View Full Version : How old are you?
This isnt a usless poll.. I think it would be interesting to know the age range of the community..
It's about time we had this poll. I would have done it myself, but I'm too lazy http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Playing puter games isn't a sign or indicator of immaturity...
It's a proven fact that playing computer games sharpens the reflexes, it's also a proven fact that playing computer games improves certain logic parts of the brain, it's also a proven fact that as one gets older keeping the mind sharp and active improves the chances of retaining mental cognizance, thus the older we get the more computer games we should play http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I've always tried to say that to those who think games are stupid.
"Stop playing those stupid games!"
"I am just training my brain for some higher lever of logic and reflexes."
"I think you're just waisting your time."
"That's what you think. Just wait and see when I become a great warlord or the emperor of the universe."

well, there's always an exception....(me)
seems like more and more, my urge to get a bunch of pipebombs and lay it beforehand and blow it up to eleminate enemies grows, instead of actually shooting rifles and tossing grenades.

*Analyzing the results of the poll* (not to be taken too seriously,, feel free to make your own analysis)
Most of 10-12 year old are not interested in complex caming and probably don't have money for good enough computer to play the latest games and daddy/mommy won't buy them one.
As the intelligence increases 13-15 become interested in more complex gaming and they also like to express their anger by shooting people online.
16-18 year old people. They are the potential market for gaming. They have enough free time and money to spend on computers and games.
19-21 year old are plagued by new and more demanding schools. The first few years of studying drags some people away from gaming.
Some 22-24 year old realize that they really have to do something in their lives and decide to do something about it.
Some 25-27 still live in their fantasy world as they did when they were 22-24 years old.
Some of the 28-30 year old realize they were wrong when they thought they have to do something about their lives when they were 22-24 years old. They simply didn't have a life important enough to do something about it. So more gaming it is for them to escape from their reality.
31-33. Having their first child drags them away from computers.
34-36 year old people have an idea that their wife can take care of their children while they do some important "programming" at their office/study room.
Those 37+ year old who still play games are either geniuses, crazy or otherwise bizarre people.
Aye m8, i see by your name your a fellow countryman Hilandor http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif , as for being 37+ and falling into one of those brackets, well i hope to reach "Genius" status by the time i'm 37, thats 5 years away so best get working on it.............

Well you want to sharpen your reflexes play those pod racing games.....I love those...zig zagging through tight turns at 650miles an hour...just my kind of fun......same thing on flight sims....I take planes down through New York at about 20 feet..dodging buildings....
Though with those pod racing games you can't think of anything....it takes 100% concentration..no thought no nothing just a zombie staring at the screen.....you do that and you'll make it without hitting a wall once...
As for age I'm 17......I have always had an older mind....it's just my personality that blocks people from seeing it......
