MarauderCatIsEdgy you must be a math major and or computer programmer. No one uses Boolean that way unless they are. Not used like that in any of the languages I program with, but there are so many so who knows, maybe but doubtful. sorry, showing my age, I was considering more of a pre pascal kinda of programming. LOL |

Fun facts: BattleTech was first published in 1984. Recommended for age 12+. Their target audience overlapped almost perfectly the same kids that were part of the 1980's Dungeons and Dragons craze. If you were born 1968-1978 (i.e. 40-50 years young), this is you. In 1994, Virtual World had a number of sites you could go to and, for $50ish you and 11 of your closest friends/strangers could Team Death Match in networked Mechwarrior cockpits - complete with coms, hotas, rudder pedals, dynamic weapon groups, buttons for jettisoning ammunition (to avoid an overheating cook-off), and a keypad to type in a code to override an overheating shutdown. My friends and I drove two hours east to Walnut Creek, CA and probably dropped about $3,000 before Activation released Mechwarrior 2 in 1995. $50 for Mechwarrior 2, plus another $300 for a Thrustmaster Flight Stick, Throttle Control, and Rudder: we never made it back to Virtual World. Lots of good memories. Cheers! |

Lots of good memories. Cheers! YES, Virtual World of Dallas!! I gained free access to the place until they closed because a friend of mine worked there. We used to get some more friends together and play after the place closed for the night. Play all night with other techies in other cities and their friends. The graphics were ?dookie? but it was still great fun. Nothing else like it at the time. 53 here by the way. Been playing all kinds of games since 1969. Anyone remember Shuffleboard? Darts? Horseshoes? |

I am officially impressed!! Thanks.. Though.. Age is a mind game.. Tho I don't smoke or drink.. I also don't work out except to do what I do.. Gaming keeps you mentally sharp.. Proven fact.. so they will need to pry my tablet from the same hands as my cameras when they bury me, as that is the only time I will give them up.. Cheers.. Excuse me, did you say age is in the mind??? So my high blood pressure, failing eyesight, arthritis, crappy knees and back along with the stroke i had a few weeks ago can ALL be attributed to a state of mind??? Wonderful!!! So i will just think positive, keep sharp and dump my meds in the toilet!! Im free!!! Age is a state of mind my azz! |

Haha I’m 40 ... We should feel sorry for ourselves playing games ... This is defo a sarcasm... I love the fact that I’m of that age and I still think and act like a boy in many ways ... And for all of you younger co-pilots out there, keep your hart and soul clean so that you will always feel young !!! Good hunting people! UMMM, at 40 I would have hoped you knew the difference between hart (adult male deer) and heart (organ for moving blood thru a hart). Just an observation. I tend to be anal about spelling.... probably because I can't. No I did not know that but I do now... thank you Also you may comment on the actual post itself see your point of view on that one!!! Cheers |

So kab00m my post on the actual thread or OP, Is this. My age has been stated a few times sense my inception on this forum. I am in the top 5% of the forumites. I have seen the first desktop computers when i was in highschool. I was serving my country overseas when the Challenger exploded I am a grandpa and proud of it. I know there are peeps older than me but i also know i am older than most here. But enough of me, i am not an exciting read, move along,,, move along! |

It's trying to escape all that sparkling personality.  Have a ? and take a chill? already. |

MarauderCatIsEdgy you must be a math major and or computer programmer. No one uses Boolean that way unless they are. Are you talking about the poll? Or this : "Surprisingly there are no people bellow ten. I swear i saw a thread talking about the forum's communitie's favourite games and that the OP of that thread voted for a certain game that is dying out day by day since the realese of a certain game in the genre that was fairly new at the time which appeared because the creator of the first game of that fairly new to the industry genre really liked that movie with the same title as this craze of a game genre that it is. Oh wait was that sentance too long? I swear i dont remember writing a summ of words that in theory can be considered to have a certain amount of digits that can be considered by a pretty big margain of people pretty cramped with words and that the creator of this very post is just repeating the same joke over and over. What was i talking about? Oh yeah thus DIO is weaker than a rat. but you know what a rat can be beat by? Flies. Or other ... wait am i typing a script of a youtube video on an asian's country animated comic series. Oh yeah I am. So the moral of this post is that you shouldnt take stereotypes too seriously because they can be infact wrong thus. Oh yeay Yoshikage Kira is thus bellow a rat then again cats are better than rats and if A is... Oh no i got lost on the internet again. So where was I. Oh yeah the OP of that thread liked minecraft and i thought that he was younger than 10 guess not." |

So i will just think positive, keep sharp and dump my meds in the toilet!! Im free!!! Age is a state of mind my azz! Sorry about your health issues.. they suck.. I know a 31 yrs old who had a stroke.. really good dude and it really did a lot of damage.. I never reference my age in real life.. I just do what I want to do.. Do I have more soreness, of course.. do I let it slow me down.. maybe a little.. But overall.. Age IS a lot in your mind.. I see ppl all the time my age who look like they are way older and do nothing but veg out on a sofa while complaining about everything.. Myself.. most ppl think I am in my mid 40's.. I am out on my Motorcycle every time the weather allows, got a big 4x4 Dodge I go out on the trails and have some fun with.. Kick it at metal concerts and have shot some of the biggest ppl in the music industry.. I have been published in a bunch of mags, will be doing some skateboard shoots coming up.. My butt is anything but sitting around the house on a sofa b1tching about everything, not doing anything.. Just chill brother and do your best to do what makes you happy..  I They removed hundreds of lymph node tumors from my neck in 2016, along with most of my Thyroid and my Parathyroid.. since 2014 i have had a LOT of pain issues.. still do, though not as much as before my surgery.. I could have been bitter and just sat around, but I choose to fight through it all everyday.. I have enough health issues that if I chose to do so, I could collect disability and not have to work.. but I refuse to go that route. It ain't easy.. but it is what it is and I am still letting my passions push me to grab my cameras and go out and do what I love to do.. I can barely move the next day sometimes.. But..it is all worth it in the end, at least to me.. Maybe take better care of YOU, fruits, veggies, get out on a bike and peddle your butt around if you are able to.. but keeping your joints moving helps a lot.. don't get caught up in the mud of life that others choose to get caught up in.. I drove Tractor Trailer for 25 years, 3-million miles... So I lived a hard life.. But I will be d-a-m-n-e-d if I am going to sit around and let everything bring me down.. And even if I wanted to, I have a 41yr old gf who does not let me use my age for an excuse.. she pushes me everyday to be everything I can be and more.. Life very much is what you make it... hope you feel better soon ... Best of luck to you in the future.. ! |

I was referring to the use of the "greater than/less than" arrangements. When I was at tech, we referred to it as Boolean Boolsh**. Which reminds me. When I left school and worked at the Dept of Motor Transport (who has has about 5 name changes since then), I was 19. They called me "young Andrew" all the other guys were mid 20's minimum. Straight after that, I got into my apprenticeship with Telecom (before Telstra) and I had just turned 21. My nickname then? FOSSIL!! Because I was "so old". I guess it's all relative. I'm 54. Used to play video games BEFORE computers. Arcade. 20c a game. If you were good that 20c could last a long time. We would boot the PC into DOS to play Duke Nukem to get better performance. |
