I tried Quake2 ages ago, but IT WAS REALLY **** LOOKING, and play wise.If I got Q3, I would not have time to play, with all the time I spend doing this for D2 and that. but, thats not really important, I thought I would post it anyway...  ------------------ Trust Me = it takes a lifetime to find where U belong, and two lifetimes to find your Soulmate, but, I do not have a Lifetime or 2 of time on my hands....

I'm going to assume you mean drinking, driving and stuff. I don't think that there is a legal age for drinking AND driving.  Anyway, I'm not quite as old as some of the ancients in here (no offense Jeff ). I'm 29, but I sure do feel a lot older. One more thing, I do collect action figures as well. Well, actually I should say did, as I haven't bought anything in about a year now, but I do have a rather nice collection of mostly Star Wars, Star Trek and Spawn toys.

hehe, I know a guy that collects Star Wars and Trek stuff. He has heaps of figurines and that.I bet, that they'll be worth a bit, later on... but, you collect them cause you like them, dont you.. lol but, like anything they would be. I reckon its a good time, or mabey even a few years ago would have been to start collecting stuff. For example, I have quite a nifty collection of Phone Cards, before they put the chips on them. I even got one with Telecom on it, before they changed to Telstra.

I don't collect anything for profit. I don't see the point, since everyone is collecting hoping to make a profit in 20 years. The reason that older stuff is valuable now is because very few people were collectors back in the day. Even fewer actually kept them in unopened. But people only see that a $1.50 figure from the 70's is now worth $300, so they think the same will happen with todays toys.There are some exceptions though, like the 1701 series in the Star Trek line. If you don't know what those are, they were figures limited to a production total of 1701. Anything that was produced in such small numbers would be a pretty safe investment (assuming you could find them at retail). Anyway, I open 99.9% of my toys. Some just look too cool in the original packaging. The ones I do open eventually get displayed on my TV, on my computer desk, on a bookcase in my room, or on the entertainment center in the spare room. Every so often, I'll switch up what is displayed and what is stored away. I even superglued some action figures to the dash of my old truck. Got some funny looks when I went to trade it in. I've even been known to "play" with them once in a while.

hehe anything I collect, isn't cause of the profit either, I started phone cards cause everyone just through them in those boxes in the phone. I found heaps that way. I once had a huge stack of those Weetbix cards when I was 5-6 yrs old, about 11-12. I had heaps, and cann't believe I allowed them to be lost. STUPID ME. they don't make any of them anymore. I still have some bamby, pluto, and those disney ones though. ------------------ Trust Me = it takes a lifetime to find where U belong, and two lifetimes to find your Soulmate, but, I do not have a Lifetime or 2 of time on my hands....

I just turned 25, my brother is 20 and both of us mod. My dad (who doesn't even play D2) still watched cartoons. So, I don't think that age matters for that. Although, mym mom gets on my case because "you're 25 and you still watch cartoons". That's her response after I asked her why she doesn't like it when I watch anime. I mean, come on, I only watch all 26 episodes of Evangelion once a week. When I got the first DVD, I watched it every day for over a month. I can now sing the entire title song in japanese. That's not excessive, is it?

Yeah, but not too surprising, really. While we do have some great younger modders here, MOST of the younger online community is either too impatient to mod, too unskilled (or think they are), or too interested only in cheats and God-Mods to really be interested in the type of work that we do here.Yes, I know it's a generalization, but seems to be true from what I've seen. ------------------ -Mephansteras Don't take life to seriously -- you'll never get out of it alive!

Whee, more 14 year old brats, just like myself. I haven't really gotten into modding that much yet, but I will start soon. Just gotta play a LOT with my newstarted HC druid=) (Btw: is Erendrian a good name?) I started a little bit with Qbasic two years ago, but that didn't evolve into anything. Age doesn't matter. I will probably play snes-games when I'm 80. At least I hope so.

It got that Nimda virus the other day but I found out easy cause it started to do all this weird stuff...really weird stuff like hiding the extentions on files, and updating the system on every restart even if I hadn't changed anything.Hehe, My Young bro's friend got a virus the other day. When ever they tried to click on an Icon, it would move so they could click on it. LOL, thats a pretty funny virus. yeah, so....Gotta going to play D2 now, Cyas later. BTW: there are HEAPS of sweet games coming out soon. Anyone who plays THIEF, there is a new one coming which will be made with the Unreal Tournament Engine. That will kick. And theres heaps more big named ones aswell. Theres another RPG like D2 and BG aswell as an online thingy...but yeah there are heaps coming out.. Off ta D2...kill some hell spawned demons ------------------ Trust Me = it takes a lifetime to find where U belong, and two lifetimes to find your Soulmate, but, I do not have a Lifetime or 2 of time on my hands....
