Nomad Posted November 13, 2009 That is something I've thought about a lot. Am I going to be dooming when I'm 80? Hell yes I will. Going to start practicing the looks I'll give my grandchildren when they ask me why I play such an old game. 0 Share this post Link to post

Snakes Posted November 13, 2009 Heh... my Grandma barely knows HOW to operate a comp. Which is a shame. My dad, however... he said this back in January: "I haven't played a game sense Doom and Doom II because that's the only time anyone did it right!!" He's nearing sixty, now. He was one of those guys who was playing the game on company time way back when. Gotta appreciate that sort of mentality. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doom Marine Posted November 13, 2009 Apparently, she has taught her 4-year grandson Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Optimus Posted February 13, 2013 Surprising really. Funny as well. In some 8bit retro communities which are older than Doom, most people are like 35-45. Great find, lol! 0 Share this post Link to post
betabox Posted February 13, 2013 Regardless of whether this is true or not, I'm not too phased considering a recent incident involving little Doomlings.......... 0 Share this post Link to post

Fletcher` Posted February 14, 2013 Pavera said:I've shown him what levels I've made for Doom, but he's perfectly content just playing the original game. He's more of a Rome: Total War/Steel Panthers/X-Com guy anyways. My dad's 63 and plays freedoom a lot. Uses zdoom on linux and still keyboards. 0 Share this post Link to post

Bucket Posted February 14, 2013 That reminds me... my mom is probably going back into the hospital soon and it's my job to load up my dad's laptop with a few dozen of her point-and-click games. 0 Share this post Link to post
A.Gamma Posted February 14, 2013 Heh, that's awesome. My dad is 60 and occasionally plays Doom; He's a hardcore Diablo fan though. 0 Share this post Link to post
ellmo Posted February 14, 2013 Oh good, LittleTemple gained more personalities. Now he's also elderly women, contrary to popular belief that he only impersonates 11-12yo girls. 0 Share this post Link to post

Even if this were the case, can we at least let this one pass unchallenged? As much as I dislike deception, when it isn't hurting anyone, I don't really see the harm. Especially when there are maps coming out of it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted February 14, 2013 Optimus bumped two old threads, this one and another. But there's also Zahid and weed, so it's apparently spreading. This thread is still not as old as the Deus Vult granny. 0 Share this post Link to post

MTrop Posted February 14, 2013 My Dad's been playing Doom for as long as I have. He's 60, now. Once, he played through the entire contents of one of those cheap CDs filled with CDROM.com files. It was roughly 1000 WADs. 0 Share this post Link to post
