Giant Big Game 44, Splat-Tag (Hudson WI) June 4th

[Carlito[]

Double ion could be fun, but probably kind of hard to handle in the cramped tank. I'm planning on shooting my mag, I think paperboy said he's going with a mech cocker of some sort.

I warned Sara, you'll be hanging out with a bunch of weirdos all weekend. And that didnt scare her off so i think it should be all good.

Is there a back on the rear seat now? Last time I sat in the tank was too much of a core workout, lol.

Yeah, if that doesn't scare her she's good. Unfortunately, Dave isn't coming... So she will be spared that, lol.

[BrickHaus]

Aw man. I hope Dave is doing good.

[glaman5266]

Yeah, he’s good. He bought a house, so he’s not going to play for a bit. Understandable.

No new seat in the back. I've got a portable stadium seat that I use. I feel like a mounted seat would just get on the way. I just got done helping Boom load his trailer up. He's heading to the field tonight. I'll be there early afternoon tomorrow hopefully.

I'll probably get there around 1pm this afternoon. Will be on the lookout for the group.

Thanks again gentlemen (and ladies) for the wonderful time. A good drama free weekend of paintball. Just like it supposed to be.

[Blackmagic71]

That was a very enjoyable game.

To my knowledge I didn’t bump into any of you fine folks, but in general everybody I spoke with was very chill.

Also seemed to be a lot of younger players out having fun which is always great to see.

How big was it just out of curiosity

My guess is in the 350 range (give or take).

They might release an official number on their Facebook.

[glaman5266]

I forget the exact number, but during the awards at the end I believe they said there were 430-some players.

Looks like the next Giant Big Game is scheduled for September 24th, 2023.

What a great time! It was awesome to put faces to names and be able to participate in an event like that. The heat was definitely a factor, but I'll take it over rain. Paint shot good enough for me, and I got a bunch of photos and videos. The "Dye-pneu-mag" as I'm going to call it, was an absolute blast to play with.

Lots of youger players, which is great to see. The group that camped next to me were from Iowa, and they had two boys with them that were both younger than 16.

Final battle was crazy, just tons of smoke and constant paint in the air, should make for some great video clips.

Today, I am tired. Could probably use an extra 6 hrs of sleep. Looks like I could make it up for the fall game, as I only have a tournament on that Saturday.

[glaman5266]

We’re happy you guys came out. Hope to see you over there again.

Photos will be slowly going up in this Flickr album for folks to see: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAGBqC

Edit: Feel free to download and use the pics from Flickr. I only ask you leave the watermark in them.

Video(s) will be going up on my YouTube through the month.

[zinger565]

Full album is now on Flickr. Feel free to download and use those pictures, it's my gift to the MCB community. They're pretty high quality (85/100 on my export slider). If you want prints of anything, or just absolute highest quality, let me know the picture name (DSC#####) and I can get you the full quality version for use, as well as suggest a few print shops that have treated me well in the past.

Seriously. Please share these. I get joy out of seeing other's joy.

June 2nd this year? Anyways, excited to make the trip up again!

Me, keeks, jaggedx, brick are confirmed so far. I'm assuming Glaman and crew for Woodland Security will be in full force, per normal. I'm all in for this, just as long as they aren't burning railroad ties again this year. Really killed my groove, and sinuses.
