Is Paintball More Awesome Than Playing Video Games?

By Jerry Manuel


What a fantastic sport paintball is. There are tons of reasons why I like to play it as much as I can, but this article will give you only a few of them. As I am writing this I can't wait to play paintball again. Here I will tell you why I think paintball is better than watching movies.

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.

While you are trying to eliminate other players by hitting them with a paintball, you aren't trying to kill them like in war. It is a friendly competition sport and the idea is comparable to games like dodge ball, or laser tag, except instead of trying to hit opponents with a ball or laser, you are trying to tag them with a paintball.

It's awesome to watch a movie with a realistic sound system and high definition TV, or play a video game with realistic graphics and feel like you are actually in the video game, but nothing will ever replace the realism of real life experiences. I would much rather experience the action found in a paintball game in real life, then to watch a movie or play a "realistic" video game.

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.

If you want to simulate war, paintball has scenario games where hundreds to thousands of paintball players get together and pretend like they are in war, except in this simulated war, no one dies.

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.
