Hello. I'm just trying to find out if I am the oldest HL2 DM player out there. I am 54 years old. I've been playing video games from the earliest B&W arcade games - Pong, Tank, Red Baron, etc., and have had every gaming platform from the start. It's been almost a 40 year addiction! Who else is as sick as me?!?!?

Hi and welcome.
I think you may have the record, but i'm not sure Smile

Hmm. Not sure - I think TBR has an older player.

Welcome - sit down, put on your slippers and have a nice cup of tea.

Ah, so if this question was concerning the whole HL2 community and not only this board, then yes you definititly don't have the record.
Also, i think someone here is older than 54 yo, but i'm not sure if he would tell.

Osiris, I pretty much only play on TSGK servers (the BEST I've found whether I'm playing in the U.S. or Ukraine), so I guess my question was about here, not the community at large. I know I'm not unique and there are probably other old guys like me. But, I'm sure it's a small number and I'd just like to know if I recognize someone with mad skills who is near my age, the same, or older than me.

Guy in my WoW guild was 58, oldest player I've met in video games. I think the notion of "old" players is changing. At least for me, in my guild almost all of us were in our mid to late 20's with some of us 40+ and married. At 20 I was one of the younger players Razz

. Welcome and enjoy the forums Smile

I'll be 47 in April, and I don't just play on PC; we got our daughter a Wii for her birthday and we spend a lot of time using it for exercise!

The next thing is to set up glovepie for the Wiimote and use it in DM; should be interesting.

Good. I dont feel so old anymore either Laughing

I'm 31

DogSoldier · Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 04:48 Post subject:

yeah, at 32 I thought maybe I was nearing the end of my gaming career. Knowing that there are players out there with two decades on me warms the subcockles of my heart. Welcome soon-to-be-grandpa, your only as old as you feel... or think at least.

Plasmo_TSGK · Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 05:53 Post subject:

I guess I'm a bit of a whipper-snapper round these parts at 23. Oh well...so long as I don't start thinking of your guys' crowbars as canes all should be well Laughing

Sorry, had to do it Very Happy

Perhaps Osiris could set up a forum exclusively for us old farts. We could discuss 80's music, talk about the original Battlestar Gallactica and reminisce about the cute girl on the BBC Test Transmission Card who loved cross and noughts.

I can't keep up with the young ones. And they run around the maps too fast.

I need a nap.
