lets play some bullet balllll
This is the most depressing thing I have ever seen.
I second Trevor’s comments.
Damn, when does it look like pouring your soul into something just isn’t going to work out. This guy needs some new ideas or a backup plan.
About a month ago I left a comment on his website about how terrible the game was and how he should get his life back while he can. I left my phone number for the lulz. He called me and pretended to be Marc’s brother, “Charles Griffin”. Oddly enough, he had the exact same voice and manner of speech, and even reffered to bulletball as “mah game” a few times. That’s when I realized he was crazy. I also offered to sell him two games I had made up over the past ten years with my cousin. We called them speed-candle and speed-candle XTREME. He hung up on me.
speed candle consists of blowing out a candle.
The idea of the game is good, he just should have made it a videogame where you try to get a virtual ball behind the opponents line.
Oh wait… never mind.

This could be a novelty game if it had perhaps some paddles or something and if the table was bigger. It looks a lot like air hockey.
The man is not marketing the game well at all. I thought it was a comedy routine at first.
This man is relying too much on other people in his life, to accept what he thinks is great. He can love the game and play it often, but he doesn’t need to force it on others.
The name bulletball is unattractive right away. Nobody wants bullets coming at them. If he changed the name alone to something more attractive it’d be better.
The man in blue was a respectable fellow. Pointing out bad things about him is wrongful.
After seeing this blog post he’s going to go home and kill himself. Oh wait…
Where can I buy speed candle?
I can’t wait to play it!
hohoohhohohohohohoo
well i loled at him
I wonder how often people slam their elbow into the side of the table? Not fun.
He just needs to make a deal with Sears and stop being the spokesman.
One suggestion to improve it: have the ball tied to the center by a thin bungie line. Then it won’t get lost like annoying ping pong balls.
@claytonian
I like that idea. It looks like you would be running after and losing the “bulletballs” all the time
can someone explain why there is a rack of 12 balls?
I think that Bulletball is kind of cool. It is a simple, easy to learn sport which reminds me a lot of table-top ice-hockey. To those of you who made fun of this guy I would say that his idea, simple though it may be, isn’t as odd as it may seem to you. I mean, he is taking a simple game we have all played some version of in out life and formalizing it as well as making it a little more exciting with the side rails. Don’t get me wrong, this game isnt going to be for everyone, but for those people looking for some casual low-cost fun, it certainly seems like an undemanding, easy to get into game that anyone can play. As far as it becoming an Olympic sport, I wish this guy luck, but I wonder if there is any chance of that ever happening. In any event, I hope he sells enough tables to get himself on the map business-wise and generate the funds required to build a happy life for himself.
@ Kevin
I think because balls can get lost so easily and it might be a pain to keep picking them up after every point. Also, maybe standard bulletball games are to 12 points.
@Michael
I do agree that it might be kinda fun I just wonder how successful it could be considering it seems so simple to just create a table yourself. Also, the tables range from $80 - $525 so I do not know how low cost it is.
That said I also wish this guy success but not enough to make me shell out some cash for a table and set of balls.
It’s called bullet ball because it will end with a bullet. Sadly.
Go here http://bulletballgames.com/order.html and listen to this dudes rap about bulletball. Bulletball bulletball bulletball thats a bulletball. It is actually him rapping too!
Thats a bulletball
So it’s air hockey with your palm instead of a paddle? Did he actually invent anything besides the name?
Wow. I mean…just…wow.
First off, about his wedding ring. He could be remarried? It WAS 26 freakin’ years ago that he and his ex-wife started the wonderful idea that would become Bulletball.
Secondly…wow. And I’m with JP. Would bruised and battered forearms be a sign of pride among the Bulletball warriors of the world? An Olympic sport? Is he really that delusional? We would see people with freakishly long arms dominating this sport. Just think, if your hand/forearm were long enough to cover your entire “goal” you would never get scored on…unless you sucked really bad…kind of like this game.
[...] die hard. Not for this guy however. He gave it all up for a game called [...]
Self-Confidence Vs. Self-Delusion
I bet the different balls are different weights or sizes, so whoever serves gets to choose the ball that they play best with. I guess like how bowling has a huge rack of different balls.
I think this man is delusional. There is something seriously different with his version of reality and everyone else’s version of reality.
Anyone see the Bulletball Infomercial?

Oh god, that would be so funny, if someone went ahead and marketed the the version with the tether string just to drive this poor guy crazy.
LMAO!
hey guys, i actually bought a bullet ball table, and the game is actually really fun. the game is not nearly as easy as it looks. the first time i played it, i played an experienced player, and i lost really badly. however, after a few weeks of practice, i got really good. i play bulletball everyday after school with my friends. dont make fun of this guy. he is a genius and will be rich way sooner than any of you.
@FAN
HELLO MARC
HOW DID YOU GET INTERNET IN THE CAR?
I’ve never found madness so depressing.
it would be much more fun for spectators if the ball was really a hand grenade or a hedgehog.
DOOD you stole my invention. I was sitting with MAH WIFE at a dinner and we used a creamer (little milk things for coffee) and we played so hard and so long.
You dont score a point for getting it past the goal, you score a point for getting the other person wet with milk and/or cream, then you stand up and pronounce MAH POINT
MAH POINT
I think I love you.
I was really waiting for him to whip out an AK-47 at the end.
How many bullet ball tables are there in the world?
I wonder. I guess it depends if Marc makes them as he gets orders or if he has a warehouse full of them.
I’m gonna guess….2,500
or 23
