#33714 Feelings About High School

Posted by Mantis on 10 August 2004 - 10:27 PM in Off Topic

Go rent Dazed and Confused, then apply it to your situation.



#33654 [ec] Gnomefest3 August 21st

Posted by Mantis on 10 August 2004 - 12:37 PM in Nerf Wars

I'd be up for a bag of zeros, the price sounds good.



#33565 [ec] Gnomefest3 August 21st

Posted by Mantis on 09 August 2004 - 09:36 AM in Nerf Wars

Ok then stud, whatever you need to tell yourself.



#33446 [ec] Gnomefest3 August 21st

Posted by Mantis on 07 August 2004 - 03:27 PM in Nerf Wars

Talio, you probably won't like the answer; after hearing about Seth quitting poker because of his girlfriend's wishes, I get the feeling theres no answer that would appease you.

Just kidding.....




...but seriously.



#33079 Apoc

Posted by Mantis on 04 August 2004 - 12:00 AM in Nerf Wars

Ok guys, the rocket idea was mine, I'll just admit it. I was hoping that the rocket team (mine) would be 5 people that worked so well together they would kick ass despite having shitty rockets and pistols against brassed 2k's and such.
Either way, it was a damn fun game.



#33078 Modded Titan!

Posted by Mantis on 03 August 2004 - 11:52 PM in Modifications

Unless they figured out a way to decrease the number of pumps from the 14 or so it takes, this gun shouldn't be banned, even if it does shoot as far as a 5k. Seeing as how you have to pump from the back it takes a while.



#32927 Apoc

Posted by Mantis on 02 August 2004 - 05:11 PM in Nerf Wars

We did get lucky as hell as far as the rain was concerned.



#32919 Apoc

Posted by Mantis on 02 August 2004 - 03:31 PM in Nerf Wars

Oh well. We might not be used to the same set of rules and such, it took some time to get everyone from our normal group to get used to the way we like things done involving arguments and that stuff.
Either way, everybody is gonna get pissy about something during the war, and when the war is over, you forget about it, so its all in good fun.



#32503 Nj Apoc '04

Posted by Mantis on 28 July 2004 - 11:31 AM in Nerf Wars

You and Talio could pitch a tent in the park then drive home the next day.



....I got nuthin'



#32389 They're Here.

Posted by Mantis on 26 July 2004 - 11:37 PM in General Nerf

The texture and such, they werent as sturdy.



#32385 They're Here.

Posted by Mantis on 26 July 2004 - 10:57 PM in General Nerf

You're right, we specialize in being cute and takin' names :w00t:



#32376 They're Here.

Posted by Mantis on 26 July 2004 - 10:46 PM in General Nerf

I don't like raining on parades, but the Shindig found this stuff at the pool store he works in. He got a boner over it, but its not as good as the gray kind. He has the 5/8" if you guys want any.



#31880 Nj Apoc '04

Posted by Mantis on 20 July 2004 - 11:44 PM in Nerf Wars

Rambo better be coming. I think I'm gonna go buy some of those yellow balls so he doesn't lose all of his when me and Howard steal his ball guns ;).



#31661 My Photostory

Posted by Mantis on 19 July 2004 - 10:59 AM in Off Topic

Yes, you are smart. Now lets hope you're smart enough to get far away from that IP address before our secret police come.



#31605 My Photostory

Posted by Mantis on 18 July 2004 - 12:54 PM in Off Topic

Dont worry fans, we just did one, we're throwing it up, then we're probably gonna do one or two more before re-unveiling the site.



#31488 My Photostory

Posted by Mantis on 16 July 2004 - 09:12 PM in Off Topic

Rats, I was hoping for a full photostory. Alas, this did make me laugh pretty good.

Check out www.positiveaftermath.net .



#31458 Nj Apoc '04

Posted by Mantis on 16 July 2004 - 04:22 PM in Nerf Wars

Groovey, its totally worth the 6 hour drive or whatever Talio estimated it being. Unless it ends up like that time everyone came and we went back to Paul's and played Halo instead...
Uhhh, yeah its gonna be a hoot!



#31299 Nj Apoc '04

Posted by Mantis on 15 July 2004 - 03:54 PM in Nerf Wars

You can count on me to be there!



#30533 Air Xxl Skeet Shoot

Posted by Mantis on 06 July 2004 - 03:41 PM in Modifications

There is a lot of packaging and such, then the skeet launcher is pretty big, the gun is pretty big, and its electronic. The skeets are just cheap discs. Me and Howard tried ripping the boxes open and getting the gun out so we could bargain for it claiming it was like that when we found it. Alas, the stupid twist tie things held it in and we couldn't get a discount for the boxes being opened.



#30532 John Titor

Posted by Mantis on 06 July 2004 - 03:38 PM in Off Topic

Didn't everyone let this go back in November or sometime around then?



