Well I'm back from the big game, and in typical fashion I have posted up an article about Pump Pandemonium 3 not only is there a standard article but also a collection of memoral moments from the game, and a few comments on what coudl be doen to fix the game. Take a look and also take a look at the Galax account, theres a section with pictures from PP3 for you guys to check out, unfortunately it's not as many as normal because of the intensity of the game. Did I absorb allt he Drunk? Hell no, Missy did! Who knew? does this mean I'm out a job? we'll see at fall castle! New Paintball information is up on the brute page, and a fullinformation file is up reguarding the Bush master as well as intersting information on the first phantoms.
Pandemonium Nears! 7-6-06
Ah a mere seven days away, I can almost hear the whuff-crack of pump action guns going off in unison followed by the 'splack' and thump of flying paint hitting things. You know you've got the Fever when you wake up and some how your Phantom is in hand and your aiming it at the Alarm clock which woke you up. Ok ok that didn't happen this time it did happen just before CC21 but thats not the point. The mask is done and ready for postcheck out my galax account for that I've made a new Sub-Folder for PP3 it's in there along with whatever photo's I take.
Also brewing wise the Dark Amber Beer is alost ready for bottling, while the Red-amber light is about two or three days out. Taste testing is on sunday sexy aint it? Also now that things are finalized I'll be bringing the following
4 small bottles of Dark Amber
2 Large bottles of Dark Amber
7 Large bottles of The Red-Amber
1 bottle of 'Ironbound Special' Home Brew
1 Bottle of 'First Mountain' Home Brew
Of course depending on how much taste testing I do there might be more or less.
Check out the new Article posted, it's about the rash of paintball attacks lately, it's titles "Land of Confusion"
Gearing Up for Pandemonium 6-21-06
Thats right yours truely is going to Pump Pandemonium 3, from what I hear it's a simple red vs blue game with some sort of capture the flag/minigame thing going on. Not bad I'd say it allows me to ease into playing pump but don't yall expect me to be roaming the feilds in the white mask your used to seeing. In a game full of sharp shooting pump action accuracy specialists I'm pulling out the other Gameface Skul I use, the Nordic Camoflage one, it's paint job isn't quite finished but when it is done it'll be posted here for all of you guys to look at. Oh yes..for those of you who might've heard, I'm currently brewing 2.5 gallons of Red-Amber beer, and 2.5 of Dark Amber beer with luck they should be done and bottled just days before pandemonium and ready for transport as well for drinking on site the first and second nights after the big games. Of course the Iron Bound special will make a reappearance, now that I've refined that recipie, so hold onto your hats and kiss your sober status goodbye! I'm absorbing all the drunk and the game hasn't even started yet!
Castle Conquest XXI, The Tenth Anniversary of EMR [5-2-06]
Yep we stormed the halls of the castle yet again and had a blast, Brian had to take the bus down to NJ to ride in with us just like the last time. My freind Will a first timer went along and got well baptized by paint so to speak. Even so the trip was a blast, we all had fun, and we everyone got back safely. The SCP folks did some miracle work on the bunkhouse. It's actually sitting straight now. Other wise the celebrations at EMR were something else for once they allowed fireworks beleive or not. Check out the CCXXI article, it's both got maps and a link top my galax account where oyu can see photos of CC both before during and after battle.
"Doesn't that hurt..being hit?"
Actually no, while it's been a long eight years since I last walked any paintball feilds, I can tell you that no being shot doesn't hurt infact, being stung by a yellow jacket is far more painfull. At castle conquest XX I managed to be hit twice and honestly had one of the shots not nailed me dead in the visor I wouldn't have even known I was shot at all I noticed later that I'd been hit in the arm too, hell I'd even caught some frozen shell chunks and had a few minor cuts but I didn't notice that either. One out for two games is a damn good return game, considering I managed to take four guys out. It wasn't so much the madness of the battlefeild that brought me back but the fun of off-feild shenanigans that did. The only glaring things that came to mind was that freindly fire is common, my vexxor is woefully innacurate and that armor is mostly unneeded.
In case your wondering if I went alone or with a team if you look on the EMR site at the home teams, I went into take the castle with the paintball marshals.
A full account of the battle, atleast from where I was involved will be comming soon
December 11th 2005: Update 003
You'd think stuff like this would happen to other people right? of course not! only me! It started out ok I went to Dick's Sporting goods to get a refill on my 9oz and 3.5oz, nothing too special but when I got to the counter in back..... [look at the first article link to the right for more!]
December Update 002
Now that the tippmann is firmly in my demented hands for practice and eventual combat purposes the reveiw of it is posted along with a less then perfect picutre I may be redoing later.
As a side note, the reveiw on Marballizer paintballs is going to be reveiwed, as Star 69 pointed out the load of marballizers we got at castle conquest was well, warped and such.
November Update 001
So it's a month after and here I am I'm hooked on the sport ironically I've sold off the vexor, and some spare equipment to my coworker and now he's hooked. The Irony of that is funny as hell. But anyway check out the page for some new stuff I've ben testing, checking and making sure it's right and heres some stats on the guns I've been fortunate enough to lay hands on.
Yeah is a month or two later and whats to show for it, the new VSC phantom, the soon-to arrive tippmann A-5 and hopefully before the year's out a C3 just for kicks.
