EGO Ink !

Image
We have seen lots of different Planet Eclipse cool stuff and this isn't the first Tattoo with have seen. It's possibly the strangest and it comes with a cool little story as well. The guy with the Ink is Justin Geidiman. He's 31 years old and a dorito runner for the East Valley Stars....plays at the d3 level from Queen Creek, AZ Justins Team Mate 'Blake Hunter' told us this story: It took me 3 years to convince Justin to switch to Planet Eclipse....ask him urself.. Justin was a diehard Bob Long Fan...finally after enough problems with a "cursed" Marq...I got him to buy an Ego8....he was hooked and never thought about shootin another brand...he loved how much the Ego had changed his game...he decided he wanted a token of that..by gettin this tattoo....unfortunately he no longer owns this Ego...he has upgraded to a Vicious Geo Well i just wanted to let you guys know the story behind the tat....myself and him are some DIE HARD PE owner's....

FallDown Winner !!!

Image
Well, what can I say. My score was holding strong for a while, then it seemed like every paintball field or tournament i visted there was always someone pulling out there iPhone and showing me a score that beat my highest. Not by a great deal but enough.. Since they did a little update my scores have been rubbish. I think Kayla Brem knocked the wind out of my Sails a little with her score of 348 (kicking her husbands ass in the process I beleive :-), but the deadline for scores was today and what do we find in our in-box, this massive score of 394 from Taylor Harsanye... So thats it Taylor Harsanye is the Planet Eclipse King of FallDown... Well Done... Total respect (i'm a little upset and I think that App is about to be deleted). Keep your eye's on the Blog as i will be posting up the next challenge very soon.... :-) LEDZ

Dr Geeks In LOVE !

Image
Dr Geek considers himself ‘down with the kids’. The other Day Dr Geek decides to be all romantic and buy his girlfriend a packet of Love Hearts Sweet (Candy)… Now in the past you would find little messages on each piece of candy that said ‘Kiss Me’ ‘I’m yours’ ‘Be Mine’ or ‘Love You’ etc…. But when Dr Geek gave his girlfriend the candy he was amazed at what he saw… Since when has ‘E-Mail’ or ‘Hard Luck’ been romantic??? And what is Ali G doing with one saying’ Me Julie Best Mum’ WRONG !! Other messages in the packet: ‘Hi Baby’ ….. Not Bad. ‘Dream On’ ‘Hot Lips’ ‘Bless You’…. Something your Gran might say. ‘Hi Love’ ‘Keep Cool’

RARE Hybrid EGO9/10 4 Sale on Ebay

Image
I thought you might like a little heads up grabbing something quite rare and a little special.... On Saturday the 27th March @ 10:00pm GMT (3:00pm PDT) the first of 3 Hybrid EGO9/10 EGO's will go up on Ebay.. IT WILL NOT BE LIVE UNTIL THEN.... Once that one sells we will put up the second one on ebay. Starting price is $0.99.. So someone could get a BARGAIN !!! Click Here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260573978267&ssPageName=STRK:MESCX:IT During the development of every new model there comes a stage when we are 90% happy with the design and modifications and want to start field testing. For obvious reasons it is virtually impossible to field test with anything that looks like a finished product, because paintball players are a canny bunch and would notice that what we were playing with was different from what we were currently selling. So in order to test new parts or theories or designs we often create test mules, or hybrids. Hybrids are often older g

IMPACT WIN !!!

Image
The 2009/10 Off-Season has been one of the most dramatic for a long time with teams folding, merging, bumping up or simply adding new strength to their squads. But after a long wait the 2010 season was now kicked off. The First PSP of 2010 has just finished in Phoenix and the Planet Eclipse teams have hit the floor running…. The PSP Pro bracket is now 10 teams strong with 50% of all Players in the PSP Pro Bracket shooting Planet Eclipse Ego’s or Geo’s…… Edmonton Impact had a traumatic event to say the least, with some of the team having to fly back to Canada for a funeral on the Saturday and then back to Phoenix to Battle for the Pro Championship on the Sunday. After making the finals (by the skin of their teeth) they first knocked out Dynasty (6-5), Then LA Infamous (7-4) in the semi finals and to round off an amazing weekend Impact beat Damage (7-4) after being down 3-1 . Owner of Edmonton Impact, Bart and the team have been so close in the past to winning their first Pro event. But

Nuclear Peppers Soon?

Image
I knew the hot sauces I like are HOT. Especially when you touch your eyes (or other parts of the body that will not be spoken about in public) !!! But I never expected them to be 'Weapons Grade' Hot !!! Here is a little story that made me laugh and smile all at the same time.. The Bhut Jolokia is the same pepper that we use in the 'Fire It Up - Extreme' Planet Eclipse Hot Sauce. I can't guarantee it will stop terrorists or it will spice up you food and get the bland bandits running for cover. Read Article LEDZ

Planets NEW Web Site.

