Reviews: July 2007 Archives
This year has been a bit of a banner year for my paintball habits. While a devoted player (it's my main exercise and stress relief), I'm a bit of a cheapskate. Through hours of play I've often proven that you dont' have to have the best equipment or dump the most paint in order to do well.
As part of Team DesertEdge though, I've been forced into times that I have to "put out" a little more than your average player. When people are depending on you, in a tournament situation, you need to really do your part. That dedication from all of our team has led to a good progression in equipment, and play quality. This year, we reaped some of our first material rewards, a sponsorship from Planet Eclipse. PE is a quite respected manufacturer of higher end paintball equipment, based in the UK. For the last several years, their flagship marker has been the 'Ego' line, which was originally based on an autococker style pneumatic system. A couple of years ago PE decided to branch out with a newer style of marker, and quickly grew a fanbase with the '05 and '06 models.
Starting with the 2007 model, PE re-engineered this system once again, creating a lighter, faster, more compact marker than ever before. So when we were approached with the opportunity to use this new marker, we were quick to sign on. Heck, high end electronics, that shoot, who wouldn't?

Yes, the classic Transformers statement. I just got back from the preview showing, and man was that worth
it. I will say that I went into the movie giddy about finally seeing the darned thing, but with a heavy fear that it was going to be royally screwed up.
Man that was a good movie! A great balance for the non-transformer geek, as well as us geeks. I was also very afraid that the violence would be way overdone, and my son wouldn't be able to watch it. While it is big on action, the gore and others is not there to where I would feel bad for my son to attend (but better watch it without them first to make sure about yours).
Definately a winner. And man which is sexier, Jazz (Pontiac solstice) or Bublebee (with the new camaro look)?
