Never ask a lady her age

Thanks, I didn't know either.

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,

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

Quiet you! I don't need to be reminded that I'm starting to develop a limp in my right leg...

36 and they had better invent that anti-aging drug soon, cause I hate getting older...

Hey, don't worry... My best pal is 36 too, and he recently found himself a nice & fun 19-year old girlfriend, so there has to be some hope for you too.

31... far too old for my part. I would gladly give up flat, car, job for 10/12 years back...

Well, I can't wish for that, will complain about it to Kristoffer

I'm 24, though still at university as a grad student.

Shovah32, I would never have guessed you were so young. You're very mature and smart for your age (you're one of the forum members whose opinion I tend to trust the most).

Thanks buddy, that means alot. Did my over-use of emoticons not give it away?


I knew there were plenty of older dominions players here but im suprised at how many we have(and how many appear to have mild depression ). I find this to be one of the more interesting threads here on the forums at the minute - finding out alot of unexpected things.

I'm 30. I can now legitimately use the term "whipper-snapper" when talking about younger people.

This year I joined the (apparently majority in the forum) 30 somethings. Kid number two due on October and gray hairs sprouting on my chiny chin chin, aw crap I'm a grownup!

I am older than most, 47, but I am pretty fit. Still hit the gym 4 times a week. An attorney by profession, though my amount of spare time has increased significantly since Katrina.

In all honesty, age is a relative thing. If you keep yourself fit, not much changes from age 18 to 47. Yeah, you lose some hair, some white hairs creep in, and all of those bones you broke playing sports in college etc start to ache.

But if you eat correctly, lift weights for muscle retention, do aerobic exercise, and throw in some yoga to maintain flexibility, you can still be stronger, in better shape, and more flexible than 90 percent of the 18-24 year olds.

Of course that is because 90 percent of 18-24 year olds consume fast food, chips, soft drinks, and spend too much time watching tv, movies, talking on their cell phones, text messaging, as well as computer related activities.

So do not fear getting old, fear getting out of shape.


An excerpt from Jack Lalanne's verified achievements:

# 1974 (age 60): For the second time, Jack swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman's Wharf. Again, he was handcuffed, but this time he was also shackled and towed a 1,000-pound boat.
# 1975 (age 61): Repeating his performance 21 years earlier, Jack again swam the entire length of the Golden Gate Bridge, underwater and handcuffed, but this time he was shackled and towed a 1,000-pound boat.
# 1976 (age 62): To commemorate the "Spirit of '76", United States Bicentennial, Jack swam one mile in Long Beach Harbor. He was handcuffed and shackled, and he towed 13 boats (representing the 13 original colonies) containing 76 people.
# 1979 (age 65): Jack towed 65 boats in Lake Ashinoko, near Tokyo, Japan. He was handcuffed and shackled, and the boats were filled with 6,500 pounds of Louisiana Pacific wood pulp.
# 1980 (age 66): Jack towed 10 boats in North Miami, Florida. The boats carried 77 people, and he towed them for over one mile in less than one hour.
# 1984 (age 70): Once again handcuffed and shackled, Jack fought strong winds and currents as he swam 1.5 miles while towing 70 boats with 70 people from the Queen's Way Bridge in the Long Beach Harbor to the Queen Mary.
