Age check

[Tikarra]

I was wondering how old everyone here is.

I'm 21 and my Fiance (warriorman) is 20.

[Jagzmtg]

I'm 22 and I don't have a fiancee so she's 0 :tongue:

[Tikarra]

LOL! I was only answering for him because he's too busy playing on the test servers. Plus he would probably just peak then leave anyway.

[Gormash]

I'm 31 (turning 32 this July) and my girlfriend is 29 (and a hell of a mage). ^_^

[rgirty]

I'm 29, wife is 23 and also a great mage!

[Tikarra]

I think it's really neat how girls are nto this thing. When my Fiance first said I should play I laughed at him because I seriously thought he was jokeing!

[Baal]

My fiance hates video games.

I'll be 26 in 21 days.

[Tikarra]

Happy early birthday!


I NEVER played any sort of video game till around a year and 5 months ago

[sabelm]

im 15=), and 3 60's

[Anderson Cooper]

Just turned 23...Never really been into video games...God I hate my friend for this. Turning me into a nerd.

[Tikarra]

LOL! *deep voice* "Join the nerdy side Anderson."

[Barbourman]

I'm 26.

My wife will NEVER play this game. I've asked numerous times.

[Tikarra]

Tell her "Just try it once and I will stop bothering you."
She will get hooked. That's how my fiance got me going on it.

[Chells]

I feel very old now :undecided:

[Tikarra]

come on! Share your age O' wise one.

[Barbourman]

I'll try! I don't know how she'd play though, as I'm always on the computer!

[Tikarra]

LOL! I get the computer after the baby goes to sleep. no point in trying any other time because she is too distracting.

[Chells]

:grin: Past spry ages ago and still short of the adoration of venerable. :grin:

[Mr_Teatime]

I am ageless. I have seen countless years and will see countless more. I was there when the world was born, I will be there when the final day is done.

*coughsixteencough*

My girlfriend plays. I got her the game last christmas, and she loves it.

[Barbourman]

I am ageless. I have seen countless years and will see countless more. I was there when the world was born, I will be there when the final day is done.

.

Well spoken for a sixteen year old :)

[Atoz]

I am 44/male/portland. There is this gal that won me over to her by having this game installed on her computer and then she would invite me to come over to play WoW at her house. Then she tries to distract me off the game (PvGF).

[Caderbery]

19, 20 in 21 days

[ninjakoi]

Just turned 29. WoW was a belated birthday gift. :grin: Hubby is 30 and a gamer geek from waaaaaaaay back, so he's ridiculously excited that I'm playing. He's starting tonight. Yay for the referral program!

[Jondar]

I feel quite young. 20. I wasn't aware so many old fogies played. Wouldn't have thought you could find the time?

[Freet]

Some rocks call me grandpa. :undecided:

[yavvy]

I'll try! I don't know how she'd play though, as I'm always on the computer!
Get another computer :wink:

16/female/Norwegian.

[parody]

[DotComm]

I'm 21, fiance is 29, we both play.

I've been gaming since I was about yay high tho:
/e waves hand around at about the height of an 8 year old child

Was playing EQ2 until the other half started playing WoW. I bought a copy myself and haven't looked back since!

I bet if you go to the blizzard official forum then you will find tons of teens there. Probably most teens don't want to stick around on a forum of "Old" people.

[Jagzmtg]

Plus, we make too much sense, and we don't whine and yell enough. :tongue:

[SkipsH]

I always wished that I had a birthday on the 29th of February so I could come onto threads like these and say I was 6. But I dont, so Im 20 on the 22nd June.

[Tikarra]

Plus, we make too much sense, and we don't whine and yell enough. :tongue:


LOL. I know some that are just as bad though.

