so nerf is making a battery operated, tripod mounted machine gun that fires three darts per second.
belt fed.
i can’t even imagine what reloading this baby is going to be like, assuming you can even find all the darts.

apparently what i need out of spore is not a full game to plug creatures into, but a town where i can just have creatures i’ve created run around, be cool, and hang out. maybe acquire furniture and make them live together in house. train care bears to ride around on deep crows. [...]

yes. hasbrotoyshop.com updated with upcoming figures from indiana jones wave two. (possibly three…)

at least now we know where they [...]

spawn series 34 - spawn classics — we ran out of new ideas so we’re just going to remake a bunch of old ones.
this is the second or third wave consisting of remakes of classic mcfarlane figures, although we’re using a pretty loose definition of ‘classic’. some of the [...]

i realized today that most of my video game playing time is spent in gta and animal crossing. it’s most interesting because gta ostensibly promotes wanton destruction and self-interested mayhem and violence, reckless driving, and anti-social criminal behavior, while animal crossing is a life simulator that ostensibly teaches the value of honesty, community, and [...]

mega bloks flying dutchman. 250ish pieces, comes with firing cannons, cloth sails, and mini-figures of jack sparrow, davy jones, bootstrap bill, and a different monster pirate depending on whether you’re getting the pirates 2 or 3 edition. standard retail $60, on sale for $25. that’s 60% off. that’s ridiculous. that’s [...]
