Re: How old are you?
Eh not that anyone cares for the local king of randomness, but I'm 18, gonna be 19 come June, and if i start today, I could have all the things wrong with the younger generations done by 65.

Re: How old are you?
Man, I didn't expect to be one of the youngsters in this forum. But I guess most of the 'rebellious' teenagers are playing RTW and M2TW.
If it's any conselation (if you guys need it anyhow), my dad is twice my age (he's 50, I'm 24) and he's still better at football (the european indoor variant) and cycling. And I play football twice a week and go cycling with my dad every week.
Re: How old are you?
No kidding Phil. Also 24 here. My lady friend refuses to believe older gentlemen play video games...I should make her check out this thread. :D

Re: How old are you?
It's my birthday today! Bringing me to a full 29 summers.
Re: How old are you?
I admit I'm a little surprised by the results thus far. I figured most of us here would be a bit older than what I'm seeing, given MTW's age. Good to see it still has fairly broad appeal.
Happy birthday, mate.It's my birthday today! Bringing me to a full 29 summers.

Re: How old are you?
I shall claim to be 44, even though the birthday that takes me up a category is drawing inexorably upon me.

Re: How old are you?
Seems like our moderator staff is experiencing their second or third spring in here. Good to have you around! Since I started forum activity, I'm paranoid of being surrounded exclusively by premature teenagers (no offence intended to you under 20).
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, History Geek!

Re: How old are you?
Definitely the youngest here, 14 :D
Re: How old are you?
Gadzooks! I thought I'd be one of the older generation here.
I'm 36. Which means I remember playing computer games in the 80s. Which is probably why I'm so impressed by MTW
Re: How old are you?
31, going on 17.
Re: How old are you?
Hey, a great game is a great game. Even though I'm "younger" by comparison, that doesn't mean I judge games based solely on graphics. If I did, I would be in the RTW and M2TW sections instead. If a game has pretty graphics, that's a plus, imo. Priority #1 for me is gameplay, and even though there are a few quirks I disagree with, MTW has great all around gameplay, flat out.

Re: How old are you?
Very true. 'Twas my fault for underestimating the good taste of all you "whippersnappers" here.

Re: How old are you?
I should reinstall M:TW... It's seems more appropriate for my age category than M2:TW.
I'm 29 btw...

Re: How old are you?
I'm a youthfull 54 and I did first play computer games back in the 80's on a Commodore 64. However, my real background was wargamming - playing games with model soldiers - all periods from ancient to modern day. Back in the 80's I was playing at a National standard (in the UK) and it took up a lot of my time. However, getting married put an end to that!!
I think the reason I love MTW so much is that it mirrors that wargame experience - without the hassle of painting figures and travelling to a draughty church hall to play somebody. When you add the strategic element and the fact the game is so replayable, it is not surprising that MTW has such an appeal. I also have a 9 year old son, who is keen on PC games, PS2 etc and I look forward to introducing him to the delights of MTW in a year or 2's time.
As for the poll, it is fascinating - when I joined the Guild I expected everybody to be about 16 and I would be old enough to be most members' grandfather - in fact the reverse is true. A real mix of all ages and a wealth of wisdom and insight into all aspects of the game and, via the Monastry etc, history and the challenge of interactive history. So the poll proves beyond all doubt that we are not all geeky teenage boys in need of a life, spending our lives in darkened rooms - some of us are geeky old men!!!
