New Blog needs new things

So now that Foam Nation has been officially launched, it's time to start working towards accomplishing some of the goals we laid out. The first order of business for me is to start making some in depth mod guides in written form. Although I have a few specific guides planned, it's time for some questions.
Are there any blasters you guys want written (or video) guides of specifically. The more recent and common the blaster the better, but if there is something a lot of people really want to see, we can work on finding one.

I'd also like to know if there are any things that you guys would like to see on the site itself. I know chats are popular, and there are probably more things that I don't yet know about.

In either case, let me know what you guys want to see in the future.

    1. I actually have all the parts I need except the Quadshot, but I already have two perfectly functioning ones. If I ever make another for a replacement or a commission, I'll make a write-up on it.

  4. I'd say the Longstrike is a good start.

    I've been considering buying one, but have been holding out until I decide if it's worth it mod-wise, and to see if there'll be an elite-series longstrike.

  5. I think a very comprehensive dart tag hyperfire mod guide would be very nice. There arent a lot of guides on hyperfires out there. With lots of pictures!

  8. While I'm thinking about it, I have one more question for you guys. Do you prefer video or text and picture based guides?

    2. Videos to help show how things move around pieces but pictures are also nice since pausing videos doesn't always give the nicest images

  9. I once tried to mod my proton. It failed. When I put it back together it worked fine except I have to slap the tray back into place because the tray return thing doesn't really work. I wanna see a mod guide so I can take it apart, fix that problem and make the proton better!

  10. I like forums as much as chat boxes, which is what most everyone wants.
    I think it would be easier for everyone to talk about mods if there was a forum add-on that others could post on.
    While a blog is good, it is only your posts beyond our comments which no one really reads comments.
    While a forum is more organized and easier to comunmicate considering a chatbox would be kind of chaotic if this blog is going to be as popular as you want it to be.
    I would also suggest making several rooms in the chat box to help slow it down otherwise the chat would be overflowed and spammed and would end up just not being fun.
    Anyways good luck!!! and I hope to see some awesome mod reviews and learn some new stuff.

  11. i personally like pictures and text but thats just me....

  12. I think the guides should be text but have a video to accompany it. One thing I think you guys should do, so as to make your guides applicable to the whole community is to try and use metric and imperial measurements as well as, if possible, listing potential substitutes for those who do not reside in the U.S.A. I'd be willing to help with this if needed.

    Also, I'd love to see a brassed Spectre and/or Maverick.

  15. Hey i would like to see a solid, in depth walkthrough on how to mod the @#!*% out of a longstrike haha. I bought it the other day and it really sucks.

    Thanks

  16. I'd like to see a detailed explanation of what all the locks do in individual blasters, I've been searching but I can't find a clear answer.

  17. Hey guys, I really would like to contribute some things in the future. Specifically being the Homemades that I build. Have fun getting off of the ground, I will be in the reserves when you are ready for me. <3

  19. Hey drac. I know you said u never wanted to do one on this blaster, but I just got a deploy for free and I was wondering if u can do a guide on that but if not it's fine.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Could you please do a magstrike? Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  21. drac's videos have always been very comprehensive. i would like to see a stampede guide in text form though...

    ReplyDelete
  22. Drac and Mired, first things first. Great site I look forward to seeing more from you two.

    Secondly, Darc is there any chance we will get a more detailed (written up) mod guide for your Rayven rewire? I would like to do it, but I don't know the first thing to do. Your video was good, but I think a write up would supplement the video.

    Thanks!

  23. I wouldn't mind seeing new mods for some of the less common blasters like the Stormfire and such. Only reason being is cause there are plenty of mods for raiders, recons, at, mavericks, etc. I'm not saying don't do them eventually but those can be done quickly.

    On a side note could we get like a list of blasters down the side that link us straight to the mod guides/reviews? and like a search bar [sorry if they are there and I'm just blind]

  24. Can you guys do a detailed mod on the maverick and nitefinder or nite-mav.
