Intro

Last month I went on an end of summer paintball excursion at TNT Paintball. This was my first time at TNT Paintball. A bunch of people said they were going to come, but it ended up being just me and Tyler. In either case, it was still a lot of fun. Lucky us, we went on the day that rained the most that summer.

The morning was great because it was cloudy and cool which is ideal; however, it started coming down pretty hard in the afternoon. My googles were fogging up quite a bit, and the rain started affecting the gun's accuracy. We played 10 games I think, and I ended up using about 400 rounds of paint which is typical for me. My battle wounds are fairly superficial compared to other battles I've had. I could still walk properly the next day, so that's a good sign.

We worked pretty darn well as a team. Tyler's my trusty tail gunner. Usually I run up front and draw fire, while Tyler responds in kind to enemies. If an enemy is bunkered down real well, usually Tyler will give suppression fire while I sneak around for the kill. It worked really well.

Play of the Day

In either case, a bunch of my friends asked how paintballing went, so instead of retelling the story a billion times over e-mail, I made a Flash movie that tells our tales of valour and glory.

This movie clip highlights the play of the day that Tyler and I had. The mission was to deliver a backpack bomb to the enemy base. So, Tyler and I being a special ops unit was given the task to neutralize the enemy base's defences. (For those who can't play Flash movies, I'll summarize it by this: Tyler and I managed to sneak into the enemy base and took out 6 of their defenders.)
