Feb 13 2009 Don't Try This At Home: Shooting Friend With Black Powder Powered Nerf Projectile
Note: Video contains a little foul language. Sailors, please ignore this warning.
Basically these asshats stuff a suction-cup tipped Nerf projectile into a real gun, pack the thing full of black-powder, and shoot some guy in the gonads. It looks like it hurts. Skip to about 2:30 for the actual shooting to begin. But warning: you may want to cover your own junk with a coffee cup while you watch. Haha, just make sure it's empty first -- MEDIC!
Tip: don't fire a Nerf dart out of a real gun [dvice]
Thanks to Ryan, who once shot a friend in the ass with a blow-dart gun and would have gotten his ass kicked had he not coated the dart in poison frog.
Oct 9 2008 Human Vs. Zombie Tag A Growing Trend On College Campuses, Having Sex Declining
Apparently Human Vs. Zombie Tag (HvZ) is a growing trend on college campuses.
An HvZ game typically involves hundreds of students and runs 24 hours a day for days on end; dwindling numbers of humans try to fend off and outlast growing legions of zombies.
The rules are fundamentally simple: Zombie tags human, human becomes a zombie. Unlike movie zombies, with shambling walks and undead makeup, zombies in the game just wear headbands to distinguish them from armband-wearing humans. And they are free to sprint.
If you're a human, you can "stun" zombies for 15 minutes by hitting them with a Nerf gun or balled up sock (preferably stuffed with pennies). I dunno about all that, but, for the sake of unbiased reporting, I suppose I'll have to play before passing judgment.
UPDATE: I bit some bitch's arm off! Good times!
Hit the jump for a video of a game that actually made me feel embarrassed for the guy talking.

Jun 20 2008 Video: Epic NERF Battle In Cubeville
I said give me a damn minute, I'm trying to post here.
This is a video made by what is probably the least productive company on the planet. It's a 5:00 epic NERF battle complete with horrible over-acting and, sadly, no nudity. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a scene from the offices here at Anticlown. We don't do NERF guns -- we use real thing. But The Superficial Writer still makes little pew pew noises when he fires and, more often than not, shoots himself.
Okay, now we can go to the hospital. But we're taking your car or the bus -- that's a lot of blood and I just got my shit detailed.

Apr 29 2008 Sweet Steampunk Nerf Rifle On eBay
This is a steampunkified Nerf gun that was recently for sale on eBay. The winning bid was a whopping $455 + $35 shipping, for a grand total of, uh, less than $500. Per the auction:
Good Evening My Lords and Ladies:Allow me to present to you the latest in steam powered weaponry, straight from the laboratory of Professor Oliver Shagnasty, Esquire.
Up for auction is a ONE OF A KIND, TOTALLY CUSTOM, NEVER DUPLICATED, ORIGINAL STEAM POWERED NERF.
Cast your gaze and wonderment upon the steam age's most advanced Plasmatical Ejector, the Prof. Shagnasty Model 101. Mr. Shagnasty has spent many hours preparing an equalizer that is capable of performing feats that heretofore were unfathomable!
Professor Shagnasty? Was he really calling himself Professor Shagnasty? I mean Dr. Steamdong I could understand, but Shagnasty is just ridiculous, and, quite frankly, a little vulgar. Great job on the mod though, I think it looks great. Just the thing I need to ramp up the cubicle war I have going on with The Superfical Writer. He stapled my head to the desk and drew a penis on my cheek when I dozed off on the job yesterday, so he's got it coming.
Hit the jump for several more worthwhile pictures and a link to the auction (with a ton more high-res eye candy).
Feb 19 2008 Nerf Vulcan Is Fully Auto, Fully Awesome
Ah, Nerf guns. Many a fond memory of playing with those things. I had the old school one that shot the yellow foam balls. I forget the name of it. Something popper? I can't remember. What I do remember is the dog eating all the damn ammo. Then instead of playing with Nerf guns we shot Ping Pong balls out of our mouths at each other. Which was fun until my babysitter hit me square in the eye and I fell and broke my thumb. Good times.
To keep the foam-based childhood memories alive Nerf is releasing the Vulcan EBF-25 later this year. It's an "electrically powered, belt fed, tripod mounted, foam dart annihilation machine." It comes with a 25 dart ammo chain and runs on 6 D batteries (like my girlfriend's favorite toy). MSRP is a paltry $40 so you will definitely be able to afford one. For your viewing pleasure I've included a couple pictures of "Titan" from the new American Gladiators showing off the gun (and his) after the jump. Warning: the combination of wicked toy gun and hunky Gladiator may make you gay.
Hit it for the pictures.
