Weekend paintballing = owwwww
Mar. 21st, 2005 12:22 amSaturday was con geeking. heh.
Went paintballing as it was Sloopy's birthday. Tiring, as all your adrenaline goes very quickly and you're charging about, far too many Starship Troopers references from the safety lecture onwards up to and including 'MEDIC!' when someone's hand got done at close range (and dammit, just realised no-one used 'the enemy cannot use a weapon if you disable his hand'). Have ring-shaped bruises all over legs, a few on arms and one on hand. Andy got a rather spectacular one by virtue of being hit twice in the same spot two game running. You get hit more after you've surrendered and thus have to walk through the crossfire. The pellets hurt *more* when they bounce off you rather than explode.
It would've been more fun if the other side hadn't had a lot of jerks playing and cheating on a regular basis.
