  • Is Paintball Ready For TV?

    Is Paintball Ready For TV?
    2026/04/15
    n this stream, I take a deep dive into the big question: Is paintball finally ready for TV? [03:08] I look back at the early 2000s era of PSP and NPPL on ESPN and compare it to the high-tech production capabilities we have now, like drones and barrel cams [04:42]. I also share my thoughts on why 5-man might be more interesting for seasoned players, while 3-man could be the key to catching a new audience's eye [06:51]. Beyond the TV talk, I’m recapping the International Classic Paintball League (ICPL) results from Ambush Paintball Park [22:53]. It was a wild weekend with the All-Americans edging out Aftershock by a single point in the Pro-Am 10-man [22:32]. I also spend some time answering your questions on the new Carbon DRV loader [26:11], discuss the "dying art" of paintball print media with Nigel D'Souza's new photo book [32:26], and riff on some classic gear like the Automag and the "loudest hopper ever made" [01:29:12].

I start things off by breaking down some major roster changes, including New York Extreme adding three new players and CJ Caner making the move to the Ironmen.

I decided to go stats-heavy this week, analyzing career win percentages for legends like Konstantin Fedorov and looking at the latest rankings from PB Leagues and Paintball Pick'em. Later, I break down several match highlights, from LJ Parish getting covered in paint to the "jumbotron sniping" during the Damage vs. Red Legion match.

    2026/03/24
    I just got back from two intense days at the NXL Tampa Bay Open, and there is a lot to unpack. In this episode, I’m breaking down my personal experience inside the stadium—from the pirate ship views to the surprisingly fast-paced gameplay.

I also discuss the new NXL rules that replaced margin with point-scoring incentives, which visually sped up the game even if the stats tell a slightly different story. Plus, I share my thoughts on the "Hall of Icons" inductees, highlights from the 3v3 and WNXL divisions, and some behind-the-scenes stories from the Major League Paintball production crew.

    Effect of Rate Of Fire, Glowball Lens Test, and More New
    2026/02/24
    In tonight’s live stream, I’m tackling the big question: could stricter gun rules actually lead to more innovation? I look at the history of the rate-of-fire wars [06:04] and compare our sport to Formula 1, wondering if limiting things like tank size [11:54] would push manufacturers to find new ways to give players an edge. I also get hands-on with a blacklight test for Glow Ball [22:24]. I noticed a weird haze in certain lenses during night games, so I tested the Dye i5 versus the Carbon Zero to see which ones hold up under UV light. The results were pretty eye-opening! On the news front, we discuss Chad George joining Edmonton Impact [17:37] and the long-awaited return of Ninja Paintball to the tank market [50:50]. I also share my excitement for the upcoming MLP stadium event in Tampa [34:22] and why the mechanical 10-man renaissance is bringing so many veteran players back to the field. Thanks for supporting the channel and dicking around with me tonight! https://youtu.be/OC-cI48G4w8
