I feel old for some reason. Maybe that is because I am an uncle already. x7.

So much for experience coming with age - a number of the veteran Dakkanauts who chimed in earlier are younger than I might have guessed (others, of course, are just as old as they appear ). Granted, I didn't touch a miniature until I was more than halfway through college (and didn't join Dakka until I had lurked sporadically for nearly a year, as the bug started biting progressively more intensely), so I'm a bit behind the curve, compared to many.
Now I'm wondering what most affects perceived age on Dakka: comportment, knowledge, apparent budget, orkmoticon usage, etc. Hard to guess, as the odd calm and articulate teenager and "LOLnneeds more OSL also smurfs sux" with three kids are bound to crop up and shatter any apparent trends.
Oh, right - I'm 25, riding high on that bell curve and rambling like... an overzealous preteen? a doddering old fart? Now I'm not sure which simile to use...

33.
Although time is subjective - I'm 6ft1 and managed to get id'd just before christmas. Thats a win.
Although time gets faster as you get older. School days took ages to go past, now I cough or blink and its a week on thursday.
This time next week, at my current rate, I'll probably be dead.

However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.

Can relate!
Schooldays from 8:15AM to 12:00PM were hell back in 1st grade, as a 6 year old. Now ten years later, schooldays from 8:20AM to 14:30PM are trivial and short.
On a side note, a lot of you guys are the same age as my 30-year old brother.

40 next month. Ran my first marathon this year, just to prove I can hang with the kids...

No earth shattering, thought provoking quote. I'm just someone who was introduced to 40K in the late 80's and it's become a lifelong hobby. |

26, 3/4 of the way to 27. I've floated in and out of the GW world since 1995 (started pretty young). I dropped the hobby almost entirely between 18-23 to spend my money on the finer pursuits of life--drugs, booze, and women. But now I'm old and cynical and ready to make a more serious return to the game... I think.
