It's been a while.

Here we go. I finally have something worth posting again. Over at 68cal they have a tutorial about dying your hopper shell. Something I've done for myself and others. I wish I had this article before.

>As with anything in our social culture, style has always been a consideration during design and purchase of a product. Whether if a player prefers a Tippmann scenario A5, an intricately milled Intimidator, or a sculpted DM5, marker choice has always been influenced by budget, performance, handling, and last but not least, aesthetics. Compared to markers, hopper shape and color selection is more limited.

2004-10-06T06:51:00.000-07:00

Okay I’m behind the ball with my opinions here, but someone else said it first and better than I could. Check out the last two posts over at paintballconsumer.com

Oh. What do I think of 68cal’s pornographic ads in magazines? I think that most of these people in paintball are Christian right, Bush voting, conservative morons. I hate them.

Paintball on TV?

2004-10-01T15:17:00.000-07:00

PB2Extreme on SpikeTV

Episode One features great final round action from the Draxxus International Amateur Open, as well as coverage of the Blues Brother Ride Again scenario game held at the same event. Other great segments in this first episode include Infamous captain Chris LaSoya showing you how to walk tournament airball fields, tech guru Chris Spena teaching the basics of blowback markers, the making of the print version of Paintball 2Xtremes, and much more.

Don't miss it.

You can't really see anything unless you look close. Even so this isn't exactly safe for the kids.

No more about 888,

2004-09-16T17:37:00.000-07:00

I’ve been compiling some good links for the sidebar over there. The online paintball scene is good if you’re interested in the basics. The up to the minute news sites mostly cover lame press releases, which I’m trying to stay away from. Rumors are for fanboys so there out. Mostly I’m looking for game footage and other video.

We unearthed tape that hadn't made it into a show in the 2000 season, so now it's a PigTV retro episode of the 2000 Nashville open 10 man tournament. Check out the old-school pro paintball action.

The latest big break is the soon to be released Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball.

I like forceofnature’s write up. Flagpull and paintball.com have similar coverage. I couldn’t find anything on a mainstream gaming site so that shows you what they think about it. Anyway I did find this interesting. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War

Only try the game if you’re into real time strategy games. I’ve got a friend who is hooked on it.

888 paintball

2004-09-10T20:29:00.000-07:00

I don’t want to hype up a paintball store, but “888 paintball” is good. I was complaining earlier and I should have mentioned 888 paintball. I’ve ordered from them a couple of times. I can honestly recommend 888 paintball.

Accept credit cards

2004-09-10T19:20:00.000-07:00

Accept credit cards

Are you thinking of creating your own online paintball store. Make sure you can accept credit cards. You have to be able to accept credit cards to sell online. I’m mentioning this because I tried to buy a halo yesterday, and the seller made it very difficult. All I’m saying is have a merchant account so you can accept credit cards online. It’s not that hard.

Note to online paintball stores.

Have a merchant account so you can accept credit cards online.

If you haven’t noticed the link down on the right side for the tontons video section I’d like to direct you to it. They generally upload new game footage regularly. For the record I have know idea what a tonton or flingueur is, but those guy’s are cool.

And the winner for cheesiest promotional video goes to….. Smart Parts

I’m so glad we get to see this. Now we all understand how paintball should present it’s self to the general public. Take away all the edge that makes this sport so enthralling and add a splash of campy ness.

If that wasn’t bad enough news, then let’s beat on smart parts a little more.

I admit I like smart parts and there product’s, but this lawsuit business is ugly and unnecessary. Maybe we can take our rivalries back to the field, where it’s fun.

Thank you 68cal for your news.

Why do I care about all this fighting between Dragun Empire or ogi or odyssey or who ever they are? I haven’t ordered a Halo to feed my e-blade yet.

I know I’m a little behind the times, but these day’s a revy is a great way to conserve paint durng rec play. Sounds strange I know. With a revy I can pull just under ten balls per second. With a halo I can easily double that with no worries about breaks. Maybe it’s time to consider other loader options.

Mass Appeal or Fan Boys Rejoice

2004-07-05T17:15:00.000-07:00

One small step for fan boys, one giant leap for Paintball. With the assistance of some high powered sponsorships, and I would assume some business savy Dynasty has become the number one team among the masses. I’m referring to this article on paintballstar.com.

A quote of a quote and a quote…

“Dynasty is unquestionably the best paintball team in the world. They win virtually every tournament they play in,” said Chris Williams, Action Village Promotions Manager. “And ActionVillage.com is the largest online paintball retailer in the world. It is a perfect match for Dynasty to combine their domination on the field with the service and vast selection that Action Village has to offer.”

“The reason we did this is because of the fans,” said Alex. “This is great for Dynasty fans because it will make Dynasty goods widely available. There will also be a wide variety of Dynasty signature series stuff that other teams don't have. This is definitely a good time to be a Dynasty fan. It's also good for the haters because they have more stuff to hate on and then they can buy cool Dynasty stuff secretly.”

I don’t know about them being unquestionably the best paintball team in the world, but they have become one of the most well known. Not unlike the major factory teams of the past.

Quote from a member of PbNation.com.

It is unfortunately rare in paintball that players get in trouble for bad behavior. Big props to Atomix for taking care of it. Glad to see that it does matter to some.

I can’t agree more. More sponsors should step up and expect a little sportsmanship from there teams. If you don't know what happened go to the PbNation.com link.
