Never ask a lady her age

[Salamander8]

I'm 37, I'm not old!

Can only do that Monty Python and the Holy Grail joke till December 24th though.

Been playing wargames, RPGs, and video games since grade school. Most of my friends are gamers too, but my damn emergency move has isolated me from the gang. I'm visiting them in late Aug though, and have bought my 4 closest friends copies of Dom3 so they have to play!

Don't say that! my mom's dad was as bald as an egg! he had one hair that he grew 9 feet long and wrapped around his head 37 times every morning!

[LoloMo]

I'm 37 too! or almost 37 hehe. And I've still got my full head of hair, although they've recently accelerated in their march towards whiteness. I'm kinda enjoying the Xmen look though

[HoneyBadger]

My hairs keep threatening to turn white, ever since I got married, but so far I haven't been 100% certain about any of them.

32 here, first kid in a week or two. I'm old, and sad

I will kick up the average age I'm 47

I think there are a lot more "older folk" on these forums than the average for an "average" computer game. It's just the kind of game that's naturally going to appeal to someone looking for a deeper-and broader, and slower-game experience, and more people are going to reach the point of wanting that at a later age than they are coming out of (or going into) highschool.

That's not to say that we don't have some younger people, or that we shouldn't. I personally hope we do.

I have a deep-seated fear that society's going to finally come up with some media masterstroke which will lure in and subvert the last few people in this world I can have a deep and meaningful conversation with, and then medical science will come along with a way for me to live forever.

That aside, I'd just put more money on the ones who are young being extraordinary, and of a mindset that will most likely cause them no end of problems until they *are* 30+

It's not really an age factor though, it's a matter of taste, and being introduced to the right influences at the right time-whether you're 80 or 20 or 2.

Ofcourse, the basic model of the game-huge, turn-based, niche wargame-is a thing that's going to be recognizeable and appreciated by older people, simply because we're the only ones who can remember back far enough to the days of tabletop wargames.

When we *can* remember anything, that is

Within a few weeks i will be within KO's guesstimated age bracket and will no longer retain my angsty adolescent individuality! nooooo(z0rz)!

Couldnt resist. I need to sleep.

Perhaps a little more accurately, a broader, deeper game with multiplayer which happily fits into those small time slices that occur when juggling job, kids, wife and similar.


Oh, I'm 28 and still no afflictions
