How Old Is The Average GTP Member?

[Christhedude]

hey everyone, i'm 19... will turn 20 on feb. 26th

 

[MTC]

Whenever I see a poll like this I think... will people still look at this in a year or so? If the answer is yes; the poll choices should be [ranges of] years of birth, not the age you happen to be when you vote in the poll.

I'm 19, born July 20, 1988.

I think n00bs are independent of age.

!

Oh man, GTP jokes never get old...(GTP jokes? )


Aaaaanyway, I'm 18

 

[TopHat]

Flipping heck! I'm older than Tophacient! I always thought he was sooo much older than me. I'm 15 on the 28th of October YAY!!

Heh heh.

 

[<_Spike_>]

Well I'm 22...almost "and a half", birthday's in June.

 

[Philly]

I'm 19. But I often have trouble believing I'm any older then 12.

That doesn't go away. My dad admitted it to me on my last birthday when I mentioned it. He just turned 57.

22... so above the average...

Noticing a larger amount sit under the 21 age group than above it... would explain the brain pain at times

And the age and noob thing, the difference is this when they get called a noob

Older: Oh, sorry, can you explain whats going on then?

Younger: ill h4xor ur boxer an burns yer sevars cause i R 1337!!!!11

51 here and yes I remember when "pong" came out. When I was young and wanted to play a game it was a pinball machine at the local bowling alley.

42 here, and I too have fond memories of Pong, and of pinball, but in pool halls. At the tender age of ten, I used to hustle rich Dartmouth students in both pool and pinball, much to the chagrin of my parents. I was particularly good at a pinball game called Crazy Eight, which had an 8-ball theme.

Thanks to my father I occasionally had access to the PDP in the Kiewit Computer Center so I was able to hustle me some computer nerds in Space Wars as well.

Computer games have certainly come a looooong way since then haven't they!

Any way, it is nice to see we have some elder members here. 👍

 

[superberkut]

Though I try to keep people guessing, I am 14.

September is the month of my birthday.

EDIT: SENIOR MEMBER?!?!?!? WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?!?!?!? Now I'm confused!

 

[Diego440]

Pong?

I have fond memories of the bong, does that count?

Anyhoo, I'm 31, though I rarely act my age... works wonders for my job, though.

Pong, Joust, Pitfall, etc.... I remember the Atari 2600 when it first came out... I convinced my folks that we would save SOOOO much money because you didn't have to stick a quarter in it every time you wanted to play. That was about 1984 I believe..., now it's 23 years later and I have spent untold thousands on in house video games (to save money at the arcade... )

Coleco Vision, Comadore 64....great memories..., great memories.

Usually the bong just makes my memories more hazy.

I'm 21 which seems to be pretty average here. I joined way back when I was 16.

100 Kurichs!

How old is that in dog years?

 

[Digital-Nitrate]

How old is that in dog years?

Depends on what kind of dog, but I'm guessing 2.

Or 1101 in binary.


BTW: Using binary is very useful when you get older and don't want to cause a 5-alarm fire from all the candles.

 

[Loon]

How old is that in dog years?

That's a measure of weight, not age.

 

[socomplayer2]

[YSSMAN]

I still have a Coleco Vision, working, at my parents house. What was that one game, Dr. something or another... and then there was Ladybug, which was fun.

And Joust is a great game... truly classic. I need to get a copy for my NES or GBA or something now

Going WAAAAY back in the thread, BUT:

That doesn't go away. My dad admitted it to me on my last birthday when I mentioned it. He just turned 57.

I accept that I'm 19. I just never act my age. My friend (16) and I usually say we are good matches because we both act 12 half the time. But I guess it's genetic; my sister (10) acts like she is 4.

As for being 19, I find it a little hard to believe, but I have no clue what I feel like. I could be 16 for all I care.

...or XBL or PSN if you have a 360 or PS3. I got the PS3 version for just $5 and quite impressed how it plays with the controller. 👍

One of my all-time favorite arcade games was Tempest (the first time I reached the invisible level I freaked! )

Unfortunately, playing Tempest with a keyboard, mouse, or controller is TERRIBLE! You really have to have a high quality spinner, like the original arcade version, to accurately control your "man". Because of that I'm seriously thinking of building a MAME arcade cabinet just so I can relive many of my favorite arcade games as they were originally designed to be played. 👍

I get warm fuzzy feelings reading your posts.... Those were good times....

Do you mean “misuse”? Of em dashes?

No I mean maltreatment as in to treat or handle badly. I was personalising the em-dash.

Say it with me: em dash.
