Nerf elite

Hey peoples. Today I'm gonna talk about the new Nerf guns coming out. Here it goes.

Okay so Nerf is making a new series of Nerf guns. It is separate from the N Strike, Vortex, and Dart Tag series.








It's called N Strike Elite.


It's some N Strike guns that have been upgraded, reshelled and repainted. It's also grey, black, and blue instead of the traditional N Strike orange yellow and black. There's the Retaliator a Recon upgrade, the Rampage a Raider upgrade, the Stockade a Barricade upgrade, and a Firestrike a Nitefinder upgrade. There is also supposed to be a Jolt Elite but I haven't seen a reliable picture and I don't think there gonna make one because the Jolt is just single shot pistol that fits in your pocket.


Everybody's excited about the Firestrike because the Nightfinder was so cool. Lastly is the new Vortex Pyragon and the Hail Fire.

The Retaliator is the same as the Recon except its got a new stock, a repaint, and better internals that make it shoot up to seventy five feet. The Retaliator is basically a pistol with a stock and barrel extension. Unfortunately the barrel extension doesn't help ranges from reviews I've read and the clip holds 12 Elite darts. For me a 6 out of 10.


Retaliator




Recon

The rampage is a raider with once again a repaint, better internals for Max ranges, and a 24 dart drum instead of a 35 dart drum. I'm not sure how that last parts a upgrade but I hope it jams less frequently then the raider. My raider I got for Christmas fired 1 dart and broke. :( the Rampage you hold with too hands one on the handle and one on the loading handle the darts are held in the drum on the side. For me a 7 out of 10.


Rampage



Raider



From left too right
Alpha trooper 18 darts
Rampage 24 darts
Raider 35 darts

The Stockade has a repaint, better internals, and a stock that holds 10 darts so the blaster has 20 in total. The Stockade is a automatic pistol with a stock. For me a 8 out of 10.


Stockade



Barricade

I would review the Firestrike but I don't have enough information on it.



Only pic of the Firestrike it's supposed to come out in 2013.



Nitefinder simple and powerful.

The Hailfire is the biggest blaster of the year. It's a blaster with rotating ammo rack that can hold 8 clips of ammo. If you have 8 18 dart clips that's 144 dart capacity, the largest ever! Its automatic too.


Hailfire

Lastly there's the Vortex Pyragon that is like a Raider with a 40 disc drum it can slam fire too. Its also red and white instead of the traditional green and black Vortex blasters. Slam fire is when you hold the trigger down and pull the loading handle back and forth repeatedly.


Now for the Elite darts. They carry the same blue color scheme as the Elite series and are supposed to go farther. They differ from regular Whistler darts because their a bit longer, made of better foam, and have a better tip.



So that's it on the latest Nerf weaponry. The Retaliator and Rampage are the only ones in stores now but the Stockade is available for preorder in the UK. I don't have any of these guns though so for a review I would look somewhere else.
Bye!

The Beasts of Tarzan

Hi. Today I'm blogging on Tarzan. Here it goes.






So I'm reading the third old Tarzan book. It's called Beast of Tarzan. I haven't read the Tarzan books in a while so I was a bit surprised when it was in the third person. Are the other books like this? I don't remember reading a third person book in a long time.


It's one of the lesser known Tarzan books. Its starts out with Tarzan's son being stolen by Nicholas Rockoff who escaped from jail. Rockoff was the enemy in the second book too. Then Tarzan is marooned on a jungle island and Jane and the baby escape from the ship. that's where I am now. I have fond memories of Tarzan from when I was younger.



From the Disney movies and tv shows and when my dad showed us a old Tarzan View Master. Those are the things that you look at pictures that tell a story in a camera thing. I only remember one picture where Tarzan was on a hill wrestling a huge brown ape. The sky was red and lightning flashed behind them. I liked that.








The two above may have been from the View Master.

So Tarzan is a great character. Along with Warlord of Mars of course. Bye!

Road Warrior

Hi. Today I'm blogging on another game. Here it goes.



The game is called Road Warrior. It's a racing game. It's also much different though because you can steer or go faster manually. It's one of my favorite games. I've had it for a couple months



So you start off with the weakest car. You can buy attachments, decals, and paints. But none of those effect the cars performance. You can buy better weapons too. Lastly you can buy better weapon accuracy, speed, turbo, and health.






So you start off in last place and you don't have to push a button to accelerate because it starts for you all you do is work the controls. So you can push two different buttons to flip different directions in the air which gives you a speed boost, which stays longer the more you flip. Then there's a brake button and a button to shoot other cars.


