    Default How old are you?

    I know this question has been asked before. It's still been a while, though, and my curiosity has gotten the better of me.

    I myself am 30 years young.

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    OK, I'll bite, seeing as you asked nicely

    44 - but I'm still getting over the shock from when I turned 25

    Yup, I remember the days when computer games were white dots bouncing around making "blip" noises. My, how they've grown ...

    Certainly MTW has had me hooked for a few years now, and although I tried RTW that sort of went back in the box after about 2 months. What I really like about this style of game is its open-endedness, it's not just a matter of going from level to level in a repeatable predictable way, or how fast you can click a mouse. Replayability is where it's at, really, with so many factions, eras, and all the mods!

    The one advantage of being "older" is that I've spent a smaller proportion of my life on it compared to someone who's still a teenager but playing as often as I do....

    Just reminded me of the first time I saw a computer 'strategy' game. I think it was on a Commodore 64 - but not sure.

    It was 20 white dots on a black screen. Each white dot was a planet. Next to each white dot was a number. That was your army size. The goal was to overtake the universe.

    Each turn you dictated whether you'd invade another planet and, if so, how many men you'd send. The computer then gave you the result. If you won the white dot you'd invaded might be yellow.

    So yes, things have changed somewhat.

    And just last weekend I was explaining to a 12-year-old what Dungeons & Dragons was. He couldn't quite understand the concept of your character being written down in a book, and playing with people actually in the room with you.....

    Here's a big hello to any other old D&Ders out there

    Turned 16 in May.
    Hitting 16 is so very overrated, I'm also expecting that 18 will be the same.
