We’re Still Here!

Sorry for the lack of posts in…20 days? Holy crap!

It’s been busy around here. Whether bouncing between games, working, or helping my wife as she gets ready for both major grad school milestones and flying home to see family. So I’m behind on posting news and reviews. One more week, though, and I’m at least *relatively* in the clear, and can go back into overdrive to make up for lost time.

In the meantime, I have footage from many recent events up on Youtube!

Splatrball SRB 375M Gel Ball Blaster Review

Not everything has to be a “rifle”. Flinging projectiles at friends takes many forms, and sometimes you just want to dump in some rounds and go. That’s what the SRB 375M is for.

High fps? Check. High rate of fire? Check? Awesome paint scheme? Also check! The Pulsar Pro is as strong an entry as they come for the US market, and it’s one I hope to use even more in gel ball wars over the summer.

Banned Blasters Banshee Cage: First Thoughts

Adventure Force Jurassic Pro Tranquilizer Blaster Review

About a week and a half prior to this review, the Jurassic Pro appeared on select Walmart shelves in Texas. Thanks to a friend down there, I was able to get one in the mail. Now, after lots of time testing (both on a workbench and on a playing field), I’ll gladly add to the hype. The Jurassic Pro isn’t the pro blaster we expected, but it’s definitely the pro blaster we needed,
