Your Prime Source of Super Soaker Information
News Archive
The "Tech Center" can be found on the Information Station. It features information sectors devoted to the Mechanics of Aquatica Technology, including 4 Sections of Information, The Repair Center, Modifications, Mechanics and Painting Tips. So far, only the Mechanics page (A destcripions page about different Soaker technologies) is active, but hopefully soon the rest will be up.
Not too much for News, but the Face of Aquatechnology has changed a little... That is to say, the Main page has been modified. Now you only need go as far as loading the First page to see what's new. The old What's new page has been changed to "Info" which is mostly information about the site. Also added is a Repair Guide, which can be found on
That's the news for today.
SuperSoaker.Com has unfurled the first Contest of the Season. Go to the Reservoir and Click on the Contest image and fill out the form. This Month's Prize? A Brand Spanking New CPS2700!! (Only Ages 14yrs or older may enter) Go there for more details...
Aquatechnology hasn't been Quiet over the last few days, it has added and rearranged a few things here and there... The rearrangement includes modifications done to the "What's New" Section, adding details on Submitting reviews, stories, whatever to the site. Other updates include the Addition of a SuperCharger Usage guide to the Tips/Tactics section, and editing of Flash Files across the site. Go There For More...
Things at the Nexus haven't
been Quiet either. Along with a redesigned Flash Logo, and a eye-candied
up menu bar, The Nexus has added it's 13th War Story to the War Stories
section (on the Information Station.).
Perhaps this is the year The Nexus will have More War Stories than Water
Weapons of Mass Destruction!
And Finally, Water
War has closed off POW#13 with a Solved POW and all remaining submissions
for the POW, Including one Fashioned by the Nexus' Own Super Soaker Warrior...
All I can really say about his "Solved" Solution is that it is more flawed
than the Solution SSW posted for POW#13. It can be easily assumed that
he puts down other people submissions, no matter how effective or worthy
they are, for one reason and one reason only, He never intended to let
anyone win. Notice how nobody has ever Successfully solved any of his POWs?
It has become clear that what we first gathered from Tactician's
E-Mail last August Blasting the Nexus that Tacky is just a poor lost
soul that thinks he's better than everyone else... I guess we really should
have noticed that he's a lost soul by simply reading his "World War" Like
depiction's of Super Soaker battles... I just don't see so many people
fighting so many battles, thinking that the Meaning of Life and Death is
REAL. Especially with his weapons Choices. Who in their right mind takes
an XP70 into a battle that big Involving
CPSs? It's good to be Crazy, but Man... And Notice how a good deal
of his battles use varying numbers of Classic
25 Sidearms? I wouldn't be caught Dead with one. (A Friend of mine
used to have one, I know what they're like.)
And the Final Clue that
Tactician is a Lost Soul wishing for older days is by simply looking at
his page, who bases a page completely on a POW Lineup hardly anybody posts
to? At least when His Super Soaker RPG and Links sections were up there,
there was a reason to visit. Now, all you get is an Annoying Midi, and
POWs that no one could ever solve.
Go
to his page and tell him what you think...
That's the News at this Hour... Tune in at 11pm for more... (Or not...)
So todays news on Nexus Updates
is: Face Lift.
Also, Super Soaker Fanatic
"Fabrizio-X" has submitted a Commentary on the Virtues of the XP90...
Don't laugh, go see what he says.
And without further delay, here's the News From Around the Soaker World.
Aquatechnology added a review to the much feared Monster XL (Lucky $@^%# got one...). Aquatechnology has also added an article on "Water Properties" to the Tips and Tactics section. (Under Weaponry tips.)
Water Weapon Revolution is also in the news, a few days ago it added a basic review of the Monster (not the XL) until one can be obtained for review.
Also, it has become quite
apparent that Traffic is back up around the Super Soaker Sites Online,
it is quickly becoming apparent that, yes, The Season is back in motion.
As such, I cannot help but wonder which sites will come back online.
A few sites have been Moderately
to Highly active over the course of the Off-Season and are as follows...
(As well as their last update dates)
Aqua-Nexus (of course)
Aquatechnology
(Updated April 18th)
Mikah's
SS Page (Updated March 31st)
MiB
(Updated February 8th)
Water
War (Updated April 15th)
Liquid
Warfare (Updated March 15th)
HydroPhiles
(Updated - unknown date)
And two new sites which
have popped up recently...
Water
Weapon Revolution (Updated April 17th)
The
Omega Aquilae Workshop (Erected April 15th)
These sites are the only
ones, of dozens of sites out there, that are currently active sites. Which
leaves the rest of the World Wide Web's Super Soaker Sites dead and decaying.
And although many sites will not be back...Which one's will?
We'll have to wait and see...
You can trust the Nexus Newswire to inform you as soon as one is found...
That's All!
Plenty of sites have been active this past weekend, lets see what's up...
Aquatechnology has added range reports for all reviewed XPs, CPSs, and SuperChargers this weekend. On the Aquatica Yahoo Club, Aquatech has mentioned that the findings may be a bit off due to breezy conditions.
Water Weapon Revolution has written up and posted a review or the much revered Monster XL and has added it to it's own review section. (This is just a basic review however, as the site didn't have a Monster XL Available)
The Nexus has also added a new War Story... If you have a War Story of your own, send her in! Fill in the War Story Form!
Thats The News!