So road warrior is a great game. It's got simple controls too.
Bye!

Infinity blade 2

Hi everybody. Today I'm gonna talk about Infinity Blade 2. Here it goes.



There was a new update called Vault of Tears. The first part of the game is Japanese themed.


This update is medieval themed.


It now has clues to treasure and stuff from treasure maps you can buy with virtual money.


It got new weapons and armor too.



The game likes to have matching items. So to be silly they made this outfit.


There's much more monsters too. Here's a tip DO NOT pull the sword out of the ground. A monster came out and killed me with 1 hit.



There's much more puzzles with this update too. Also I found a treasure map that told me too go to the Japanese place but I don't know how to get there. Can anyone help me? Here's a link to to a site about the update.

http://epicgames.com/community/2012/05/vault-of-tears-update-for-infinity-blade-ii-announced/

If you look at the comments it tells how to get cool items. But be warned it has game spoilers. It got much more story too.



So Infinity Blade 2 just keeps getting better and better. Also if you don't understand the story there's a book called Infinity Blade Awakening on iBooks that explains everything that happens between the first and second games. There's one more feature too. You can go to clash mob and play online challenges against titans from both games. Bye!

Plague inc.

Hi peoples. Today I'm doing a game review. It's a simulation game.






The game I'm doing is called Plague Inc. it's where you create a disease in one country. The goal is to kill everybody and you lose if they are no more infected people and still some alive. Along the way you get DNA points for how many people you've infected or if you've infected a new country. You can use the points to evolve the disease for transmissions, symptoms, or abilities.


Transmissions is how you infect people you can evolve air, water, birds, bugs, cattle, and blood to blood contact. Symptoms you can evolve a coughing symptom into a deadly fever, there's paralysis, loss of motor control, and even insanity. Abilities can protect you're disease from temperatures and cures. Planes and ships can have you're disease and infect other continents.






This game is really cool. You can change the disease too, by unlocking them in the game. There's even nanotechnology. The next update is supposed to have zombies. Here's a tip though. Don't start in America because they are rich and have lots of medicine. India is great.


You should really get this. It is very creative.
Bye!

Prometheus

Hi peoples. Today I'm doing a movie review. It's a horror/scifi movie.






I'm doing it on Prometheus! I was literally vibrating with excitement before I saw it that there was gonna be an Alien prequel. It was even by the same director. When I got home I was happy and scared lying in my bed staring at the ceiling and being scared out of my mind at every creak in my room. The creatures were a little confusing but I figured it all out.





This is the first time I've done a newer movie too. I was at ocean city when I saw it and me, my dad, and my sister were seeing it. We went to see it at 7:00. Then we walked home in the dark... ( if you've seen the preview this will not be a spoiler). So two scientists who love each other ( I don't think it ever tells you if their married although their last names are different) find ancient races all with the same picture of the same star pattern and a giant pointing at it. So then them and 15 others go off in the ship Prometheus to find out what's there.





The 2 scientists ( the girl being the main character ) think that these beings they nicknamed engineers genetically created them. So they go off to " meet their maker " as said in the film. I rate it as a 10 but of course this is coming from a huge Alien fan. The movie also shows you how the very first xenomorph is created.


So I think Prometheus is a great movie with horror, scifi, monsters, and a mystery about what's are purpose. Its also has lots of action and special effects. Bye!

Lightbike 2

Hi peoples. Today I'm doing a game review. Here it goes.



I'm doing a review on a game called Light Bike 2. I play it on my iPad and iPod. It's an action game where you are a bike that leaves a trail of light and if you hit your trail, other bike trails, or go off the area, you die. There's multiplayer too. It's basically a Tron ripoff but it's a good Tron ripoff.



You can customize you're bike too. The parts can be won by winning achievements but you have to buy some.


You can go on the Internet on the app and play with other players.


You can change your color from red, blue, yellow, and green. There's 2 different stages and 2 different modes.



Standard mode is when you try to beat everybody 3 times before the other bikes. Death mode is when you have 3 lives. The first stage is just a square.


The second stage is when you have 4 squares and the starting square is higher then the square to the left, the square to the right of it is lower, and the last square goes up diagonally.


You can boost your speed, jump, and use power ups including, rocket jump, and turbo boost.



My sister and I played together on different phones a while ago on the Internet. It was fun. Katie likes it too.



There's a first game but I think it's just the first stage so I would go straight to light Bike 2.


I love it. Bye!
