New grips on an old pistol

Here is my 1911 with a set of new grips courtesy of Bernie of Nierbee Custom Grips.  He does beautiful work and this one is no exception.  It's a little different than the norm of smooth wood as grips.  I like the texture of it.  In any case, if anyone feel the need of a new set of grips for whatever pistol you have, give a shout to Bernie.

One More Weekend at Picton

Another weekend means another night of airsoft at Picton's Craig Complex.  This time, it is just a plain old game without fancy rules and one hundred plus players.  Chris was again the host for the game and he just wanted to run some simple scenarios.  There was over twenty players in attendance and half of them were Ghosts.  I am the one with the skull balaclava with Colin on the left and Patrick and Tom to the right.

Ops Core Helmet

After several weeks of mulling it over in my head, I went ahead and ordered the Base Jump Military Helmet by Ops Core.  I came to know this product through another airsoft player and fell in love with it when I tried it on to size it.  It was extremely light and the strap system is quite innovative.  After further procrastination, I went with the urban tan color.  I intended to order black initially but after a while, the tan started to look good too.

So Much Rain

After I finished work today, the sky took a turn for the worse and I know that a downpour was not far.  The wind picked up quickly and I can see flashes in the distance.  I managed to get inside just moments before the first rain drop fell.  After that, I could see lightning strike every few seconds for several minutes.  Then everything just stopped.

New Console Revealed

So there you have it, the new Nintendo console, revealed this morning at Nintendo's E3 press conference.  Not too much was revealed though.  Some of the information speculated before the reveal was confirmed, such as the 1080P output and its actual name.  The Wii U.  Yup, that is the name.  Seriously, Nintendo.  Wii U?  Really?

Zombie Game of 2011

Finally, after an all nighter, I am back safe and sound and I think I've rested enough to properly write.  Saturday night, I attended a zombie themed airsoft game at the abandoned Picton hospital.  The game was hosted by several of my teammates.  I spent the whole night running away from the zombie horde while low on ammo, only to finally join the undead ranks.  Overall, the aches and pain all over my body meant that I had a good time.

Ready for the Weekend

I am pretty much packed and ready for the weekend. Very excited for this as I will be heading to Picton again for a night zombie themed airsoft game.  Pictured are my gear and equipment essentials that I will be bringing, although I swapped the Desert Eagle with a classic look of the 1911 as I do not have a proper holster for the unwieldy hand cannon.

PS3 Woes

After several years of collecting dust, my PS3 is finally starting to crap out.  It seems like the HDMI port is no longer putting out a signal.  It functions normally when hooked up using S-Video, although the loading indicator LED seem to keep going on the whole time.  I actually bought the system mainly as a BluRay player rather than a gaming machine as I only have five games for it.  I prefer to use my 360 for gaming since I feel more comfortable with its controller.  The PS3 controller feels too cramped for me.
