Paintball - More Fun Than Staying Home Playing Video Games

By Jerry Manuel


Paintball rocks my socks off. I don't say that often, but in the case of paintball I wholeheartedly love to play it. It is such a thrilling sport to play, but is it more thrilling than a movie or video game? In this article I'll briefly compare paintball vs. movies and video games.

Like to watch movies? Like to play video games? If you do, you probably know that excited, thrilling feeling you get when you are really involved in the video game or the video you are watching.

Instead of watching, or controlling a video game character you get to experience it in real life. No sitting down, no thumb controls, we are talking real life. You hear the paintballs whizzing by your head and teammates yelling for support, and the sounds you hear don't come from speakers.

The realism many people strive for in movies, and video games will never replace experiencing an exciting activity like paintball in real life. You can continue to get the best surround sound systems, the highest definition TV, and try to make a video game or movie as realistic as possible, but watching a movie or playing a video game for me will never be as thrilling as playing a paintball game, in real life.

Take away the violence, killing, and real guns in movies and video games and replace it with a paintball gun with paintballs and you get a real experience that is better than a movie.

Paintball offers game play that all offer something different. Scenarios appeal to those who want to simulate war, speedball is great for players who want constant action, and recreational play is good for people who just want to have fun.

While I do like to watch movies and play video games, the real life thrill and excitement I experience in paintball is much more appealing to me than sitting in a chair watching a movie, or exercising my thumbs playing a video game.
