I would post a picture of me, but i'm paranoid. It is the internet after all, so my paranoia is justifiable.


In my case, since I do playthroughs, revealing pictures publicly would not have good consequences, as it would shatter the images that others have created on their own. There is a good reason why The Voice trope exists, after all.

I know you don't want a debate, but we have the right to know if you are in fact Jesus !


Hah, that reminds me of an episode that happened a few years ago in school. It was an ethics lesson (and the ethics teacher also happened to be the teacher of theology). One of my friends also has long hair, but he keeps it tied. During the lesson, he got bored and decided to adjust his hair, so he untied it. And it just so happened that the teacher mentioned Jesus in the sentence he was saying. Everyone in the class looked at my friend, who was quite confused at that sudden burst of interest in him there Grin

I imagine a tall (-ish), thin white man with black hair and a a black goatee, and always-sleepy eyes. Likes computers and alcohol, possibly introverted, in his late twenties, entangled in a distant and failing relationship with a younger girl with blond hair. You both met a few years ago at work, but you have left this job and are now working elsewhere (maybe from home). Fan of science fiction and fantasy, many books lying around in a mildly disorganised flat somewhere near or in a great city (Vilnius according to your profile). You always wanted to live by the sea but this never happenned for several reasons. You see your parents from time to time but they live quite away, so it's not as regular as you would be.

I like inventing lives for peoples I've never seen.

Case in point! Cheesy

Though some 30% of that was rather true.

You are now obligated to list what was right and what was wrong, and then post a picture of you that is less than 20 years old but more than 10.

Pics or it didn't happen, Hellkeeper! A video would be better though.

Correct, Great Emerald. I bet we won't have that kind of problems, I smell brain implants similar to HDDs. *knowingly ignores the risks of government checking stored memory data/modifies memories to keep one under control* Cheesy

Among people of my age, I feel old, when I'm on here, I feel young when I start to read all that talk about the good old times.

Btw, I guess their misjudgement about your age seems to come from the way your posts look like. I bet, even though some may not admit it, there are prejudices against the current generation of adolescents and young adults such as horrible orthography, grammar and no structure in posts.
May apply to me, but to be honest, school didn't teach me that much English, the Epic Games forum did the most. Tongue

Greetings from the "new" generation of Unreal players. Cheesy

You know you're an old gamer when your cell phone has a better CPU than the computer you used to make your maps with. (600 MHz CPU on the PC first used for Zahltag, 600 MHz CPU in the HTC smartphone I use).

OR

(I do this one lots).

Sit on a PC and make landline phone calls using Google, and at the same time browse the internet on a cellphone.

Been playing Unreal ever sense it came out back in 1998, I was 10 years old.
And now a days every kid is born on Call of Duty and thinks they are the Elite video game player in the world. Shocked

This is probably one of the funniest and most meaningful threads in the anything else section i've seen on this site. Age, experience, knowledge, opinion, and other stuff is what makes us different, but our love for Unreal brings us together. Hell, because of that, first round of drinks are on me.

Man, it must have taken weeks to build the map.

Not weeks, think of it like a rebuild in UDK on a mediocre PC with lightmass enabled. I observed my brother who was making maps at that time when UT was just a year or so old and when he clicked on the build button he switched on the TV and drank some tea in the meanwhile - he could barely run the game on that thing, played it in the lowest resolution possible and everything turned down and ini-editing. Cheesy

And Buster, that doesn't make me feel younger because I lived with a crap PC for quite a while until I upgraded to be able to play UT2004! ...
And no idea what my new cellphone has inside of it, but I bet it's better than that PC I was making UT99 maps with.

Guess I'll throw in something: A picture taken yesterday of me (20, University student) and my baby brother (2, professional dribbler) wearing my glasses Smiley

People often think the age gap is a little weird, seeing as though my mother has already raised me and my sister! When I first moved to uni, everyone thought I was a father for the first 3 months!
