Go Old Farts Go!

In my day, we had ONE KNOB on our controllers. They had wires to the console. Our online chat was screaming at the kid right next to us.

AND WE LIKED IT.

If you remember the days, check outThe Old Farts.

I assembled this group because I am looking for other gamers like myself who enjoy good clean competition, and don't have their head up their own (or someone else's) balloon knot.

Requirements:
- If you're older it's a huge plus. Seriously. Older the better. If you're younger you're welcome I guess, but be prepared to endure long discourses on Geritol, Seinfeld references, and why rotary dial phones are WAY better than cellphones.
- Have fun (I dont care what your TS, rank, or whatever is, if you do, then this isn't the place)
- Enjoying competition against young whippersnappers is a huge plus too.
- Have fun, and enjoy having fun


There's no half-baked rank system (sorry, I'm not going to be talked down to by some 14 year old because some clan made him an "Overlord"), you don't have to try out, you don't have to be on 40 hours a week, you don't have to report to clan meetings, and I don't care about your KDR (if you don't care about mine).

If you want these things go find them, they are all out there. But if you like casual competition, check us out.

Now... what was I saying?

Subject: Screw you youngsters.

well i like your ideas about no tryouts just trying to have fun and you dont care about KDR, but the age requirement i am not a fan of, how many people older than 30 play video games, i understand there are probably alot but on the spectrum of player age there isn't that much, and how many of those people want to join a clan or even know what a clan is, i know kids, especially kids on Xbox live can be annoying immature and offensive, but right off the bat saying no to anyone under 30 is ridiculous, why don't you play a game with everyone who wants to join, if they are annoying and immature you say no, if they are young but still respectable you say yes, plus titling this post screw you youngsters, and referring to most people under age 30 as asshats, is just proving that you have the same maturity level as all the people you exclude from your clan, my clan has the same beliefs as yours, but we don't discriminate age and ranking systems don't have to mean a colonel tells a private what to do, in my clan the only people who have power are the 2 creators, the rest of the ranks are just a title to show veterancy and dedication,

Go Old Farts Go!

Thanks for the reply, but lets be realistic a second.

I'm 38 years old. The HUGE majority of people that I've met who have either been boosting, lag cheating, and generally being royal PIAs have been kids.

Don't get me wrong - I agree with you that absolutely anyone can be a PIA, regardless of age. But even you have to admit that the odds are a lot better that someone over 30 isn't going to pull this crap.

It will probably be some other kind of crap, maybe, but I think the general Halo community will agree with me here.

Besides, what am I going to talk about with someone who isn't around my age, doesn't have a family/kids/whatever? I like to think I have pretty good social skills... but since I don't like Justin Bieber or Selena Gomez or whatever else is on Disney after hours, I'm thinking I'm a pretty boring dude.

(And that end part was pure sarcasm. Please, no flames from Bieber Nation).

I have to agree im 29 and feel like that myself I think a happy medium would work much much better. I actually turned my xbox off last night becuase i was so dissapointed in the wasy these kids act and treat eachother. now dont get me wrong i gett ghetto as -blam!- and i can still be a young punk but they are just too much for me id rather play to play and if i suck well thats ok cause people should help eachother get better. I use to be really really good but my carpal tunnel got really bad and im a visual effects artist so i had to stop playing for a long while cause it wasnt as important as work what I came back to though is not fun halo. even here on the forums kids are brutal for no reason they need a good beating is what i really think.

Totally hear what you're saying though. Those internet muscles get REAL big on a lot of Halo players.

And I'll try to be flexible on age. But I stand by my statement that the vast majority of people who make Halo miserable over XBL are these same kids with big internet muscles.

Any old people who want to prove me wrong, I'd love to hear from you... hehe

yeah this is def something i can get into and i agree internet muscles get way outta control. I was involved pretty heavy with a big clan years ago run by some older dudes uppper in age like 40 and they -blam!- me over pretty hard after i invested money and tons of time into them and all the kids i played with that how i got pretty good back in the day running custom games and having fun. you guys should add me im def down to get into some games.and continue talking about this and seeing where it goes.

Go Old Farts Go!

Go ahead and join the group. Would be glad to have you guys. Same goes for anyone else interested who shares the same values.

  • 09.07.2011 10:53 AM PDT

wait there an age requirement, i can tell you right now i dont fir your requirement but i have the same beliefs, dont assume that everybody is the same cuz we are all different

  • 09.07.2011 12:24 PM PDT

I get what your saying, yes kids are often immature more than adults, but that doesn't make everyone under 30 like that, for example if i wanted to join your clan because you have the same beliefs as me i wouldn't be able to because i am only 18. I am not one to scream into the microphone or play music into the microphone or trash talk or anything, so i follow all of your requirements, but i wouldn't be allowed in because of my age. And just because were not 30 doesn't mean we don't have anything to talk about with people over 30. I talk sports i talk politics, i talk about world events, do you really sit there and talk about your wife and kids all day everyday? So just because i don't have those things doesn't mean there isn't anything to talk about, those aren't the only two topics in the world.
