I'm not 'avid' in the sense that I do it all the time, but I love paintball. The visceral nature and camaraderie appeal to the romantic in me.

I enjoy it a great deal, though I'm by no means an enthusiast.

I tend to stick to 'sneak-n-shoot' strategy. I'm like Solid Snake with a paintgun, biatches!

I like paintball, though I've only been able to play a few times. I got myself a gun and the one place within an hour of where I live promptly closed promising to re-open at a different location in the summer. That was about 3-4 years ago now.

I've only gone paintballing a few times.  I liked it, but I really didn't like the hardcore paintball regulars.  Dicks, all of them.  A bunch of them turned their pressure back up too!

Yeah, it's better to go with a (large) group of people you know. My first time going, which was great overall, after I got shot out in one of the scenarios, two more guys shot me in the back - one at very close range - as I exited the field with my weapon held above my head. It isn't especially painful through a jumpsuit, but it's clearly bad-mannered.

You can feel pain from being shot with a paintball? I never noticed.  :P

Kuroi, for your sake I hope you deliberately missed the point. We were discussing players who are "dicks." I was following the procedure for leaving the field when shot out and was subsequently shot multiple times unnecessarily. You'll even notice I said it "isn't especially painful." Don't be a dick yourself.

Yes, it was a deliberate missing of the point. Hence the smiley, you know.  :D

I've given up on smileys. For instance, yours could have meant (and I read it as) an emphasis of how obvious it is that getting shot can cause pain, as if I had somehow forgotten human biology and physics.


Anyway, I wish I remembered the name of the place, but there's a forest with paintball set up about twenty minutes outside of Cambridge, UK that I really recommend to anyone in the area. Great variety of scenarios, terrain and buildings/constructs. Also, at mid-morning, when the fog is still lifting, the light from the canopy on the fog and the condensation inside your helmet makes you see star-bursts and rainbows everywhere, which makes the activity very surreal.

Anyhoo, now you know.

Additionally, the joke was kinda on me, but chances are you might not be familiar with that.

And I don't live in the UK, but that sounds all kinds of awesome.