#30420 Lan Games

Posted by Mantis on 05 July 2004 - 03:46 PM in Off Topic

I love small games of texas hold'em that end up with one guy winning all the money; having $30 you didn't have 4 hours before is a good feeling.



#30418 Air Xxl Skeet Shoot

Posted by Mantis on 05 July 2004 - 03:31 PM in Modifications

Me and Howard bought one each of those a while back. We didn't really discuss what we each did, but I know that my new barrels didn't work at all, they were too heavy to even rotate.
I cut the barrels down a bit and returned it.



#29983 Nj Apoc '04

Posted by Mantis on 30 June 2004 - 04:50 PM in Nerf Wars

The ocean is about 20 minutes away. There's also a river within spitting distance of the park (not the one you guys have encountered during wars, but that creek does connect to the river).



#29095 More Love From Hasrbo

Posted by Mantis on 21 June 2004 - 10:23 PM in General Nerf

Talio, I love you in a butt way.



#28232 East Coast War

Posted by Mantis on 10 June 2004 - 05:26 PM in Nerf Wars

So who is still coming?



#27546 Expand-a-blast Mod

Posted by Mantis on 02 June 2004 - 03:31 PM in Modifications

If you mod the gun right, you don't have to worry much about the spring. I think i stretched mine once and it wasnt even much of a stretch. My point is, if you do the rest of the mod right, the gun will kick ass without changing the spring.
That's just because I was too lazy to go find a good spring and pay for it though.



#27479 East Coast War

Posted by Mantis on 01 June 2004 - 07:02 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm not trying to be a dick, but if you can get time to go back out and check out the woods areas, it would help a lot. The Speedball area looks super awesome, but it will get tiresome playing in the same area all day.
Otherwise it looks like this is just what my wet dreams were.



#27397 Tap Rule?

Posted by Mantis on 31 May 2004 - 09:03 PM in General Nerf

We also use the " 'tap' " rule as a piano wire scenario too. If you sneak up behind someone you can tap them instead of leaving a hole in their back with your 5k.



#27319 East Coast War

Posted by Mantis on 31 May 2004 - 12:24 PM in Nerf Wars

What about Yoohoo?!?



#27264 East Coast War

Posted by Mantis on 30 May 2004 - 02:49 PM in Nerf Wars

Don't worry, the LCM is gonna have a cirlce-jerk/dart making fest before the war.



#27033 Domination Nj

Posted by Mantis on 25 May 2004 - 09:18 PM in Nerf Wars

And I'm almost positive Vacc said what date is good for him, I remember seeing the 18th right above your post...



#26945 East Coast War

Posted by Mantis on 24 May 2004 - 08:37 PM in Nerf Wars

Seeing as how I'm the big bag head lifegaurd, I could make sure me and the Weeman get there without a problem.



#26891 Domination Nj

Posted by Mantis on 24 May 2004 - 05:12 PM in Nerf Wars

We really want everyone to make it to this. The park is totally awesome and the command points have been selected carefully. We have 2 water coolers, and we'll probably buy gallon jugs so each command point has a water supply.
We really can't explain just how cool this park really is.

If we get a good turnout for this and everyone has a good time, we have some very exciting ideas to add to the game.



#26869 Nj Conquest War Wrap Up

Posted by Mantis on 24 May 2004 - 02:07 PM in Nerf Wars

Bad: Me missing the war due to the whole grounding thing after getting home from prom late.

Good: I got home at 6:30 in the morning.



#26469 May 30th Nj War

Posted by Mantis on 18 May 2004 - 04:53 PM in Nerf Wars

And I hope that if the other team is brought under seige that there will be no food breaks. Straws shall be distributed to the under-seige team for selection of who takes a hit for the team.



#26316 May 30th Nj War

Posted by Mantis on 16 May 2004 - 03:11 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm coming. And I forget/am too lazy to read the topic, whats doing for lunch at this thing? I'll bring hot dogs if we can grill. We'll have to rely on Shindig for his buns though *chuckle*.



#26315 East Coast War

Posted by Mantis on 16 May 2004 - 03:08 PM in Nerf Wars

Gunnedown!!! You get your ass to this war, pronto!



#25690 East Coast War

Posted by Mantis on 08 May 2004 - 02:32 PM in Nerf Wars

We'll be nerfing on the Olsen twins birthday.
*thinks about how the I Win topic is going to be resurrected"



#25530 East Coast War

Posted by Mantis on 04 May 2004 - 04:43 PM in Nerf Wars

Yeah, I think I'm just gonna start making ammo the week before this war and not stop until the end of the summer. After seeing a park Evil thought would be good (and I concur), I realized I'm gonna need a boatload of darts for the coming wars.



#25403 May 30th Nj War

Posted by Mantis on 02 May 2004 - 09:01 PM in Nerf Wars

Thats the way I see it.
