35, I am a Major in the USAF stationed in Bad Aibling Germany. I have been playing war/strategy/role playing games since high school. Loved the old single player Ambush series, Sixth Fleet, Star Fleet Battles and most role playing games.

I'm 18, and a senior in HS. I'll be going to Princeton University in the fall and will be wrestling for them in the winter. Love games of all kinds but especially strategy like SE4.

Hey, within a few years, most of we will be playing SE4 in the asylum for old men! http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 
I must admit I am very suprised by the age of most players here. I really thought most of them would be in their teens-twenties.

Myself? I'm 22, married, work at Celestica - a leading EMS manufacturer. I work mostly on building high end server Boards for Nortel or Lucent. I'll be returning to University this year to study biology/chemistry in Toronto, Ontario, Canada - which is where I live by the way.

No Stalkers Please.

Does anyone know any girls who like to play? I've tried to play with my wife - but she can't keep her eyes open.

Have you visited the Spoogy Federation?

29, Canadian (Peterborough), and a classic underachiever! http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif Spend way too much time on games vs reality (so my fiance says) and generally refuse to grow up. But I really think its time to do the school thing again and get a real job, gaming just won't support the old age pension http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon9.gif.
