Wolfenstein!
I grew out of computer games around the age of 25. Mostly they were the "Adventure" type. Never could get my head into the mindless "shoot em up" genre.

Don't mean to depress you, but...
At age 25:
The future mythologist Joseph Campbell decided to move to Woodstock to read the classics for five years, nine hours a day. Living on very little, he would make himself readily available as a dinner guest.
Orson Welles coscripted, directed, and starred in Citizen Kane.
By this age, Charles Chaplin had appeared in 35 films.
P. T. Barnum bought a "160-year-old" slave woman and began a career in show business.
Janis Joplin made her first recording, "Cheap Thrills," which grossed over a million dollars within a few months.
Chris Burden created "Painting Shoot," which involved the artist being shot in the left arm by a friend.
Charles Lindbergh became the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic, thus winning a $25,000 prize.
Fayette, N.Y. farmhand Joseph Smith founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He claimed he translated the Book of Mormon from some golden tablets revealed to him by the angel Moroni.
Bavarian painter Aloys Senefelder invented the lithograph.
French engineer Benoit Fourneyron invented the first waterwheel turbine.
Sarah Bernhardt scored her first triumph, being asked to repeat her theatrical performance before Napoleon III.
Activist Mollie Steimer became the first person to be deported from both the United States and the Soviet Union.
Physician Roger Bannister broke the four minute mile. As he collapsed unconscious into the arms of his trainer, the loudspeaker announced, "The time was three..." The uproar of the fans drowned out the rest of the announcement.
There are few problems in life that cannot be solved with toast.
One of them, however, is opening a can of corned beef with that stupid key. This cannot easily be done at the best of times, and toast is of surprisingly little use in resolving the issue.
Thats not an attitude I'd keep in bed :P
Erh, nice one noticing that mistake. I did in fact mean three-fourths1/4 + 3/3
= 3/12 + 12/12
= 15/12
= 5/4
indeed!
Just kidding
Thanks Mr. Thx O_O (Always wondered how you ended up with that username, lol)Well, happy B-day Enclavean. Nice to hear you are well. Cheers.
Thanks and Thanks!
I wish i was old enough to get a license in Thailand. I reeeeeeeeally wanna have the freedom of being able to drive.Happy Birthday Enclavean.
Old enough to drive in some places which means you're old enough to get into serious trouble.
Keep your nose clean or some pair of size 9 boots somewhere will find you.
Unfortunatly you have be 18 in this country.....hang on, this is THAILAND. Maybe.......
---Update---
The age limit on these forums is 13 years I'm quite sure of. I did sign up with the year "1990" because i use that age everywhere i go. There are certain websites where I'd like my real age to remain a secret so decided on 1990 as my standard internet sign-up age.I thought you had to be 18 to join this forum. You didn't LIE did you?
Clavean is a real game? :O
Enclavean.....
... is about the time most guys stop acting like a teenager. Women are a couple of years earlier.
There's always exceptions though.
But I wouldn't be adverse to a couple of games of "Shoot the Condescending Shirt Lifter"
Now that's NOT surprising!
---Update---
Most of my P5 class are 45 year olds on Facebook.
A classic.

I like it when they put up a profile picture of an amazingly beautiful woman and an age of 22 or so then send me a friend request. I get all excited when I get an IM from the mystery woman... "Teacher, what will the M3 science test have on it tomorrow."
Hi Enclavean. I lost my virginity at 16. Good luck!

Did you ever manage to find it again?
I sent mine in a letter to myself.
It got lost in the mail.
We could all sit outside on banana lounges discussing the best way to rebuild a 4WD transmission and agree, through shared stories of conquests supporting our assertions, that there is no basis to the proposition that those least assured of their persuasions are the first to condemn others for theirs.
...a Persian carpet ride, a glass of wine too far, and a cooling summer eve: the splendored thing...(lowku?)

Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band
I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand
Makes me think there is a whole lot I don't know
Not necessarily. When older dudes say that it's just a wish to go back and fix up/avoid all the stuff ups.
