Gel Ball Nobody's nonsense corner

Friday again! Todays video honours where I began imports… APC-9K, two of them, two different degrees of upgrade. One a delightful customers, one is mine… It finally go the treatment! 4pm today! (AEST)

The next few weeks I have scheduled while away are all a series of videos about the big ole DMR, E&C HK M110A1. Some of that was due to release right before the troubles, so it is a bit of a time travel. That gets it through May!

All going to plan, when I return I will be straight back into it, and have content for June.
Two customers blasters to hook into soon as I return, and I have a number of my own to do as well if I don’t get more work before then! So no shortage of carry on to show.

Also toying with a few ideas for other videos, and open to suggestions, so chime in with ideas, but if I put my own spin on it don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Some ideas I have toyed with or have been suggested/requested:
Gel growing guide
Blaster buying guide
Second hand market roasting (again)
shimming guide (not doing that lol there’s plenty)
what parts and how I choose them
showcase/show-off

Open to all ideas to keep it interesting :slight_smile:

It also occurred to me this morning… my next AEG will be number 60!
I know, that’s a lot of AEGs… but you try working in the industry and obsessively collecting for almost 9 years and see how you go! Yeap, 9th year in the hobby next month!

So I am formulating a plan/scheme to make number 60, something special!
I have a few blasters I really want still (how? I know!) but think I should pick something special/significant to me for it.
Who knows, maybe I buy something brand new for a change! I rarely buy brand new blasters.
The challenge will be holding off on any deals I spot until then! :rofl:

A DMR REVIEW!:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I loved your Marketplace video, but gotta make sure I’m not drinking a coffee or a beer whilst watching!:rofl:

A parts video would be interesting and helpful for people searching for good quality parts that SHOULD fit their builds.

But a Gel growing guide would probably be the most watched video for anyone on the Webs searching for such important information, especially when it appears that there’s very little online videos to be found on this topic.:+1:

Sorry I couldn’t help it but you left yourself wide open and it’s Fuck All Friday! Got my missions accomplished, out with a lil port, fire, took the gov off hold and they actually did what I wanted them to do. Wow, stranger things have happened. :+1:

Let the backfiring begin! Please be seated in a locked back position. No smoking light on. All systems nominal, we are go for launch.

Watching the E&C KH417 pt2.

The background music sounds like I’m playing DOOM the game :joy:

That was the prompt! :rofl:
It is no secret I am a huge DOOM fan, a large part of that fandom was the music.

Enjoy :metal::metal::metal:

Oh hell yeah, Wolfenstein 3D, Duke Nukem and Doom back on an old 386 desktop computer back in the day day

Also one very similar to Wolfenstein that was focused around a research facility with doctor’s/scientists, I forget what it was called :thinking:

Doom really was a turning point , for the video game industry.

The Last of the “small scale productions”.

The game was designed, written and coded, by a handful of blokes, in their garage, over a few months…

Now, video games are big as hollywood productions, with hundreds of people involved…

Takes years, and costs millions , to make them.

Look at the RE remakes.

RE2 remake, 2019… has sold about 17 million copies worldwide…at $100 a hit… thats $1.7 billion dollars…!!! For a game that cost maybe $20 million to make…!!

Resident evil is capcoms most lucrative franchise …

So to self profres my nerdery… my PC gaming goes back a bit further… back to captain comic, dangerous Dave, Duke Nukem, lemmings and commander keen era. Civilization was the first game that really kept me up late getting in trouble from my parents lol.

but Wolfenstein 3d was a game changer… then DOOM was a real turning point.

Followed was a lot of great games like Blake Stone, Duke 3d, and once quake came we had the joys of the LAN party to follow!

Quake 1 and 2, Half life, command and conquer, age of empires, and many a bottles of piss every weekend, unless we were camping at the dam or a mates farm. Wasn’t a lot else to do where I grew up!

Also goldeneye on the n64 was a absolute banger.

Counter strike in its early half life mod forms was about the end for that then I finished school and moved away from gaming for many years until I had kids and needed a quiet activity once we got them to bed and before we went to bed.

As much as I enjoy gaming it was never a lifestyle, more a quite bit of relaxing, or a social beer with a game and mates online that I couldn’t actually see due to everyone had kids and commitments that kept us apart.

The wife and I tried a VR thing recently… considering getting into it but the price for the amount of time we actually play games… it is pretty steep!

She gets more game time than me as I already have an expensive time consuming gel blaster hobby! :rofl:

Hey I’m old enough to remember blowin’ coin on this bad boy… :rofl:

Haha I remember that! And Pac-Man, space invaders and asteroids on the same sit on either side of the table machines!

On fairness though they had been out a little while before I seen them!

( at least you can tell her that…!!)

Hate to think how many hours my friends and I spent playing multiplayer GoldenEye.

Original Warcraft on PC was another classic midnight burner
