34 Months after it's creation, the Next Step in Aquatica's Evolution has Come.
...for the last 4 months, since Aquatica was forced to Migrate from our long-time home on the Aquatica Yahoo Club, we've been living large over at the Aquatica EZ Board. With only a short time at the EZ Board, Aquatica has raked in 80+ members, with nearly 4000 posts.

Now, our permanent home is ready.

The Official Aquatica Webforum, the Aquatica IKONBOARD!!

A detailed benchmark review has been posted for the CPS 1-3-5!
It has also recieved the worst rating ever given to a blaster on the Nexus. (a personal rating of 2.0 (out of 5)). I could say I had some fun with this review, but I don't like trashing guns I don't like  too much. Then again, this is the 1-3-5 we're dealing with. You can see the benchmark by going to the Super Soaker Reviews section or by going here. :)

There, I finally updated the Intro...
Happy now? :P

Happy IndependanceDay (And Happy Belated Canada Day Too...)

Well... my apologies to not having at least a "Hello" update posted any sooner, but my Hiatus from the Soaker World is not without good reason. I needed the last few weeks for study and work on the Final term of the Course I've been taking at the "Computer Training Institute" here in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada... I am pleased to say that I have completed the Course and have Graduated with the Highest Mark in my class... I even have a nice Pewter Desk Pen-set and an Award Certificate stating my Victory. :)

But with that aside... The last few weeks have been, well, to state it simply, Summer didn't decide to show up until last week. It was Cold all May and June - first time I've ever seen it go like this. As such, nothing Soaker-ish sparked between Classmates and now we've all gone our seperate ways. And I haven't had a single Soaker battle all year... Unless you count the Cold-battle I had about a month ago when a Friend came at me with a Loaded MXL and I left him out in the cold with a 20x CPS2500 Blast to the cro... Legs. yes, legs.

Well, though things are slow, I've got some more time now and, even though it's already July, I'll hopefully have some more reviews soon... Including that Long Awaited CPS2100 Review... Also, I have a Max-D 2000, Max-D 3000, and a CPS 1-3-5 (which I named "Cow") waiting to be done.

Well, I'll have more later... maybe even later today - who knows. :)
