As far as being shy, just join and play. Mic or not, you will enjoy the commentary during your game play. XI has a has a wide range of personalities from around the world. Lasting members and a literal melting pot of the gaming community. Join, shoot, have fun and communicate at your preferred method. Edit: You have better more stats and have been around way longer than me, yes sir, no sir , !fu and a big middle thumbs up to ya! Welcome back!

My setup is coming slowly. Especially for the COD4 servers. If you see me and I don't answer I still don't have my mic set up in-game so I can respond. Give me some time as I am a little shy joining in the games as its been so long. I do miss it and you all!

3rd one in on the right side with the soul patch and sun hat?

Does anyone play around with Raspberry Pi or Arduino projects/programing? If so, what have you worked on so far? I watched some videos on it last week and want to get my kids into it. Mostly for fun, but I'm hoping they pick up the circuitry and programming aspect of it.

@Hoth we played the Navarone several times and even beat them on their home field in 87 in a best of 5 match of CTF 25vs25. But in all fairness they we still so cocky they were using stock Sheridan pumps that heal 10 balls and a 10gr cartridge was only good for about 20 shots before it started not shooting very far. We also played against the Bushmasters as well and they all wore Ghillie Suits but once we started attacking those suits made it hard to move fast enough to avoid getting shot. just hard to find the paint on those suits. Some of your old mags probably have pictures of guys I played with in Manufacturers ads since some of the guys who were single and played way too much became some of the first STARS of the Game. One guy always was featured wearing a dress suit because that was how he played. No Camo for him he just was fast, the left gunner/wing man while i played Right Gunner/wing and he knew he was going to be seen since we were both running top speed as far up the field we could get in an attempt the start the fight on the other teams half of the map. Plus it made the not reach the cover they hoped to reach. So if we could gain that much ground in the first 30 seconds of a 30 minute game it was hard for them to win. Good Times and you are right I was killed so many times with a paintball sometimes at point blank range I knew Real War was not for me because I am not the kind to hide in a cave. I got up and encouraged a firefight because I always had them off guard and made many run away out of fear which allowed me to take more of the side flank to keep them from getting around our main attack forces. Great Memories and I still have my camo field jacket/shirt with my team patches and sponsor patches from 35+ years ago. My first Silencer was a metal tube slightly larger then the barrel and it slipped on and the sight bead held it in place and was drilled with many holes and covered in wading to catch the air/sound and then covered in a think black rubber like material that could be shrunk to fit with a heat gun so it looked sharp and fit in your slide cargo between games so the other team couldn't bitch about them. Plus we had a set screw put in the back of our modified guns in the piece you removed to access to spring and allen wrenches in our pockets. This way we could dial in the speed to pass the crono test as you entered the field and then before they blow the starting horn we could tighten to set screw and gat another 25 feet per second out of our guns and not blow balls in the barrel be gave us a bit more range and didn't need to lob the paint in. I could go on and on. Loved playing that game sofakingmuch

We just named our animals we planned to eat "Dinner", it bothered our Mom the first time but she figured out she wanted to call it something at feeding time and by calling the Steer each year Dinner kept her from getting to attached and more grounded in the reality of the money the family spent to but it, feed it and keep it healthy and well as the grain we gave it at the end to marble it up. It all worked out and in the mid 70's with 3 teenage boys it was the most bang for our food budget plus we knew the quality of the meat and that it was grass fed and well taken care of and treated in the most humane way possible. Advantage of having 45 acres of grassy ranch land in the foothills of Northern California in the mid 70's. Plus we had horses and even raised a Pig and the property next to my parents Ranch was 5000 acres of BLM land so the deer were also plentiful and in our freezer. Calif had a nuisance law that allowed farmers and ranchers with fenced property to kill deer that got in to their vegetable garden so ours was growing 10 months a year. This gave my Dad the right to remove them and harvest them. Any way to save money and keep us from going hungry. I can relate to your comment about CHANGE. It is the only constant thing in life and something that is hard to fight. When we stop learning is when our brains start to die and then our body follows. Nice read and you are always welcome to play on the COD2 TDM servers. We play every weekend from about 9am your time until 1pm Saturday and Sunday and it is the same group with many long time >XI< members. We always love meeting newer members to the Original >XI< servers where it all started and killing them lol. Look forward to seeing you sometime soon. If you dont have the game I have a few copies of the game you can load using a disk drive including a good key code I could send you from free since I now use Steam, but the game is fairly cheap there as well. just using the version 1.3 so you have to update it after you download. DM me if you are interested

Magfed would be more your type of game where accuracy is king, semi auto and limited rounds per clip,(19 to 20). my pistol takes 8 gram cartridges and holds 6 shots....Oh and First Strikes ...Oh yeah, they are that good. My sniper rifle will get headshots at 70 yards easy....My T15 marker has my red dot zeroed at 45 yards....Speedballers hate me on certain fields...lol

This is absolutely amazing

This is awesome.

friday i get the other calf done.my guy is always booked .i do the same thing when i go.this time its fast someone canceled when i was there last week so i jumped in .enjoy the new teeth

@Unarmed

Looking great mate

Lookin good, Stormy!

Looks great my guy! Happy for you.

@Streetcleaner Thanks for sharing. I have never played that flavor but it does look fun. Long forgotten Tactics, stealth and accuracy jump out at me. You want to see something comical put a pump, 12 gram gun in the hands of someone who has only used a electronic semi auto gun. The have no clue what accuracy is lol. I will say from the tests I've seen First strike rounds shooting twice as far is a stretch :0 I would like to test them and their accuracy though. I started in the late 80s with a splatmaster and shop goggles. Then to Sheridan, bushmaster, f1-illistrator, automag etc to name a few. I was never a big auto cocker fan. I was usually up front applying pressure so it didn't really compliment my game. @PHUCKITMAN seems like you were in the mix when the Guns of Navarone from Cali were one of the top dogs. My brother was building loaders, silencers out of pvc in that era as well. Around 1990 I started played leagues and tournaments. My last tournament was a nppl 5 man in 97. The last team I was on half were from Ohio the other half from Richmond Indiana. I still have many of the magazines we were in. We were pretty successful. My job was paying little and most of my money went to paint, field and tournament entry fees. I was broke but had some amazing memories and experiences. We picked up a few sponsors the last couple of years that really helped out. Competitive paintball taught me a lot. How to sacrifice and work if you really wanted to be successful at something. Also to respect firearms. You look at how easily you can be shot by a gun that has limited velocity and range. Compare it to guns that can shoot through trees, walls with insane range. It made me respect people in the military that much more. Thanks to both of you for sharing. I want to get my son to the field to play. It may make me get the itch to get back into it at some level. Ohio Xtreme Zapp Amateur open 5 man winners In 95 (can't seem to get away from that Xtreme name lol) I'm in the Armson hat by Bud Orr. Armson became one of our sponsors after that win. None of us used their barrels though lol.

Good riddance COD @ $100 Hear you go Def

It's actually only a 24 hour drive from where i live. So I suppose I can just do it myself lol

Thanks everyone. Was a rough day yesterday, they are family, and no matter how many times you go through this, it doesn't get any easier.

Hey when they came to see me they actually drove a vehicle lol but the weather is nice so you're probably right.

Sweet ink!!! I have an appt in August for my next one, and ai have no clue what i want to get yet LOL! I am thinking I want the top of my hand done, but stymied on ideas so far LOL Thats the only problem with my guy, you gotta book 6-8 months in advance, so I just make an appt after each time I go and worry about what ill get when the time comes LMAO

Pretty sure they both take the motorcycles.

I'm so sorry for your loss pal.
