Hey, what's age anyways..we're still all kids at heart. I've been playing these type games since, well..lets just say Johnson was President...thats LBJ..not Andrew http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif Now that I have completed my 26 year term in the Army as an attack helo pilot (see..I even got to play real games and blow things up for a living), now I work on the Comanche program, get to fly the simulator weekly..more gaming..hehe..but the best part is, I get to work out of my house most of the time. So when I get tired of work..sitting here in my sweats gettin paid is certainly stressfull, I turn on a game or check the web. The funny thing is I don't really care for any of the flight simulators..I guess after really doing the real deal for so long, nothing can compare to it. But I do like SEIV and a host of others.

I'm 24, work at home as a freelance writer, and have too much time on my hands. I'm actually looking forward to the time when business picks up and I Don't have time for SE4. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

30'ish, finished a 10 year stint in the navy keeping ships steaming, now am a network admin (read finally getting paid to be a computer geek) working on my masters in middle school education.

Always wanted to be a teacher, figured i pick a teaching age when the kids need assistance cocking automatics, seems safer to me LOL

I'm 56 and an aerospace engineer. Does that make me the official "Old Fart"?

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

I'm 42, and was a computer programmer when I was working, but am now living on disability benefits. Even without a job, I don't have enough time to play all the great games I have. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif I started collecting wargames in 1972, with Avalon Hill's 1914.

Good one Nitram.

I'm 16, still in High School, and have plenty of game playing time on my hands.
