The Flamebone

Sunday, June 5th, 2011

This is a homemade flamethrower trombone. It’s made from plumbing, torch, and compressed air parts while still being able to play, features a 21 foot range with a concussive wave of 150 feet, and can be heard from 2 blocks away. Gentlemen, I believe we’re looking at the future of High School marching band competitions.

Just An Excuse To Watch Women Dancing In Camouflage – Mild NSFW

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

The song is Everybody by Rudenko, but honestly the music isn’t the reason this vid was posted. It’s really because of the interrogation being performed on that captured soldier, by attractive dancing women… Actually, it’s only because of the attractive dancing women. Enjoy!

Call Of Duty Elite

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

Introducing Call of Duty Elite, an innovative new online service that significantly enhances the Call of Duty franchise’s multiplayer experience delivering a new level of social engagement to players worldwide. Connect. Compete. Improve.

Honestly, I see both positives and negatives with this service. The positives: stat tracking, detailed weapons bios, clan formation, leagues and operations, the program guide, expanded theater, and being able to potentially access it from my iPad and other mobile devices. It all looks pretty sweet. The negative: having to pay for additional services. That ain’t sweet. At least there’s the tiniest peak at MW3 at the end of the video. And hey, they’re offering a chance to get into the closed beta for the service right now, so go and sign up.

Sawblade Slingshot

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

I’m not quite sure it tops his Machete Slingshot, but Youtuber JorgSprave has come close with his newest creation, the Sawblade Slingshot. With the clever use of a dowel and a strip of rubber, he’s created a way to fire consistently rotating sawblades, which is mandatory for stabilization, as you’ll see in the video. I think it’s obvious who’s high on the ‘People We Want To Know In Case Of The Apocalypse’ list.

Gears Of War 3 World Premier Trailer

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

If you’re like me and missed the television premier of the newest Gears 3 trailer (Instead, I went and saw Kung Fu Panda 2 with the family; it was good, honest), here it is in all its glory. Explosive action plus War Pigs equals one Epic trailer. BTW, Epic is the game studio developing GoW3, so there’s a pun in that, maybe.

Gears of War 3 comes out September 20th, 2011 exclusively on Xbox 360.

Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D

Friday, May 27th, 2011

It’s obvious this trailer was meant to be viewed in 3D, but even without the depth-of-field, it still looks amazing. Snake Eater 3D is an enhanced port of the PS2 classic, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and will be featured at this year’s E3. Besides the series standard excellent gameplay and story set in Cold War Soviet Russia, camouflage played a huge part in the game, with the protagonist, Naked Snake, being able to change his look on the fly to better suit his current environment. The trailer itself is a little old, so I’d expect even better looking visuals when more information is released next month.

Firearm Negligence

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

A great collection of negligent discharges, improper equipment checks and uses, improper attire, and use of a firearm one is either incapable of using or unfamiliar with. In other words, witness an extremely amusing collection of firearms fail. Although not every clip in the collection can necessarily be described as “negligent”, they’re still funny as Hell. Enjoy!

Modern Warfare 3: F*** Yeah Edition – NSFW

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

It was only a matter of time before someone combined the MW3 trailer with “America, F*** Yeah” from “Team America: World Police”. There’s at least a little irony using this song given the overall plot and events of the Modern Warfare series, but I wouldn’t want to spoil the hilarity by pointing it out. Really, it’s good for a laugh.

Drunk Ewoks On The Today Show

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

An oldie but a goodie. Drunk Ewoks are always good for a laugh, but I think that Al Roker’s Han Solo hair steals the show, to be honest.

Carbine Crossbow

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

Youtuber WeaponCollector has designed a carbine crossbow* and is building it from simply constructed pieces of wood and metal. Just goes to show you how human ingenuity knows few bounds. And hey, Parts 2 and 3 are up already, so give them a look on his channel.

