Now that I think of it, paintball and airsoft aren't too different from this. Last Airsoft game I played, I made a big company banner and waved it the whole game, and had a foam sword I occasionally hit people with. And, when we were playing our annual big paintball game, we had a narrative to go along with it.

I know at least a quarter, most likely more, of Darkonians also either play paintball or airsoft.

The one girl they interviewed was cute.

Untouchable by many of the man-boys.

You'd be surprised. Not saying anything about anyone in the video, but a lot of Darkon gals have a bit of a...reputation.

did he seriously just say lord of the rings has boring dialogue?

"you ignorant slut"

[Palillos1337]

Wow you're the biggest dick i've ever heard of. How are you gonna down on people for doing their own hobbies? You're unbelievable. But I guess there will always be assholes in the world.

This movie is great and entertaining. I don't have the balls to do something like this but it is great to see people do this kind of stuff. People may talk crap about this but I see this no different from other sports practiced. (btw, when they burned down the Citadel of Peach, can't they be charged with arson for that?)

Anyone got a WarHammer 40,000 version? I want to play as the Imperium as ether a Space Marine or an Imperial guard. "WE ARE THE SPACE MARINES! WE ARE THE EMPEROR'S FURY!"

[coolbrandon92]

Doing this maybe this Sunday.

What's with that lazy douche in the mechanized wheelchair? Why can't he use a regular one? Lazy unfit douche.

A lot of people say that we are losers or nerds for doing this, and all I have to say to that is this; try it. It's an extremely physical sport and the fighting actually gets pretty intense. The weapons are fake, but the stakes are very real. In sports like football, you get hit a few times and then sit down for a while to rest. In this, the battles last for hours and sometimes to the last man. Like I said, if you want to know why we do it, try it.

It's ironic that the news reader said that Lord of the Rings has boring dialogue and at also said:

"Ordinary men and women chase extraordinary dreams because inside, their costumes never come off"

Irony or hypocrisy, perhaps both.
