This is the 5th section of movies I developed, these are very close to the top tier of videos in terms of quality.

This movie was based on a story I heard about various stock class individuals going to fields and playing against rich kids with expensive guns. I always wanted to do something fun like that, so I wrote a little story about it.

Stickball’s unconventional guide to the future was a pretty neat movie, as there were several ideas in it that were eventually used in markers. The guide series was extremely popular among viewers , and this was the 3rd one I published.

During the time of the series (2000-2002) wiping and other forms of cheating were getting extremely common in tournament play. Many players were (And still are) upset with the level of cheating in the sport. At the time, there were many stories going around about high level professional teams that made a habit of training players to purposely cheat. This was one of my thoughts on solving the problem.

Pickn’ paint was a movie made about the significant amount of rec players I knew that had a habit of walking a field to re-use paintballs. Of course this leads to problems with a marker, but never the less I think everyone knew “That Guy” who was so cheap they tried to reuse them.

As time went on , the following continued to gain ground, and I started putting together more elaborate movies, Some were quite prophetic with gun designs that would take place a year or two down the road.

This was a guide I put together to make fun of plenty of paintball guns.

Please note, there is a loading issue with this movie, you MAY have to right click > click play to get it unstuck.

A story was going around at a major tournament where a vendor was selling 40″ paintball barrels, causing guns to jam up and the such. Many on the boards made jokes about it being the same guy who ripped off many players (See pt 2 of our series).

In addition to the issues abroad we had a major lemming situation going on at the local fields. One individual decided on purchasing a 18″ Smart Parts All American Barrel for his Tippmann 98 (not a custom mind you , this was before they were made). Just like a bunch of kids do, EVERYONE at the field bought one, regardless of whether they worked or not.

I made this movie to make fun of them

Also , click on the O at the end of the movie, we started to throw Easter Eggs in with some movies.

This movie is pretty much true-to-life concerning a game I played at the local field. In a 3 on 3 match (2 Newbies on my team, and 3 on the other) I proceeded to run up the middle, and tag 2 of the 3 before being eliminated. The surviving player from the opposing team was hiding in a large water trough used as a middle bunker. The game in absolute seriousness lasted a minimum of 5 minutes in which the 2 newbies could not figure a way to eliminate the player in the water trough. We made fun of them for not figuring out how to solve the situation. To add to the comedic value , the player in the middle bunker never aimed at the other players (I assume he was too scared) and fired his paintball gun in the air.

I worked quite hard on getting this one out for Christmas of 2002 (I think it was ’02). There was quite vivid discussion on the forums and chat to whether santa would play paintball, and if he did, how good he’d be.

Here is part 3 of the stickball movies, covering the “Newbie Mistake Series”

These movies were done well into the stickball movie run, I wanted to see how well short and sweet movies could do that could be produced En-masse rather than the tedious 10-20hr process the prior ones took.

This movie was based on a situation we had where a newbie at the field had asked to shoot a guy’s brand new KAPP Autococker (not a angel like the movie) and proceeded to massively screw the system up. Thankfully it was fixed relatively quick, but the individual branded for quite some time, and no one at the field let him use their gun for many many months.

In this gem of cinema , a player stays on top of a hill for a entire day. This did not happen in my expiration, but something close to it did. During a rec game at a friends farm ,a player was told to “Go hide in the woods and wait for the other team” He proceeded to do so, for several HOURS past the end of the game. It was a very hilarious story to hear from those involved.

This was based on a somewhat true story a friend told me (From the AOL paintball Chat) She wanted to play paintball one day, and a group of guy friends let her go along. They proceeded to treat her quite poorly due to her being a girl.

A similar situation happened to another girl, but in the end she got her revenge, So I melded the stories together and got this movie.
