#172933 The Things You Say...
Posted by The Trouble on 27 August 2008 - 06:33 PM in Off Topic
"You shot it at my mouth! At least it's not in my hair!"
All the adults fall down laughing. All the kids stare even more perplexed. It's damn good to Nerf with your girl

Glad to see another game developer on these forums! Keep up the good work.

#154158 Scout Modification (simple Mod)
Posted by The Trouble on 01 May 2008 - 05:40 PM in Modifications
Best mod for a Scout in my humble opinion: Remove the slide and glue it to another gun (so you can put neat N-Strike accessories on say a SSII) then throw out the rest
#150271 Your Biggest Nerf Regret
Posted by The Trouble on 09 April 2008 - 06:36 PM in General Nerf
I've given away or thrown out:
1) Manta-Ray
2) Bow'n'Arrow
3) SM5K
4) Uruk-Hai Crossbow (for those that don't know, that thing could put holes in a tank).
My biggest regret, though? Motorized Ballzooka. I hope I'm not alone on that one.
#143374 Crap! Lock Please
Posted by The Trouble on 01 March 2008 - 07:07 PM in Modifications
I've never tried the freezer method. I'm always willing to try something that ends up in my wife saying, "Why is there a Nerf blaster in the ____?"

By the way, good job. I don't have enough patience for hooks'n'needles.

#142160 Combo Upgrade
Posted by The Trouble on 23 February 2008 - 12:05 PM in Nerf Wars
Off topic: Can all you fuckwads please stop typing out sn1per? It's filtered out for a reason, and I'm damned tired of people masking around it. "Sharpshooter" and "Marksman" are perfectly applicable to Nerf, while that particular word describes a very specific role that is reliably unfun and unwanted in Nerf. Thanks!
#131830 Console Wars
Posted by The Trouble on 09 December 2007 - 07:39 PM in Off Topic
I'd also like to point out that picking a system based on it's "technical superiority" is pretty silly. I know that means it has the capability for having a more immersive experience, but I haven't seen any developers even attempt that. Another FPS, another driving game, another sports game (a new one every year!) gets old very fast.
For the younger crowd, I'm sure this is just fine, but I'm looking for something new and artistic (and that doesn't mean photorealistic).
I also despise the term "console wars". There's no war, because there's no clear winner...
...wait, maybe it is a war. Commentary aside, there'd be no Sony without Nintendo without Microsoft without Sony, and so on and so forth. Just have fun with what you like, let the fanboys rip each other apart.
#129977 The Black Friday
Posted by The Trouble on 17 November 2007 - 08:57 AM in Off Topic
No fucking thanks. I'm not going to be included in those sheep. I'm waking up at 5:00am, buying 2 dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and I'm taking it to the hard working folks at my ex-employment. I've got some happy memories at that store, and a lot of the people I worked with are still there. I'm going to make them feel appreciated (and then I'm going back to bed).

Seriously great stuff. I love D-Wayne.
#124296 Go Trash-picking
Posted by The Trouble on 27 September 2007 - 06:00 PM in General Nerf
As long as you're safe, this is a darn good idea. Aside from being a rather cheap way to get useful items, it's another good way to recycle. I remember a time in northern California where you could find full working computers in dumpsters (monitor, keyboard, the whole shebang).
I don't have any tips to add to Blaspheymy's, but I can add to the list of freebees obtained from trash: I've gotten a Bow'n'Arrow, a Manta Ray, and a Secret Shot II all from what was considered garbage.

Naturally that only works if the screw ports are large enough for your pen, but by Allah it works!
#107237 Ls Clip Holster
Posted by The Trouble on 23 May 2007 - 07:28 AM in General Nerf
I remember taking my LnL to a gun shop when looking for a holster. I expected to get looks like I'd lost my mind...but the guy was really helpful. Take the mags with you when you go. The store associates will probably help you out
#79805 Nerfers Nerfing Disease
Posted by The Trouble on 13 April 2006 - 07:35 AM in Off Topic
This project is really important to me. I'm thankful NH gave me the kick in the butt I needed to download the software. I'm proud a bunch of people who play with plastic toys is one of the top contributing teams in the world, aren't you?
So c'mon! Let's get those dusty old systems in the garage plugged in and put to good use. Not using your Xbox? Get Linux on that little guy, and have it fold while you're not playing. Let's keep this team at the top, and better yet...let's continue to contribute to something grand.
#77446 Bladder-repaired Wildfire

#77312 Bladder-repaired Wildfire
Posted by The Trouble on 23 March 2006 - 12:02 PM in Modifications
The range on that Wildfire should be a *little* bit better. Did you remove the air restrictors completely, or did you just remove the posts (leaving black "rings" in the turret)? If you removed the restrictors completely, range will actually decrease due to the lack of a seal.
Since the repair job has made it stronger than before, I'd recommend putting a bike-tire innertube around your bladder. It'll force the air out faster, and give you better results.
#76554 Nerfers Nerfing Disease
Posted by The Trouble on 16 March 2006 - 08:08 PM in Off Topic
Personally, I'm going to devote all the computing power I have to this particular cause. I urge anyone who hasn't to do the same.
PS: I'm taking inspiration from Piney and his blogspot "blog" and to finally contribute to this community in more than a passive role on the folding team. Stay tuned!

Posted by The Trouble on 12 March 2006 - 10:52 AM in General Nerf
Is evil the thing that Santa and Easter Bunny are? Oh wait...that's "good". I guess RAMBO and I are mixing those two words up again. How silly.

