A Storm Approaches.
I've included a poll, obviously, but don't just vote. Tell us a little more. Tell us not just how old you are, but what age did you first start gaming, what was your first game and what was your first console.
I'll start -
I'm 25 years old.
I started gaming as young as 4 years old. I used to play my cousins Commodore 64 in 1989. My first ever video game was You must login or register to view this content. and on Christmas 1990, I got my first games console the Sega Master System with 4 games. Paperboy, You must login or register to view this content., You must login or register to view this content. and You must login or register to view this content.. This was a year before Sonic came out, and only a few months after the Mega Drive (Genesis in USA) was released and there was no way my parents could afford the Mega Drive only a few months after it was released, but hey, I was only 4½, like I'd know what what current gen. I got the Mega Drive 2 years later in 1993.
PS: Can a moderator please remove the damn smiley from the poll. Bloody stupid thing

Yes, I find it quite concerning that a forum extremely heavily slanted towards Call Of Duty, a game rated 18 and that cannot legally be sold to those under 18, is populated by people who's average age is 15 and where the number of people UNDER THE AGE OF 12! Outnumbers the number of people over the age of 25. Do you not see why this is concerning?
What's even more ironic is I've heard multiple people use the excuse. "Nintendo makes games for kids" as the excuse for why this forums Nintendo section is currently invisible yet the vast majority of this forum ARE KIDS! It's like they don't see the connection. Again, doubly ironic is in my circle of friend, where the average age is 27, the most common games console is a Nintendo Wii... maybe it's not for kids after all but kids are too naive to see it
Nah, I'm fine with the IRA now since they stopped bombing us, ... at least the IRA where smart enough to get out of the f*cking car before it explodes, plus they never bombed Liverpool so I'm happy (probably because there's too many Irish here to risk it... he says with the last name McKenna).
On the more serious side, you do realise that supporting a United Ireland and supporting the IRA are too very different things. I realise this is in your signature and it's a bit of a tangent for this thread but I wanted to mention this. The IRA where nothing but a terroist organisation that frequently attacked and killed innocent people, including other Irish people, setting back the public view of the Irish in Britain for a long time. My family have seen the effects of the IRA in previous generations. As a 15 year old kid you don't know what the IRA where like, hell at 25 I don't know really, I was a little kid during the latter few bombings. Let me put it this way, having an Irish Republican Army link in your signature is the equivalent of having a "Support Al-Quaeda" link, it's insensitive, insulting and extremely misguided and I think you owe Ireland better than that. Look up your countries history before you support such things in the future.

The new nintendo is gay, the games they produce do not look fun the last zelda that was actually good was ocarina of time, a ski is good for that sports crap game, but to people who are past the "nintendo" level of gaming need something else. So in turn the childrens parents buy them a xbox or playstation.
Obviously their parents are fine with the games they are playing, or they wouldn't have purchased their child a console that is geared towards mature rated games.
