Since I’ve really been working on this blog, I decided I would post something that I did a VERY long time ago that was quite popular, stickballmovies.

The next few posts will contain EVERYTHING that I published from 2000-2003 online, since the website was taken down a while ago.

This movie was my very first stickball movie, the sole reason for it was to make a kid angry.

On one of the old forums (PaintballCity.com) there was a few individuals who were hellbent on using Tippmann Carbines (Boy , wasn’t that a long time ago) with little tasco 3x scopes. Of course this doesn’t work on paintball guns because they’re normally quite inaccurate. In order to make him mad ,I decided I would try to come up with a graphical representation of his stupidty , and this movie was born.

Coincidentally, A kid I knew at the time also was quite dedicated to tasco scopes, so I decided to model the main movie character after him.

Due to the popularity of the first movie (We got over 350 visits in the first 4 hours) I decided that the movie thing MIGHT just be a good thing to continue, I started to develop a story for my next movie.

A few weeks earlier, a friend of mine told me he was going to buy an Angel Paintball gun. We were all in our early teens, so a $1,400 paintball gun seemed like a stupid idea, and I wanted to poke fun at the situation.

This one was based on several expirances my brother and I had while playing paintball in our early days. We found there were 2 kinds of people who owned paintball equipment : Those who cared about their stuff, and those who didn’t. It was always bothersome to play paintball and run into people who ALWAYS complained about their stuff not working. Surprisingly enough, those who didn’t maintain their gear were the same ones who always complained about having to get it repaired, fixed , or even buying replacement equipment.

This particular cartoon was made becuase of some sandbagging taking place at a local field. I felt bad for some of the newer players that were totally turned off by the sport of paintball due to players treating them poorly.

Once in a while I had the chance to school some of these idiots, and always wished someone better than I would play and school them more.

Thankfully, that’s what this video is about
