Title: What IS up with you guys
Post by: uptown on February 19, 2009, 05:45:13 PM
I have to speak my mind here. I've noticed lately that the younger gamers in this communtiy are just down right mean to us old guys. We're always told to catch up in mishuns, made fun of because we don't have a girlfriend, laughed at because we fall asleep in the middle of a fight and called uncool. Us old guys 35 to 65, want to have fun too you know. This game is great fun for me. When I was a kid like you, I didn't have anything like this to play. My family was so poor that on Christmas, mom and dad couldn't afford both clothes AND toys, so they just bought me a pair of nickers and cut holes in the pockets in hopes I would find something to play with :cry
So please don't make fun of us old folks because we can't see well or hear well or fall asleep in mid flight. We want to like the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus but I'm afraid all the years of listening to Pink Floyd, Jimmy Hendrex and Led Zepplin have ruined our taste in music. :cry
All I'm asking here is to help a old guy out once in awhile. I like to hear about girls and stuff still.I just can't talk outloud about it because this old woman I live with will hit me in the back of the head if I say anything. Then she'll make me take out the trash and watch silly movies with her on the lifetime network.Us old farts would much rather log on and answer your questions about how to takeoff, shoot rockets,drive gvs and show you which bases to bomb.

You old folks may get picked on for not having girlfriends, but you can brag about being married! (that is if you haven't been divorced for paying more attention to AHII than your wife  ;) )

Well how bout it ya young wippersnappers?

Buy us a beer and just smile and nod when ya see us.  heck we cant hear ya anyhow. :D

Since they invented that viarga stuff it is like a new lease on life but, the cruel joke is that we all too old and ugly to pick up and of those cuties. We are too crippled up to run down the tender young Ewes. Heck we wouldnt be able to decide what to to with them after we caught them anyhow. ( some of us  :devil)

Uptown traded me a young Ewe but, she was tainted and I should have known there was something wrong with her. let's say she is a bit used up and smells kinda funny. looks good at 40 yards tho but, heck I cant see anymore.

(anyone want her ?)

The years have not been kind to some of us.  heck it is a hike for me to get up off the couch and fetch myself a beer( kids all grown up) I have to rest halfway there. I just keep the case next to me now so I do not have to make the trip.  dont mind the buckett next to my desk.  I have looked into the depends but, that means I would have to make a trip to the store. (spend most of my weekends there with the Wife ack )

Some of us pick up things that others throw in the trash and collect it just in case someone might need it . Heck we have tons of this stuff. We still have every computer and computer part we have ever owned, just because we just cant stand to see something that could be useful in the trash. ( I wonder why I still have the huge box of 5 inch floppies ? ) Never know.


We got hair growing out of our ears, and so much nose hair we look like party favors when we sneeze. Some of are so old that we fart dust. But, that dont mean that we are all bad.

The old hag wife ack has shot us down and nagged us about taking out the trash or just wanting us to sit by her in complete silence while she reads a book or watches some stoopid chick flick . ( would rather  nail my nads to a park bench ! ) To the point that we are just a shell of the proud well rounded individuals that we once were.  :devil Whats with the seat up seat down thing... she has even asked me to sit to pee ! nofrigginway! :mad: that alone tells me she is the devil and trying to turn me into some kind of sissy.

We can still tell ya how the good old days were. and piss and moan about how everything been going down hill since  the days we flew on the old atari systems. also about dial up connectons and when ya had to pay by the hour to fly. getting some of those bills  really showed dedication to the online flight sim community :)

The thing I cant understand is guitar hero ? back in the old days we  really had to learn to play the guitar.

remember fellers you will be like us one day and you will say.. dang! Uptown was right we should of been nicer to those old guys.

ok.. time for bed. it is 6:30 past my bed time. gotta be up at 4am and I am sure that I will only get about 3 hours sleep. ( on a good night the wife ack snores like a chain saw) I hope this little chat has given you younger fellers a little more insight on what is like to be a poor used up bastage like us old guys and, why we are all  screwed up like we are. it is the natural process of life I guess.

just let us tag along and let us get a kill 1v1 once in awhile. then tell us what a skilled pilot we are. you can laugh among yourselves later if you like. as you see we really just dont care much anymore.

Best  Regards.

I'm not an old fart? 

I'm friggin' 33, but I demand and exemption!  My nickname at work and around the house is "Walter".  Apparently I'm just like a puppet of the same name used by Jeff Dunham.

I submit my case :)

Nice one, Uptwon ;)

Rock on!!!  Well except Bon Jovi...was too over played when he was new.ruined it for me. 
The best part is still being able to crank bands like this up that will always have more power, experience, and talent than an artist that is over marketed for one hit singles! :devil
