Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

I'm 17. I live in southern California in the USA. I play strategy games, namely Civilization, Space Empires III and IV, Master of Orion II (pity its not moddable), and Birth of the Federation. I'm an unemployed senior in high school.

It's not whether you win or lose that counts: it's how much pain you inflict along the way.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Eh, what the heck. I'm 19, live in New Jersey and go to college in New York. My first exposure to 4X games was Spaceward Ho! There was then a long dry spell in which I played nothing of the sort (with occasional recaps to Civ 2 which I was not very good at). Then came along Rebellion. I got it, I played it, I loved it. Senior year in high school my roomie and I would play multiplayer games against each other, constantly tossing taunts and boasts back and forth in the room.

Then I rather stumbled upon Space Empires IV, gave the demo a go, and was sucked in. Simple, really. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Very new to SE4 (I've had it about 2 weeks). I live in western Maryland in the USA, in a town called Frostburg. I am 38 with a wife, a son in college, and 2 fantastic dogs (Lucky and Shadow). I have had a computer since I was 16. I bought it instead of a car! A TRS-80 that I paid almost $800 for. I remember playing possibly the first flight sim on it. The terrain was a chessboard looking affair with some 2D mountains on one end. I was hooked, and have played games ever since. I started out working construction in the summer at age 11, and did it full time after college. I then got a job with a defense contractor, and now fire rocket motors for a living. Construction work to Rocket Motors! I LOVE America. I’ve even done some work on the Titan program for Larrybush (the igniters and staging rockets). As far as games, its: SE4, Diablo 2, and Baldur’s Gate 2. Sorry I went so long. This is a great post.

to tell you the truth, i haven't really been active on this forum for a while, i had a 2 week vacation and have a crappy modem, so i didn't get on-line that much.

i wonder if the new people still read every post??

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Happy Birthday "Puke"

Lemmy- I only use a 56K, no dsl or cable, that's why I don't play much on-line stuff, it wouldn't be fair to other players with faster connections.. I know what you mean about modems, Some day I'll get my wife to go along with getting one or the other, between my 3 kids and myself bugging her, sooner or later we'll get one of them...hope you enjoyed your vacation...

I don't think new people go back and read all the old Posts but I think they scan thru say the Last 20-30 days and read the interesting ones.

I find this one of the more interesting topics and a good post.
