It's all the same paintballs.... once you're hit, you're done.

Don't be a pussy, Warden.

Yeah but these guys were using air rifles that shot multiples in succession. They were definitely using rifles that we far an away superior to what we rented from the owner.

C'mon dude, you don't have the pain tolerance for a paintball?? It stings a little and you can't even feel it if you're wearing clothes, but you have so much adrenaline going that you don't even feel it.

I took one in the back of my head, so no...no I don't.

If you do shirtless paintball in the winter, then it might be scary.... (I've done that.... we were young and dumb)

I just like to spend money on electronics. Especially Apple products. I don’t know why. But I have to have the latest electronics. It fucking costs me a bunch. My son and wife have and iPad Pro with the pencil and keyboard. I have an iPhone 7 Plus and so does my wife. Waiting for the iPhone X to come out to purchase for both. I have an Apple TV but I’m about to pick up the 4K model this Saturday. Wife and I have Apple Watch 2 series. Time to upgrade to 3 series. I have a PlayStation 4. Didn’t want my son using mine so I bought him his own PlayStation 4. Just bought my wife a new MacBook Pro 3 weeks ago. This past Saturday I bought myself the AirPods at AT&T. 4K ultra TV in my living room. $900 dollar sound bar system. ****!!!!! You see what I mean. But I fucking love electronics. I don’t know what it is.

Good for you, if you can afford it, great. If you're always broke, take buses everywhere and live in a double wide I would say cut back a bit. I would imagine you take some grief far all the Apple love, but that's your deal.

Have you read through this thread, this is one of the least eccentric collections posted.

I know guys that don't care a bit about E-gadgets, old TV's and phones, but need killer muscle cars, or expensive vacations all over the world every year.

Make enough money and do what ever you want. Except for the actress clothing thing, because, eeeew. I kid Warden because I love him.

Hahaha. I don’t think I’d buy the clothing but it’s interesting. Surprisingly I don’t get a lot of grief. Maybe because I’m not an Apple fan boy. I don’t mind other brands it’s just I’m stuck in this ecosystem. Their products are good too don’t get me wrong but I’m now one of those people picking sides and Shit. I respect what people chose. Not my thing to worry about. I would love to collect classic cars though. Maybe in the future.

There's really only two things you could say I "collect," and both of the are actually kind of useful.

Instruments:
Hyundai G-50A
Kurzweil pc2x
Kimball Xanadu
Cordoba 45LTD
Taylor 214ce
Lanikai SMPTU-T
American Custom BC Rich Warlock
Traditional Tablas
Pearl Export Series w/second bass + three additional tom expansion.

And I think that's it? The local piano tuner came into my place a few months ago and remarked: "dude, you live in a fucking studio." Yeah, pretty much. (all pics are stock Google photos to prevent certain weirdos on here from trying to stalk me further)

Other than that I have a collection of folding knives. I like Spyderco and have several of those, a few CRKTs, a damascus Kershaw, and a few hand-made custom pieces.

Most of us never played before, we were outclassed in every way.

Always loved the Warlocks, but never had or played one. Kershaws are great too.

I like to get growlers from different breweries I visit. I guess that's a collection/hobby.

Most of us never played before, we were outclassed in every way.

We did paintball as part of one of my brother inlaw's bachelor day/party, probably like 20-30 of us, so it was a good 10 vs 10 or more per game.

But one ritual they decided to do was a game of everyone against the bachelor in which you go until you are out of ammo or the bachelor shoots you.... meaning he gets shot a fuckton.

I lit him up initially with everyone else as he fucking terminator walked us down, was quite impressive.

Anyways, about 2 minutes in probably 10 of us were left and largely we were not shooting him in the back, letting him fight it out with small groups.

However, his brother was just standing in cover behind him shooting the bachelor's unprotected back....

I watched this from 10 feet away for about 10 seconds, then I lit the brother up with about 12 shots.... it only seemed fair.

Then when my brother inlaw turned back towards us, I stepped out of cover and walked at him shooting and he lit me up pretty good.

Now I miss paintball.

Top 5 Rock guitarist of all time?

That's really hard -- I mean, there were great song-writing guitarist who couldn't play for shit, but some technical gods that were never great writers -- so, I'd have to break that into categories.

Currently writing/performing: Tosin Abasi. His chops are incredible.
Blues/rock 1: S.R. Vaughn. Had both the chops and the feel.
Blues/rock 2: Gilmour. All feel, great writer, not all that technically impressive.
Sheer technical ability: Vai or Malmsteen.

Honorable mentions: Dimebag, Hendrix, Rhoads, Bettincourt, and could probably go on forever, but those will suffice.

Always loved the Warlocks, but never had or played one. Kershaws are great too.

The low-end B.C. Rich guitars are shit, but if you get into the American Handmade and the Custom models they measure up well against anything in that price-range.
