I turned a quarter-of-a-century three days after I got Lance Corporal
25 eh?
Yes ma'am...
The good things about being 37:
Started off on a Lloyds game machine, with paddles and gun.
Went on Atari 2600, Pac Man and all.
Discovered Commodore PET.
Got a TI99 (great for sprites).
Switched to Amiga, great gaming machine.
Got transferred to Mac, as I'm in advertising. Decent gaming.
On the Mac, got hooked on Doom, multiplayer, in 1995.
Switched to QWTF and discovered online gaming, on dialup.
Played QWTF up to Quake Arena.
Played Arena for a couple of months then discovered Urban Terror, on Q3.
Played two or three years, got in the top 50.
Had to get myself a PC (darn) so I figured I had to live with it.
Downloaded Enemy Territory, cause it was cheap.
Played like crazy, got in the top 100.
Man it sucks to be 28000th at BF2, but I love the game.
This post looks like the diary of an addict...
Cheers!

Urban Terror was great. I wish the new edition was out...LordCongor wrote:

36. Hey zeppelin, we got 2 clan members in their 60's so you are not alone in that age group!
I went a little different route than LordCongor. Atari 2600, Intellivision, Apple IIe (anyone remember Wizardry the original?), Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, PC (many, many upgrades from the first one), PS1, PS2.

i just turned 34 yesterday, im amazed at all the teenies playing bf2 as you need a nasa computer to play it....were do they get the money from. i had a commodore 64 as a teen....mutter mutter dont know there born these days...grumble grumble
I'm 26, turning 27. My gf just turned 20 *dirty old man* I dunno...it kinda forces me to be introspective about everything. I mean, I'm approaching the 30 mark...I mean, is it time to give up this silly hobby? Take up model house building? Trade in the war games for Yahtzee? Is the term lan party going to refer to a big bridge game? But then it dawns on me, if I don't play these games of simulated urban warfare, and cause virtual death and destruction....then all the programmers and designers wouldn't be able to put food on their tables, and keep their WoW accounts active...so really, it's a humanitarian thing.
KEEP THE ECONOMY ALIVE!
GAME!
Can I gt an Amen?

29 going on 50 w/ 2 kids
Well, after having been through college, that's the best prep for social settings they could have gotten before they went. Well, I guess you could have ripped a newly planted tree out of the quad and thrown it in the parking lot then thrown up on someone's shoes.... errr... that's another story for another time...HolyKitsune wrote:
18...and I dont even want to THINK about alcohol at this moment. Actually imma quit that stuff. Made me look like an idiot in front of my gf...all her friends. (they all went to this farewell party =for college departure= ...yeah, wow..half a bottle of vodka; they didnt drink at all. It was the worst.)

You don't deal with forum boards that much do you? No one ever reads the posts. Ever.atomicredhead wrote:

Unless you are some sort of weird post stalking freak. Or really bored, like I am.
What you mean, a nasa computer. I can play bf2 with all graphics on medium with my comp which costed about 500-600 €. Probably should just buy more RAM, i hate 512. Im just too bored to go to a shop.pasthebiscuits wrote:

Haha that's awesome. I'm using that as my excuse whenever I get a chance now :-)Miakei wrote:

22, still stuck in college
20 in 2 months
36 here also. I remember the original Wizardry well. I spent MANY hours playing it on the Apple IIe. I liked it so much, I bought it for the PC. Needless to say, it's one of those things where the memory of it is better than actually playing it now days. Oh well.-=DRACO-Krusty wrote:
