No such thing as 'Lousy' old friend.

In need of practice. Yes.
Lousy. No

Amazing... you seem to have an obsession with my hair. It's a bit disgusting actually, you know...

Hehe, true. We played Doom I & II at Softgold for hours every day, 1 1/2 years or longer, 1994-1995 or so, when doing customer hotline. I was not the best among my collegues then, but when deathmatching with my friends on small private LAN parties, I was a killer

At first, that is

When they put a big wooden lid on top of you and nail it down.

I don't think you can ever be to old to play computer games, and if you have the desire and ability to play you should never let anyone tell you that you are too old either!

edit, or at least ignore them if they do.

Unless you're a quant. Then you should just lay down and let the Octs kill ya. (oops wrong game)

Hehe, Rogue did you get into the wrong jumpgate there by any chance? doing a "Brennan"! and got yourself transported to the wrong part of the galaxy, or even to an alternative universe

Kill the conflux.. erm Khaak.. well whatever stomp those bad guys now

Hmm! I've often wondered about this

But as I'm already thirty, I figure I'll never stop

Especially as I'm looking forward to several games upcoming!

I reckon that the day you stop wanting to play a future release is the day you could finally call it a day. For me, I haven't got Broadband, and I really want to play online against my peers and other like minded folk.

This is never more true when I think of the fun that coiuld be had playing X2OL. The members of this forum would testify that that game alone woill be worth playing.

If gaming continues to be fun and relaxing I'll keep playing. Providing of course I can still play! some games are now so darn ridiculous to learn!

Grow up and act your age, stop playing silly computer games, there for children...

I wondered, at 47, if she had a good point

II will only stop playing when I am no more.

Well seeing as we have had age threads in the past with venerable fans into their 70's replying i'd guess 47 is far from too old

so i'd have to say no she hasn't got a good point

Yup. There I will be, an old man, walking stick by my side having a scrap with some Xenon!

I think I just get more picky as I get older...

Gandalf The White · Post by **Gandalf The White** » Fri, 15. Nov 02, 23:13

Am already getting picky about games! I hate Mortal Combat style games now, give me a good game like X or something like Cossacks anyday now. I like a game to last, not to get through in a minute!
