2008 October 19 Paintball at Global Gutz, Army Adventure Zone, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig

Played paintball at Fort Bonifacio. There are actually two fields in Fort Bonifacio: a skirmish/scenario field at the Army Gym and a speedball field at the Army Adventure Zone. We went to the latter. We were supposed to start playing at 9 but arrived at 9:30, started playing at 12, and ended at 2. I don’t know why we always end up starting late when it comes to paintball. It’s so irritating.

There was supposed to be ten of us but for some reason, the other team got horribly lost or something so there was just five of us. We teamed up two (Ian and Edong) versus three (James, Michelle, and I). Needless to say, numbers carried the day but there was a match or two when they actually won.

After months without playing, I can say paintball is still quite fun. It’s too bad that it’s kind of dying due to the rapid spread of airsoft. Even the owner of the field has caved in and opened an airsoft field. Would have been nice to switch (back) but the problem with airsoft, and one of the reasons I quit, is the honesty, or the general lack of it, of the ever increasing number of so-called airsoft players. This has led to a race in the amount of pellets you can carry and the power of your gun. That plus the emphasis on form over function. Not at all good.