[CMK]

Plus, we make too much sense, and we don't whine and yell enough. :tongue:

[Halfacre]

28

No way in hell my wife would ever play. She's finally just now stopped making fun of me when I'm wearing my headset :thumbsup:

[Inferknow]

I'm 16/male/Las Vagas.
Hey there is nothing wrong with older people playing.:thumbsup:

[parody]

i like a forum with 'older' people because their more helpful and not angery because thier voice is breaking like crazy or acting 'kwel' for someone on the other side of the world.
but i don't mind how old someone is when in forums or on wow

[Tikarra]

the only thing that gets me about some of the younger people that play WOW is they can be really rude and stuck up for the stupidest reasons. Just last night ther was this one girl that asked for help and when somebody tried to but failed she started really going at him so I told her if she didn't want bad advice then to shut up and go look on the internet for it and quit being so rude. No one is going to want to help someone that acts like that.

Then you get the horny ones that run around hitting on your character "I would like to see what's under all that armor." Eww! get away already. that's just way too weird. I don't get the whole online dateing thing...

[Seeo]

I'm 25 - 56 Nelf Hunter
My Wife is 20 - 60 Nelf Priest
My son is 1 - 1 Nelf Warrior

Ok ok ok, my son DOES have a t00n but hasn't really played very much... ok ok ok, he plays with the unplugged 6 year old keyboard and the laser mouse that doens't work worth a damn. But it keeps him busy! :wave:

[Zahyuri]

I'm 20 with a slew of 25ish characters. Lol I suffer from Toon ADD I guess.

My fiance is 22, I don't think I can ever get him to play this game though. He does ask a lot of questions and watches me play though. Maybe I can trick him into playing it... Mwahaha

[OrpheusDeus]

24 here and living the bachelor life, just don't tell my girlfriend that or she'll have me back in the dog-house =/.

[s4nder]

I'm 19, gonna be 20 on 9/11. My turtle's birthday is yet unknown but she is 19 aswell :shocked:.

[Seeo]

I'm 19, gonna be 20 on 9/11. My turtle's birthday is yet unknown but she is 19 aswell :shocked:.
Turtles can live a long... looooooooong time. Wouldn't be surprised if it outlives YOU! Even if it was 100 years old already!

THIS (http://musing.wordpress.com/2006/03/26/the-oldest-tortoise-dies/) tortoise is believed to have lived 250 years

[s4nder]

Hmm, mine's like this (http://www.herp.it/indexjs.htm?SpeciesPages/EmysOrbic.htm) and they usually only live for up to about 50 years in captivity. Still quite lots for something that small.

[Bryant]

Yay for old people.

Ill be turning 17 tommorow, but I wont be home. Im going to Cornerstone music festival in Illonis. I live in Jacksonville, Florida, and we're driving, so thats going to be a hoot. :)

I didn't expect so many of you to be so old, either. I thought I would see teenagers "OMG IM 13 WTFPWNED" this thread.

Ill be making babies when I return.

[Freet]

Yay for old people.

Yeah...Yay for us. :undecided:

*Takes another shot of prune juice*

[Tikarra]

Ill be making babies when I return.



i hope you don't mean that exactly....

[Bryant]

I didn't. Its just something I like to say =D.

But I'm back and Im 17 now. I don't feel any older... but I can get into R rated movies now! =D

[HR_Hellfire]

Wow.. I am so horribly of the younger demographic..
17 years old.. Male.. and of the true blue Canadian Cracka stew.

[Thanhert]

25 here, but married so I feel like I am 50.

[AlertGames]

wow. I didn't expect there to be so many people older than 20 playing. Considering work and family. Do you play often?

im 15.

[Barbourman]

Wow.. I am so horribly of the younger demographic..
17 years old.. Male.. and of the true blue Canadian Cracka stew.


For some reason, I feel you wear a trench coat. Am I right?

[Skahr]

21 on 9/20. GF is 20, but claims she will never play. I once got her to run my char somewhere and showd her the /train and /dance, she seem'd to enjoy it, then logged very fast. :)

[Eton]

15 here, bleh i feel like an outsider here, everyone (almost) seems to be 20+ here :tongue:

[NocturneNight]

<- 20. And I'll be playing to 60! :wink:

[Brene]

:grin: 33 :grin:

[Stigg]

20...

I think the reason you see most people on these forums as 20+ is because we have "actual" jobs and come here to post during our "unscheduled" breaks...aka when our boss returns to his desk.

