- Today I'm going to show you inside my Nerf fortress,
and if that's not enough for you.
I'm going to show you inside my Nerf collection, which is
insane, and to kick us off in the right spirit here,
where going to go have some fun with this.
You guys down for a dart competition?
- Oh Yeah.
- I'm going to have you guys catch as many as possible.
- What do we win?
- Uh, five dollars. Winner gets five bucks.
(Nerf shooting)
- I got one, two.
- Five.
- Who has the most?
- What.
- I think you were kind of cheating, I don't know.
Comment below if you guys think that's cheating.
I'll give it to you, but I think that was cheating.
(cha-ching) This thing is awesome.
- [Tall Man] It's a scam.
- So, to explain to you why there's an amazing Nerf fortress
in this studio right now, I've got to go back
about six months to give you the full history.
Wait. Okay now, from the beginning.
(energetic music)
It all started when I missed a flight to San Francisco.
So now I had a full free day in my schedule,
and I decided, "lets surprise the team with a Nerf battle."
(rattling cart) This cart is wobbly.
(Boxes hitting cart)
So I went to the store and I bought an entire
boatload of Nerf blasters, actually it was a cart load.
When I got back to the studio,
the team opened the car and they were like
- [Team] "Whoa! No way, Bro, its so much."
- You have to load those up.
- Dude, what?
- And were going to get ready for a Nerf battle.
So we preceded to have a very epic battle,
and when we were done, we were like, "that was really fun."
That was the moment things started to
snowball out of control, because pretty soon
we were talking about getting one shipping container.
(fast-paced music)
Then we were talking about a second shipping container.
And then pretty soon we had a forty foot
container added on top of that.
We did a couple months of construction, painting, welding.
We installed them in the studio,
and that leads us to here.
So, now, I want to give you guys. (drum roll)
The grand tour. (whoosh)
(light clicking on)
(upbeat music)
I am so excited to show you around, because its amazing.
This is a living space area here,
but let me show you my office.
So, this is my office space. We literally moved it all in,
yesterday so I need a chair still, I need
a keyboard and mouse for my computer,
I don't know where that went.
(door latch clinking)
So my office is kind of like a secret bunker,
Where you know if you're playing a game.
President's bunker, you got to get in here.
You got to go fast, you got to get
the screen monitors for security.
You've got these little extra windows.
Uh, a little bit more too.
But, you got these extra windows you can blast out of.
Open it up in an emergency.
But let's say "oh no, someones coming over here."
(door slams) You got to shut that,
but you got to escape through the top, in the hatch.
(Upbeat music)
And that brings us to the crows nest.
On either side of the crows nest are two opposing balconies.
One is attached to a spiral staircase.
The other has a ladder and a rock wall,
with kind of an army net on it.
Behind me is a ladder with a latch on top,
that actually goes to a third story
for even better vantage points.
This is where you come out of.
This is the vantage point you get to see.
Like I said, If you're afraid of heights,
Don't come up here.
I am afraid of heights, so going back down.
Now the crows nest is attached to the deck that I'm on here.
And we noticed when people were up here,
they were always crawling around this way here,
which was very dangerous, obviously cause there's an
eight foot drop to a concrete floor.
So, we added this little army net here,
so now if you fall its kinda like,
"Ah, I'm good." (grunting)
But let me go back into the crows nest here and show you
my second favorite feature.
Here it is guys, Its a fire man's pole,
and were going down to my favorite spot, armory. (screech)
All right, this is the vault.
Lets get a little wider.
So, (screeching shoes) (grunting)
This room is probably heaven to you,
if you are a fan of Nerf like I am.
The amount of Blaster,
it's Blasters, on Blasters on Blasters in here.
In the Nerf world you have two types of Blasters,
you've got dart Blasters which are
the long little foam pieces and then you have
the rounds which are the yellow circular ones.
This modulus has one of my favorite sounds,
listen to it. (Nerf gun loading) oh.
(Nerf firing and hitting wall) Whoa.
That takes me back to the Rival wall.
Let me show you some of those.
These are Rivals here. I think this is my favorite brand of
Nerf when it comes to the design
and how well that they blast.
You may be looking at this wall and going like
"why are you going for the smallest one on the wall?"
But this is actually really effective,
it's great during a little battle.
So, you gonna cock it back there and then
load the round, and you can put five rounds in this model.
Uh, let me show you how far this goes, let's move down.
(gun firing) (dart hitting wall and bouncing back)
Woo. (gun loading) That was lucky,
let me see if I can do that again.
(gun loading) (dart hitting wall and bouncing back)
Oh Snap. Third times a charm, huh?
(gun firing at wall) lame.
(Upbeat music)
They are a ton of cool features to this fort.
You've got giant crates of Nerf, boxes of mags, rounds,
modulus pieces, a rock wall, but my favorite feature by far,
that was installed just a couple weeks ago is above me.
Let me show you the best installation we added.
(loud zipping)
Woo.
That is the best part.
Now what's really cool, is I'm actually partnering with Nerf
to create their new web series
and I'll share links with you guys soon when that's ready.
But, in the meantime,
I'd love you guys to comment down below
your favorite Nerf Blaster, as well as,
comment if you would like to come join us
at the studio in the future to play a Nerf battle here.
I don't have details yet, but I'll keep you updated.
In the meantime, I'm gonna go play with this.
Bye guys.
(darts firing) (energetic music)
Whoa!
