Funny, I voted back when the poll was new, and I could have sworn I posted something then. Anyway, I'm 56, still play in a rock 'n' roll band, still ride motorcycles, still...well, that parts none o' your business.

Hey man, you can't drop it with "none o' your business". Guys our age should boast about it.:yep: :rotfl:

I'm a 45 years young. I like air sims and sub sims and never refused the next beer or the last pub....and blues, blues, blues...

That's a really nice distribution on the age graph.

Just as well your U-Boat crew don't want a captain who is drunk on duty. :p

Funny thing is, you would think it would be biased towards the young'uns, yet it seems to be the opposite (slightly).

Well, I think most people my age enjoy games where you run and gun as opposed to realistic WWII naval simulations...

Saintaw 06-05-06 04:25 PM

<-- Generation X :)

Actually, I expected the demographic to be older on average - it seemed to be that way with SH2/DC players. Kind of a skewed bell-curve.

45 here, BTW.

17 with a submarine fan girlfriend.

All I can say is "w000000000000000000000000000000000t" :arrgh!:

Some say I'm a 40 year old in a teenagers shell. What, being 6' 6" and all, kind of skews that. Other things that are unusual for my age:

I love 60's music
I love Kraftwerk (its a very 'aquired' taste)
I have size 15 feet (O_O!)
I dont smoke, or do drugs (though the occasional brandy has passed my gums >_>)
I know more about Russian Sonar than I do about my AS Biology syllabus
I know who Chuck Norris is
I possess a Chuck Norris t-shirt
I actually want my Commodore 64 back.

This topic is about a year old, you probably did vote before, you just dont remember.

Sailor Steve 06-06-06 01:42 PM

I didn't remember...luckily the system reminded me.

You already voted; now you get your own poll. You are

1) Stupid

2) Senile

3) All of the above

Fitz62STG 06-06-06 03:43 PM

Thank goodness
 
I'm 32. My first computer was an AMD 450 back in 1998. Thank GOD there was nothing like this when I was a kid or I would not know what the OUTSIDE world is like. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
