Just curious how old people in this community are, it would be nice to have a better understanding of the general demographic we are talking to and deal with...

So System Wars, how old are you?

I turn 39 this year. I remember the 2600 days firsthand as well as my IBM PCjr and the c64 and I've been gaming this whole time.

Same here... 38 myself... it's been a crazy journey. Started with 2600 and intellivision as well as a Apple iic back in the early 80s.

Reflected on this yesterday, when I was playing Mortal Kombat X with my 12 year old son... Thought to myself... wow things have changed. Back in the early 90s there were parents protesting about this game.

Same here. I'm getting too old for this place. But posting here from work is the only cure for boredom and this place is a decent place to come for fanboy lolz and news.

Let's face it guys, SW is the only place where we can come and be immature manchildren on the internet. This place brings me back to my childhood arguments about Nintendo vs SEGA (SEGA FTW!)

Must be why we all keep coming back... lol

I thought the community was about college to working class adult age. I'm 25 going on 26. Also Where my 50+ year old gamers at? Them OGs need to be honored.

I guess you're going to assume and not read anything, so that's fine.

I've read it nothing there shows they are playing games to the standard that I consider to be a gamer. There is a difference between a gamer and a casual in my eyes.

Ah, so you're just making up your own rules? The average gamer only plays around a few hours per week, which makes sense. If you're in your 30's with life fully under way, time to game isn't the highest of priorities. Also, if the average time is 3 hours per week then that means not too many people are sitting around playing video games like a full time job.

23. Seems there's a lot of us here sitting at that age. Being a father makes you age quicker than your age of birth can depict. I'm damn exhausted, lol. I joined Gamespot back in November 2005, been a long ways since then.

@ConanTheStoner: 40's feel rough depending on what kind of punishment you've put your body through. I was a sports player from like 5 years old. Contact football, hockey, karate, then the Army in my 30's. I feel now dude. Blown out right hip, back issues, hernia. But I still think about getting on skates and playing hockey again. My mind doesn't want to believe I can't do things anymore.

I know your pain, the Army kicked the living shit out of my body. Broken Wrist, twice dislocated knee, broken every single one of my fingers (at different times), 4 broken ribs and a broken scapula and I was a tank gunner! Wouldn't change a thing though.

@GarGx1: Yep my injures are all Army as well. I've broken both hands and an ankle as well. But got the Bill, going to college and maybe the first college grad from my family thanks to the Army brother.

Never insulted you prior to your American post. I was trying to have a conversation, but you were completely close minded. You're the one that went on about "stupid American standards" and such. Shown how little your mind is.
