Actually I've seen the direct opposite. Lots of older folks enjoy HL2, not many kids want it. Well, unless you look at the CS community... but who knows the ACTUAL ages of anyone there... most of them act like 5 year olds that just learned how to drop the F bomb. (no offense to the actual good folks that exist in the CS community). I guess it really depends on what you consider "teenage school kids". I'm 19 in college, so I dont know if that counts or not?

I'm 14, but don't usually make references to that. Most people assume (right off the bat) that 14 year-olds are stereotypically like "OMGOMGOMGWTFROFLMAOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!111111 Jo0 R 73h $uXXORZZzzzzzZZzZzZzZzZ!!!!11 OH NOoOo0oOo0oO!!!!!!1111 WHY I BANNED?!?!?!?! TIHS SITE SUXXORS@@@@@@@@@@2"
Unfortunately, I have some friends that are actually like that....I don't like it when people only make people believe the stereotypes even more. I try and get them to stop, but they don't. These same friends even use the oh-so-annoying "chat lingo" that AOL spawned. That just raises my contempt for AOL even more. Alright, I've totally gone off on a tangent, so I'm just going to stop now.
Later,
Brad

Ï'm 18. I haven't got my father to play any games seriously yet although HL2 will most probably give me a helping hand. I have a friend whose father eagerly participates when we lan and he is something like 50. He always gets pwnd but he likes it anyway :imu:

I agree with poster, most posts u read sound like there from school kids and also in counterstrike, 90% talk crap, and seem like assholes. Thats one of the reason i don't like it.

I have an older brother who bought the atari and kept it in good conditions. I used to live in a very poor town in Mexico so i had the atari till 'round 92.. then they took a trip to the u.s. and brought the NES.. althought i wanted the SNES.. it's all cool they bought me a shitload of games for it.. like around 20.

Im 15 aswell and i agree totally that stereotyping our age group is annoying. I often find that im more mature than most 18 - 20 year olds that i play online games with lol.

I don't think anybody actually stereotyped anyone in this thread... but I think it's awesome that we have so many older people here looking forward to HL2 as much as us younger kids. (I'm 19! I'm not grouping anyone, I just have a tendency to call most people under 25 kids.)
I really look forward to having kids and sharing this kind of hobby with them.

I think our diversity is our strength! My reflexes may be slightly less then stellar, but i've been down many a FPS hall, and my experience might make up for it. But there are plenty of times when the young gamers teach me valuable lessons. If we respect each other, we will benefit from both our strengths.

I've been gaming since age 5 or 6, started with Wolfenstein 3d... back on our Windows 3.1. Too young before that to remember more ancient computers though.
The general contempt that the maker of this thread had was what annoyed me, generally age judgement isn't a problem on this forum.

I'm a medium sized person being 24, started off gaming as a small person when I was 5 and will be doing it until i'm a big adult, whenever that happens?
I've noticed my gaming skills have gone downhill a bit since being 20 and a hardcore CS type dude (playing more hours than i'd like to admit). I think my decline of skillage is due to doing other things like work n stuffs. Still, I'll sharpen my skills up again with hl2 and pwn j0o all again, Muwahahahahahaa!!! ahem.

16, and I don't agree with the preeoccupation people seem to have with a person's age and maturity. If someone acts mature, and knows what they're talking about, what does it matter if they're 12 or 13? On the other hand, there are people that are 30-40 that are as immature as anyone. Our society treats children as inferior, and adults as superior, without considering the personalities of either. I could probably get some really great jobs if I conducted an interview over the telephone, but if it's face to face, the interviewer will most likely dismiss me in their mind because of my age.
That's my standpoint on the whole age vs. maturity thing. And to all those who post such things as "12 year old newb", etc.; it just loses the respect of your peers.
EDIT: Also, people, stop with the "I'm X years old, and more mature than Y group of people." It's just you trying to prove yourself by making others lower in your eyes.
