How old are you?
 

Having been a lifelong fan of sci-fi and fantasy, I'm always filed with a sense of sadness when my buddies grow up on me. I've collected comics and toys since the age of 5 and growing older has only led to more expensive collecting like Master Replica lightsabers, Gentle Giant busts and statues, movie props, hard to find graphic novels / collected editions, toys from the 70s and 80s, and my new passions include novice level figure customizing and diorama building. I also enjoy table top RPGs like Pathfinder and am working on running a Cyberpunk/Palladium TMNT hybrid game for a local group of friends.

I work as a Psychiatric Nurse in Lethbridge Alberta, but at the age of 40 I sometimes wonder if I should have moved on from all this. Is this normal? or am I stuck in a life stage that should have ended by now?

So my question is... are there any other mid-lifers here? How old are y'all?

I'm 32, not only do I like nerd stuff, but I still go to cons and cosplay. You're never too old to do something you enjoy. (Unless you're hurting others anyway.)

Well I just turned 33 but I feel the same way, enjoy what you love to do as much as you can while you can, life is short.

Baby Jester is only 28. Goo-goo gah-gah.

I'm 29 and will be thirty in February. It's going to be a bit of a milestone for me, but I still enjoy having fun and watching cartoons. You're never too old to love that stuff. Remember, age is just a number and nothing more.

I am 28 years and 295 days old.

I'm just 24.

I'm old enough to be my daddy... or something like that.

I am 28 years old, the Turtles never escaped from my mind completely, because they were a part of my early life. Later, from time to time they were pushed into the background, but they returned !

I'm 33. I collect and play with all my geeky/nerdy things as much now, if not more than I did, as when I was younger.

Now that I have children they need a good role model right?

I'm 17. :tanime:

Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway.

31 -__-;

the age i feel 50 mental age 16 calendar year 28

also am a vender at some of the local cons and my wife is a great artist. I also make props and costumes and stuff like that

28, going to be 29 next month.

I'm 28.

It's crazy because next year I will have been a member here for a friggin' decade.

Wow.. same here. I didn't even realize it.

Is this the part where everyone says how old they feel even though they're in their 20's and 30's?

im only 22. But i like to pretend im 18.

I can't speak for everyone, but I don't feel all that old.

I just turned 30.

24. 25 next month!

I just turned 20. I'm getting close to a decade on here too.

You know what boggles me?

I have no clue how old Krang and Shredder are.

Haven't we done these "How old are you?" things before??

Anyways... Im 32 till January.

immortal!!! 8)

I just recently had a birthday, and so I turned forever!


Or I meant to type 26.

This is not an age, sir.

Great responses. Thanks guys! :) Must have been looking for some validation the other night. Moving to a new city, I'm now settled with the work situation and looking for like minded pals. Not hard to find a click in Calgary with 1.2 million people but Lethbridge is just shy of 100 thou. Need a shout out from TMNT Canadian. lol I was hard core turtle fan in the mid to late eighties and getting back into it now has been an absolute joy. In the interest of giving credit, it's really been a recent need for nostalgia and the beautiful work of Discogod and Salemcrow that inspired me to try new hobbies. Want to give thanks for that.
So seriously... am I the oldest of the herd..

Twenty-two.

God, I am so old.

29 years young

Well I skipped straight to page 2 when I first came to this thread. So I missed this amazing opening comment. Personally, I think its awesome that you've held onto your sci-fi, fantasy side. Hope I do, wish I knew more forty year olds that had a more interesting side to them. Seriously, its like move onto what?

Football, guns and ammo, playing the stock market, and slot machines? I think you could do the family thing, work a job, and keep your sci-fi roots! Plus I'm sure your collection is collecting value, maybe more than "normal" investments. Btw, that rpg sounds amazing!

I'd love to see your finished game one day! Not sure if your familiar with the 2k3 series, but check this episode out, it might provide some helpful inspiration your table top. \/\/\/

Season 3 episode 21 "Same As It Never Was", it has an amazing fan made intro. Donnie gets thrown into this crazy future parallel world.

I think the episode would have been better if splinter would have traveled into this future world. I really wanted to see a cyborg Donatello done right. Something a bit less bulky than in the image comics would have been nice. So if you do a cyborg Donnie and you chose to share this rpg, please keep that in mind! This might be to personal, feel kind of rude asking this... Your not a forty year old virgin are you? =P jk Don't answer that it might get too weird!

Just hit the big 3-0 today

Happy birthday, Zarius.

I'm 27 here. I still don't feel like an adult.

Thirty Five.

I think I'm 26, that sounds right

23 but soon to be 24.

i'm 21 yay!

Tell me about it :ohwell:

21. I swear, sometimes I feel like I have quarter-life crises though...
