This is for a study for a class I'm in. By play I mean interact with or watch video games. I couldn't create a poll because my java or something wasn't working so please continue to comment in the other one and post your ages in the vote here.

Most of us are between 17 and 25. The problem with taking a demographic study here is that there are a lot of other variables that limit the diversity of people here, and the sites ability to give you a good sampling of the populous in general. Way to many variables.

Unfortunately your results will be somewhat skewed. This is more a less a "How old are Escapist community members" poll.

I like how you put the "if you play video games" disclaimer on a thread on a video game website. :p

I think there are plenty of studies out there already about this: finding one would probably boost your credibility in the report, since official stats are always more respected than original research. Unless, of course, you're supposed to do it yourself: in that case, good luck.

I'd say, instead of numbers, think of age as life situations. Have they reached puberty, What school they're in, possible graduation, how many years in working life, etc.

For example, 21-30 is way too big a margin. 21 can be a guy who's just gone into university/college, living alone for the first time in his life, and a guy who's 30 can be a married man with kids and a mortgage.

I'm 22 by the way.

How old am I if I play video games? I would expect I'm anywhere between 12 and 25, depending on whether I'm playing a platformer or an eroge.

26 as of last August. I've been playing video games for a little over 20 years now.

How old am I if I play video games? You mean to say I can adjust my age depending on whether or not I'm playing video games? Video games are the true fountain of youth?

I'm 23 years old, playing video games make me feel like a 19 year old... lady.

The writer of this post is a 23 year old male, and in no way feel like a girl at any time. He would also like to add he has never worn dresses, isn't magically attracted to the color pink and doesn't fantasize about owning a unicorn named Stacy.[/small]

The title is ambigous at best, is it asking "me" what age i am, or what age i did i start playing games or what age do i think the average age of peeps playing game is (are?)

How many people do you think are going to accept the risks in order to hope for that side effect?

OT: I'm 18, (but really I'm 9 [except when I'm 60]).

This thread makes me seem young. I'm only 15.

On the bright side, MWAHAHAHAHA! I'll be around when they will have perfected some form of virtual reality and you 30 somethings will be GOOOWNN! *clears throat* sorry.
