AO's thoughts on HK(Hostile Kids)

[ilikePB]

I have never called anyone that didnt like agg a hater, so dont say I have.

I wasn't necessarily saying that you did, but that seems to be the general idea of what those who are into agg and hk say about those who aren't.

also, i'm not saying hk are bad players, they got skill, they are good players, their image is just ridiculous.

OK, let me start by saying I am an older guy, I doubt I speak for all, but from an old guys point of view who really cares.

Do I support HK? To me, HK stands for a German gun company.

Sounds like a bunch of little girls drooling over the latest boy band.....an age thing that seems to be going around.....

so, I'm with you Blennidae, and I'll bet I'm older than you also :)

The headbands and are 30, big deal, people sell gucci headbands for 30 and no one has a problem buying them. 80 dollars for an HK jersey? HK never sold them at that price, people were willing to spend that much money. Most of the HK jerseys, were given away for free, to kids, some of the HK didnt even get a jersey. Since there is such a high demand for the HK jerseys, they are making better jerseys, are going to be selling them at a very very good price. The HK tank covers, are Kalibur tank covers, so what if they are 30 dollars, NXE tank covers are 25, JT tank covers are 25, Dye tank covers are 24. My HK tank cover has been the best tank cover I have ever used, I have owned Redz,JT,Dye tank covers. I have bought an HK jersey, HK tank cover, and an HK headband, I am VERY happy with my purchases from them, I am glad I did, they products are very well made and are better then most of the Dye and JT things I have owned. Also, HK with every order I have made from them and has thrown in free stuff, Iv gotten HK sunglasses, a DVD, a ton of HK stickers. In my eyes, HK has always put their fan's first, them selves second.

Did you even really read my post?? I said 30$'s for a headband is reasonable.. 80$'s for a HK jersey is understandable.. And I know he didn't sell them at full price, I post in the HK thread to, i've seen it all, your not letting me in on something new..

But my statement still stands

30 bucks for this:



is just dumb.. It's a sticker, and two pieces of foam.. And I would way rather have a JT or Dye tank cover for cheaper.. Everything else HK sells is cool in my books, I just can't justify this so called tank cover.

HK people are some of the coolest people on the planet.

Dang it!

I'm probably talking out of my butthole right now, but oh well. I'm too lazy to read everything that all of you wrote on this topic, but I do plan on doing one thing. I plan on giving you my two cents on what HK means to me.

HK means nothing to me, I mean sure, if I knew any of the kids...it might. Then again, I highly doubt it. As for the kids being "Street Rats" and playing at the field every weekend. They could...but only if they worked for their field time and paint, which I could understand. But I sadly doubt that any of them actually put towards ANY effort in doing that.

As for getting good, it doesn't matter how much you play. I mean, look at me! I played for two years twice a week and I still suck! Seriously though, it's all about determination. You could go out there with a newbie who's determined to shoot someone off the break. You show him and tell him what to do and when to do it and he'll do it eventually! Granted, might take him a day or two..even longer, to perfect it. Point being? He or she will be so determined to do it that they wont stop until they do. Sadly...this is not the case for many "better" paintballers.

For example, myself. I use to look forward to paintballing until soon, it was no longer fun. It seemed that practice was all everyone did, forget getting to know a fellow paintballer. Names were all I knew, and that's about the extent of it today. Not much more...As I continued to play I lacked in some qualities, but assumed that the position I played in was perfected enough, therefore, there was no reason for me to work on any other position. Reality check!!!

As I said before, HK means Hostile Kids to me and nothing more. The Article that Fraige wrote...what about it? In all honesty, I didn't even bother to read it. I know a bunch of Dynasty lovers did read it and were like. "HK is cooler now cause Fraige wrote about them" Big deal. I don't hate Dynasty, nor do I like them. At one time I did like them, until I realized there were better teams out there that didn't get first all of the time, but that doesn't matter...anyways...

If HK is your cup of tea, go for it. Don't pose like the kids at Atomix do. I mean, when I wear the JUSTICE Jersey I got from a friend off of the team (Chris Jollie) it's just cause I do. Be who you gotta be...be yourself and play like you learn how. Not like someone else does. Where's the individuality in that?

HK jerseys are sexy as a mutha.. If I was buying another jersey, I would forsure take theres.. Just because they look so damn good..

But with that being said pureevil, your right, it is just a name.. Oh and the more often I practice, the more I suck .. So I don't like practicing much lol.

Yes, their jerseys are very sexy, I wouldnt trade mine for anything. I have one of the orginal jerseys, I think its the best one of all, but I havent seen the new ones that will be out in 2 weeks, I think I may pick one up just for the fun of it, also I promised Magman007 I would get him one.

HK, to me, has almost got to be a grand hoax. It's so corny that I hardly believe people take it seriously at all.

I don't "hate" HK, I just, mostly, think it's lame. Which is not necessarily the actual team's fault. A lot of people took "agg" and the whole army thing and turned it into some sort of zen club, which is rediculous. If you like that style, that's fine... I think the way they dress looks foolish.

They're gun "mods" have mostly been ugly, esp. those tar eye covers they put on angels. They also had cheats built into them.

What really gets me about all of it is that they think they started a trend with "streetball," which, after reading it sounds just about like any rec game played. But they do "moves." I guess...

I've not met them, so I have no clue what they are like personally, and they may be really nice folks. "Cool," however, isn't something that I think applies.

For those of us who've been wearing camouflage in tournaments forever, it's hard to see how on earth people think it's "agg" now. Headbands and headgear in general is way too hot to be comfortable. I have no idea why anyone needs that many rags hanging off of them. And, of course, the stickers... eh, I've never had any use for stickers anyway.

I love how everyone who thinks they are lame are automatically e-tackled by 50 folks calling them "haters.." I don't think they know what a hater really is.

Gator Glaze defines what agg is.

[Sac]

is that the guy who got gogged in the pic?

[dave_p]

so agg means getting gogged cuz you were too busy looking like a tool to remember to lead out with your gun up?

[Sac]

i could be agg in no time then!

... i'll support anyone who loves paintball.

I won't. Some of the people that love this game are jerks and newbie-bashing bullies. I can't support those people.

HK? Never heard of them before last week. Not surprising given the distance from SoCal to central Canada. They have a cool name, and nice looking stickers, though. If they play straight-up ball, I can support that.
