Not all of us I've been playing Turn Based Strategy's since I was 12 (I'm now 17). Not all teenagers are vacuous fools
I was only referring to the twitchy, ADD-afflicted subset of teenagers, not teenagers as a whole.

Of course, when I was a teenager, there were no such things as RTSes (and games were loaded from cassettes! )

Heh, since said subset accounts for about 90% of teenagers, I'd say you're right on the money!

Yes, interesting. I was wondering what the heck my generation was doing (well, ok, I really wasn't wondering, but,,,,,)? Playing turn based strategy games it seems.

I play pretty much anything if it's interesting. (Although sports games and abstract strategy are rather low on that list)

18 years old, as of 12:45 this morning. Old enough to know how young I am.
