I turned 21 this year, admittedly the time I turned 21 isn't important but I needed to make this post longer somehow. It was this or vaguely relevant philosophical musings on age.
That you basically called all gamers immature, generalized the whole site claiming it was full of snarky "CoD vs Halo" flamewars (possibly the one thing I've never seen here) and claiming those here who are teenagers are begging for help with homework came off as arrogant. It really sounded like you'd just skimmed a bunch of gamer websites and forums, then just applied the accrued stereotypes here.The Gatherer said:

OT: I am 17 turning 18 in may...
Personally I do not care how someone else acts. So I am fine with imiturity with a simple reply of "yes."
Same with ponies (minus the reply)
18 and kicking - oh, and the ponies drive me up the wall.
They're not cute, they're crappy cartoon drawings, and their stories are not for adults no matter how you try to justify it. That's not me being immature (because Spongebob still makes me laugh), that's me telling you guys it's time to man up and there are far, far better things to admire in this world that aren't ponies.
Such as science, technology, videogames & gadgets.
Or a combination of all of the above.
Here's a clip of an under-construction rendering technology we could be seeing in games in the near future. It does away with polygons for graphics and uses virtual atoms instead. There are 64 atoms/ 1mm^3, and they made a 1km^2 island:

I'm 18.
I'm not really sure about the average Escapist age. Seems like it's mid-teens to mid-20s, at least from my perspective.

20 unfortunatly, at that age where you're no longer considered a teen yet people still treat you like one...... trolling and agro begins in 3 ...... 2 ...... 1....... proceed......
1) I said that you have to be a little immature to be a gamer, which is a valid point fore some, me included, you see, games are filled with wimsey and extravagant adventures that appeal to your inner child. Was not intended as an insult.
2) For a start I said BF not halo. If you havnt seen the various posts about the pros/cons of cod over bf whizzing about lately, you might be spending to much time getting the wrong end of the stick on other threads.
3) The dictionary defines arrogance as perpetrating an offensive display of superiority or self-importance. I did not claim in any way that I was above teenagers asking for help, once again this was a statement not an insult.
4) In my experience stereotypes are largely true. It's quite interesting that you arrive at the old stereotype milestone when all I did was give a few examples similar to recent threads. Maybe your brain's trying to tell you something that you havn't considered yet, being a teenager and all

I'm 39 (officially). But the truth is: i stopped getting older at 29 - 10 years ago.
Ponies .... what?

I must say my greatest joy on the Escapist are those 'Are you a Gamer' threads where people who weren't even born when I started gaming try to tell me I'm not a true 'Gamer'. But that comes back to the puffed out chest and bravado of the anonymous teenager you were talking about.
And no, I don't understand the pony thing either. Here in the UK MLP is a show for primary school girls; why 20-something blokes would profess a love for it is beyond me.
