4.25.2001
Been a little busy lately with life matters, that's why this update has been delayed from the Nexus' typical "every 7 days" circuit. I've been getting used to a new job, plus there's stll a slight chill in the air from this Post-Winter warm-up... Although a few days ago the Mercury hit 17 centegrade! (20 is optimum soaker temp). Anyway, more noteably, my New Job is with Zellers! a place that sells Soakers, and I get a store discount! (Unfortunately I've reviewed or recently purchased the only things they have.... 1200, 310, 270, 215, SC500 and the 1998 SS 50). Always room for Doubles... After all, I like the 215 and 500 very much.. :P

So don't fret, my heart's still with Soakers and with the Nexus!

Anyway, Some news...

SuperSoaker.com Club Chat!
One of the Wacky dudes at the SS.com nuthouse graced an Aquatica club chat with his presence Monday night... Jerry, the Production Co-ordinator was on hand to answer questions and just have a good time...  He also said he'd stop by Thursday night, so be there!

SuperSoaker.com Reservoir, Volume 3, Issue 1!
This Friday is the projected release date for the first Wet Review on SS.com for 2001, and instead of being on the XP Backfire like previously noted on the Newswire, it's the 2001 Monster! I've had a chance to look over an advance copy of the issue, and the review looks very good... So remember! Friday!

Aquatica Newsletter still needs Articles.
Hoping to launch sometime in the Early half of May, the First issue of the 2001 Aquatica Newsletter needs more articles for the letter to launch. If you would like to contribute, contact me (SSW) at winkyweirdow@netscape.net, or Aquatechnology at iSoaker@iSoaker.com. Because Seeing is Believing! See Aquatica!

News at the Nex...
To add to the growing list of Blaster reviews coming soon, a 270 has recently been purchased for review... so it, 310 and the 215 (not to mention that XP85 I've got kicking around, plus whatever guns I get with my next paycheck), will be reviewed when the weather's warm... The reason why Reviews are being delayed until it's warm enough to use them is because I want the Real Battle feel for them, so I can deliever the Best possible information on each gun. Just one of the reasons why Nexus reviews have been some of the very best (not to mention long and detailed) online!

Anyway, that seems to be all for now... I might stop by later this week, I have a day off, and a few sections that have been aching for new content since, well, forever...

Hoppy Easter!

iSoaker.com Easter-Egg hunt!
Going on over at iSoaker.com, along with a slight cosmetic update, is an Easter Egg hunt...  Content updated pages, hidden throughout the site, contain an Easter Egg picture, tagged on the page... 5 in total... (Wonder how many of them are rotten... ewww... :P)

Welcome back to an Old Friend!
Water Weaponry, a site that's been around since 1997, and preumed dead since it was last updated - Spring 1999 - has come back to life with a Surprising return. Hopefully it will update enough to bring it from the past, into the future... :)

Meanwhile... At the Nex Cave...
Over here, added a little more information to the XP310 page, including some measurements... A full Detailed Benchmark on it and the 215 will come when the spring heats up...

That's all...  Time for a Creme Egg... mmm... bwok bwok

Aquatica Newsletter Prepares to Restart; Needs Reporters...
Aquatica Newsletter, the only Soaker Newsletter online at the moment, is planning to restart for it's 2001 season. But it needs the help of Soaker Fans willing to support the Newsletter. We Need Articles, and for Articles, we need Reporters.
To be a Reporter, all you need to do is submit an article, doesn't have to be for every newsletter (2-4 wks), just every so often.
Also, you don't need to be a reporter to submit...

All you need for an Article is 2-3 Lines, all the way up to 2-3 paragraphs, on anything Soaker Related. So it could be about anything, you favorite blaster, your super soaker website, a new gun finding, a war story,  or the best blaster that's come out in the last year... Even an ongoing newsletter-to-newsletter story, 1 episode per letter, (Soaker Wars: Return of the 1500), or something.

To sign up, contact me (SSW) at winkyweirdow@netscape.net, or Aquatechnology at iSoaker@iSoaker.com.
 

Anyway, of you want to just wait for the next letter to come out, sign up here... :)

Cold in some places, Soakers are flying in others... Right now, it's still cold out here, a little too chilly to be shooting off CPSs... but with any luck, that will change within the next few weeks...The NHL has gone into the Stanley Cup playoffs, The Boys of Winter are Finishing off their year, while the Boys of Summer are in full swing! (Hah! Baseball, Swing, Get it? nevermind...) It's a sure sign that the Cold Season is phasing into the Warm... Summer is just beginning... =)

So if you've got the Weather, Grab your Gun! Soak a Squirrel if you have to...

And without further soliliquous delayment... Here's the News!

Super Soaker RPG Reactivated!
Water War's old Super Soaker Role Playing Game, has been re-encarnated over at ssroleplaying.cjb.net, with the concent of Water War, Now known as Hydrolysis. For those who don't know, The SS-RPG has been an Internet based Role Playing Game that was Active from 1998 to 2000. Aqua-Nexus and Aquatica welcome the Game back to the Living world...  I hear they need players over there, so check it out!

Aquatica Welcomes 2 new Sites into the Webring...
SS-RPG, as listed above, and Hydrolysis, become the latest additions to the Swelling Aquatica Webring. It's kinda neat to think, Hydrolysis is Co-Run by the old Super Soaker Webring founder, Softrazor. Anyway, Welcome Aboard Aquatica!
 

Meanwhile, Down on the Nex...
Anyway, not much is new here, Opened up a Little Archive over at the Nexus' Tripod Server... Including an Archive of Several old versions of the Nexus, and a Favorite Introduction Library of old Intros from the Nexus...
Also new, I updated the Voting Polls page once again, Added 4 more options to the "Best Super Soaker Ever!" question (Stats were saved, no need to revote :) ), and added a brand new poll, "Best New Soaker for 2001?"...  Aqua-Nexus now has more polls active than have ever been hosted prior to 2001...

Anyway, That seems to be everything for now...

Remember...

Pump it up!
...Get Ready...

Happy Birthday Aqua-Nexus!
April 1st, 1999... Just after midnight in the early hours of the Morning... The day was dawning...
And now, 2 years later... The Aqua-Nexus is still here... and this is a New Dawn.
Welcome to Aqua-Nexus v3.0!
With 2 years gone by, Aqua-Nexus celebrates with the best of available resources... The Site structure has been revamped to include an all new Flash Interface, including a built from scratch Main Menu...
The Bulk of the update is not limited to the Flash Logo's and menus. The Information Station has been redone to be simplified, and C-WSL information has been removed from it to be placed on the CWSL Website (Redesign for the CWSL Fight Club for the Aquatica Elite Legions), coming soon. The "Other Super Soakers" page has been moved to the All new Super Soaker Review section's Blaster Archive menu... seems a little more relavent there.

So, as of now, the Nexus-3 Site Structure is now in place... as said in the 3/10/2001 posting on the Nexus Newswire, the rest of Nexus-3 will come between now and Mid-May/Summer... In the form that everybody wants most... Content... That means More-Better Reviews, More Tactics, and that Repair section everybodys been waiting for...

Until Then...
-=Take NO Prisoners!!=-

And now, the News...

Aqua-Zone v2.7 Launched
The New Aqua-Zone was launched on March 29th, and boasts a cleaner, more refined layout... While still harbouring that nasty Netscape v4.x broswer problem, Aqua-Zone looks much better than before... Although, I suggest breaking out IE 5.x before visiting... :)
 

And that's the News!
