I’ve been at it long enough to decide I enjoy making videos and am going to keep doing it.
Also changed my profile picture to suit.
“Gel Ball Nobody” is my little after hours blaster business/hobby/side hustle/vice… Mostly the vice! I am an addict, a true sucker for punishment!
The name is a joke. I can’t take things too seriously.
“who made your gel blaster?”
“oh you know, nobody!”
The idea of this tread is primarily for, content requests, feedback, discussion, and generally to have a place to post my nonsense, which I am trying for once a week, but it might be just a few times a month!
Later this week, I have my first official blaster review to do. I hope they don’t “cherry pick” the blaster. My preferred method to review would be to buy anonymously, that way I am “just a nobody getting a blaster”.
If there is anything you would like to see covered in a review, let me know!
I will likely do I out of box review… then a teardown internal review… and of course a upgrade!
Goodonya for this thread mate, certainly going to be interesting, educational and VERY bloody funny with your cracking sense of humour.
I know I asked a while back about setting up a space for your YouTube channel here, but figured it was best left for you to do in your own time and style, so it’s great to finally see the move.
I was thinking, I for one would be happy to submit any new blaster I buy that may be of interest to you for review on your channel.
I figure that might help out with keeping the content of your channel regular… of course, these days me buying a new blaster might not be a highly regular event.
On the island of the cyclops, when asked for his name, he replied “nobody”.
Later , when he heated a stick, stuck it into the cyclops’s eye, blinding it…
“Nobody has attacked Me…! Nobody has harmed me…!! Nobody has blinded me…!!”
Thus , the alarm was not raised.
Nobody has upgraded my blaster.!
Nobody has released another video.!
Nobody has blown up my gearbox…!!
Nobody is replacing it…!!
For @RokSolid , should i ever know of somebody,
who regularly buys the latest model, of interesting items,
that could be passed onto you, for teardown / review / upgrades…
Did you sell one @BME ?
Great story, I wasn’t aware of it, but knowing it makes it better!
Thanks gents, I’m not really a showman as such, but I can waffle on about blasters!
@Friendly_Fire I appreciate the offer, though I too understand the irregular event of buying a new blaster after being in the hobby for so long.
I’ve bought a lot of second hand, ex demo, dead, broken blasters, and built loads… but new? Not many! Certainly not many in recent years.
I am mostly looking for a project to tinker with more than a new blaster, so not new suits me and is always cheaper.
Most customers blasters don’t come to me in good working order!
It is true, a new blaster to review is something special for me.
I’ll do a review, give it a teardown and minor tweaks (seals, shimming, deans plug) and then happily hand it to someone to abuse on a field.
I’ll look after it and have mechanical sympathy so I am not a good gauge of how reliable something is!
@BME if anyone wants to entrust me with their new or near new pew toy for a review, worst case scenario it gets a free upgrade!
On the topic of SLR’s, I’ve got a very similar box full of an old customer’s black and tan SLR in a pile of pieces if you are interested?
I simply don’t have the wall space or enthusiasm to muck around with many different leftover dissasembled Gelblasters that I still have in my collection , so if interested, can happily pass on with the other parts I’m still yet to get my arse into gear and send!
I appreciate the offer, and am always interested in any potential project
Having constraints of working with what is supplied and only using minimal extra parts does make for an interesting build where I get to use my head to try and get the most of it.
It would get built and be kept safe for you, just in case you are ever in the far East of the country and get the itch for some blastering!
That’s my favourite too mate, just good old Aussie banter and comedy, with a good amount of piss taking humour and typical language expletives where necessary!
Honestly… I try not to swear when filming but it just doesn’t happen! And at some point I just decided f*** it I’ll just go with the normal Aussie language.
Easier that way.
What expletives lack in sophistication and depth, they make up for whole heartedly with a delightful clarity
