MANO 8.5! – Milwaukee, WI Nerf meetup!

https://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf

Good times up in Wisconsin this weekend with the MANO crew!  The Wisconsin scene is alive and well, and it looks like there’s still people interested in running around with toy blasters in parks.  It had it all- melee, marshmallows, Vapor, Nerf, and… more marshmallows.  Seriously kids, remember to always keep some large ammo in your loadouts if the war allows huge shields.

In any event, big thanks to the WI crew for letting us know about it and putting it on.  Wouldn’t be here to prove there’s an audience without guys like this.  I’ve got some POV footage coming up, so keep an eye for it a little later!

For now… the gallery’s posted above but let’s check some highlights –

Heads up from Tacticool Tag and Gaming Society of Chicagoland – Gears of War 3 – the board game!

For those of you (like me) that don’t own an Xbox 360 (why? Uhm… I’ll tell you about my early days playing, “Halo” and why I can’t trust myself with a nextgen system that has online play sometime), Fantasy Flight games made a tabletop Gears of War board game.  Snake (of TTAGS) checked with them at Toy Fair, and here’s what he thinks of this offering:
