You're obsessed with paintball when...

on the first day of school you say your hobbie is paintball. (yes, I did this in ALL of my classes)

You wish paintball was a part of Physical Education.

You hear a new band and think "Man, if they could play this as I step on the the field..."

When instead of wearing sunglassed you throw on your pb mask that has a chrome lense.

When you skip homework becuase you want to do somethign paintball associated (play paintball computer game, play pb, buy pb stuff, clean your gear)

When you are proud to tell someone you own an E-mag...Even if they havent played paintball before.

Your gun is worth more than your TV, stero, cds put together.

You make fun of someone spending 1000 dollars on a car stero system, when you have more than triple that invested in paintball.

You spend 30 minutes thinking of reasons you would be addicted to pb.

You know your obsessed when:

you try to get everyone you meet to try paintball, even the UPS delivery person...he's hesitant, but he won't be able to hold out much longer!

you've bought everything you need for pb and you still feel incomplete.

everything you own (with the exception of pb gear)has the possibility of being liquidated for more/better pb gear.

you feel that it is your destiny to play pb!

or when you play one of those turkey hunting arcade games , and you shoot one turkey paintball style so fast , and so much that it causes the game to glitch and instead of seeing the turkey fall over dead it completely dissappears. (yes this did happen to me )

or how about when your parents bring up the difference between obsessing about something and a "hobby".

when a co-worker is also on your team and you get board while closing, one with a guacamule(sp?) gun and the other with a sour cream gun, and one in the back of the store, the other in the lobby, and play a lil 1on1.

taco bell is a great place to play too.

or when you look around at your current surroundings and say,"man, this would be a killer place to go paintball if it wasnt for all these stupid in the way."

well i do alot of that stuff, plus more

-after a test in school you shoot the "air tirigger" on the bar of your desk

-you have your local mall mapped out for a perfect urban assault, center flag version of speedball (yes i want to do this...now if they'll only let us borrow the mall for a night)

-you're currently trying to get ahold of your school's stadium so your local feild can hold a tourney under the lights

-a teacher bends down behind their desk and you think what a great time it would be to bunker them

-when you bunker your pets w/ out paint or air for practice (i forget who's idea here on the boards it was to do that, but it works)

-you can't go a single lunch period w/ out talking about paintball

-you can feild strip your mag apart in 12 seconds blind folded

-you go to your local proshop even when you don't need paintball gear

-your local pro-shop owners often will give you free fills cause they like you

-the average trip to the paintball store, even to just get paint and air, takes 45 minutes

....when you buy those banana-scented paintball JUST to see if they taste like banana too

....when you name your guns....with first AND last names

....when each of your barrels has a tigerskin case

....when instead of reading the paper in the morning, you read paintball 2xtremes over

....when you try to practice snapshooting behind the fatkid in class, and your target is your teacher

you KNOW that you are obsessed with paintball when

you give the light guns in the arcade(yes, time crisis) a super short and lite trigger job...:rolleyes: guilty

and when you open up the guns and give them auto response(oh the guys really like that one, seriously)...:rolleyes: guilty

when you used cocker componets on nonpaintball related things to make them work:rolleyes: guilty

when you go skeet shooting with your angel(and hit them) rolleyes: gulty

when you want to go hunting with your paintball gun, not very effective(unless you use your RT valve,lvl7, and a modifed barrel shooting marbles) :p not guilty

well I'm at work, so don't have too much time right now. later AZZKIKR

You consider re-arranging the cubicles at work for an indoor field.... and using everyones access cards for 'mission keys' for restricted/bonus areas. (I have done this several times, on paper, at a job I once worked at)

Someone calls your name, you duck and try to snap shoot them.

You've practiced snap shooting in rush hour traffic.

You day dream of Mad Max-Road Warrior with PB gear in the same rush hour traffic.

Your idea of trash talk is threatening to bunker someone most heinously.

No matter where you walk you feel the urge to dive for cover in case there are PBallers out there you missed.

You think it would be easier for a country to settle its disputes with paintball gear instead of real weapons. You nearly drool when thinking of a Braveheart scene in the same situation.

I'll have more I'm sure:D.

you wear your bruises like badges of honor.

every bruise you see on somebody you think: "that could be a paintball welt"

nobody elses briuses are as impressive as yours, cause they just got them from a measely car wreck or some other non-paintball related activity. (my girlfreind came up with that one)

During class you practice writing left-handed to improve your off handed shooting skills :)

And about the light gun thing, me and my friend discovered an awesome trick on games that require you to shoot outside the screen to reload: Put your hand under the gun to hold it (the one that's not shooting) and when you run out of ammo, flip your hand up over the barrel so it's blocking it and fire, and since it doens't hit the screen it registers it as a reloading shot. We beat Jurassic Park like 4 times the day we discovered that :D And Time Crisis II has a pretty sweet gun with the moving slide and all.

Or you've ever been in an argument over wether paintball was a sport. They think cheerleading is a sport, but not paintball :rolleyes:

You dream PB.......

They are wet dreams (X-Mag).......

You make 40,000 Plus a year and you don't know where it all went.....

You have to borrow some elses computer to get on AO because you don't have money for your own......

Everyone at the local PB store knows your name and no they don't have your X-mag yet......

You get very angry and pissed off when someone gets an X-mag, even when they are on your team......

You sleep with your gun(s)......

You talk to your gun(s).......

You think they talk back......

When you goto an arcade looking for Konami's Police 911 - and you can't find, then you hope that you find Time Crisis II or Silent Scope 2 - hopefully in good working order. Then wind up playing Time Crisis 1 and the the whole gun is jacked but you play anyway.:confused:

You know you are obsessed when:

Your decision to change posts hinges completly upon whether or not there is a paintball park nearby.

The first thought when you get accepted to fly helicopters is "I wonder if I could shoot paintballs out the side while flying?"

The words your daughter learns in order is "Dada, Mama, and Tom Kaye.

When driving you often think "I could setup a field there, and there, and there."

You have owned at least one marer from all the companies that make markers.

You question whether or not your two year old is old enough to play yet.

TheJester

you've had dreams of having an air battle between the gliders and all the students at your local soaring club (guilty)

there's a feild you see every day from the bud on the way to school that you dream of building a paintball feild on(guilty)

Demonio

03-31-2003, 09:28 PM

You build a shooting range in your backyard to practice your marksmanship

You buy yourself an Emag so you can let your friends use your minimag to play with you.

You try to convince your friend to turn a piece of his land into a 2-4 man field set-up (and he's seriously starting to think about it)

You hope your unborn son will get into PBall when he get's old enough to play - I'm saying 5 is a good age to start actually playing - but target practice can start as soon as he can pull the trigger on any of my guns.

You can't tell your pregnant wife you just bought yourself an E-mag w/warp feed and Angel AIR to go with it.. (Shhhhh)

Yep, I do this, but I also take it a bit farther. Places you could play paintball:

in church (the pews make wicked bunkers)

in a theater (not a movie theater, but one with box seats and balconies)

on a battleship

in an aquarium or a museum

in an airport

in the BatMan thrill show set at Six Flags over GA.

in a water park

on a speeding train

on the Mall in Washington DC - with like 500 ppl on each team (one starts at the capitol and one at the Lincoln memorial, hang a flag on the Washington Monument

think about playing on computer game maps sucks as counter-strike de_dust, oh man that would be awsome

yeah and about the paintball instead of pe i went to my principal and askd if our school could do it. I told him that pe stands for paintball education.

and why in the hell does evry one know about homestar runner???

oh yeah i also evry time we go on family trips i also say that that area would be good for a field, and my family gets all pissed cause I always do that.

I'm not just saying this, guys, but the other day, I was watching the news on the war. They showed a group of marines filing out of the back of an APC, and as I looked at each of them as they came into view, my first thought (and I'm not kidding...)was

"WTF?!? Where is that guys mask?!?! He could get hurt...":confused::rolleyes:

Also at work, (I work in a stereotypical office environment with cubicles and all) I find myself subconsiously(SP?) noticing which cubicle walls would provide more cover, a better angle, etc. Supermarkets, too

When prior to taking a trip anywhere and for any reason, you always inquire what fields are on the area and how to get there from where you will be staying.

And in the "you just can't make this stuff up" category.

While at a pre-show, opening night party for a Broadway musical, your middle and index fingers unconciously practice pulling the trigger whenever your hand is at your side.

You look at airsoft stuff and think "Hey, that would be fun to play with at the field while eating lunch!"

You plan events around your paintball schedule.

And yes, I'm guilty of planning vacations around good fields :)

All the 9v/AA batteries in your house are used to power hoppers or guns, yet you can never find any for your flashlight or CD player when you need them.

You've ever asked a Radio Shack employee a question about Intellifeed.

You've asked ANYONE other than a cocker tech at a store if they carried or knew what size actuator rod coupler set screws were. (try that at Dick's sporting goods, who claim to know about paintball :D )

You use the term 'cocker' in school/public.

You wonder why Ace hardware doesn't carry anything but cast iron 90 degree elbows and why heat shrink tubing is so darn expensive.

You go to the paintball store just to see if any of the new stuff is in to drool over even though you're broke. And they know you by name.

My 1989 grand marquis cost 200 dollars. Its air conditioning is broken.

I just spent 375 on a rt mag, choosing paintball over a nicer car/air conditioning. I live in florida btw.

I am officially obsessed with paintball.

Oh btw you may be obsessed with paintball if you pop a car tire, but choose to buy 3 cases of paint instead of replacing it.

I'm guilty of all 3 of those, but instead of a 45 minute drive, I drive 90 minutes, and I have 2 stores about 10 minutes from me that I refuse to deal with cuz they don't appreciate Mags.

But you know you're really bad when you work at a senior apartment complex, and look at the residents and try to figure out who would be the most fun to bunker behind their walker, or what it would be like to do a "Drive by" in one of their motorized scooters.

Heh, lets see, I guess I'd be a shocker... due to bad air effeciency (asthma and allergies), heavy weight and large size (self explanatory) , but I'm not quiet. So I don't know what I'd be. Maybe a... um... whatever :cool: :D

You've ever turned off the TV during a major sporting event like the super bowl or the final 4 because it was distracting you from cleaning your paintball gear.

...and you had money on the game.

...and you have already cleaned your paintball stuff 3 times.

You buy a car and your only concern is if you can make it to the field with all your stuff and not have to drive back to your house for the rest.

You have more equipment than the field.

...including markers.

You have ever played a game without a gun just to be playing . :D (hey, I almost made it to the flag :) )

You have ever thrown paint instead of calling yourself out.

You skip lunch to buy another case of paint for your baby to eat instead :)

(By the way, Radio Shack employees don't know much about Intellifeed. They can help you with hopper timers and maybe even mask fans however :D )

You say something someone who doens't play doesn't understand, and even if you weren't talking about paintball they assume you were.

You buy your shoes according to how well they will feel when playing.

Most of your normal clothes have paintball logos on them.

All of your normal clothes have paintball logos on them.

...and they are just stickers to save money for more paintball stuff.

The only reason you own a computer is to check out cool paintball stuff online.

You read P8nt, APG, PB2X and Facefull before even thinking about picking up the paper.

You also check out online paintball comics and ignore the news that pops up when you sign on.

...and it causes you to be behind in the news ( "Hey, the earth's supply of drinkable water will run out in a year and Saddam Hussein burned down all the rainforests." "Yeah whatever, but man, have you SEEN the new ULE bodies?!?")

You've ever called in sick to play paintball.

...and the only reason you went back to work was so you could pay for more paintball stuff.

People thinks your dad beats you because of all your welts and bruises

Our Front man max rushed the far sides 40 without a gun, and won the game by bunker taggin the 17 players, ending the game in about 1min.

