I just turned 32 two days ago. You know you're an adult when your own father can't remember the exact day of your birth. I don't think moms ever forget, though. LOL

As a bit of an "off topic" topic, this is thread is one of the best I've seen - bar none (that means at the top of a fictious list). I know there's a cliché out there about youth and daring being overcome by guile and deceit (someone will help out to get it right), but this thread just justifies that - in a positive manner. Gamer fun... what more do you want?

47 here. I still have my original Tactics 2.

After graduating from Catholic school in '69, I grew my hair long, bought a guitar and played rock and roll.

People thought my obsession with wargames and miniatures was odd.

After a stint in the business world, I grabbed my guitar again and am having the time of my life. I never did cut my hair or stopped playing games. Never will.

The age spectrum on this forum is fascinating.

I remember when Les Paul invented the "Les Paul" ;)

Elrikk,

Funny you mention Les Paul. My first and only choice of guitar is a custom Les Paul.

Vulture01,

Hadn't played much at all for about 25+ years when suddenly last summer I got the urge and bought an Epiphone Les Paul. (the black one like Eric Clapton plays). Not quite a Gibson but good enough for an old dude like me to fiddle around with in the house.

Must be a second childhood thing because I had my mid-life crisis years ago. ;)

Well I was playing Galciv already on OS/2 and now again today at the age of 43. Participating in the Beta was great and I enjoyed it really.

I'm 26. Interesting to see how the demographics are leaning away from the teen/college crowd and much more toward young and older adults.

..I was reading all of you ages and I was thinking...it must suck when you see an advertisment talking about funeral arrangements and realize they are targeting people in your age group. "

Not really. Funerals are business. Serious people do serious business, loosers have lousy funerals. Playing GalCiv is good for your health.

I must agree that I would not mind shaving 10-15 years off, but preparing for funeral is not all that bad, even fun. I would like to be ready for life after me. You know life will continue, right? Oh, I will turn 33 this year. I do not want my daughter to worry about old dead guy when the time comes.

teddygram, do serious business, it does not suck.

26 - My first computer was a Texas Instruments Ti-44/9a (I think)

If the screen had 100 pixels I'd be suprised.
