Gold leader Posted January 23, 2001 Share Posted January 23, 2001 Congrats Gary! Don't forget that it's not your fault that you're getting old, but it's that frickin entropy that plays the spoil-sport on our quest for immortality. Blame entropy! Blame entropy! 4 months and I'll be 20. That means I could have been been legally drunk for almost four years. The Netherlands rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted January 25, 2001 Share Posted January 25, 2001 Ham Yoyo? I'm certain I haven't seen that one before! Howdy, fellow A-wing terrorist in his thirties... So why do we old guys play video games? *Sigh* Well, for me it started when I was a little squirt in the front row of the movie theater, watching Star Wars come to life. I decided then that I wanted to be a starfighter pilot and fight bad guys in outer space. Only problem? Living in the real world, with no bad guys to kill, and a fear of flying which would prevent me from trying to even get off the ground. When I was a kid, I had no interest in the wireframe graphics videogames they had in the parlors (home systems sucked even worse!) Until, that is, the first Star Wars game came out...finally, I could fly an X-wing and blow up the Death Star. That one videogame was the extent of my childhood videogame career. Years later, as an adult, I picked up my next videogame, a flight simulation for the N64 called Pilot Wings. When Rogue Squadron came out for the same console system, my buying it was a foregone conclusion. Same story with Episode One: Racer and Battle for Naboo. When I got a computer, I got the latest version PC simulation (X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter) that my RAM could support...and when I upgrade, you can bet I'll get XWA at the same time. So, you see...it isn't about playing videogames. It's about flying over somewhere and smacking TIEs out of my sky, that's all. ------------------ 'Don't shoot--Your sister's in the cockpit with me!'

GUNNER Posted January 25, 2001 Share Posted January 25, 2001 Yeah, don't think of us as old. Just as guys who got to see Star Wars when if first came out in 1977.

Guest Thor Posted January 25, 2001 Share Posted January 25, 2001 You old people only play computer games to get away from real life like us kids? I thought you grow out of that stuff... oh well what a sad miserable world this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Sceltor Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 The first time I saw a Star Wars movie in the theater was Episode I. I've vowed to myself that I will see Episode II as soon as I possibly can after its release. Nitro, your birthday is August 2 perhaps? And you were born in 1983 I think. Am I right?

Admiral Odin Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 The first time I saw SW in the thearters was a Special edition of A new hope. ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis."

Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 You didn't put a period at the end of that 'sorry,' pilot! What is that, just a word hanging in mid-air...? The first time I saw Star Wars was less than a week after its initial release. No one knew who George Lucas was. Computers were owned by the government. Japanese cartoons were still silly. Man, the world has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Odin Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 yes it has, can't wait for the next decade. ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis." (Sweet is war to those who have never experinced it.) Roman Proverb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest garyah99 Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 I also remember the original release of Star Wars. I was 18, and I saw it 6 times in the theatre. Of course, back then it was only $2.50 to get in to a movie. I took my family to watch it once and my dad fell asleep. (He's not much of a Sci-Fi fan).
