Ok chaps and chapesses reading the SP Nerve thread in the Tech forum started my brain ticking.
I know it has been often discussed re the point of diminishing returns on a marker, but when and how often do you (personally) decide to upgrade your marker, and what if any performance leap would you expect to gain? The Nerve and new Shocker, sure look the bizness (subjective opinion), but what sort of leap are you going to get over an I-framed Impy???? Sure the Nerve looks much more bling, but how in the name of Zeus's Butt hole are you gonna get a huge performance increase over your already Pimped to the max, full freak kitt'ed, Halo'd, Max-flo'd yadda yadda yadda'd (that's an expression not a performance upgrade) marker???
Maybe it's me but it seems that every time a new marker comes onto the scene it's hailed as the second coming, I mean could we really shoot the current breed of top end markers any quicker????? Plus I always thought accuracy was due to Paint to barrel match sooooo............
I've been guilty of whoring myself to bling bling markers, and as such suffered financially and to some extent in my game. I'd be interested in peoples thoughts re this, and any experiences. Every time I see a new marker, I'm like gimme gimme gimme so I'm sorely tempted to upgrade again, but this time I going to force myself to wait (well only until they bring out the trigger less thought powered e-blade or space based son of Star Wars orbital bombardment Angel)
I've also noticed that markers become unfashionable quicker than you can say "Beck's has got a new hair cut". I mean at the moment you can only just about give Ir3's away. I mean Jesus the thing's like last years bloody Louis Vuiton Handbag, grrrrrrrrr...........
Oh, sorry Smartparts was just using the Nerve as an example. Feel free to post reasons why I should be buying one, I'm an easy sell!
So people whose getting a new fangled marker and why???