[icutyoubad]

My wife and I are both 28. I play voraciously, she doesn't play at all. I have tried and tried, and actually got her as far as making a character, but that was it. I have offered to buy another copy of the game, let her play on teh "good" computer (teh desktop) while I hunch over my laptop, but still it is a no go.

Oh well. Maybe one day...

And yes, I have kids and a job and all that. This is the only forum that is not websensed at work so I hang out here for a large portion of the 8 hours.

[Idol]

I am 2007 years old. I am Jesus.

Nah, not really. I used to look like Jesus, admittedly younger and more stylish, but then I got dreadlocks, and now I've had to cut THEM off 'cos they went all wierd and fuzzy.

I'm feeling a little depressed.

Oh, and 16.

[HR_Hellfire]

For some reason, I feel you wear a trench coat. Am I right?
Not on your life. NEVER. Black t-shirts ftw (even at -20 degrees C).

[Fjura]

I am 23 ; My sister that plays is 26 :azn: :wave:

[goat song]

20...

I think the reason you see most people on these forums as 20+ is because we have "actual" jobs and come here to post during our "unscheduled" breaks...aka when our boss returns to his desk.

haha

that is EXACTLY what i do. this is my first office jorb and i already know how it all works!

i am 20 too.

[Ezzaral]

haha

that is EXACTLY what i do. this is my first office jorb and i already know how it all works!

i am 20 too.
/raise hand
Also guilty of forums at work. If I'm on the computer at home, I'm playing WoW :smiley:
35 here, wife is 38 and played for awhile but quit because it just encouraged me to play more, which irritated her hehe
Work and family definitely cut down the available gaming time, but I play games in lieu of watching TV, which I find to be just too mind-numbingly inane these days.

[Inferior]

20, almost 21... GF is 21 and hates games/wow... I still play when she's asleep next to me... Wireless keyboard and mouse ftw...

[Vayron]

Im 13,Im a NE hunter

[Mooster]

14 years young here. Planning to be a Dwarf Rogue.

[Blaizze]

24, soon to be 25.

[Shellar]

Twenty-three.

[Palm]

20 + 3 to top it off.

[Hollen]

I'm 15 with no 60s yet, but 56 is close!

[Jolann]

37, birthday next month ...

[Raynor]

I am 24 years old. :laugh:

[memetootoo]

I’ve gotten my gf into quiet a bit of nerdy stuff, and she has taught me how to present myself better, such as little things as dress nicer, and to shop at stores like express. I must say I do like my new style much better then the jeans and T-shirt I’m used to wearing :D But so far no video games. Tried to teach her to play halo once, she didn’t take too kindly to that. I love my gf to death but I’m secretly jealous of couples that play WoW together. :P We live in different states so this would be a good way for us to spend some extra time together, because I’m going to be playing this game anyways. So I was wondering for the guys out there, how did you “trick” your significant other into playing this game. And for the girls out there what do you think would be a good way to convince her to try this game.

Convincing a girl to go out with me, I can do it blind folded, wearing a clown costume. But getting her to play this game, which I love, requires a certain something that I seem to be lacking….


BTW in 19

Hope this forum picks up again, as I think its very intersting.

[kcma]

dating gf from HS and then went to college? some girls are just not into games :p if it makes you feel any better my hot and hardcore gamer ex-gf and i broke up. /shrug

but no i didn't try to get her into gaming, she's always loved FF, D2X, GTA and a bunch of other games. and Happycow... she's not as hardcore a gamer (yet, muhaha), but she also used to play alot of CS and C&C so gaming isn't entirely new to her.

***

i think the biggest benefit of having a gamer gf is that you don't get nagged on HOW much time you play. i think it's imortant that couples have different hobbys and spend at least some time apart (well, not a problem for you :p).

***

i know memetootoo, we need to become roomates! you bring back the girls and i'll introduce games to them ;)

[Mysticknight]

Meh, I'm 16...

I don't think it matters a whole lot, but oh well...

:wave:

[memetootoo]

The way I see it girls spend an extraorginary amout of time shopping, not to mention money, on clothes. So the way I see it, no girl should nagg a guy about how much time he spends playing. Because as we all know girls will shop form 8-10. :\

As always your posts make me laugh KMCA

[kcma]

well, unfortunately a relationship is not always about fairness ;) and you might still be nagged anyway :p

call her best friend to take the girlfriend out shopping while you play WOW in peace :p and yes majority of the girls have the unique ability to shop all day long...

