    I no longer fear giant demons, imps, repitilian-like aliens, military robots, or the illuminati. My life is so much better now.

          WTH is the pause button? I need to stop and think about the strategical situation of life and decide what I'm going to do.

            what kind of face mask? usually if a mask you shouldnt feel anything under 800 fps. Im pretty sure for paintball anything over 340fps is illegal to use in arenas so it shouldnt have been too bad if you were wearing a decent face mask.

              Dude, those things hurt like HE11 if they don't break when they hit you.

                Sure, the hurt like HE11, but do the hurt as much as an agiel wielded by a Mord-Sith?

                  how about fears of not getting plus one's due to a games related thread being posted on Off topic instead of other games? Is there a cure?

                      Very useful for some folks around here.

                        Ones involving drinking.

                        Social situations are easy - I just look for someplace to sit and then try to look as inconspicuous as possible to avoid any unwanted human contact.
