Just how old ARE you people?

[DennyA]

Well, at midnight I turned 38. Hell, I don't FEEL 38, and I sure don't ACT it, either. (Alas, with the hairline, I may, however, LOOK it.) Still play games, darn giddy about my radio-controlled plane that arrived today, I collect comics, and my kid's just over nine months old while others I graduated from high school with have kids entering college now.

Professionally I can act 38. Hobby-wise, I'm about 14. Parentally, maybe 30 (not a stuffy old dad, but not out drinking while the baby's at home either). Marriage-wise, still 25, except that while we still want to do all the wacky impromptu travel, the parent thing reins us in.

So chronologically I may be 38, but I average out at 26.75 overall. Not too bad..

I'm guessing that we're all probably somewhere in our 20s mentally, but I was curious as to the crowd's chronological ages. I'm guessing an average of late 20s/early 30s, with the Jeffs Green and Lackey pushing the averages up a bit.

[Bullhajj]

Happy birthday, Denny. Add me to the over the hill crowd. I am 41.

[Sean Tudor]

37 here. Luckily I haven't lost any hair yet and I still look reasonably youthful - or so I have been told. :wink:

Oh and happy birthday !

[DennyA]

And happy b'day to Supertanker as well! We share our b'day with such luminaries as John Glenn, Nelson Mandela, and, er... uh... Vin Diesel and Audrey Landers.

[Supertanker]

Yes, I'm 37 now (or will be in about 90 minutes, this being PST). This also entitles me to an entire year of imitating Dennis the Farmer:

"I'm 37."
"What"
"I'm 37, I'm not old."

It's depressing when you move from one age survey bracket to the next. As of right now I'm in the 25-30 bracket, but on Monday I'll be in the 31-37 bracket. :shock:

[Creole Ned]

A few days ago I got a phone call and was asked if I wanted to take part in an entertainment survey. It sounded like it might be interesting, so I said sure. She began the survey.

"Are you in the 19-24 age category?"
"No."
"Oh. Are you in the 25-30 age category?"
"Um...no."
"I see. Are you under 19?"
"No."
"Are there any female members in the household?"
"Just my cat."
"Well, you're not quite in the age group we're looking for. Thank you for your time." Click.

I'm 38. 38 never felt so old as it did then. But the cat is actually older than me, once you convert her age into cat years, so I don't feel as bad as I might.

Happy birthday to both Denny and Supertanker. :)

[Supertanker]

When I turned 35, leaving the oh-so-marketed-to 18 to 34 demographic, I made up for it by granting myself use of the phrase, "You kids."

"Hey, let's go to McDonalds, aight? That's the way you kids talk now, isn't it?"

"What kind of music do you kids and your little friends like?"

"You kids have it easy compared to back in my day."

See? It's fun! Embrace your inner old fart!

[Anders Hallin]

I'm 21, but I've already gotten crotchety.

38 in 2 weeks....Right back at ya Denny - No kids, 4 pets and a wife who loves the impromptu travel thing. I don't collect comics so you one up me there but I am still playing games and reading Sci-Fi and fantasy...I think my aggregate age would fall somewhere around 24

[Ben Sones]

Happy birthday, Denny and Supertanker!

I turned 32 in June.

[Kalle]

I'm twenty years old as of the 7th of July.Haven't felt like a teenager in years, so it was about bloody time I felt.

[Reeko]

Even though I still think I'm 22, I'm actually 28.

Phenomenon42 tells us he's sixteen, but he either didn't vote in the poll or he lied about his age!

I don't want to make you feel bad, but just FYI cat years are not 7:1 as dog years are. Cats often live to be 20 yo, so the ratio is probably about 5:1 of our years. I hope the cat is STILL older than you by that ratio. ;)

[Robert Sharp]

I'm 29, which means I will be the big 3-0 in six months. I wonder if my wife would allow me one last hurrah with some teenager before I enter the next decade.

However, I got carded for buying nicorette gum for my wife the other day...and the age here in TN is 18...so I guess I still LOOK young.

[Reeko]

That's a nice little bell curve we've got going in the voting results.

I'll be 37 in September.

I'm 38, but I'll be 39 in about three weeks.

I'm teaching high school kids right now (for two weeks in the summer they come to college and see what it's like).