[memetootoo]

Very wise and very true, KCMA. Which brings me to my next question, exactly how old might you be...

[Dynatos]

22, single, B.Sc. E.E., B.Sc.H. C.S.

Project Manager for a major telecommunications provider.

[Blaizze]

As for girls nagging guys about games... my guy sometimes nags me about too much gaming....

[memetootoo]

Thats only cause you two dont play together :P

[kcma]

As for girls nagging guys about games... my guy sometimes nags me about too much gaming....

well, the best advice i can give you is... you know kcma is single right *wink wink*??

well, until happycow says kcma is not single anymore anyway :p

***

meme22: just turned 27 ;) i have... unique and insteresting experiences growing up :D

[memetootoo]

Very nice, 27 and already a chef.

And first question, who is this happycoll you refer too? Second question can other people see him too....

[kcma]

Very nice, 27 and already a chef.

And first question, who is this happycoll you refer too? Second question can other people see him too....

chef is a misnomer <3 i'm a line cook or chef de partie if you wanna get fancy in a reall high end restaurant :p i just don't bother correcting ppl who calls me a chef anymore esp since i'm over qualified for a chef in a lower end place.

Happycow is my friend Ploy who i've been crushing o n:D but i'm in Asia atm and she's in CA /shrug. maybe one day ppl will see happycow on wwn :p but u can PM me until then.

[InfectedWithRage]

28 here in October. Been trolling around here for a little bit- (work access allows only forums) I'd like to see some more ways of gaming while married with 2 kids... x) HELP!

[kcma]

that's 4 ppl, find a cousin or best friend and you have instant 5men.

[Nitsujcm]

KMCA is really a 6 year old genius and warcraft prodigy.




as for me? twenty3.


My wife and I fight over warcraft – thus she won’t touch it on principle alone.

[kcma]

23 and married? no wonder you lack the wisdom to turn your wife into a wow addict ;)

[Wasabee]

Wow if you wife can't understand you you need to do one of the following:
1. Get a new hobby
2. Get a new wife
3. Seek out people in game that are husband and wife, tell your wife about them.
4. Play less with Wow and more with your wife
5. Get a bikini wax (Yeah I know your a dude)
6. Take up another hobby in addition to WoW
7. Try to beat Dance Dance Revolution on 5 Feet Mode
8. Take your wife to Thailand and pay more then a dollar for lobster
9. Become a millionaire
10. Read every single post by KCMA. Then read them backwards.

Ok so don't do #2, try a mix of the rest. I'm sure you met your wife PWoW. (Pre-World of Warcraft). If you were a closet geek/nerd and never told her...you are screwed and better fix it.

(Took me 6 months into dating to tell my now wife that I played 40K. Took 2 years of marriage for her to realize "I REALLY like" videogames. Took 2 months of WoW for her to hate the game, and 6 months more for her to join me!)

Marriage = Perseverance + Sacamawidget (Haven't learned the last part yet...)

[kcma]

or send your wife to kcma. i can help.

[natureday]

Wow, everyone is so young in here.
I am about to be 33.
I have a 25 year old husband, so it makes me feel even older.
Anna:)

[kcma]

Wow, everyone is so young in here.

dood... that's hot... but i think you need someone a bit older... maybe someone 27?? :D

[Nitsujcm]

1. Get a new hobby

I currently do Wow, photography, Martial arts, Theatre, and have about half a dozen other hobbies.

2. Get a new wife

Don’t get me wrong – she’s great – we just argue about wow.

3. Seek out people in game that are husband and wife, tell your wife about them.

Yea – I did that. In fact, my best friend and his girl friend play.

4. Play less with Wow and more with your wife

I do both as much as possible. : )

5. Get a bikini wax (Yeah I know your a dude)

??

6. Take up another hobby in addition to WoW

See question 1.

7. Try to beat Dance Dance Revolution on 5 Feet Mode

I own DDR and I am working on it.

8. Take your wife to Thailand and pay more then a dollar for lobster

Greece, New York, Paris, and London and upcoming plans for Italy aren’t enough?

9. Become a millionaire

Trying my hardest. Everyone send me a $1.

10. Read every single post by KCMA. Then read them backwards.

Psh- I do that everyday.

[kcma]

i guess u just need teh bikini wax now <3

[Nitsujcm]

Fine.


But I still don't see how this is gonna help...

[memetootoo]

I dont think girls will ever understand guys and their video games. Well no, I take that back, most...wont. As I've said before girls like to shop, and we like our vijagames :D And I dont think its really important that my gf likes WoW, it would be cool, but not important in terms of relationship, thats what friends are there for ;)

[kcma]

yeh, just play wow everytime she asks you to go buy lotions in the mall with her... she'll have to understand <3

[memetootoo]

And lets not forget, tops, bottoms(is that what girls call them? I call them pants), jewlery, accessories, shoes, bags, hand bags, makeup, the list goes on...

You'll have plenty of nag free playing time :D

[Stickmatrix]

15 - Teen Powah!

lol ddr on 5 feet lol
come on
i can do ITG on 13 Feet ( harder than DDR 10 feet )

[Javal]

Ok I know there are moe older folks playing WOW. Did I say older....I mean more experienced. I remember when I was young all we had to play with was rocks...but that was ok...they were newer then.

53 and earned every minute of it.

Javal

[kcma]

well, i'll be playing some game when i'm 53 also so i'm not gonna tease you <3

[yavvy]

Shop videogames? :wink:

[Wasabee]

Being married I feel 53.

WoW one day this post (a year from now) should have at least 2 posts from each person.

[kcma]

u know... going shopping doesn't sound so bad right now... the only 1 i'm going shopping with atm is my mom >.<

[Wasabee]

Wow you guys are way off.

The following is a better representation of relating womens enjoyment of ______ as guys enjoy video games:

Chick Flick
Meaningful Conversation (with Friends)
Friedndly Get togethers
Shopping (with no limits)
Reading a good book
Cuddling with an item other then a SO (like a bear/blanket/etc.)

If you say _____ is to women as video games to guys = Death
Dating
Flowers/Candy
Talking about feelings
Meaningful Conversation (with SO)
Cuddling
Back Rub
Getting away
anything that can be conceived as a replacement for your gf/wife.
anything that can be conceived as a reason to not be with your gf/wife.

and if you use these as an excuse as to why you play...as in I least I don't:
Drink
go to Gentlemen Clubs
Read Mens Mags
Smoke
Use Drugs
Go to the bar
Go to sporting events
cheat on gf/wife

Seriously the only way to get her to truely understand is to ask her what needs she has that are outside her relationship with you, then tell her you have the same desires. If her "things" are more physical, then relate the feeling of doing the physical things as to the feeling of playing video games. It also helps, if in your relationship, you are meeting each others needs in the realtionship.

My wife plays wow after intially protesting. The times she bug me about playing is when she feels her other needs are not met. (some times I can win points by buying her in game gear to tool out her toon.)

[kcma]

i miss happycow... i think it's time i leave asia and go back to the states <3

[Timmyraciti]

im 14 in 4 days :D :D :D

[kcma]

u know... in alot of countries that aren't so... puritanical... like US, you'll have reached the age of consent :D

[memetootoo]

i miss happycow... i think it's time i leave asia and go back to the states <3


awww cute, may i ask which part of asia did you go to? :D

[kcma]

mostly spending time with family in taiwan, but japan, thailand, macau, china too :p

[Wasabee]

u know... in alot of countries that aren't so... puritanical... like US, you'll have reached the age of consent :D

So KCMA your reapplying for you NAMBLA card or what?

Yeesh.

US should raise the age of consent to 21. At least you can legally be irresponsible and not get anyone else in trouble. (Legal Drinking age is 21 in the States. Buying booze for people under the drinking age is punished pretty hard.)

[kcma]

but it's next to impossible to get caught buying underaged kiddies alcohol -_-

unless you're flirting with the underage looking undercover narks :p

***

well, happycow is legal age :p i'm off the hook :D
