Ahh the old days when necromancers used to do it to corpses. Todays necros are pathetic, all they ever seem to use their powers on is threads.

retro gaming is a very popular geek pastime. many of them are much more fun than the production line crap out nowadays.

myself? (although you don't care) likes the care put into the games, recently i mostly play Indie games and Mods, ROM-hacks come next. (suggest any good ones?)

i retain my air of quiet ambiguity.

A quick chart of the people who have responded so far:



So there's a huge gap where people are in the sophomore-through-senior year in college, huh?  I wonder if it's statistically meaningful?

I'm going to guess that before any statisically meaningful data shows up we'll have to have many times the number of responses.

Im 16, gonna be 17 in...er....25 days!

Man, my first console was a Dreamcast. I had it until my parents won a PS2 in a company raffle, and i still played. I dont have it anymore though, i sent it off to my relatives in Russia (an action i regret, as the Dreamcast was awesome).

I hate tilesets. I prefer ASCII.

There are as many ways to play the game as there are socks on a battlefield.

I also started about 6 months before 3D. I didn't properly get into it until the 3D era, however.

And yeah, I hate graphics with a passion. ASCII all the way.

Hmmm...

I should have added 'Average' into the title...

Well, I guess I underestimated (over estimated?) the ages of players...

And at the people who think, "Wow, there are lots of young people on the net" you obviously haven't heard of "Runescape" and "Club Pengiun." :P

As a side note... I can't play ASCII games... I gotta use graphical tilesets...

And well, the internet is older than me... and today's society is almost completely intergrated in technology, with a few exceptions of Third World Countries... Look at the "Leapfrog" books, for example; they freakin' read to you!

This causes in a rise of people become less dependent on others and their parents, as why get your dad put on a lame spongebob voice impersonation when you can get the 'real' spongebob to read to ya?

I usually play both oldish games (Starcraft, Diablo, RCT1 & 2) and I play new games such as CoD4 & 5 (soon 6!) and are waiting on the extremely iNSANE next gen games... such as Heavy Rain... that is a FREAKIN INSANE AWESOME GAME!!!! If you haven't seen the trailers for it yet click this URL:
