2. There are a bunch of illiterate "adults" in the forums. Aged 18-maybe spending too much time with his/her Xbox for an adult.


Lick my balls, Ender. The average age of gamers is 28.

No one ever said someone 25+ years of age didn't belong. In fact, if you had actually read a few of the pages of commentary by yours truly I already apologized for the way I worded the poll. So, get informed, then type (not the inverse).

I do not know if this has been said. I am not reading 15 pages to find out...

I am nearly 20, and I resent the insinuation that people of 25 or more should not be involved wiht gaming.

I am currently fourteen years old and find myself literately adept. I hate it when older folk smite the younger folk for age alone. Half the people older than me couldn't beat a seven year old at Scrabble. Also, I fond myself far more profficient at the strategics, teamplay, and gameplay of Halo: Combat Evolved. By the way, Magic:the gathering is awesome.

*Attempting to keep temper*

DEAFIL- You should never be boasting about "raping" someone... look in a dictionary, you'll find more approriate terms.

D Gamer- "I'm 13 and I visit this place almost every day . I even know 7 year olds that play halo ." We have already voiced our opinions on the age of people playing these games. If you know 7 years-olds playing these games then I fear for the safety of your community, kids that young should NOT be playing violent games.

a14p5mm suprise- we have also already conducted a conversation based around parents, and their inability to look at the content of the games they buy, and how many use technology as a form of "babysitting". Just because you may not be affected badly... just because 100 people may not be affected badly... There will still be someone, even if its 1 in 100,000, there will still be somebody who is badly affected by violent games and does something wrong... It's not a risk I think we should be taking.
"I knew I twelve year old that knew the true meaning of ass kicking in halo" If I knew a 12 year-old who could shoot 50 people with a sniper rifle without getting caught by police, does that mean I should praise him? Sure thats an outrageous example but it gets the point across... just because you're good at something doesn't mean you should be doing it!

DARKSAIYAN1014- "maybe the creator of this thread has a very small IQ to not think of that possibility on his/her own?? It's common since man." Do not make cracks about someones IQ when you write something so utterly stupid afterwards... try "It's common sense man..." Further more, you're wrong! This is a well thought out thread commenting on the matter of age and abusement of appropiate spelling/grammar/etc... And once you have made a point, thats it... do not add your own little bit of spam here!

Shiruken- First, spell your own name right... it's shuriken! Secondly, this thread has a purpose and it is about peoples age and that in relation to their spelling and grammar on this site... do not throw in useless ideas... that's called spamming!

RMagnus- If you want to pick fights go elsewhere... we have already fixed up that argument... many times over... try reading the thread first ;-)

John- as above... that was an oversight at the beginning of this thread, I would prefer if the gaming community had more older people... sadly this place tends to be full of kids, most of whom act like they are 2, not 12/13/14/15/etc

Adn to anybody coming on and posting an age and nothing more... the poll is there for a reason, use it, read the thread and then post something useful...

Now it may seem that I have gone on an absolute rampage, and I have... There are many people ignoring the rest of the thread and coming in with topics we've already covered. There are also alot of people flaming each other. We have this set up to conduct a debate, not a fist-fighting argument. Please try and stay on topic and post sensibly... I am sorry if I have upset anyone but I feel I have said what needed to be said.

Ok heres my take on this thread:

I'm 16 years and 8 months old, I live in england and speak english. I havent paid any attention to rating systems in the all the years ive been playing games. My first game was Grand Theft Auto on Windows 95 when i was eight! (probably why im so screwed up in the mind now!)

PEGI is the european standards group and Halo and Halo 2 are rated 16+ but since I buy all my games off amazon.co.uk with a family members credit card the ratings mean nothing at all... pretty handy!

As far as films are concerned im a large lad and they never bother to ask for ID so thats a complete breeze. Finally in my opinion there is no age limit for who can play games (hopefully I will still be playing in forty years time!) also i like to think all games are designed for one thing: Fun!!

EDIT: Um though i havent really looked at ratings id like to point out im not a violent person... the reason i play violent games is to make up for the fact im a coward/wimp in real life :) (bad typos - must be getting late!)

Pe@ce.