Exceptions include ones with broken turrets.
#74618 Blast Fire Help
Posted by The Trouble on 28 February 2006 - 10:25 AM in Modifications
If you can't get that part, all is not lost. Use the blast button on the top to fire all barrels at once. If you use a bit of ingenuity you may be able to get the button pressed with a trigger pull.

Thanks for motivating me to get out to Hobby Lobby to finally do this I'm sure your innovation will inspire others as well.
#68371 Xbox 360 Is Out Of Hand
Posted by The Trouble on 26 November 2005 - 06:39 PM in Off Topic
In reply to Davis, it makes perfect sense. MS (Sony, Nintendo) want to ensure that their numbers look good, and thusly want all their systems purchased. The illusion of rarity is important. Nintendo even admitted it was a tactic they used in the yesteryears.
#68258 Xbox 360 Is Out Of Hand
Posted by The Trouble on 25 November 2005 - 01:38 PM in Off Topic
Game console companies never make money on systems. They sell them at, or even below costs; they make their profit on licensed games and accesories. The original Xbox is still selling at cost...don't expect it to go down.
The Xbox360 is far below cost (I wish I had a link for you, but I don't).
I agree that it's rather shady at how few got shipped out to retail, but the marketing sense of it is clever. Like someone said earlier: the more rare an item is, the more sought after it becomes. Piney is right, too...there are millions of impatient (and stupid) people willing to shed out hundreds and thousands of dollars for the current flavor of the week.
Here's the main point: Why get upset?
Microsoft is a rather monopolizing super-giant that lost billions on Xbox just to get their foot in the console gaming market. If you're a MS hater, be satisfied.
Don't like the price of the flavor of the month? Don't buy it.
Think people shelling out tons of hard-earned cash is retarded? You can buy their system cheap when they're are tired of it.
My main concern is for the gaming market's lack of creativity, and it's downward spiral in Asia (arguably the home of digital entertainment). Of course that's a whole new rant. Relax folks. <insert generic "go nerf" statement here>

#64564 Youre Computer Specs
Posted by The Trouble on 29 September 2005 - 12:33 PM in Off Topic
Mouse Card (wow, this thing rocks. Too bad it's only useful when I run Windows).
Sound Card (the guys in Wolfenstein 3d actually speak now! No more bleeps for me).
VGA monitor! (The guy at the store said that most apps don't even use all the colors available to this monitor. Well worth the $300).
14.4 modem (top of the line. Those chumps I PvP with in the MUD I play are toast)

#62947 Ps2 Cluster?
Posted by The Trouble on 02 September 2005 - 09:57 PM in Off Topic
Sold (unless someone can find me a similar bundle for $100).
Thanks for the quick advice/link.
#62941 Ps2 Cluster?
Posted by The Trouble on 02 September 2005 - 08:23 PM in Off Topic
Anyone have any experience/advice on this matter? I'm sorry for adding to the off-topic mess, but I'm hoping some of the more tech savvy folks on these boards are able to help (it's for our F@H team!).
#62939 Gas Prices
Posted by The Trouble on 02 September 2005 - 07:58 PM in Off Topic
We really ought to put the lead on finding a good alternative to gasoline. Focus your frustration and anger on that, then we'll see some headway.
#61902 I Use Berries For Ammo.
Posted by The Trouble on 14 August 2005 - 12:22 AM in General Nerf
I've experimented with other types of ammo before, but I usually stick to more practical/re-useable materials. I doubt most nerfers would appreciate mystery berry juice being splattered on them.
Search for some Stefan making guides. If you set up your work area right, you can make tons in no time at all. Once you get a good flow going, the effort won't seem as severe. You can save yourself the embarrassment of being caught in your berry picking outfit as well.

Very slick, by the way. The case is very hitman-esque. It makes me want to host a drive-in movie in my driveway
*Thanks for the info, Boltsniper!*
#61544 You Were Warned
Posted by The Trouble on 09 August 2005 - 08:35 PM in News
"I'm curing cancer while I'm Nerfing. What have you done today, jive turkey?"
I just very much want to see "jive turkey" on a shirt again. I'm off to Staples for some T-shirt transfers!
#60964 Firefly Released!
Posted by The Trouble on 02 August 2005 - 06:22 PM in General Nerf
I'm in Springfield, Missouri. (For any locals: Check the little one on Campbell, the big one on Glenstone hasn't re-set their Nerf section yet. Also, the Target I called claimed all their Nerf was on clearance).
Ranges on the two are very similar. The glow in the dark darts are heavier because of the glow paper that's stuck on them. Because of this, it appears at first glance that the Firefly has less power. This is untrue. Both fire about the same distance as a stock Nightfinder. My guess is you could get about 75-80% of the range/power of a modded NF. For the amount of shots you get, it looks like a good buy.
The Firefly isn't huge, yet is surprisingly comfortable in my big hands. Even the stock is almost the right length for my 6'1" frame. Hope this information helps.
#60660 Any Mmorpg Players?
Posted by The Trouble on 30 July 2005 - 05:25 PM in Off Topic
Star Wars Galaxies had the BEST role-play community I've seen on an online game. Too bad the game is so broken that playing it is like cramming broken glass into your ear.
I play MMO's for two big reasons, and since role-play is sincerely hard to find in online communities, my other reason stands alone: fun in an evolving world. CoH is constantly changing,with new content added every 3 months or so. It's a GREAT way to keep in contact with all my friends and family in California, and we get to do more than just chat. I make friends in MMO's....I never made a singe friend in Counter-Strike.
(Post #10? Time to back off for awhile...)
