My fellow gamers, how old are you?

I just started to feel old when I read that GamerGirl and gunblade111 are both 18(ish).  I know a few of the other users are younger and a few are older, but I don't know about the rest.  That got me interested in the demographics of the site.  So I'll start.

I'm 23.

Also, to make myself feel even older, I'll give a little more background info: I graduated from college in December and am going to Northwestern in the fall to start a Ph.D. program.  Yes.  Old.

Stone, Justin.  I don't know how old you are, but I'm relying on you to make me feel young again.

  • I'm 24.5 and graduated from Michigan about 3 years ago now.  I don't wanna turn 25.  Only plus is that I can rent cars for cheaper.  That and act as a legal guardian I guess?

    Exciting.

  • I am also 23, which surprises some people concerning the games that I play.  I just really love the classics.
    I guess I'll pitch in my education.  I graduated with 3 associate degrees from a community college in SW Missouri in Spring 2k7.  I have my Computer Information Technology, Networking Technology, and my Associate of Arts.  I'm too lazy to go back, so no one look at me as a role model =P

  • Yes, I am a fresh 18 yr old. But I too, love the classics and prefer playing them over the more recent games. I find that the more recent games are becoming very similar in plotline and method of play. [perspectives, weaponry, etc.]

     

    Yes, Duke 3D, Doom, Wolfenstein and all those are similar, but they actually had their own twist to it. MegaMan, Commender Keen [yes, CK] and all those games were more futuristic and had a more creative plotline. Even if the method of play wasn't.

    Hahahahaha!

    Gorging myself on dots and fruit was never my thing.  With Donkey Kong, I could avoid barrels, take on a hulking Gorilla, and save a princess all in a day's work.  Each level had different goals and designs while Pacman was limited to walls, dots, and ghosts.

    Clearly, if Pacman were the better game, we would be playing Pacman Kart Racing and the Wii would have been released with a Pacman Galaxy title.  Looks like an easy win for the Mario family.
