re: You know you are old when....

I started playing America's Army a few months ago. Its a fun game that I really enjoy, but I'm pretty lousy at it. Its 99% multiplayer online. I hate it when other players start asking how old you are. I like to think of all my oppononts and teammates as 30 year olds relaxing at the end of a workday with the game. Instead the answers to almost all querys of age come back as age 12. I'm sure I'm not the only 30 yr old online. There must also be others who simply refuse to answer the age question as I do.

By the way America's Army is a free download. Just google it to find it. Its developed by the Pentagon for recruiting purposes. So those 12 year olds are why the game exists, so I guess I can't complain too loudly. :)

PS the great thing about Americas Army is you when you die you don't just respawn somewhere, you watch till your whole squad dies, finishes the mission, or the 10 minute timer expires. Then you play again. It sucks when you get blown away right at the start, but is much more enjoyable knowing there is a finite number of enemy as well.
