I dunno man, its VERY weird to me, when someone playing games at the age of 25+. Maybe it is just me.

You're young, and haven't gotten used to the idea of games being for other than kids or youngsters yet, but just wait another ten years and see what you think then.

DominionsFAN,

Let me ask you something; Is it wierd to think of people over 25 doing ANYTHING?

Further, what do imagine your hobbies will be when you are 27 or 43?

Yo

When I get a chance to play on a PC, I go for Age of Wonders 2, Kohan: Ahriman's Gift, The War Engine, and when I have a whole lot of time to spend, SEIV Gold.
Another Mac user - yeah!

I am also glad that Dom II will be out for OS X - that Unix base paying off�

Escape Velocity: Nova is a pretty fun game - I haven't played it in quite a while though - now available for windoze too: www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evn

p.s. I like Nick Cave also.

I think that gaming has nothing to do with ages...If you like to play games, why should you stop?
I dont get it.

Nothing bad about being about a 30-years-old Grognard, because i plan to be one too...
I'll be like Uncle-PDF when i grow up!
Well and good, kid !
*old man rant on* Huuuh, at your age I played Squad Leader, but I thought that nowadays teens weren't able to play anything but console games and clickfest RTS ! *rant off*

I can adopt you as my nephew, but only if you stop trolling the Mod thread ! !

If you want to know, i'm not normal teen. Well, along being 70% psychopat, 57% freak and migthy 9% "mass teenager"(and that is ultra low result...), i have same haristyle as they had in the 70's-80's and i listen to "realy old" music like Uriah Heep and Led Zeppelin. I also wear clothes that are "out".

Yes, i will accept this great honor of being your nephew. I haven't trolled the Mod thread for a while. In fact, i think i'll go and post something constructive there...
