Poll: Average Escapist Age.

[MatsVS]

I am 25, and the idea of being lumped in with mere 21 year olds is grossly offensive to me.

 

[KennyHungry]

turned 19 in november

 

[Eumersian]

I expected about this distribution. Maybe not that narrow, but nonetheless.

I am 19, by the way.

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

I am 19. Seems the majority of people are 17-21 on here......

 

[That's Funny]

I'm part of the 17 group. We want our pie.

 

[BreakfastMan]

I am 17, going on 18. My birthday is next week, so I would count myself as 18 more than 17.

 

[joshuaayt]

I am seventeen years of age- The very same age of our brave Hero of Time as he smote the evil Ganon.

 

[Moeez]

Wow, I had no idea kids were in this forum. I thought this was for older people considering the classiness. Anyway, I'm 23.

 

[PayneTrayne]

I'm 19, legal to drink and stupid enough to vote.

 

[SilverIntoSteel]

24, it's hard accepting that I am meant to be a real person now. Sigh.

 

[DasDestroyer]

17 in October.

 

[Wolfram23]

I'll be 25 in a couple weeks

 

[Rasputin-2]

Im one of the old guard it seems. 30+. And back in my day, we didnt have your fancy Motion controlled games, we had a glove on a wire in one hand and a gun that could be tricked by a lightbulb in the other. We had to wade through general department stores to get our games and the idea of a game store was impossible, And to get to a place where we could get games we had to walk uphill in the snow, both ways, backwards!. You lazy kids with your save this game anywhere.. Why back in my day we had to run the risk of getting backhanded if our parents told us to do something and we couldnt just drop the game. Why back in my day you had to plan your play sessions carefully in order to make sure there would be nothing that would interrupt your session and basically cause you to loose everything you had done.

God, you people are making me feel old.

I still remember how long it took me to finally flip the score in Asteroids on the Atari.
God I am old.....38

 

[Layzor]

I'm twennie one.

 

[drbarno]

Turned 19 on the 30th of January.

So.. yeah.

O_O

that's exactly the same as me.

 

[loc978]

Thirty and feeling it.

 

[SimuLord]

I'm 33. Been gaming since mom gave me a quarter and pointed me at a Pac-Man cabinet to get me out of her hair while she settled the bill at a Chinese restaurant in 1982.

 

[-kandi-]

17 for me

 

[longwd]

27 on this end. Been gaming since the running pad oly\mpics game for NES

23 here. I'm just cresting the hill it looks like as far as the average forum-trolling nerd goes. Not surprised in the least bit. I think the avg gamer is 30 yrs old bit is dated as gaming culture (not to be confused with nerd/geek culture) is EXPLODING. At least in American suburbia. What I am surprised by is the decidedly more international composition of the Escapist. I'm glad to hear from my distant cousins across the pond every once in a while
