this show is unwatchable!
The “life style” part seems kind of silly, almost an after thought. Like a half hearted “Real World” wannabe…but far worse.
As for the games they show(all taken from one tournament form what I read)…..they confuse the heck out of me. I cant follow it to save my life. Maybe I am dense…but I have played paintball and I find it almost impossible to watch….how can they expect someone with zero knowledge of the game to understand whats going on.
The commentator is…umm…not so good.
Camera work is fair…but you cant really see the action, and its really hard to tell when someone got shot.
The “kill counter” on the top of the screen…takes like 1/3 of the screen space!
Uggghhh.
If this is what paintball on TV is supposed to be…then no thanks.
I don’t claim to have any clue as to how to make paintball work on TV….but I do know this is NOT it.