Also, A Review of the XP105 has been added to the XP105 Review page... The Review was Submitted by "Tha Boy Wonder" AKA: Freak on a Leesh (who also wrote the CPS3000 Benchmark as well)
Just to make things clear,
The Nexus will Accept and Post Reviews sent in by mail. They will be
posted on the gun pages as "Submitted Reviews" if the review is fit to
post (ie:No Cussing, Bad Jokes, Dirty references, etc).
So if you like your gun,
and there's no review on the Nexus, feel free to submit a review of your
own! Send them to the Nexus at winkyweirdow@netscape.net...
Also, Aquatechnology has added Two World Reviews today, Both on the XP105... (What's with the 105 lately?)
That's the News!
Aquatechnology
has added a Super Soaker banner for EBWorld
on it's main page... As some of you may know, EBWorld.com
is an online store on which you can buy Super Soakers online.. If you didn't
know, you do now... (Unfortunately, EBWorld.com doesn't ship SuperSoakers
to Canadian Addresses yet, but does ship to American Addresses.) Aquatechnology
has also added a World Review for the Monster (The Green one, not the M-XL),
it can be found on the Monster's review page in the Armory.
Check it out on Aquatechnology.
Also Check out EBWorld
Super Soaker Lineup...
Also, the Nexus's webpage Frame works have been slightly redesigned to allow for accurate counter readings...
Thats the News!
A new site has popped up Called "Water Weapon Revolution". For those of you who visit alot of Super Soaker websites, you may have come across a dead site labeled "Super Soaker Revolution". It appears that that has been resurrected this spring with a new Name. The Site features Super Soaker Reviews (With Detailed Reports on tested guns.. hmm..) and Links so far, with hopes of more things (Like News and possibly entry into the Aquatica Webring) to come. A Whole hearted "Good Luck" and "Welcome Back" from the Nexus!
In other news (with the Addition of Water Weapon Revolution to the Links page) Aqua-Nexus' Aquatica Partner Aquatechnology has removed the Super Soaker Webring panel from it's main page. It also has added a Super Soaker Concept (which was submitted by Email) of adding a Rubber Balloon into the pressure tank of an XP110 to create a CPS-like effect. Reportedly, it doesn't create a very constant blast, but allows for Firing upside down... At this point I'll direct your attention to the 5/29/1999 submission on the Nexus Newswire. (I never thought about trying it on an XP.. Hmm..)
And that's news to me...
Water
War has made a statement on its page, challenging POW (Problem Of the
Week) solvers out there to send submissions in on the most popular POW,
#13, before he Solves it himself and Closes down POW#13 on April 21st..
In the statement it says
"..I could shoot them down faster than you're thinking them up. I want
something original... ...Think you can top mine?"
The attitude in the message,
though not surprising, has called a submission from Yours Truly, Aqua-Nexus
webmaster, Nicholas Lowe. We'll have to wait and see how it turns out...
(As some of you may recall,
in August 1999 the Nexus was given a crude opinionated review from Water
War's Tactician (In a reply to a link request..) yeah, I still have the
email, read it here.)
Other than that, Quiet days... The life in April limbo, the Nexus between Cold and Warmer weather..
Other than that, Quiet Day online...
What a day..
The C-WSL is no longer fighting
with just Classics and XPs, The Super Soaker Webring and Soaked! Newsletters
have been replaced by the Aquatica organization, and most of all..
One of the small upstart
pages on the internet last spring has grown to become the very page you
see before you.
Today also brings with it
the start of a new Month. The Month where everything gets warmer. The Month
when the Sun starts to shine. The Month where the Grass turns green once
again and the Tulips show us their beautiful colors.
The month where for a few
hours every so often we forget who we are, our friends are, and remember
who are allies are when we soak each others brains out.
As such, I renew my promise to the Newswire... I cannot promise every day, or every news event to bring a report, but I can promise to bring one at least once a week...
In other news... Some
updates around the Nexus... Some various things here and there... Including
the re-addition of the Midi!!
"Midi? I don't hear any
midi...."
I know... :) Look
up by the counter to the left and click "Play
Music"... Hear it now?
Don't like that midi? Click
"Off" and Click "Play
Music" again...
Don't like any Midis? Don't
click on "Play Music" then...
Simple... So don't
worry about coming here late at night only to run to the volume controls
or throw your speakers out the window... Because The Nexus won't bug you...
But if you want some musical harmony, the Midi Jukebox has now been installed!
Other things added, Whipped
up some Flash images for the 2000 CPS Reviews. As you may or may not know,
The Older CPSs have had Flash images since the November 11th, 1999 Major
Update. Now the CPS set is complete. See them under "CPS"
in the Super Soaker Reviews section.
Also, the Menus on the Information
Station have been redone. Tips and Tactics
have been moved back onto the main menu from their previous location on
General
Information, and Text has been made larger.
And to add more to this
Big day, I have recently acquired an XP 220, a 2000 XP... So far I find
the gun Impressive..
In News From Around the Soaker World, a new Feature has appeared on Aquatechnology. The Aquatechnology Forum, a Message Board, has been added to Soaker World... Looks like another way to comunicate this summer. (Also note, There is a Message Board in the Nexus's Interactive Section, and Two Great Yahoo Club Boards at http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/aquatica and http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/miballiance.. Looks like the Super Soaker Online Community will never fall apart..)
Well, quite the update...
Happy Soaking!
