Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

And this is the 500th post in this thread. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Ok I was 30 when I started playing SEIV, so that makes me how old now? In SEIV time, or in RL time? If I figured for SEIV time I think I would be 37 now. I could be wrong, I am to tired to double check my figures.

10 months a year = - 2 months.
4 years = 40 months, - 8 months.

Hell I am younger now than I was when I started playing....... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

You're backwards. Let's call it four years even.

SE4 month = 5/6 of a terran month
48 terran months = 57.6 SE4 months = 5 years and 7 months, for 35 years old.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Thanks. My mind had a melt down. I think I am become delusional. Things just don't seem to be working right at the moment. Odd, did I just post this or was I dreaming?

I've posted here before but things have changed. I'm 19, live in the 'heartland of america' (Indiana) and work as a network administrator/webmaster. I have been playing SEIV for awhile now, (ever since Gold was on pre-order. And I played SEII long before that even.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

32 !!! I'm 32 for six months now !!!
I think it's time I stop growing older.The slope is beginning to be slipping...

I've made a big decision. Next year, I'll stop.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

In our newspaper a couple weeks ago they showed a picture of a guy who just turned 17. But he was borne in 1939, IIRC. Borne on a leap year day so he has only ahd 17 'official' birthdays. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Sad to say I'm 2 years older but I look better then he does right now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

1940 perhaps? 1939 is not a leap year.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That is probably correct. I didn't think 1939 was a leap year due to being odd plus just didn't seem right. But I really didn't feel like doing the math, even though it would've taken a whole 2 seconds. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif It may have even been 1936 he was born, I swear there was a 3 in it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Well if he turned "17," that is 68 years, so 1936 is more likely. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Ah, the crap "news" they publish in local newspapers. Not that it is much worse in other newspapers, but still. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Exactly. Last year they had nothing better to put on the front of our paper then the opening of a tattoo parlor. So they posted pictures of people getting piercings and tattoos. Needless to say some people were offended by this and the paper ended up publishing an apology. Rather amusing to see it happen.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Last year my mother turned 3 years old. (She was born on easter sunday April 20, 1924) Her birthday has only fallen on easter sunday twice since that date. So I would say that this is a much rarer occurance than leap year. I think the next time easter sunday falls on april 20th is in 2011.

Anyway, don't mind me, I'm just babbling.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">1936, 1940, and 1944 were leap years. As was this year for people who think today is really tomorrow. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Ah, yes. Tactics II. Remember playing that back in the very early '60s.

I'm a nuke - one of those amorphous pegs whom Admiral Rickover pounded into the shape he desired to fit into his nuke navy program. Once I emerged from that service obligation (Hey! It kept me out of rice paddies!), I stayed with it as the industry allowed for a good and secure living for my young and growing family.

As can be seen from my registered date, been here for a while. Wish there'd be a SEIV Platinum or something, as I am not all that comfortable with patches and mods. I'd just like to have it all on the CD. It's one of the reasons I've not bought Gold yet, and have not gone PBW, KOTH, etc.

jim - like the mac####, on the other side of 50

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

If I remember right I've written to this tread for a long time ago but it's a good time to post it again, especially since I'm now older.

So I'm 19-year-old high school student though my school is almost over, only finals left. I live in Nokia, Finland (you know, that small cold country in pretty north http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ). Besides playing SE4 I like to read fantasy books.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

You don't like patches ? you shouldn't use MS windows, then http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif !


<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">please, if you dont like patches, you shouldn't use computers. unix needs patches. routers need patches. satelite tv players need patches, they just update themselves without your intervention. My Levi's need patches, but I grew up in the 80s, so i think the rips are cool http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

On another note, im not sure if im comforted or worried that Nuclear Engineers dont like patches http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I guess its good that everything should be done properly in well contained and organized builds. And while quick improvisition is higly important in other engineering fields, I can see how it would be less than desireable with nukes.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Did you know my firsat ever post to this forum was on this thread? Ahh... nostalgia... it ain't what it used to be etc etc etc.

I must be 27 or 28 by now. I can remember my borthday and everything, but my brain rarely functions in a straiht line long enough for me to work out exactly how old I am. born sep 76 if anyone feels like doing the 5 second calculation that I just can't be arsed to do for myself.

Welcome to anyone new to this thread and forum, cheers and a pint on me for everyone else.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Glad to see another nuc around! Latch 'em and snatch 'em. Were you on a submarine or a target http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ? I guess if you are talking about staying out of the paddies, it must have been one of the older subs.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

On patches and MS Windows, au contraire! You see, I have the tech do it.

That is, I have someone who knows well what s/he is doing perform the operation. That also is the nuke in me talking. ;-)

I wanted to go subs. 637 class was the newest one at the time. You know, the "slow attack" class. However, the USN was scaling up for the CVNs and new CGNs, so they used various means to divert manpower flow from subs to surface. Thus, I ended up on a vessel designed to submerge only once.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The other big forum polled the age. It started about 35 then dropped to 29. Still pretty good for a game. Both games seem to reflect whats a higher average age than usually associated with games. Must be the strategy emphasis?

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Sure, the strategy emphasis has to be a part of it. Another part is the length of time it takes to learn the game. Most kids just don't have the patience. Then after finally gaining the expertise necessary to beat the AI, you log on to PBW and find out that you're just a weenie in that realm. No wonder there are gray heads in this place. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Not enought patience...hah! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I just turned 17 on April 27. And I've been playing SEIV for about 3 years...and SE3 before that...and SE2 before that!!

But yeah, most kids wouldn't like this game. They'd have to actually think! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

I have been playing SE4 sice the original non-gold came out and I'm 16

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes I would not say the strategy part shuts out younger people. It just makes the few who can really handle it into a rare commodity. Most of the ones I know are more into "reaction" games that are alittle more what I call "joystick" (where they totally kick my tail). Its the long-thinking strategy games where I can get even with them (hopefully due more to my skill than the fact that they tend to wander)
