15... Why did you include options for people under 13 if you have to be 13 to join the Escapist?

Im 19 and WOW this thread has been a real eye opener! Iv just realised how many assumptions i make about someone just from their avatar! I mean, its probably wrong but whenever i see someones avatar i come up with a gender and an age for the person all sub-consciously! How weird

Im pretty sure theres a teaching in their or something

Im one of the old guard it seems. 30+. And back in my day, we didnt have your fancy Motion controlled games, we had a glove on a wire in one hand and a gun that could be tricked by a lightbulb in the other. We had to wade through general department stores to get our games and the idea of a game store was impossible, And to get to a place where we could get games we had to walk uphill in the snow, both ways, backwards!. You lazy kids with your save this game anywhere.. Why back in my day we had to run the risk of getting backhanded if our parents told us to do something and we couldnt just drop the game. Why back in my day you had to plan your play sessions carefully in order to make sure there would be nothing that would interrupt your session and basically cause you to loose everything you had done.

God, you people are making me feel old.

I still remember how long it took me to finally flip the score in Asteroids on the Atari.
God I am old.....38
I remember spending many hours programming a game in from a book of games (remember them). Only to have my grandma turn the computer off before I could save it to tape. I only had two goes on it to check it was working properly. Gamers today don't know how easy they have it.....
I remember those. Three of us worked all night on one and it made a rushing water noise and a crashing sound by the end of the evening. Never attempted it again. Kind of surprised I like coding at all considering that first experience. <.<
I am really wondering if any of the games in those books actually worked. I am thinking even if they did work they were probably not worth playing anyway.

15.

I was just about to say I used to be younger, and then I realized how stupid that statement would be. I think I need to go lie down...
