfs. What have I missed? Some legit new guns, I imagine. The last one I rememebr coming out was the N Strike (was that the one where the three guns attached together?)
Anyways, I just wanted to say hi and that checking in has made me a bit nostalgic for my days of modding and organizing wars and hanging around this place. Good to see it's still going strong.
Keep it real.
(Oh and Groove, you actually are the father.)

Holy shit, it's good to see you post something for once. I believe the last time we spoke was in '03 at Armageddon? Not counting this past summer, where we drove off with Toj's phone in hand, you were on the line, and we had to toss the phone back to them in the other car at a stoplight. That was kind of cool. But I digress...
How have you been, you salty sea dog, you? How's life? How're the children? Wait...
I'm...the father? ...Was it a boy, or a girl?
Not much has changed, except your absence at Armageddons, and the cold lonely nights I spent by myself now. Longshot came out (clip fed rifle), and the Magstrike (re-worked powerclip). OMC, Kuhlschrank and myself made a documentary video of this past Armageddon and travelling out there, etc. which can be downloaded here. Other than that, everything else is pretty much the same. VACC still drinks the blood of his victims from a skull turned chalice, OMC is still devouring entire clans, I am bringing sexy back, and Spoon and Cx still keep it real. But the real question is, how are you, sir?
-Groove
Its a man boy goat servant.
I look very foward to the crossbow not being rereleased.
I'm excited to watch that video, it didn't work until I realized you forgot the f in your link. Noob.
