You would be surprised. I started on the old interplay boards at 16. Am 31 now.

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

I'm looking forward to the day when I can reply "older than dirt" ... but that day is not quite here yet. 44.

Well, you sound a lot younger.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

Seventeen. Twelve when I initially joined. Four when I first played Baldur's Gate.  :)

 

(Edit - note: I didn't actually get very far through it at that age. I think I probably got through it a little after BG2: SoA was released...by which time I was also playing Age of Empires and Diablo. :))

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Half century next year, the knees and back have a few years on the rest of me however.

Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.

I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin.

The bad news: the cake collapsed under the weight of all those candles a couple years ago and they set the house on fire.  The good news is that now that I'm retired, I can finally start working my way through the backlog of games I didn't have time to try while I was working and raising my family.  GOG is my bestest friend.

Current age + "happy birthday" = one less lock on personal data.

 

With that in mind may I say  I'm 107. And my birthday is the 15th of Grune.

24.

 

That feeling you get when they don't even ask for your ID anymore at bars... :( (well, it happened once)

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling

Old enough to remember The Cold War, Life Before Internet (and life before mobile phones too for that matter) :)

 

Verdict so far... the world has changed. Wouldn't say it has improved.

I look back sometimes and think how much "simpler" life seemed to be when I was a kid. I've always been a loner etc. but even so it felt like I was more connected to people in a meaningful way while growing up. I don't think of it as being better, exactly, just different...certainly more quiet (literally as well as figuratively).

 

But then again, I feel like the internet was invented for me. I'd miss it terribly if it went away. What would I do at 2am? :lol:

It never seems to, but judging by how many generations have said exactly that  - my guess would be we just become more jaded as we see how the world is held together. Ignorance is bliss indeed.
