wow, i didn't realize there were so many youths on these boards, not that there is anything wrong with that (though i wonder why you aren't playing vice city, etc.). after some thought, i wonder if people around my age (24), born just a little bit too early to have easy access to the internet during our teens, would've been as active as we are now, then? wow, that was convoluted. for me, no, i used to go outside as a kid!

Age is Relative

Not that I'm that old, but I made a great joke to a university class I was teaching about a number of the parallels between the Monica Lewinsky and Checkers speeches.

Blank looks - I felt very old.
If I had this group of 20-30 year olds, I expect it would have got a laugh:rolleyes:

I wonder how this poll would look at the majority of PC gaming websites, I wonder if most gamers are getting older or whether Victoria just attracts an older, and more sophisticated group/ ;) I guess I always assume all gamers to be my age in a sort of way too isolated view of gaming.

Part of the majority it seems. I'd never have guessed there were so many people that have first hand experience of WWI here... ;) Joke aside, good to see that computer interests stays with you as you turn older.

36, and a little disturbed that the majority of players are younger. Ah, for the days of "Asteroids" and my Atari :D

I am 22 and am really amazed that I am in the average(albeit the low end of it). I would have thought that the average would have been several years lower. Not that that paradox games are not great for all ages but rathar just that most people my age or older have less time to play.

I agree, I'm surprised not more people of my age plays this game. I guess they like games like Counterstrike better

Eighteen...I expected a vast majority to be older gamers, since the average gamer age is in the early to mid-twenties, after all, and historical games tend to cater to older people, regardless of this.