I was pulled to the side of the hall by a teacher who questioned how if my father has hit me before.. haha

Here are some others,

One of the first things you (want to) do when you get your license for the first time is drive down to your local pro shop to talk with all the employees.

You've applied (multiple times) to your local pball store to get a job

you come up with slogans to yell as you bring the flag to the opposing teams side of the field after you max them (FIVE HOES IN THE BACK!!!)

You almost envy midgets... well, little people because they could play twice as tight as you

1. You figure out expenses in terms of Pb gear and paint (EX: $400 dollars for a entertainment system, $400 will get me a really nice tank...)

2. You are on a first name basis with every field in town.

3. You spend more time picking out a drop forward than you do a piece of clothing.

4. You think models would be prettier if they were holding a marker.

5. You manage to tell people that you play paintball within five minutes of meeting them.

6. Every where you go you look for paintball fields. (I actually saw one when when I was TDY in Kuwait last summer!!! Cool, huh?)

7. You have several ideas for your own trigger frame.

8. A paint marker is the answer to all of you problems.

9. You spend the majority of your paycheck on gear.

10. It takes you three months to buy a paint marker because you have to research everything.

11. Your marker cost more than most people's first cars.

12. You can break down the various marker types and explain the differences to people.

13. You walk around pulling an "air trigger" so you can work your fingers faster and thereby shooting faster.

14. You set your schedule around paintball.

15. You think there should be more female players so you could hook up, and not have to worry about her getting mad at you for playing all the time.

16. You read this thread, and realize you are not alone.

17. You might be the founding member of PBA "Paint Ballers Anonymous". Though you won't stop.

...you know what a 14 way is, how to time a cocker, troubleshoot a mag and build a Matrix from scratch but when you take your car to the mechanic none of what he says makes any sense

...for everyone's special events (weddings, birthdays, etc) you try to find an excuse to play paintball or involve it in some way

...you look at a paintball poster and pay more attention to the marker than the model

...you can flip open any paintball magazine and name any marker and the acessories on it almost instantly

...you've ever been involved in a fight over who's marker was prettier

...you spend more money on the stuff you put on your marker than it cost new - and the gun is an Angel

...you wonder why people consider cheerleading, golf and curling (if you don't know what that is visit usacurling.com) sports but not paintball.

...at school you have completely covered your bookbag, notebooks, and papers with paintball logos, stickers, and slogans

You are obsessed with paintball when......

You have been playing since paintballs were about .20 cent....a piece.

You have scars on your body from when paintballs that had liquid flour fill. {Those things really Hurt!!!}

When your first "Real" semi was an automag....and after about 26 markers you come back to an automag.

You have to trade in your new car for a smaller, less expensive one to pay your credit card off from paying for paintball.

When you go to the doctor and try to explain how you blew your knee out at "work" so your company health insurance will pay for your paintball injury.

If you have to explain to your wife that the welt on your neck is NOT a hickey.

When you think that you can really do a good job painting your house with your emag instead of buying a wagner power blower.

If you have ever written off a trip to World Cup as a business expendature!!! {I got a tax writeoff!!! lol}

Claimed a paintball gun as the most expensive item taken when your house was broken into. {Got a nice replacement}

When the paintball company you order your parts from know you by the sound of your voice.

Here is the big one.

When you divorce your wife for pawning your 1300 buck SFL Emag for 150 bucks... then getting remarried to the girl who bought it. {Really happend to my brother in law!!}

...you have a licence plate/bumper sticker that reads "I'd rather be playing paintball"

...you ordered custom vanity plates with paintball related sayings on them

...you have ever denied yourself food, clothing, etc. so you could buy something for your marker

...your paintball gear costs more than your REAL firearms

...you've ever accidently tried to put a barrel plug in any of your real firearms

...you type paintball words like "Automag", HPA and "LPR" so much that your spell checker has given up on trying to correct them

...not only the paintball store but the SCUBA shop knows you by name, and your paintball terms have started to wear off on them

