Paintball yesterday with the UTS lads. It was me, Lenny, James, Jimmy, Simon, Joel, Tim, Gordon and Nam.

Fwarkk was it a trek and a half to get to the place.  We picked up James from Cabra in Lennys 2.5 seater ute, so it was a bit of a squeeze sitting in the middle. 3 guys in a ute was a sight to .. forget.

Anyway, when we got the place, I wasn’t expecting there to be about 50 other people playing at the same time. I thought it was just going to be us against each other. But overall it was pretty awesome. We got suited in our camo gear then briefed on safety and itinerary for the day. We got split up into different teams so 5 of us go split up and put into a different team, but we were still against each other, albeit with randoms.

First map was the crypt game zone. When the guy counted down, we all ran straight for cover. and started shooting across the map, but no one was moving up to the crypt, so to get the nerves of getting shot out of our system, we all stood in a line and withstood fire from the other team. Tim shot me 3 times - yes it hurt like a bitch. I also was wearing a half-visor helmet, so my head was totally exposed (as opposed to the other guys who don’t wear glasses - they get full helmets). When a paintball hit my head, GADDAMN did it cain … for about 5 seconds.

I really am lazy with describing the rest of the day, but it was so much fun, including when I got my revenge on Tim on the London map. Shot him multiple times while he was running and yelled out a celebratory YEAHHHHH!!!! Hahah. Oh in one of the maps, I GOT SHOT IN THE MOUTH. It hit the grills where the helmet protects your mouth, and the paint went straight through. Tasting the paint was terrible since we weren’t allowed to remove our helmets, I was constantly spitting out trails of paint. Best map was this one though, its where I shot the most people for me, and we took over the bus.

Overall, the day was good fun. Would definitely love to go again! Preferably when there isn’t mud or when it wasn’t previously raining.
