ABOUT
About Baca:
Baca Loco is the forum name I first used at P8ntballer.com and kept when I starting writing for PGi magazine, the late, lamented Paintball Games International. At various times I did gun reviews, event reports, the occasional feature, How-To’s & a monthly column entitled, View from the Deadbox. At one time or another I’ve done most everything you can do in paintball other than own a field or run a tourney series. For the last several years I have coached a number of pro teams and generally made a nuisance of myself whenever possible.
About VIEW FROM THE DEADOX:
One purpose of this blog is to encourage a dialogue about competitive paintball and permitting commenter anonymity is intended to encourage the participation of those who actually know what they are talking about. The rest of you are also welcome, even encouraged, to comment as well. (I don't really need any encouragement.)
The other purpose of this blog is to provide a focus for my attention deficit disorder and hold boredom at bay.
About my views:
Brilliant, visionary and almost always correct. Get used to it. Oh, and I'm humble too. Feel free to disagree as long as you are prepared to be wrong.

FAQ
How is paintball like golf? Golf is played outdoors on nice, well kept grass or, if something goes horribly wrong, off in the woods. Same with paintball.
How is a paintball made? What am I, Wikipedia?
Who are your sponsors? Who hasn't been one of my sponsors? I won't be trying to promote current sponsors on this blog nor will I take shots at non-sponsors. I don't give gun, goggle or gear advice so it really doesn't matter.
What's your view on cheating? It's wrong and has no place in the game. That's why I don't play scenario or Big Games.
What's your favorite marker? The free one.
Where did that awesome photo come from in the blog header? It is the work of photographer extraordinaire, Brandon Showers or the vixen with a Nikon (or maybe a Canon) Meagan Foster.
What's your favorite team? Grow up.
Who started the Rec vs. Tourney war? Some will say that's just the way it's always been. Others claim it's natural for the sides to be at odds. I say, aren't we all brothers under the goggles? I'm not sure but ask yourself who benefits? Follow the money. Could it be a covert plot of the Military Simulation Industrial Complex? As long as the war rages on there will be a demand for more paint, more markers and Big Paintball will continue to count its profits instead of the cost. Give peace a chance. That's all that I'm saying.
How do I get sponsored? You don't.
Will you send me any free stuff if I tell you what a big fan I am? No.
Is agg dead yet? Yes, it's time to move on to some new uber hip trendiness that everyone can follow to demonstrate their individuality.
Is it true the inside of Ollie Lang's gearbag smells like roses? No, strawberries and cream.
You don't really know any Pro players, do you? Rats, you caught me out.
What makes your opinion so important? It's my blog, d'oh! And has already been noted I'm almost always correct. There's quite a lot to be said for being right.

I would ask KEE to pick on someone their own size, buy there isn't exactly an APPA to prevent sandbagging for this sort of thing.
Who said they were starting it? :)
There's definitely a rivalry of sorts...When this happens, it's gonna happen suddenly and turn bloody
wow valkens pants and packs look way too similar to KEE (Empire) ones
I know, they have knee pads and pod loops and everything!!!
I wonder if they have spies at kee?
Sooner it goers hot the better. That sort of thing is great fior stores & Fields.
Be thankful that valken are ready to rumble, otherwise we KEE would basically be able to do whatever they like.
Be careful what you wish for. If Kee want to rough Valken up, they will - just be sure not to get caught in the resulting shitstorm. Burning bridges is very easy...
Kee has alot to Lose.
Valken has alot to Gain.
I feel a bit sorry for Kee. They act for the most part like a real business in a real industry. Most of the respectable field owners I am in contact with want nothing to do with Gino and the gang. But business is business and I'm sure Valken is a sore in Kee's side.
Anon is right, Kee has a lot to lose and Valken has a lot to gain.
Reiner,
Which Gino?
I think the same could be said on both sides.
I agree about Kee wanting to be the 'real business', however, corporate vision is one thing and reality is another. The staff are the same staff that were Gino(Posterivo)'s 'gang' are they not? Or they are the old PMI 'gang'. They may be called KEE, but are they really a different animal, and is KEE corporate even realy aware of how the company is viewed by the industry?
