Santa vs The Grinch '08 pictures

My personal stats for this game and my game notes/comments can be found in the Play Log section of my brigade page.

I took the first 2 pictures with my cell phone camera. The last picture was taken by Boy Scout Assassin. I was too busy playing to take more on-field picts or to be captured in an action shot myself!

How It's Made - Paintballs

I just saw this on the discovery channel. I think this is episode 6 from season 2. It's old and and I wouldn't be surprised if things were done somewhat differently now but I thought it was interesting.



Despite the "sweetener", secret combination of food ingredients and the gelatin -"the kind used to make gummy bears"- I don't recommend eating paintballs. They're not very tasty.

Here Malone and Craigo are going over some mission details.

I'm usually too busy IN ACTION to get any decent action shots but luckily Skirmish has very talented roving photographers. Hopefully they caught some nice shots of us.

This picture was snapped about 20 minutes before the game strarting Beach Assault. From left to right is Team Extreme Measures members Craigo, Sinkhole and Capt. Malone.

ION 2008

It's Sunday morning here at ION and the troops are just waking up. Yesterday's battles are still fresh in everyone's minds. Stories of mishief, mayhem and adventure were abound around the campfire last night. In a bid to re-write history, the Germans held the beach and did not let even one of the five stations fall. From my perspective, completed missions and props were streaming into German headquarters all day. Let's see what today brings...

Game On!

Looks like I will be unexpectedly attending the "Finish It" scenario at Strategy Plus this weekend. I'll try to remember to stream some photos while playing- ...not that I'd want to distract myself from any missions I may be running!

The "Finish It" scenario is based on the recently released Halo 3 game for Xbox. Aliens vs. Humans - or, if your familiar with Halo, United Nations Space Command vs the Covenant. There are some good players and teams that will be in attendance so this should be fun. And the weather is supposed to be beautiful!



I've never seen an "I'd rather be working" bumper sticker on a paintballer's car. Come out and have some fun!