...you buy a SCUBA tank but no equipment (like the regulator, air lines and the little mouth piece thing) and they ask you if it's your first time SCUBA diving and you look at them like they're crazy since you bought it for paintball

...if you've not only read through all 4 pages of this thread but have also contributed to it and realized that nearly every one of them applies to you (with an exception for getting turned on by the X-mag, that is rather disturbing)

...you've typed 4 pages in posts and don't think about it but you still haven't done your English term paper

By the way, my bookbag straps are held on by paper clips, zip ties and one D-ring, the metal zipper handles broke off so I tied old shoe strings on to them but it is covered in logos as is every one of my notebooks :D

...you take offense at someone calling your marker a 'gun'

...you quit playing for a while and people ask you if you quit smoking because you have so many withdrawl symptoms

You are obsessed with paintball when:

you fracture 3 vertebra in your neck, and therefore cannot play paintball for the next 3 months. SO despite that, you attempt to continue to manage your team from your house, watch the videos of practices, try to buy equipment you have no money and no use for. And wish that you could at least practice snapshooting, if it wernt for the fact that you couldn move your neck.

You tell people you play paintball when they ask what sports you play...

...and even if they don't you tell them anyway

If the majority of your dreams take place at a paintball field

You gain more muscle carrying your stuff to the field than working out at a gym
or
You have to work out at a gym to be able to carry all your stuff to the field

You calculate large sums of money in cases of paint or other stuff like Freak barrel inserts, etc

You buckle your marker in for the drive to the field

When you use a drill as you would a marker and people ask "what are you doing?" and you say "Guy behind the traveler ref" . (I was in a theater at the time)

You sit up in the light booth and wonder how much fun it would be to unload hopper after hopper onto the enoying chorus people on the stage below.(also in a theater)

You want to bunker all the enoying actors that take your work for granted. (not all actors just divas.)

Lee

06-05-2003, 10:01 PM

you make your kid take pb stuff to shop class to sandblast for you.

someone surprises you at work and you move for cover or duck.

you practice snap shooting at people on tv.

you have one of each paintball category on your favorite ebay searches.

you have a custom made case on your living room wall with old school artifacts in it.

you have no clean white t-shirts, so you wear a mostly white pb shirt under your dress shirt for you kids high school graduaiton.

when you go to a field you've never been to before and they ask you how you like it, you start off with "at the last field i worked at....."

you have to make more than one trip from your vehicle to the staging area.

you drive a truck or suv because it's the best way to get all your stuff to a field that may not have the best access road, and you can nap in it at a 24 hour game.

your idea of decor is an oversized 68 automag sticker thumb tacked to your living room wall.

You play paintball the day after a serious injury (like breaking your arm or something

People don't even know your room has wallpaper because you have so many paintball posters put up

Nearly everything you own is covered in paintball stickers, whether it is related to paintball or not

The people at the gas station look at you funny because you just bought another gallon of Gatorade and you're all sweaty from playing

...and its only 10:00

...and its the third time you've been since you started playing

...and it probably won't be the last

You have used paintball as a theme in a major assignment for school

...and you used it as an excuse to look up paintball stuff and chat on AO

...and you put it off until the last minute to do other paintball related stuff

At night you lie awake and think of the games you played that day and how you can improve

You've actually worn nice clothes not intended for paintball because you 'happened' to be at the field at an good time and didnt have anything else to wear

You wear clothes with paint stains on them and think nothing of it

You alter other sports to help you practice for paintball (me and my friend played racquetball but decided it was much more fun to TRY to hit each other, that left a couple bruises :D )

When you get a shot or something you think of paintball to take your mind off the pain

You rate hardware and home improvement stores based not on how far away they are but how much paintball stuff they carry (like loctite, teflon tape, elbows, etc)

You've ever played paintball in your backyard

...and you live in the city

You are a safety freak when it comes to paintball but when you get home you blow stuff up for fun (guilty :) )and don't think anything about it

You not only have posters covering your walls but your entire house has a 'paintball theme' to it (can't you just imagine inflatable chairs with Sup' Air bunker logos on them?)

