I hear you out there, “BUT STEVE! I want to
play paintball!” Me too young grasshopper, me
too. In April, I was supposed to be in Illinois for
Monte Casino playing along side Bud Orr and
Dan Colby, and then later in the month Texas
NXL. It is what it is unfortunately.
So now the big question is how do we stay sane
and get our paintball fix while being locked in
the house? I’m assuming that since you are
reading this you have already read through all
the back issues of Paintball Media magazine. If
you haven’t, go do that now… I’ll wait…
will leave that up to you. I would however

favourite paintball content channels to watch

be shy! Now on to my favourites. My personal

am going to keep my suggestions to things
that are free. This leaves you with three basic
categories. Podcasts, Video podcasts/YouTube
and video games.
Video podcasts and Youtube
There is SO MUCH paintball content on
YouTube that it’s insane. You already know
about GoSports, PbNation and the truly
fantastic channel Paintball.Media. Their
content is second to none. Most of the paintball

to do something different. ShootUSoon is an
interesting YouTube channel by a guy known as
Reaper. He’s been in the scenario scene for a
very long time and travels a lot. His videos are
short and fun. I really like the recent content
that Paintball Ruined My Life is putting out.
He’s extremely honest about his opinions and
definitely has original thoughts. You can tell
that he truly loves the game.
