The last one was a bit more interesting than usual:

Veteran Gamer Opinion Poll #8

The demographics of gaming have changed since the 8-bit era. For many of us, old games can cause nostalgia, dredging up memories of velour and The A-Team. Then there is the newer generation, who are more familiar with 3D environments and in-game, licensed popular music. I think it would be interesting to know the age spread at OCR. That said,

1. I think that, overall, most gamers are:

a) older than I am

around the same age

c) younger than I am

and

2. most of the gamers I know are:

a) 12 years old or younger

between 13 and 18 years old

c) between 19 and 24 years old

d) 25 or older

Here are the responses:

1. I think that, overall, most gamers are:

a) older than I am - 1 vote (12.5%)

>>>>>>>>>>>>

around the same age - 6 votes (75%) WINNER!

and

2. most of the gamers I know are:

a) 12 years old or younger - 0 votes

between 13 and 18 years old - 1 vote (12.5%)

c) between 19 and 24 years old - 5.5 votes (69%)

d) 25 or older - 1.5 votes (18.5%)

So these aren't really scientific results, only being 8 votes out of a possible 1,300 active users. Still, the results seem to point strongly to an older OCR and gamer community than I would have originally guessed.

Thanks to all the voters! New poll early next week. Have a great Easter weekend, all. I'm outta here!
