View Full Version : Ping-pong killed my paintball addiction

I couldn't stop thinking about paintball for several weeks. I made lego speedball arenas and looked through eBay for stuff for my gun. I practiced snap shooting behind the couches in my basement.
But then I discovered the wonderful game of table tenis, know by the street name "Ping-pong". First developed by Chinese gangsters and popularized by Forrest Gump, ping-pong is a fast and furious game in which you must continue fight off your opponent's vollies of a plastic ball and fire it back at him. I started playing this game at my Aunt's house and now I can't stop. Step aside paintball, ping-pong is the sport of the future.
If I don't play paintball soon, I may play ping-pong forever! I want to buy upgrades for my paddle but I can't find any! Please help me!

Here's another addiction to tide over your ping-pong addiction to tide over your paintball addiction. (But go easy, soon you'll need crack to cover all of your other addictions)

sorry bud, the ping-pong boom you're looking for has long since passed.
it probably happened mid-late eighties. before forrest gump.
these days ping-pong tables are often used for collecting dust and the bottom houses insects.
if ya wanna play a real table game take up pool. 8-ball, 9-ball, the works, you'll be able to make some money, and there's tons of upgrades. pool is lifeless, it'll be the greatest table game forever, it's outlasted pingpong, air hockey and all the crappy ones that no one's heard of
but did it outlast pogs? oh wait, even the yo yo fad outlasted that.

Good call Simon! Pool is by far better.
Crash- Hope you get over this little addiction that you have. It's sad to see people get lost to ping pong. :crazy:

Yeah, the computer's a *****. You might also notice he gets 40 points for every ball he wins, and you only get 20. So, in order to beat him you need to win 14 balls. Still, I beat him almost every time now. Eventually you get to where you can just send the ball to any place you want.... wow, my life is sad.
