nxGangrel Posted June 19, 2015 bytor said:Wait, was I supposed to grow up? probably wouldn't have these games today if it wasn't for us old gamers. Not what I meant. I've never seen, or really heard of middle aged people play games like Doom. The oldest person I know who still plays games (or a game) is my dad. He's 43 and plays Age of Conan on a daily basis (literally). What I'm trying to say is, because I've never seen it, I'd expect most people who were into arcades and all to move on to different things or loose interest I guess. But I will still play my favorite (what will be ancient) games when I'm elderly. ( if I live to be elderly) Danarchy said:Also, I'd like to point out that Richard Garriot, Will Wright, Sid Meier, Roberta Williams, Al Lowe, and Gabe Newell are all over 50 and some of them in their 60s, and they're some of the most influential game designers of all time. I'd like to point out you said game designers and not gamers. I'm sure most if not all of them were (and maybe still are) gamers at some point, but now they're probably more focused on designing then playing games, and Gabe Newell learning to count to three. Maybe there's something I'm not getting, but that's just my point of view. 0 Share this post Link to post
RegurgitatedCacoGibs Posted June 19, 2015 19. I was born January 24, 1996. I bought the Depths of DOOM Trilogy at Goodwill for really cheap when I was 12 back in '08. That was it from there: Countless all nighters playing WADs and watching speedruns; sacrificing my social life (Eeeh, what friends? XD), and running my own Metal 'zine. Boy, time flies! I'm very happy to say not much has changed since then, hehe. 0 Share this post Link to post

joe-ilya Posted June 19, 2015 I'm 16, I don't understand why people say being a teenager is frenzy fun, I've got nothing to do on my summer vacation. And I'm not a nerd. Whatever, got my guitar. 0 Share this post Link to post

Eh, you never know how bad it looks until you actually see what it looks like on yourself. It's the summer after all, I can grow it out without anyone really caring all that much haha. 0 Share this post Link to post

Cupboard Posted July 12, 2015 I was born in 1991. It was a great year. Metallica was considered mainstream in terms of "they played the heaviest music in the scene" and thrash metal was recognized as preeminently awesome. The USSR collapsed. Clinton was competent and not smug about it. Pokemon was just around the corner. I remember using dial-up internet service. I remember "leaving the internet open" for my mom because it took 5 whole minutes to really connect to the world wide web and open an internet browser with the latest news and shit on it. 1 Share this post Link to post
