You probably get this question a ton, so I understand if you don't bother to answer. But I'm from Hawaii, and that's gotta count for something.<br /><br />Mahalo!Nalu Rashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921240348545587810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-6033196650051636042012-04-22T09:00:09.719-07:002012-04-22T09:00:09.719-07:00Have you ever owned "The Lost World" by ...Have you ever owned "The Lost World" by A.

I turn 21 this year and I remember back when I was reading your articles in CGW. I have every single issue of GFW. Those magazines and your writing got me through some times and I'd just like to thank you because if it weren't for you my writing would undoubtedly be way less humorous and different. I definitely get feelings of feeling older as you look back on your life too and I'm only 21! I guess great minds think alike. As I grew older I started to wander away from the Gaming media (and even gaming itself) for better pursuits such as women etc. Your name came to my mind randomly as I was watching a clip of X-play and I thought I'd see if you were keeping up the good work! 100/100 Thanks...

They were quite funny. I also remember when you took over as editor in chief (from Johnny Wilson?). I'm not nearly as old as you (I'm 42) and women still do look at me longingly (except when I have too much Cheetos dust at the corner of my mouth). In any case, you article struck a chord with me. Unfortunately at 42 I still don't know what the heck I want to do (after being a software developer). I hope in 8 years I can figure it out.Rob Clarkhttp://oneguytoomanygames.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-74904512707068391132012-03-05T00:00:18.146-08:002012-03-05T00:00:18.146-08:00As with most of these comments I shall begin by st...As with most of these comments I shall begin by stating my age. I'm 22. I've been a fan of yours since your days at 1up and you seem to epitomise what I hope to happen to me in the years to come. You have grown up to have many responsibilities such as a wife, a child and from what I see a successful career but you haven't "matured". You maintain a silly sense of humour and enjoy the things that some more serious people deem past your age. Which is wonderful thing. <br /><br />Keep up the good work.Allyhttp://www.twitter.com/loganchasenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-49639118084202430702012-03-02T01:53:46.180-08:002012-03-02T01:53:46.180-08:00I'm turning 38 in August and have my first chi...I'm turning 38 in August and have my first child on the way a month after. I'm about to get married...again. I have a seemingly neverending stack of games and books I suspect I'll never finish, but that's a good thing, I guess. I play guitar, want to form another band, and have yet to pick up my trumpet and re-learn it.<br /><br />Don't skip Dr. Who, though. When I look back over the last twenty years, I can't think of much I'd change. I'd definitely play as many games as before. I think we're not truly "old" until we give up on having fun.M.

Far from over, I expect life feels better as you grow older.<br /><br />And don't worry, plenty of chicks have that "older man" sexual inclination.

Most of us look back upon the history of human beings over the past 20 century's as if it were almost a work of fiction, like a fairy tale or a series of Disney films. But those times just like today were very real. They came and went, just like the 60's 70's 80's and 90's have come and gone. Someday in the future, (if we make it that far) our ancestors will be looking back from the year 2399, a time that to them will seem impossibly far in the past, much like 1685 seems to us. <br />2012, the time of Jeff Green and the Cudgel of Xanthor will be as far in the past to the people in 2399 as Galileo is to us today.Grapentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10238759665053439676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-30062127580939815932012-02-25T12:50:45.314-08:002012-02-25T12:50:45.314-08:00I will be 37 in a few months, happily married and ...I will be 37 in a few months, happily married and have a 5 and 1 year old. As far as I can tell there is no switch, just gradual increasing responsibility as time goes on. I can also tell you I've been able to maintain my love of games, movies, and tv ( reading has been relegated to when I am traveling). I'm not sure what I expected life to be like at my age, but it's pretty different from what my parents seemed like.Neilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-54434727873539827932012-02-25T11:35:00.309-08:002012-02-25T11:35:00.309-08:00I'm about to turn 29 and about to have a baby ...I'm about to turn 29 and about to have a baby in 3 months.
