Hundminen Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 My wife frequently rants that I am too old to be playing "video games" on the computer, but I try to tell her that many guys engaged in thoughtful, tactical wargames like CM, or TOAW, or WF/EF, are probably my age, 37, or older. She refuses to believe me. So is anybody out there my age or older? Hundminen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikib Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 I'm not older at 30 (nearly 31) but I feel like I'm in the older league when it comes to gaming. Also, I don't earn enough money to indulge my stupidities and would like Toms job. Nik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikib Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 Mike Don't be so harsh on NZ gamers - there is one down here who is under 40 - mind you I'm still over 30 (see post above). You should come down to Christchurch - we dont have the wind to age us...

Spook Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 38, although some parts of my body believe that I'm double that age. And will someone please tell this old fart how to get the "new" smilies like the one that sticks out its tongue?

Brian Rock Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 41. It was like an ambush. It just snuck up on me when I wasn't watching. I knew I should have put scouts out... In any case, remember this: there are a lot more dead young privates than dead old generals. Now shut up and leave me alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TOBRUK Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 You guys are pikers I'm 57 and have finally realized that having fun is the most productive thing you can do. Besides, playing CM has enhanced my status around here. At dinner parties, now, my wife refers to me as 'the little general.' And she's always saying things like 'well, maybe the war-meister can find time to take out the garbage, and things like that. You have to earn that kind of respect.

Thomas Davie Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 Nikib: you do *not* want my job. Every 2 or three months, I have to kill a few hundred chickens, gather blood and perform general dissections and so forth. it didn't (and still doesn't) bother me, but I am becoming environmentally sensitized and accquiring quite the set of allergies. Ah, Fionn will know what I mean. Tom Nonetheless, working at a university tends to mean (for me at least) getting free and legal software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Tom Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 Unfortunately I have reached the age where I am no longer the cream of the intellectual society. At least this is what TV tells me... Turning 22 just totally shot me out of the loop. Present day music sucks (Backstreet Boys?!?! WHAT THE??!?! Someone must have been smoking a lot of crack to come up with that idea!), television is too full of pointless sex and violence "Today on FOX: When Buildings Collapse... man has always loved his buildings, what happens when they say 'NO MORE!'"... I was in a theatre seeing a movie, it was rated PG 14 or something. The movie was full of 14 year olds, but, had multiple nipple shots and continuous sexual inuendo. Now, when I was young you had to stay up really late to see this kind of stuff on TV. Now it's just PORN, PORN, PORN!!! "I used to be with it, but then I forgot what it was, and what it became was strange and freightening to me, and it will happen to you too!" "I used to rock and roll all night and party every day, then it was every other day, now I find it hard to find one day a week in which to get funky." I never understood those quotes untill just recently. Remember, back in the day, when musicians were considered young when they were 50 years old??? Now, the Rolling Stones are considered a freak group for their age. I love David Bowie's music and he is even older than my Father! I may seem pathetic arguing such stuff at the young age of 22, but, after being in the limelight for such a long time with everything in the media targeting my age group it is a major culture shock realizing that economists, musicians, movie-makers, etc... consider anyone over the age of 20 not to too old to be worth their consideration.
