Can you believe we are mere days (heck, hours, really) away from the launch of the Nintendo Switch? I don't know about you, but I already have my Switch ID registered (McMurphy78), games pre-ordered, & will be picking up my reserved Switch console at a midnight launch event. If you are like me...

The countdown to the release of Mario Kart 8 is finally just around the corner, and the Shellslingers group---the longest running Mario Kart clan exclusively for parent and hard working adult gamers---is already keeping busy with providing several features specifically geared towards the Wii U...

[Image created by GS*Dunkaroo.] May 20th. The end of Wii online servers for all games. That's it. Like a zombie apocalypse, it is the end of days for our Wii faction. All our Friend Code lists will be closed. No more playing online together. That is a significant milestone for us. Back in 2008...

You turned in your time sheet and snuck out of the office early. That can only mean one thing... ...IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!! I don't know about the rest of you, but I am sure happy to be able to kick back and relax. With the Shellslingers, it also means something else. FROSTY PINTS! Crack open...

Time flies when you are having fun. We have all heard that old saying, right? Sometimes, the truth hits home in unexpected ways. I have known some of the Gunslingers and have had enduring friendships with them for years. I have known them as they graduated college. When they tied the knot with...

As previously mentioned, the Gunslingers clan got together and, throughout the entire month of January, cast our collective votes on what were our favorite gaming experiences in 2013. This is the fifth year for this tradition, and everyone is welcome to read the official results! A sincere...

Gunslingers Newsletter, Week of Jan. 30th, 2014 It has been awhile since we have shared a newsletter-style update in this recruiting thread. Let's change that! This installment will focus on highlights ripped directly from our Gunslinger Gazette, the blog where we publish community-minded...

The Wii U version of Call of Duty: Ghosts is finally out! Whoa-hoo! If you are a fellow Nintendo fan old enough to either cut his/her first-person-playing teeth on the N64's Goldeneye or NES's Operation Wolf, join the Wii U Gunslingers! The Gunslingers clan is the largest and most active...

There are some you reading our recruiting thread for the first time and wonder, "'Clan for Adults?' What does that mean? Will their members be around my own age?" Those are good questions. There are certainly different ways to view a claim that a gaming group is mature or for older gamers. So...

I have some exciting Gunslingers updates to share with the rest of you! Yes, that does mean there will be a little rambling involved, but, hey, you are reading messages by a group for older gamers. We like to ramble and tell tales of blowing on cartridges that you have already heard a thousand...

Some incredible milestones occurred lately, Gunslingers, and we all should be proud of them! First, the overall Gunslingers clan is officially over 7,000 registered members strong! The days of believing that gaming is just for kids and the overtly competitive are long, long gone. Second, we...

There has a been a tradition at the Gunslingers that have been visited for some time. I mean, of course, of New Member Shout-Outs. From time to time, it is important to let all our new members, which GS receives on a daily basis, know that we appreciate their willingness to sign up with the...

Current and Future Gunslingers! I know it has been some time since this thread has gotten attention, but that is because I am in a middle of a big move. The good news is that the Gunslingers clan is just as active as ever. Why? Well, because our entire group is composed of folks who juggle real...

By sheer coincidence two Gunslinger members have put together separate "flashback" events for this coming weekend. There are plenty of fond memories found amongst the Mario Kart Wii and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (Reflex) days, so let's make it official! Whether you have been with GS since...

I just wanted to let all the fellow Nintendo fans out there know that the Gunslingers clan has just published a special edition episode of our podcast dedicated exclusively to everything Nintendo: past, present, and future! It features five old school Shellslingers: GS*Korchie...

It happened again. Another year passed with the Gunslingers clan still in operation. Another year passed with a record amount of new faces joining what was once humble posse of a dirty dozen. Another year passed with all of us traveling together to new games for new experiences. Another year...

I know what you are thinking. You read the phrase "...clan for adults" in the title of this topic, but what does that mean? How are you supposed to know if we are the gaming group for you? Let's throw out some pop cultural references and see if they seem familiar. If you not only remember the...

I am a left handed gamer, as well. The issue for me came when playing the first No More Heroes game. The wrestling moves became a real hurdle since I had to do the opposite of what was on screen in a short, timed sequence.