*Note: This video is for entertainment purposes only. I’m not responsible for any construction of the carbine crossbow or any ill-attempted William Tell-type scenarios that occur from use of said crossbow.

Duke Nudem – NSFW

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

Duke Nudem is potentially the greatest flash promotional game ever made for, well, anything. After asking for your age, you’re taken to a selection screen. You know you’re dealing with something special when you’re booed for hovering your pointer over ‘SFW’ and congratulated for hovering over ‘NSFW’. The game itself is simple: there are four girls, each controlled by the AI, and three different shooting gallery style games, all with different firearms. When you win a round over a particular girl, she takes off a piece of clothing. Win three rounds and you see her bare breasts. Lose, and Duke strips (thankfully) off screen. Sure, there are easier ways to see boobs on the internet, but the novelty of this game is way worth it. Oh, and a word of caution, the ‘SFW’ isn’t really that safe for work. It only covers nipples with cartoonish pixelated Duke heads. You have been warned.

Iron Sky

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

We’ve all seen Nazis before. But space Nazis? Eh, still not the most original concept. How about space Nazis living on the dark side of the moon with space zeppelins that launch Nazi attack saucers? Ok, now you’ve caught my attention. It’s a shame we have to wait until next year for what will undoubtedly be the greatest movie ever made.

Iron Sky releases on April 4th, 2012.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Delayed

Monday, May 16th, 2011

If you were hoping to get your hands on Ubisoft’s upcoming Ghost Recon title this year, think again. The publisher announced during its Q4 financial call that Future Soldier will be delayed until sometime between January and March of next year. Although I hate to see such a cool looking game get delayed, I will admit that with all the high-profile releases coming out this holiday season, it’s probably best we wait awhile for this to come out. Hell, I’d be so busy with MW3 and BF3 that I might have overlooked it, and I really want to play with all those cool future technologies, like the active cloak and predator-esque shoulder mounted rockets.

Bollywood: Radical Islam’s Biggest Threat?

Monday, May 16th, 2011

Check out this fascinating video on how Bollywood is a major threat to the ideals of radical Islam. Three billion people watch the films of Bollywood, which dramatize the tensions between modern and traditional teachings that young people in Arab and Muslim countries can appeal to. Plus, there’s footage of hot women dancing, which is always very welcome.

Hat tip goes to Travis Getz.

Flashbang Bra Holster

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

Despite what the name may lead you to believe, it’s actually a pistol holster, and as you can see from the video, it’s a pretty fast draw. An inexperienced shooter managed an average time of 1.5 seconds from draw to shoot using a .380. It’s also highly concealable, the holster covers everything except the pistol grip in a kydex shell, and it fits any conventional bra size. Anything that combines boobs and firearms in a positive manner is alright by me.

You can purchase one from Onedelta 89 on eBay.

Modern Warfare 3 Is Coming!

Saturday, May 14th, 2011

Hell, yes. I’m not expecting much realism, especially based on what I read from this leaked plot, but maybe MW3 can make up for Black Ops’ (mostly) anachronistic armory. Just give me that, Infinity Ward! And Sledgehammer games… And Raven Software… Screw the story, I’d just really like to see the AK-74m for once in a Modern Warfare game.

Expect plenty more info at E3 and the months leading up to November. I can guarantee it’ll be released then.

Laser Hacked Plasma Cutter From Dead Space 2

Sunday, May 8th, 2011

Those who purchased the collectors edition of Dead Space 2 quickly found out that the replica Plasma Cutter that was to be included in the package, was, to be blunt, a cheap piece of crap, completely incapable of staving off an actual Necromorph invasion. Youtuber kipkay remedied this, however, with his laser hack for the Plasma Cutter. He replaced the outer LEDs with high-powered purple and blue lasers, strong enough to pop balloons and light matches on fire. In addition, he also replaced the middle LED with a stronger blue one, for aesthetic appeal. Cool hack!