You have a framed professional photograph of your marker anywhere in your house

...and its bigger than the pictures of your relatives

...and you moved your relatives pictures to put it there

Yeah, it doesn't bother me getting shot, so I'll stay calm and then come home and stub my toe on a rock or something and scream curse words at it :D

Some more:

Instead of having your marker on display you have it locked away in some vault and have to memorize half a dozen different combinations to get to it

...and it makes you forget important stuff like your birthday and social security number

...and you acess the vault at least twice a day

...and you have other, more valuable stuff just sitting around on the table or something, like a Rembrandt painting or the holy grail :)

You're more anxious waiting for your X mag to arrive than your important medical records

...and they are about some life-threatening illness

...the packages arrive at the same time and you open the X mag first

...and play with it before bothering to open the other one

...and you find out you have a brain tumor or something and your main concern is that you won't be able to play with your X mag if you die, or for a long time after surgery

You get paintball stuff for special occasions and holidays

You actually know the mailman and have had in depth discussions about paintball after he wondered what was up with all the packages he was delivering

Figuring he's masochistic, he wants to get shot some more - shirtless and about 40 shots later from about 30 feet away at about 250fps - you know you have created another paintballer when he says "That felt gooood!!"

you have bought so much stuff from your local field they know you buy what gear you use and are wearing

it doesnt matter if a person is a geek as long as they like to play paintball

you stay up till 4 in the morning on AO and other paintball web sites

When you are regularly sitting at the field when they open the door - and they always open the door an hour before play starts.

When you have ever played 1 on... 0 in order to see how quick you could make the bunker moves - in that hour before anyone else got there.

When you realize that you could get a nice X-mag in trade for your Porsche 924.

When you notice all your hobbies involve paintball.

When you notice your schedule calender is filled up with paintball stuff - and nothing else.

when you keep your stock trigger frame in the car to walk when you are in traffic, and when you still remember all the UPS tracking numbers from guns 3 years ago.

when you run around work "splatting" people, then coming up with reasons why their shots missed you, such as "you left your safety on" or "you hit the fly in front of me"

you actively seek out people you work with, sometimes going out of your way and putting off work, to splat them. (I work at Walmart, I play with a bunch of people who work there)

You spend more time on AO than you do on your HW

You watch tv with your paintball gun in hand, shooting it constantly with no air or paint.

Holding your paintball gun brings you peace in this crazy world when nothing else will do.

You buy paint just to go out back and shoot random trees

...when you fall in love with your gun
...when people ask if you have ringworm because of all the scars that are perfect circles
...when the only decorations you have in your house are banners and posters of paintball
...when you have been shoot in the nuts so many different times you can't count
...when you are out you make people you don't even know cheers to AGD WOOOOHOOOO

when all your "connections in high places" are from paintball. I got on the team by being on good terms (and fixing his emag) w/ mike, i also get random discounts from him becuase i work the store when they're at a tournament. Lisa's my manager (who's on the team). i bought my car from randy (who's on the team, and is lisa's husband).

...when you ride your bike to work and get rides to the field with your friends or a stranger (yes I hitch-hiked, cause my buddy needed to go to church) :rolleyes:

...when you decide not to go to college and go straight into the work force so you can pay for 2 cases of paint a week. (Guilty)

...when you computer had more paintball stickers than a dalmation has spots.

...when you've tried putting a paintball sticker on a dalmation's spots. :)

...when your bike has more stickers than all the food in a super-market (The price gun stickers)

oh yeah..

...When you practice snap shooting with a price gun while on the job. :D

...When you got fired for reading the paintball magizines when you should have been stocking shelves...3 times (guilty) :rolleyes:

...When your riding your paintball sticker covered bike to work you think about how you're making your legs stonger so you can get to the 50 faster.

...When you see graffiti on walls and such you think about how good you could do it with your marker.

...When you have paintball boxes stacked up to your ceiling and have a room specificly devoted to your paintball supplies.
