Slashdot Mirror


Zero Blaster Reviewed

Daniel Rutter writes "I've just reviewed the Zero Blaster, the smoke ring gun that ThinkGeek (among others) sell. It works. It's fun. It's a vortex ring physics demonstration with two triggers and a see-through mechanism. What more could you want for $20?" Thinkgeek and Slashdot are both owned by VA Software.

    Thinkgeek and Slashdot are both owned by VA Software. Damn it! Here I was preparing a huge conspiracy post about how VA Software is abusing Slashdot's position among nerds to promote merchandise from one of it's other companies and then you just give it all away. What am I supposed to complain about today then? Couldn't you atleast give me a dupe or some bad grammar?

    It's $20 and produces smoke rings? Must be an eighth of...oh...nevermind it's a toy. :-P

    Keep in mind that someone submitted this. And that the editors of slashdot are too busy on stage three (that's right PROFIT!!!) to care if Thinkgeek makes a couple of extra bucks here and there. Plus, admit it. You want one. Or maybe I'm part of the overarching conspiracy too. Bwahaha.

    When I read the title I thought, "OMG! Someone made a sequel to Zero Wing?!"

    Oh well, a smoke-ring gun is pretty good.

    Awww, $20?? I wanted a peanut.
    With $20, you can buy many peanuts!
    Explain how!

    Ouch. If it stinks, then you can bet it's not going to impress women much. Besides, I don't think they have the same attraction to rings or holes that we do.

  13. ultimate office intimidation weapon by DdJ · · Score: 3, Funny

    My office-mate keeps a rifle that fires ping-pong balls in the office. I keep a Zero Fog Blaster. This means I always win in the intimidation battle.

    Why?

    I don't mind being pelted with ping-pong balls. But he absolutely can't stand to be subjected to the awful artificial cherry scent of the fog rings...

    It might smell like cherry, but I bet it tastes like ass.