Necessary warning: CAUTION!! Lasers can be dangerous! Do not point them at any living thing! DO NOT look into the beam or the reflection of the beam. Do not shine them into the sky. Always wear laser goggles. In other words, Tactical Fanboy doesn’t take responsibility for any damage to persons or property resulting from the viewing of this video and doesn’t condone the construction of high-powered laser devices. It’s been posted for entertainment purposes only. Don’t use lasers unless you know absolutely what you are doing.

FireFall – PvP At Sunken Harbor

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011

The Stellar Ponies? Really? Well, semi-laughable team name aside (Blood Falcons, by contrast, is pretty bad-ass) they can do some serious damage. The footage is from the upcoming free-to-play online MMO shooter FireFall. Intentional or not, I’m getting some major Team Fortress 2 vibes, especially from that Medic class. The game doesn’t come out until Winter, but it’s already looking to be a worthwhile experience for the price [read: free].

Check out justin.tv/r5studios this Friday, May 6th, for a live broadcast of FireFall.

NMAWorldEdition Does Osama’s Assassination – NSFW

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

NMAWorldEdition’s take on the Assassination of Osama Bin Laden. It’s as horribly inaccurate as it is extremely entertaining, virgin pig rape and all. Gotta love that Taiwanese craziness 🙂

Thanks to PredatorBDU for the tip.

EDIT: It seems sometime after the article was written that the video was made private. I’m sure a quick internet search will yield some positive results for those interested parties who want to see the vid in question. It’s worth a look.

Ultimate 2011 Summer Movie Trailer

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

I figured you would all get a kick out of this super trailer showcasing all the big movies coming out this Summer. It looks like I’ll be spending a lot of time staring at the big screen in the coming months.

Call Of The Dead Reveal Trailer

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

I knew this map was going to be something special as soon as I heard ‘Funky Fanfare’ playing during the beginning along with the overall grindhouse-style of the trailer. Although Black Ops is no stranger to using real people as playable characters in Zombies [See ‘Five’] having such well-known horror personalities as Danny Trejo, Robert Englund, and “the godfather of all zombies” himself, George A. Romero (as a boss character) really sets a new standard of awesomeness. This is definitely a day-one purchase for me.

Escalation comes out May 3rd for XBOX Live.

Happy Easter From Tactical Fanboy!

For your own safety, don’t piss off the bunny.

Action Figure Therapy – Slightly NSFW

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

Move over Robot Chicken, Youtuber actionfiguretherapy has definitely raised the bar for toy-based hilarity. In this series, G.I. Joe knockoff Jungle Recon (and the occasional friend) answers those questions we’re all dying to know, like how a mustache helps in combat. These questions are answered through a combination of pure hilarity, crass language, and Magnum P.I. references. Also, this vid is a little on the NSFW side, although they can get a lot more rude (not to mention even more hilarious).

Thanks to reader Nathan for pointing out this amazing series to me.

Archer Season Finale – NSFW

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

Just a reminder than the season finale of Archer premiers tonight on FX at 10 PM, Eastern. If you haven’t been watching this show, you’ve been missing the best, if highly vulgar, animated spy comedy of all time. In other words: it’s mandatory viewing. Also, a brand new Duke Nukem Forever trailer will be premiering on TV, because who else but Duke could pair so well with Archer?

This is the uncensored version of the trailer, btw.

CoD: Black Ops Escalation Preview

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

Here’s a preview of the second Black Ops map pack, titled ‘Escalation’. Once again, they screw us on any footage from the zombies map. Doesn’t Treyarch know the only real reason people buy these packs is for that very purpose? In any event, the maps do look pretty cool, although they continue to do that whole alternate-history thing with some of the maps, like convoy, which features an American convoy in the States that was ambushed by Soviet forces. I can’t decide if that really makes any sense, even taking into account the game’s fiction.

Escalation comes out May 3rd, exclusively [for a period] for Xbox Live. The PS3 will most likely follow one month later, followed by who-knows-when for the PC. Wii owners are, as always, completely shafted.
