			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember that awesome <a title="Steampunk Wood “Big Daddy” Gun Fires NERF Darts" href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/09/27/steampunk-wood-nerf-gun/">Big Daddy NERF gun</a> I told you about last week? Well since that gun has long-since been snatched up by some lucky buyer, the guy who made it is back with another awesome wooden weapon.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-69158" title="big_bertha_wooden_gun_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/big_bertha_wooden_gun_1.jpg" alt="big bertha wooden gun 1" width="600" height="289" /></p>
<p><span id="more-69157"></span>This time, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/people/faustus70">faustus70</a> has outed Big Bertha. Just like her brother, Bertha is crafted from wood from an old chair, but this one has more of a Tommy gun sort of look compared to Big Daddy. And that&#8217;s no coincidence. Bertha got her start as a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F5YYMU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=theawes-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369&amp;creativeASIN=B000F5YYMU">Ruff Stuff Air Blaster Tommy 20</a>. Of course, she&#8217;s totally unrecognizable compared to her humble plastic beginnings &#8211; but no less (fake) lethal.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-69159" title="big_bertha_wooden_gun_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/big_bertha_wooden_gun_2.jpg" alt="big bertha wooden gun 2" width="600" height="476" /></p>
<p>The firing mechanism under her no-nonsense wooden and metal riveted exterior is able to fire up to 20 of those little suction-cup darts in under 40 seconds, perfect for shooting at smooth surfaces. The leather grip and shoulder pad are also nice touches.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-69161" title="big_bertha_wooden_gun_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/big_bertha_wooden_gun_3.jpg" alt="big bertha wooden gun 3" width="600" height="265" /><br />
If you missed out on Big Daddy, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/83061537/steampunk-big-bertha">head on over to Etsy</a> and plunk down $380 (USD) of your hard-earned scratch for his bad-ass sister before she gets snatched up. You might just be able to wield Big Bertha in time for Halloween.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This new add-on kit from PEGA turns your stock Wiimote controller into a giant dart.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-13165 aligncenter" title="wii_darts_pega_controller" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/wii_darts_pega_controller.jpg" alt="wii darts pega controller" width="520" height="719" /></p>
<p>Designed specifically for games like <em>PDC World Championship Darts</em>, this kit adds a soft arrow tip and feather-shaped tail to your Wii controller. At that size, it looks much more like a lawn dart than something you&#8217;d throw for a game of 301 or 501 at your local pub. Ahh, remember lawn darts&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="520" height="400" data="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:cms:item:comedycentral.com:86271" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="flashvars" value="autoPlay=false" /><param name="src" value="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:cms:item:comedycentral.com:86271" /><param name="wmode" value="window" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>Frankly, I don&#8217;t need yet another reason to accidentally throw my Wiimote through through my flat-screen &#8211; again. But if you absolutely must have one of these, you can find them over at <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.23832">DealExtreme</a> for $9.54 (USD).</p>
