All Assassins Creed fans: 
If you have not noticed jet. Ubisoft revelled cover for just announced AC3 which comes out in October 30th. From the cover, we can see that it will be placed in America at time of American Revolution which took place in 1775 to 1781. IGN.com suspects that it will happened between 1777 to 1778. There are several clues that suggest that. Like flag in the back and uniforms of the solders.
I must say, I am very excited for this new chapter of AC. I just love the way this new character looks. There are some strong Native American signs. However, I don’t know how will the gameplay be satisfying. In previous ACs we had lots of building to climb, high towers and so on. But at this point in the history American colonies were not so populated. There were some cities, however none of them were anything like Venice, Rome or Constantinople. But we’ll see. I thrust Ubisoft not to disappoint us.
Today there were also some screen shoots leaked. They do reveal quite some more stuff, but this are still just some speculations. It seems that we will be able to climb threes and hunt. So for that surrounding areas will get stronger position. But most importantly, we know now that our targets are British soldiers and influencing figures. And our friend will be George Washington.
Also on Monday,5th of March they shall revel trailer with much more clues.
There's STILL TIME to get in on this month's giveaway! Contest ends November 30th at 11:59pm, so get those photos uploaded and submitted to win my Retaliator! 
I'll update this topic as they become more widespread, but the N-Strike Elite Stryfe is certainly making the rounds. From being spotted on Toys R Us shelves around the United States to now getting listed on Wal Mart's website, the Stryfe will likely be a hot item this holiday season.
Urban Taggers has posted a picture of the new box art of the Elite Rayven. Instead of glow-streamlines, it'll feature glow-Elite darts. The Rayven is also getting a performance upgrade, suggested by the "75 ft" range claim on the box, but I'm just happy to see my favorite electronic blaster in those great Elite colors I've loved since the start. It raises a bit of a point of speculation for me, though.
While other Vortex blasters in the lineup have not followed suit with this new White scheme that the Pyragon and Diatron are featured in, the Neon Green color that was exclusive to the "Light it Up" blasters (Rayven and Lumitron) leaves the Lumitron as the remaining blaster in this color scheme. There haven't been any sightings of a white Lumitron to suggest this change, but it seems like a possibility to me.
As many of you know, I like blue. It's been a big reason I love the N-Strike Elite lineup so much. I had toyed with the idea, long before Elite came out, of a blue Spectre and eventually ended up repainting one. Now that we've got Elite blasters flowing onto shelves like the repainted Jolt and Rayven, I wondered if the 3 Store-exclusive blasters might get into the mix too.
If you missed it, there are blasters exclusive to certain retailers. Wal-Mart has the Spectre, Target has the Alpha Trooper, and Toys R Us has the Barrel Break. I decided to take a bit of a closer look at the possibility of Elite-branded Store-exclusive blasters. First, we need to consider the fact that N-Strike Elite will eventually replace normal N-Strike blasters (at least it's looking that way). One could assume that with this replacement, we could see the Spectre, Barrel Break, and Alpha Trooper "Elite-ified", but there's a player that I think might have put a stain on this wishful thinking.
The Rough Cut 2x4. It's essentially replaced the "shotgun" role that the Barrel Break once played. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have two shotgun-based blasters. The Rough Cut will have the edge over the Barrel Break any way you cut it (pun intended). Range, speed, ease of operation, it's got the Barrel Break beaten all the way around.
The N-Strike Elite Stryfe is a Flywheel-driven Clip-fed variable pistol with options for a stock, barrel extension, as well as a top and bottom mounted Tactical Rail for other N-Strike accessories that was released in Fall of 2012. There are a few interesting features about this blaster on the inside as well. Below is a video detailing the various functions of it's internal layout including a full explanation of the safeties and locks built into it's design.
SoundMedia.ch (German Website) has images up of the new Super Soakers that'll be coming out in 2013. There's some interesting designs among them, including the Arctic Shock and Flash Blast. There's a few other links included that list the "Switch Shot" and "Shotwave".
Browsing through the German website Soundmedia.ch, I was once again looking at the image of the Nerf N-Strike Elite Rampage; it was an old early image of the blaster that was to come with a detachable shield (and a Retaliator stock?!). It really is a shame that Nerf decided to leave the shield out of the final release, as personally I found the Rampage in box to be a tad underwhelming- it provided LESS than the original Raider kit, and the shield just made a whole lot of sense. 
Water guns these days are considered to be the projectile blaster's poor cousin but the funny thing was it wasn't always the case- you could almost say it was the other way around. Water guns used to be very popular and probably the 'ammo' of choice for most outdoor battle enthusiasts. While the lightweight casual user would just annoy the popular girl in school with his 2 buck squirt pistol bought at a newsagency, whenever there was a water fight to be had, it was like an arms race to get the biggest, highest capacity, furthest shooting blaster one could find. Any dart guns normally were single shot and weren't that exciting.