Image
After what seems years of development (I'll probably get a slap for saying that) the NEW Planet Eclipse web site is now LIVE. http://www.planeteclipse.com/ It's taking awhile to propagate so might not show up correctly on everyone’s computers, this could take up to 48 hours. We would really like to hear your feedback on the new site, any comments, suggestions or errors you find will be greatly appreciated. We hope you like our new home :-) (Nice Work Paul & Kate)....

Coming Soon...... ????

Stay tuned for more information.

I hate losing !!!!

Image
It looks like my score has been smashed.... Stoney managed to overtake me on 316 for the whole of last week (which reallllyyyy got on my nerves) but when we came into work this morning there were a few other scores that battered us both.... Here is the current leader. Still one week to go !!!! If you want to join in here is a copy of my original post.... ................................................................................ If you have an iPhone you probably love it and have loads of Apps. Now the games are good, some are amazing but the ones you just keep going back to over and over again because they are so addictive are brilliant and frustrating all in the same App. Well, my current favourite is FallDown! It’s a FREE App and super simple, super additive and super frustrating. Stoney and I have been having a running battle for a couple of weeks (To be honest it’s like taking Candy from a baby). I think he’s hanging around the 280 Mark.. Here is a screen shot of my highest s

Thistle do!

Image
This is weird… Colour blindness is something that is hard to understand unless you have it. But this weird eye/mind thing is probably something explainable I just don’t know what it is… But I’m sure one of you will know. I even asked our resident expert Dr Geek and he was very baffled. For whatever reason when you take a picture of the Thistle SLS Markers, the colour the camera sees is different to your eye's. We have taken several pictures and colour corrected them but even from monitor screen to monitor screen the Thistle SLS Markers look different… Aaaaarrrrggghhhh. We have updated the images on the web site and here (below) but again from screen to screen this might be different. I guess it’s an issue we will always have with what our minds eye’s see and what a computer sees. You can clearly see the difference here from the colour corrected image (which is a lot closer to what it ACTUALLY looks like) compared to the image in the Dr Geek picture. So, who knows why? Let's hea

iPhone App Software Developer Wanted !!!

Image
Everyone that knows me will know that Computers and the whole IT thing is something that flies right over my head. I have the ideas but actually putting them into practise is something completely different. Luckily, I have a great bunch of staff around me that are brilliant at their jobs and can normally take my ramblings and turn them into something a lot better than what I wanted in the first place. As a pretty recent iPhone owner I have been thinking about ‘Apps’ and I think I have some good ideas for making a couple. This is where I would normally go and see the Design department and they would make the magic happen. But in this case they are just too busy doing proper work and it’s also outside of their skill sets, so I thought I’d see if there is anyone out there that would like to work with me on a couple of iPhone / iTouch / iPad Apps?? Now before I get a bunch of App developers’ sending me quotes for tens of thousand dollars... forget it. I’m looking at someone that wants to w

Rivalry Teaser !

Image
In April 2010 the latest and may I say greatest Planet Eclipse ETV DVD thus far will be out: EMORTAL 2. The DVD is packed with stuff (more details soon). There are a couple of never seen before pieces on there as well. One of these pieces is Rivalry: A story about the year long battle in 2009 between Vicious and XSV in the PSP Semi-Pro Bracket. We think the Rivalry Piece is one of the very best ETV Pieces that we have ever produced. It's about 50 minutes long and you will be able to watch the whole thing on the DVD very soon. But to give you a little taste here is the Rivalry Trailer:

The team will be representing Planet Eclipse throughout the year in a multitude of ways including but not limited to, exclusively using Planet Eclipse Markers and Performance gear, hosting tournaments and events, and showcasing Eclipse in their season long documentary titled “Two Thousand Ten” being filmed and produced by Visions Edge. “We are all extremely grateful to be representing Planet Eclipse in 2010” says Mike Revelle the team captain and founder. “Many of us already shoot Planet Eclipse Markers and are awestruck every year by the performance of each year’s newer model.

Boob Camp Report.

Image
While most of the men are tucked up in bed because the snow is too cold for them the Girls for Fat Lady's Charms are up and about training hard and showing off there skills to ladies ballers at there boobcamps. We ask Sofia about the first one of 2010. Sofia: The boobcamp went great, all girls were very pleased with the whole weekend. The girls made it even though we struggled with trains, flights and the huge amounts of snow on the roads due to the snowstorm that hit Sweden that weekend. One car hit a big pile of snow and had to be "shoveled" out. Sebban from Joy had a tuff schedule for the girls and all of us went home tired but with a lot of new drills and excersises to practise on. Blog: So what about the boys, when do they get to join in? Sofia:Well, this summer we are planning a new Boobcamp, but outdoors of course. We think we will invite guys as well this time because it seems as if there are several that are interesed in coming (blog: I wonder why !!!) As soon as