Wow what a night. First i see gene simmons' cover of "firestarter" *shudder*.
Then I see a "top 100 guitar solos" with no mention of Megadeth or Slayer or even Iron Maiden! *falls to ground shivering"
Now I return to this thread to read the insightful comments of the many respectable forum goers only to see multiple....lets just say people spouting comments that are better off consigned to the recycle bin. I mean anyone who posts in a thread to claim how great they are at halo-knowing they probably wont have to back it up- and then further embellish their vanity filled drivel with claims such as "ive raped many people at halo" or something like that. That offends and disgusts me.
Now I've just recieved a PM that says "i wonder wll da flod be back in halo".
Y'know...theres a fine line between "reply" and "Msg user" that should be carefully trodden.

I apologise for anyone offended by this post. To appease you, here's a quote or two

Moe: aww homer you know your moneys no good in here...wait a minute, this is real money!!

Ralph:Me fail english? Thats unpossible!

Homer:(pushes away empty plate) I just lost my appetite...
Lisa:(pushes away plate) Me too.......
Homer: Wait! Mine came back!(eats lisas dinner)

Fry; well i just made out with that radiator woman from the radiator planet
leela: uh fry...thats a radiator....
fry: oh.....is there a burn ward within 10 feet from here?

(ted claims jim is dying to get out of saying mass)
Fr.Dougal:Now Jim...you never told me you were dying.....
Jim:What? Ah god no...dont think so anyway
Fr.Ted: Its just that dr. Sinnot said that...you might be dying... But its nothing really.
Jim: I'll Just give him a ring...
Ted: I wouldnt do that-he's gone deaf.
Dougal: Ah is he?*looks out window* Wait! there he is now! *leans out window* DOCTOR SINNOT! *leans back in* He heard that alright Ted....
Ted: Wait! I just remembered! Doctor Sinnot's NOT deaf! And auld Jim is NOT dying! I was thinking of two completley different people!
Nun: So you'll be able to say mass then father?

You all know where those quotes are from- I urge those who havent seen Fr. Ted to buy season one or season two DVD's(esp. the one with "chirpy burpy cheepy sheepy on it).
They are hilarious I cannot do them justice. Methinks Dermot Morgan died too soon...

*edit* Beaten to angry rant over recent posts, sorry durandel i was typing mine as you typed yours. But please, decipher this someone
"im 13 and Mercsha ,me on the end of your plasma sword no i will teach you to fly, with a rocket launcher"

Hmm i agree with you Killy McGee, I always find those people to be rather child like and make stupid comments that they cant possibly back up (for example: "My warthog flew in the air and did three complete loops then hit me bounced 300 yards and got stuck in a wall")

Just for reference the best i can do is to get my warthog to flip and kill me :) anyway... it seems we have two groups of people = those who choose to speak normally and those who behave like kids!

Well, I've been absent for a few days and have returned to find much of the same as was posted before. I'd like to thank durandal8371010 and a few other new names for defending my integrity and the general position of the more dilligent postees (poster sounds funny). It seems the intermittent post "Im 14 and spell good and you suck." is simply the scourge of this thread. I'll make no more pleas for their cessation; only because those people won't read this or anything else before they write anyway. Sorry again to those of you who are regulars and have been supporting the cause. Tally ho! I'm back and prepared to throw in my 2 cents.

One more thanks to those of you offering worthwhile thoughts to the discussion. I saw that this thread was the most popular one in all Bungie-verse. (Unfortunately, that's also attributed to the stereotypical aforementioned comments.)

i know people have already said this, but i just want to reinforce it: don't judge people by their age, judge them by their maturity! This is almost as bad (well, not really) as judging someone by their race or gender. 13 power!

I am 14, and I think that it is very stereotypical to put us in an age group and say "These are the illerate ones", because I bet you hard cash, that you will find 18+ that cannot spell at all. So just watch what you say.

Then again, I consider the forum a place where I can let it all out, and use abreviations<sp?> and not spell well, as previously shown, most of us are in school anyway, and this gives us a break. I'd hate the day when it comes that correct grammar and punctuation are a must on these forums.

I'm 14 years old but I will be turning 15 in August 18th. I really hate playing with kids under 13, because they mostly whin about alot of things that happen in the game, complain that its not fair that I kill the little kid, making strange noises, yelling, shouting, accusing people of cheating, yeh you get the picture.

I think this guy needs to get a life and also needs to quit studying the dictionary. I have gotten straight A's all through high school and yes i know how to spell and so what if i make a grammatical error? or a typo? only someone as lame as you with no life would care.
Anyone agree?
