I spent the whole of saturday paintballing. Apart from suffering from aching legs and the required bruises paintballings such a cool sport, although very expensive.

Over in the states some geeks are organising what can only be described as the greatest paintballing weekend ever. Paintballing + Geeks = Techwars.

It is a 50 acre, 100 man, 2 day paintball battle of high-tech soldiers combating in the unrelenting Maritime wilderness. Each army will utilize any technological means necessary to help gain an advantage including breaching the security of the enemy technology. Knowledge, IT, and security are the keys to winning the war.

The problem with paintballing normally (as I did) is the games last only about 10minutes and the arenas are pretty small. It also ends up as a free for all within your teams with noone organising tactics or having time to decide tactics.

I hope someone organises a UK version of Techwars!
