Am currently 20, but will be turning 21 before the end of the month, so I put myself in the 21-25 range. Right now I'm in University going for an Earth Science degree (think Geology, Geography, Geomatics, Geo[whatever]). Dwarf Fortress didn't hurt in my making that choice. My Dad's far more of a nerd than I am, but I learned most of my nerd-fu on my own.

First consoles were the NES/Colecovision that he had from when he was young. Who else remembers the mario bros / duck hunt split cartridge? A few summers ago I played part of the first Duke Nukem (when he wore a pink vest) on a full-tower PC that actually had a turbo button. After some time reading game magazines I actually cared more about learning about the industry and developers than about playing the games themselves. Regarding computers, I messed around with booting multiple operating systems on my desktop, but once I moved and got myself a laptop, I've been trying hard not to break it since replacing the firmware for all this proprietary hardware would be a pain in the neck.

Edit: second early console was a colecovision, not an atari.

We're all secretly mantises. Except that one guy. We're trolling the shit out of him.

Hmm, I'll give you guys a few hints as to my age: I'm a teen, dual-enrolled in college, and young enough to be involved in the local (shitty) high school.

16? 'cause that's pretty much what i'm doing... Except that I hate it people call the high school shitty. I find that it's a vary hard thing to judge something when you've only ever experienced one of that thing.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Close(14). Also, trust me when I tell you the school is bad. About sixty percent (this is prolly exaggerated from personal experience) of the pop is involved with drugs, gangs, etc., at least one of the teachers is clinically insane, another 3 are confessed drug addicts.


This is South Florida, where sanity goes to die.

Eh? Well that does sound bad. I guess I'm just too used to my schoolmates complaints. The "worst school ever" is not in Cleveland's suburbs, no matter what they might say.

Northern Ohio, where sanity becomes bored and plays DF all day!
