View Full Version : Old, Older, Oldest? Who's the oldest SG community member?
The Dutch Don 03-06-2009, 10:55 AM I think it could well be me! I'll hit the big 4-0 on May 15th, yes, FORTY!
So is there anyone out there that's older? Or am I the dinosaur...
I'd like to know also what the young guns, 20 or younger, think of seasoned gamers like myself. I've had young gamers online laughing at me because they didn't expect 'grandpa' to play video games. I only hope they will stay young at heart themselves so they'll be playing video games when they get to the age I am now..
MosEisley 03-06-2009, 10:56 AM I'm 20 and I prefer playing with those that range 25 and higher because it's usually a more enjoyable experience and it's a lot less of a hassle.
The Beezs 03-06-2009, 10:59 AM I'll give crap to the old man that's in my clan, at least we used to. Until he got kicked out for always yelling at the kids to get off his lawn and turn down that gosh durn rap music.
Madjester88 03-06-2009, 11:02 AM Isn't venomous duck (or something like that ) is the resident Dinosaur I remember Lono talking about it in the early podcasts.
DeadpoolSkye 03-06-2009, 04:39 PM ^ I think it was actually Vin Dali, though they could have been exaggerating :lol:
strika234 03-06-2009, 04:45 PM look at vindali's sg smiley. he is SG's oldest member... or at least the staff think he is...

Well alright gramps. Don't throw out your back, m'kay?
:lol:
cjschmidt1494 03-06-2009, 07:14 PM i usually think its cool when i see a older guy kickin other peoples butts in games like call of duty and halo.
choco 03-06-2009, 07:19 PM I think it was actually Vin Dali, though they could have been exaggerating :lol:
yes he is any one know how old he is? why do i think he's mid 50's?
Shane86 03-06-2009, 08:39 PM yes he is any one know how old he is? why do i think he's mid 50's?He's only 38 or something like that.
PCvsApple 03-06-2009, 08:43 PM I am only 13 (just turned the big 1-3) and I don't mind playing online with older people. If they like to play games, that is fine with me. Some of them may be a little slower reactions times, but I don't care. :tongue:
AlmightyEmperor 03-06-2009, 09:36 PM I think VinDali is 37 or 38.

You always do that Shane:lol:. When I started a thread about the youngest member, you put up a kid that was 10... Damn you Shane!:lol:
toyskins 03-06-2009, 11:15 PM I'm 14
Is it just me, or are half the members of the SG forums underage? I'm one of 'em.
R0CK0 03-07-2009, 12:18 AM 21
and i also prefer older crowds (i know there are really chill kids to play with and i enjoy that, its just really REALLY hard to find you ;-)
ThePianoMan 03-07-2009, 03:18 AM I think it could well be me! I'll hit the big 4-0 on May 15th, yes, FORTY!

I'm 14, so I'll answer you're second bit. I prefer to play against older people because most people my age act like pillocks online and seem to insist on headphone usage while being pillocks. As people get older, they seem to stop doing such things. Makes online play much nicer
Captain Splatch 03-07-2009, 08:02 AM 32 here prefer the old school crowd, and yes you don't have to scream in the mike to play on live.
mikeyb003 03-08-2009, 08:30 PM im probably the yougest at 14
SaintMantooth 03-08-2009, 10:49 PM I'm 25. I don't mind playing with the younger crowd as long as they act mature. That is the main reason why I DESPISE halo is because no one acts mature when playing that game online.
But I prefer to game with the 20-39 range, 40+ is out of the question :tongue: j/k
A college of mine used to invite his 50+ year old dad to play Gears with us, and he did, and he was annoying.
So to answer your question, it's cool that you can still find time to game and haven't completely grown up and realized that gaming is a waste of time. As long as you still spend time with your family(if you have one), then it's all good!
Hulton 03-09-2009, 03:45 AM i'm a good old 31 next week -dammit oh so old!!
kim andre 03-09-2009, 07:27 AM the only thing i hate whit "old" gamers is that they say such tings to me ass "you are waaaaay to young to play this game" i really really hate it! ok i am 15 and gta 4 is an 18 + but who cares? i am not some psycho kid who is going to kill everyone i see just because i can do it in a game, the only thing i want to say to them is "aren't you a little bit to old to play this game?" haha that makes them silent :P
other than that, i don't have any problem whit "old" gamers :)
choco 03-09-2009, 07:36 AM He's only 38 or something like that.
:lipssealed: epic fail to me!
A Rabid Moose 03-09-2009, 07:40 AM 14 and 1/2 as of yesterday. When I play on XBL, I'm usually in a party with Randomperson(claims to be 14), Drazial(no idea), Fearless987(again, no idea) and an assortment of other community members. While I usually play with people my age, I do from time to time play with adult members of the community, in example, Talkingship last Friday(He was drunk though, so I don't think that's a very good comparison.)
JSwan13 03-09-2009, 04:40 PM I'm 999,999,999 years old.
DeadpoolSkye 03-09-2009, 06:40 PM I'm 17, so I don't think I qualify for youngest or oldest.
Speaking of oldest, besides the mods and writers does anyone know who was the first "non-all powerful" member was?
choco 03-09-2009, 07:20 PM im 12. so im the youngest!

You shouldn't be surprised. Us old guys have a lot of experience, despite our slightly slower reactions times. We also grew up with the joystick breaking era of frustration known as the 80s. Remember kids, we didn't have quicksave or checkpoints. If you died more than three times, you didn't go back 20 feet, you had to start the entire game over again.
I know all old people go on about how much harder it was in their day, but trust me on this one. :)
Shane86 03-10-2009, 01:25 PM So what number were you and PMPB...and me...I inquire these things, for they interest me. :thumbsup:
Just click on their profile and look at the number in the url, I'm 510
Demonstride 03-10-2009, 01:54 PM I too am also 14 so obviously not the oldest. :/
zinc136 03-10-2009, 02:07 PM I'm 59, so I am probably the oldest on the site. :wink2:
MeggaMan 03-10-2009, 02:29 PM I'm 17! Right in the middle......
VinDali 03-10-2009, 02:44 PM It is not Vindali
That's better :grin:
Shane86 03-10-2009, 02:46 PM I'm 59, so I am probably the oldest on the site. :wink2:You're closer to minus 59.
GammaFist 03-11-2009, 06:14 AM I think Rothbart is the oldestbecause he said on the Blue show that he was " scarily close to 40".
Yeah, I thought I was going to be an older guy, hence the "Old Married Gamer" acronym, but I'm only 30. And just for the record, I don't mind playing with guys that are much younger, as long as they aren't chatting over the mic about how lame it is that some other pre-teen's parents make them go to bed at a certain time on the weekend, or make random noises/racist comments/swear because they think its funny.
Wrath99 03-12-2009, 06:00 PM Im 20, so somewere in the middle
sean09 03-12-2009, 11:38 PM I'm a teenager, and I much prefer playing with people 25+.
It's a much more enjoyable experience, there's less complaining (though they still take it seriously), you can keep a conversation with them, it's great.
It's always fun to meet intelligent, mature people playing games.
IMMATURE GAMER 03-13-2009, 04:50 PM I'm 62. Do I win? If so, WHAT do I win? I could use some more "Depends."
PopTrogdor 03-13-2009, 04:55 PM Playing against kids online aggrovates me. Both due to immaturity and their voice..urgh the whining irritates me. So i'd much prefer playing against people around my age or older.
When I was born Nintendo sold rice and owned a Taxi Company. They really did! ;)
PikminGuts92 03-14-2009, 10:40 AM I'm not old at all. I'm 16.
I bet rothbart is the oldest.
