Nerf Wars?!! Part 2

Recently in an attempt to organize out Nerf arsenal I realized that it had grown substantially since my first Nerf post.

4 extra units and lots of ammo. My favorite is still the long clear one and the massive circular cartridge. Though the transformer is probably the most coolest.

There are foam bullets EVERYWHERE!

Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock and more?

Trying to decide who gets the last of dessert we played rock, paper, scissors. This reminded me of the rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock game made popular by The Big Bang Theory. The clip below shows Sheldon explaining the game to Kripke.

 

Here's a blooper clip of his first attempts :)

 

Back to trying the find a nice diagram to simply illustrate the game I came across some interesting results.

There are plenty of shirts printed with the game diagram. Some with just the Vulcan greeting, with a photo of Spock and even cute cartoon illustrates of him. The Sam Kass website even has a merchandise section.

But who would have thought the game was too easy? If you're one of them maybe you could try your hand at rock, paper, scissors, gun, lightening, devil, dragon, water, air, sponge, wolf, tree, human, snake, fire. Phew! I'd like to see someone try and explain this game as well as Sheldon explains RPSLS.

All hail Sam Kass! (and Karen Bryla)

 

Nerf Wars?!!

Recently we acquired some Nerf guns from our friend. She gave us a couple of pistols (N-Strike Maverick), a machine gun with a few chain refills (N-Stirke Vulcan) and a clear long one that I've not sure what it's called.

Neither of us ever had Nerfs as a kid so we had lots of fun shooting each, using furniture for cover and trying to get to the higher ground! Target practice was the most fun though (my poor plushes ^.^) and target practice makes it heaps easier to find the darts again.

Going a little Nerf crazy, and getting one as a gift for a friend, we found someone selling a couple of N-Strike Longshot guns on gumtree. It was a good deal, two guns plus accessories for $60. Of course as soon as Ken took them to his best friends place they started modding it. They removed the air compressor and now it shoots much more accurately and with more force.

My plushy target.

Our arsenal of guns, ammo and "opperators" haha or victims I guess.

Party!

 

 

Perplexus- a belated birthday present!

A friend of mine gave me a belated birthday present yesterday ( Thanks Chucks!)

Inside after carefully unwrapping the box I found the most awesome puzzle game. The perplexus is an approximately 20cm in diameter ball with a series of paths that when followed, gets you turning it in all directions. I'm sure I'll never get through it!