I said "Woot!" the other day and they all thought I was cool (or at least they said so and asked if I played Counterstrike). What was really cool was that the girls were the ones asking if I played Counterstrike. High school girls playing Counterstrike!

I felt young.

[Jason McCullough]

You're all old!

Yeah, she's still older, although she doesn't seem so when she is skidding around corners at 2 a.m., chasing invisible mice. :)

I'll be 39 in September. It's interesting to see that for a solo number in the poll, 38 has racked up a large score.
Don't even try to ask me about my opinions on the younger generation.

[DennyA]

Yeah, the 38 is interesting... We're all the kids who were in high school when the Ataris, VICs, Apple IIs, and Ti99/4s were shipping, I guess, and had time to become game addicts.

The older folks were dealing with punch cards in the IBM labs and chasing girls in college, so they didn't have time to get addicted to Temple of Apshai...

I'm 21; turning 22 in October. But I'm Canadian, so I'm actually 23, going on 24, in American years.

Bullshit. You get less age for every American calendar year in Canada. In other words, you're only 17 going on 16.5 (at least in the US).

I was refering to the legal drinking age. 19 here.

[Jason Levine]

Are you closer to 51 or to dead?

Depends on how you look at it. :wink: Actually, I'm exactly 51.

[Jason Levine]

Yeah, we can never let them ban you Jason. Me and the other Not As Old As You Farts would have nobody to feel, er, superior to!

I may be old, but at least I'm not as old as Jason! :)

Thanks a lot, Tim. That's very, er, reassuring.

As a 24 year old, I strenuously object to being lumped in with the 18 year olds.

[Tyjenks]

This is really depressing. 122 votes and I'm still the only one in the last category. :cry: At least a few of you are old enough to be my contemporaries (more or less). I've never been one for handles, but I'm thinking of adopting the one in parentheses below.

If it makes you feel better Mr. Levine, sir, you post like a 31-37 year old.

That's what I like about you Ty. Always sucking up. :)

What did ya' say Jason? I'm sorry. I was in the corner of your yard "watering" the flowers.

You'll understand the lumping after you pass 30. :-)

[westyx2]

24, going on 25 in september

That's OK, Ty. Your bladder is probably just acting like my ancient one.

Like that's going to happen. We're going to be 18-24 FOREVAR!!!

[Denice Cook]

37 and holding... :)

[Chris]

36, will be 37 in October. I still think of myself as a teenager mostly, except when I have to do physical activity then I feel like I'm in my 60s.

[Jason Levine]

OK, so who's the other geezer? I was feeling mighty lonely there.

So do half of America's teenagers.

There isn't one, we just spoofed an IP address and voted again to make you feel less lonely, you old coot.

Ya know, with the kids never coming to visit, the isolation can get to you here in the Home, so I appreciate the thought. :wink:

[john black]

I guess that I'm the other old geezer. But I'm very immature.

[Rob Slater]

I can't believe nobody picked on my posting my age in hex. Maybe it was too obscure.

[XPav]

Octal would be slightly obscure. Hex? Nah.

Try harder. Encode your age with some sort of error check. :lol:

Welcome to the club, John. Maturity is definitely not an asset around here. :wink:

8/15/55.

It does depend on whether you use the Japanese date or the
US date, since they were different at the time of the signing (if
I recall correctly) due to the date line. It's even more confusing,
since I was actually born in the US Army hospital in Osaka,
Japan ;-)

But then, I'm only occasionally a game reviewer; mostly hardware,
so maybe your, uh, fame is safe.

Cheers,

Loyd


Ah - you must have also been in a military family?

Yeah, I know you've been Mr. Hardware for years for CGW and more recently Extremetech, etc. Been a fan of your coverage for many years.

Not just a military family, but a true child of the nuclear age.

My mother is Japanese, and was at Nagasaki in 1945 (she was 14 at the time). My father was/is from Texas, and was a guard for the AEC during the Bikini Atoll H-Bomb tests. He was one of the last people off the island during the first hydrogen bomb test. He tells about the engineers arming the weapon, and everyone sprinting for the landing craft on the beach. He makes is sound very funny, but I'm sure everyone was jumpy as hell, even though the actual detonation was triggered remotely.

I like to tell people I glow in the dark ;-)

Weeeee!

Another Poll!

I'm old enough to know better!
