20, and (oddly enough) very close to 90 days to being 21. July 12 for me.

39, and getting ready to purchase lots of black candles and skulls for my 40th.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

You can *buy* the skulls?

*dogscoff guiltily tries to hide a bloody axe behind his back.

That gave me a good chuckle!

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

37, as of two days ago. Bleh.

The "mid-thirties" seem to be leading it uncontested.

Probably because all the hypercaffeinated teenagers are off playing RTSes, while we old codgers ruminate over a single turn for an hour http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

In another hobby area I paint miniatures, and I've found that most younger people don't have the patience for competitive painting... Some of the best results take many small steps, and I felt that what I lacked in raw talent I made up for in approach and determination.

I think that turn based games, especially complex ones, appeal to the more mature crowd for the same reason: Older folks are more patient and prefer to chew on things for a while.

Hey, I've been playing Turn Based strategy since... well, before Starcraft came out. Since my very first computer access, so call in 1995. When I was ten.

Not all of us http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I've been playing Turn Based Strategy's since I was 12 (I'm now 17). Not all teenagers are vacuous fools http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
