so i went to the field yesterday (boston paintball), overall it was a pretty good day of play (besides the #%&$@#$ tourny player that wiped 5 shots when he was in the open... dont get me started on him). i even met a fellow AOer, Alpha (after 3-4 people came over to ask me if i had an angel frame on my mag, he came over and asked me if i had a logic frame or chimera 
) but one thing i noticed that was pretty interesting. i generally go paintballing on wednesdays at team night, or at other fields/team practices. but when i went to boston paintball on a weekend, there were a TON of new players, like around 10-14, all renting. and when they went on the field, their parents lined up against the glass to watch and sometimes even shouted out or talked together. it was pretty funny, ive heard some people on AO mention paintball parents but i usually play with older people or on team days so i guess ive never seen paintball parents before. i actually watched the rental games and they were hilarious, my friend has a picture on his camera phone of EIGHT rental players lined up at the back right laydown (ill post it up if i can get it from him). they just stay there the whole game, never really do anything, and occasionally popped up over the bunker to look around and lob a few balls.
oh yeah and there was an ion there on the wall, but i wasnt able to try it out.
on a side note, when we arrived at the field, my friends and i just started cracking uplaughing. they installed a... wait for it... PIZZA VENDING MACHINE. im serious here. ive never even heard of one before. it was about three times the size of a normal vending machine, and you put in $6 and it cooks a frozen pizza for you. i actually didnt try it (again i weigh paint vs food, paint wins) but my friends did and they said it was pretty good. what i thought was really funny was when i told two of my friends about the pizza machine, one who is local and another who lives in spain. the friend who lives locally responded with "LOL thats awesome!!!" and the friend who lives in spain responded with "LMAO!!! hahahahaha, stupid fat people!!! sorry but... seriously thats sad."
