Re: OHK/OHK Respawn Game

I've played Assassins where limb hits disable the limb in question for the duration of the fight. People hopping around was always funny.

Very, very familiar. Though usually someone gets hit eventually, most people can't dodge forever.

Re: How much water made these splotches?

I voted no idea, but truly, I don't care. I don't see volume as a relevant measure. Area soaked is what counts.

Re: Anti-WB Guns?

Maybe you could just try and hit it with a tennis ball? If you make the hit (difficult with hand throwing, maybe easier with a machine), the water bomb ought to pretty much drop to the ground, or at least be deflected of its original course.

Re: What makes a bad water gun / water blaster?

The Aquapacks were never quite as good as they could have been really. The smaller shoulder-strap one only held 1.5l, which isn't much. The larger backpack one, not so widely available (but it was supplied with the Overload blaster) held 3l, OK but not huge. The blasters they fed were for the most p...

Re: Concept: CPS2000X

I always thought the MXL actually had a single PC, but a check of your internals pictures reveals it does indeed have two.

Re: Concept: CPS2000X

Yeah, I was thinking go for one single large nozzle, and one selector for smaller nozzles. I wouldn't say there's call for a riot blast though, the 2000's regular nozzle will drench anything. Over-under is probably more ergonomic, but personally I think the MXLs side-by-side six-way selectors make f...

That's because there's nothing to "get". It's just some random battling scenes.

Re: CMC #14

You forgot what in my experience is the most common battle scene in OHK games: two people, each shooting at the other, with each person's shots falling just short of their target.

And the other common battle scene: one person running like hell being chased by another.

Re: Your Favorite Sleeper Pick

Pressurised garden sprayers. Most can be set to produce a jet. Not great range or output considering their size and weight, but mine surprised people who weren't expecting a jet at all (and who were laughing when I was shooting spray before the battle because I didn't have the adjustment right).

0:40 I think it's a bottle of bubbly; given it's Iran, probably sparkling rose water or something that they use instead of champagne for celebratory spraying.

Re: A little bit of perspective...

Is this from the Glen Canyon dam?

If so, then using the depth of Lake Powell as 170m, the water pressure should be around 250 psi.

Re: iSoak'D 041: Capture the Flag - Part 2

"The umpire's ruling is final" will usually put a stop to things like this. Alas, it's too late for me to test a similar idea. The CTF rules I used to play with said that team's may not move their own flag except to bring it back to their own base. (So they can't hide the flag). But they said nothin...

The Thunderstorm looks cool. All the current range do. And I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro are up to viral marketing.

Re: iSoak'D 040: Capture the Flag

Reminds me of the one very memorable occasion in a CTF game, when I got the flag and ran with it...straight into the ENEMY base. (In my defence, I had been drinking.)

Re: Tower Defense

I wouldn't bother with targets on the people. Just play that if you're hit, you're eliminated. People tend to be sporting. To be true to the tower defence video game concept, I think you need the following: Defenders cannot move, or have very limited movement - that's what makes it tower defence. Th...

Re: CPS Gun Wanted

The CPS 1000 and 1200 are very similar. Both are excellent blasters. I'd rate them a bit better than the 2100, which has similar power but lacks a strap. (Not that the 2100 is a bad blaster either.)
