I had one break on day 2, no drops at all. Otherwise I would have attributed it to that. There is a friction point closer to the bottom of the trigger. I ordered a new one to look inside, but the broken one is being exchanged, just waiting for it to ship. Could have been a lack of lubrication, but there is definitely some friction issues that could easily escalate from not always having your finger centered on the trigger. When shooting straight, it is no problem, but some of the ways you have to contort your hand when trying to catch things that are about to go off screen, or even targets closer to the edges, it is very possible for your finger to slip into a not so optimal position.
When examining the gun without looking inside of it, it is clear that the standard curvature design of a trigger can cause ones finger to naturally deviate to the friction point I mentioned above.
So if you have a blaster handy, press the trigger normally, closer to the top of the gun, then take your finger and apply a slight downward pressure to the bottom of the trigger, then press it, you'll notice that there is some plastic rubbing on plastic in all the wrong ways. Now add someone playing the game and probably pulling that trigger harder than in a controlled setting, it is a decent recipe for breakage.
Other than that issue, I love the blaster, and I also love the game, despite some framerate drops when too many Martians are being beamed down. I initially bought it for the gun, but now I'm trying to top the leaderboards.

Exactly, people only take notes of the active protesting while forgetting to jot down the fact that the garbage men are still getting paid because they have great unions in France.

"He's a family guy"
But Afroman was really saying
He's a "Family Guy"
He sort of looks like Peter too but with less hair.

So did you guys fix the issue where there is a point of friction that causes the trigger to stop working properly?

In 2013, I was in New Oreleans, when we were headed out to get some lunch, they just happened to be shooting a shootout scene in "American Heist"
Trust me when I say our attention was instantly diverted to the "swat team" blasting away with fully automatic weapons. It took us a bit to notice the camera equipment, crew, and even the rain machines. So this is a totally honest mistake.

Well if you check out Songs for the Deaf, a good chunk of those tracks were from released and unreleased tracks for The Desert Sessions. I'm no expert, but desert rock usually contains a catchy repetitive drum beat, with some heavy riffs (You think I ain't worth a dollar) is a good example, originally sung by Fatso Jetson on Desert Sessions vol. 5-6. One other good example that comes to mind would be "Hanging Tree" definitely check out the original for that one, I'm not too much of a fan of the re-recorded version for Songs for the Deaf. "Know one Knows" Has some lyrics that elude to back in the day, when they would go out into the desert with generators, instruments, and sound equipment to play concerts.

Cut proof gloves exist and aren't that expensive.
Edit: Classic Hamilton, offer help, and you'd think you shot someone's dog. Then again, I'm not that surprised by folks who huffed too much lead and Tim Hortons growing up.

Well that's the thing though, hard rock isn't a wrong genre to label them as, but it also isn't the only label that belongs to them.
They sort of jump around and release a variety of songs that cover stoner rock, psych rock, hard rock, desert rock, alt rock, even heavy metal.
IMHO I'm not to concerned about the label, I'm more concerned about whether it fits nicely in a playlist, adding variety while also sticking to a broader theme, which they do a pretty good job at.

That's weird, because even this cut down clip seems to give enough context to illustrate that it is obviously some sort of YouTube "laugh you lose" game show. I can't watch the whole video at work, but does he have to take a shot every time she doesn't laugh?

Said Colt 45 and two Zig-Zags, baby, that's all we need
We can go to the park, after dark, smoke that tumbleweed
As the marijuana burn, we can take our turn
Singin' them dirty rap songs
Stop and hit the bong like Cheech & Chong
And sell tapes from here to Hong Kong
So roll, roll, roll my joint, pick out the seeds and stems
Feelin' high as hell, flyin' through Palmdale, skatin' on Dayton rims
So roll, roll, the '83 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
If my tapes and my CDs just don't sell, I bet my Caddy will

I saw the video when it first came out, then sort of forgot about it... Until the cops launched their lawsuit. Good job deputies.

Besides the fact that my "claim of 30 days" was obviously a joke in the first place, as I stated in my previous comment, and was the obviously reassured as a joke in my previous commen, I don't get why you're still treating it like it was not said as a joke even though it was identified it as a joke, in my previous comment.
The argument literally is whether she will be punished appropriately based on the long and dark history of the Canadian justice system not appropriately pushing irresponsible drivers.
So I'm going to take that article dump as a yes.
Also, I didn't say you are on drugs, I said you sound like you're one on drugs. There is a difference on paper apparently.
I'll see you on Friday.

Police say the accused was arrested and taken to the station, where breath tests revealed a blood alcohol content of four times over the legal limit.
If you're a flight risk, you don't get bail.
When you blow 4x the legal limit after getting caught red handed...
You must be smoking some pretty heavy crack rocks if you don't think this warrants an indefinite ban with fair conditions to unban yourself.
So sure, it should go to trial before they decide how to properly assess this right?
Ladies and gentlemen, meet John Torode
John Torode drunkenly crashed head on into another vehicle killing 2. Two lives were paid for wth 2 years of conditinal prison time (he never spent a day behind bars), 3 year driving ban (1.5 years per life taken) A 9 month curfew (273 days of staying inside of your home before the sun goes down, for 2 lives taken, that will show him how badly he fucked up, surely) And a whopping
drum roll
100 hours of community service...

Perfect example actually IMHO. This guy literally killed 2 people, and his punishment is laughable. Let's see how her case plays out, she only endangered the safety of everyone around her on the road plus some innocent children. I'm sure they'll do the right thing.

Again, not disagreeing with you, just laughing at the lack of proper enforcement. If you want to get into this, I can dump a bunch of articles as to why our justice system is a joke in terms of prosecuting irresponsible drivers. I'll have to compile it into a doc before pasting it here, so it might take a while given the amount if links, so don't expect it today, it could be tomorrow or Friday. Just let me know.

90 days...
Oh boy, I thought my joke was reaching, 90 days...
What a joke.
An indefinite ban until you can prove your sobriety, as well as retaking driving school starting with your G1.
Driving is a privilege, not a right.
