Today I played Skirmish with all my fellow geeks from the School of Mechanical Engineering. I learnt several things:
- My pain threshold is a lot lower than I thought it was.
- I act like a little sissy boy when I know that pain is approaching.
- I can’t run as fast as I ultimately desire!
- It really hurts to get hit by a paintball that is more dense than concrete.
- I tend to swear profusely if I experience more pain than I needed to.
Would I do it again? It depends! If I organise it, I’m going to be making sure that I set an upper limit of how many paintballs each player is allowed to use for the day, as it seems to be disadvantageous to have thousands of rounds coming your way, when you only have a few rounds to expend on your enemy.
This is my favourite photo of the day, of James.
