Yes I was off again, but I got distracted by Dragon Age: Origins. Shiny…
Also why did no-one tell me there’s a planned Bioshock game coming out? God I love those games.
I went paintballing yesterday, by the way. I don’t know if the rules we played by were the usual ones (head shot or paintball didn’t go off = no kill, shot on torso, legs, arms or equipment = kill.) but I had fun…when I wasn’t being pelted with paint.
Hit Count (on me)
Face: 5 times, all in final free-for-all (where there are no kills, as it’s just to get rid of any ammo left over from previous matches; I had just bought 500 so me and my brothers and dad were so freaking chuffed.)
Chest: 1 non-kill
Hands: 6 or 7 no kills (5 or 6 of those being during the FFA)
Back: 2 non-kills, 1 kill
Elbow: 1 uncertain (it was raining hard so we couldn’t tell, but I took it as a kill to play it safe)
Legs: 1 non-kill (though it gave me a dead leg!)
Equipment: 1 kill, 2 or 3 non-kills
Hit Count (from me)
Chest: 1 kill, 2 non-kill (all in a row; the first one splattered so the other 2 that also went off don’t count)
Face: 1 hit (I think. Pretty sure it went off, but I couldn’t see clearly through the rain.)
Bruise Count: None (on me, my brother got a nasty mark on his chin, and I’m sure my other brothers, dad, uncle and cousins all have a few bruises, since as they put it, they went “gung ho!” while I took a defensive position.
I also survived about 3 matches right to the end (though the 3 shots to the back were all in the last 30 seconds of one, so it would’ve been 4 if someone had been defending the window behind me 
I also walked away with a big streak of yellow paint across my forehead where it had leaked inside my mask, slightly dyed hair and paint splatter on my glasses, of all places. I also got some in my mouth, which my dearest cousin just said “oh, that was suicide. She was determined not to be taken alive.”
How I would have done in an actual combat situation: lose several fingers in the first few seconds, be shot repeatedly more times than could be actually included in the above tally, before being headshot and dying.
In a sea of yellow.
Got back and found I could hardly walk anymore, could barely see through my glasses, and ache like nobodys business, and the coldness effected me a lot more once we were no longer running around (screaming in terror, in my case)
Long story short, I had a great time…being target practice.
So…what did you guys do yesterday?
