How Old Are All The Wii Owners in Here

[kentomodo]

Outstanding post! As I mentioned before, I'm 41, so it's good to see a small contingent of "older" gamers on here :yesnod:

Yes kids, we occasionally set our prune juice down, get up from our recliners, hobble over with our walkers and fire up a videogame :smilewinkgrin:

(clip) I remember all my BB/pre-web time spent on my 1200b US Robotics modem.

Thanks for the compliments DT -

And regarding the 1200 baud modem, I started with a 300b modem - and I still have it downstairs. The last I checked, all my old equipment still works - If only these younger folks realized what we had to go through to advance to today's state of gaming. If only they knew what the programmer's had to go through!

Believe me when I say that the Wii System is the most innovation system out there right now. No other comes close. Yes, the Xbox 360 and PS3 cost a bundle more, but do they have the controller capabilities of the Wii?

I seriously think not. Like I said, that's what attracted me to this system - easy and unique controls. Plus it's wireless, so I don't have to keep grabbing my walker to go over to the console to change settings.

It's great. Plain and simple - it's great.

I got my Wii for Christmas "06.
So not even a year.
Mine's already broken though.
Which is pretty depressing.

dude I've got you all beat and I'm 26, I've got 2 functioning acoustic couplers

one I have set up so I can use it like a 56k on a pay phone and the other is an original I picked up for the soul purpose of making a lame a$$ student film like war games, that ended up just being a really bad spoof. I got them in my storage space I'll try and dig them up for a pic.

ARISTO ==>

Acoustic Couplers?

My God, I haven't seen one of them in a long, long time. They had them for the Atari also. And in high school, I remember seeing them. I'm not sure what they were used for way back in 1972/1973, but my school's beginning Computer club - the real "geeks" used them to contact one of the University's computers.

BLUERADIO ==>

Your Nintendo Wii already broke down?

If you don't mind my asking - What happened?

I had heard these were well made; not like the Xbox 360 and the Red Light of Death.

OMG, hahaha, please do, I havent' heard anyone say 'acoustic coupler' in a LONG time, let alone actually have a couple +working+ ones. :crazy:

The only old dialup relic I have is an external USR HST that I got when I used to SysOP a video game BBS. I think it still works (the power supply was dead, but it at least lit up with one of those Radio Shack multi PS).

Wow I wish I had read this sooner, this explains a lot, I now know why I see so many immature responses around the site. I'm 20 and the Wii is the only console I have felt worthy of my effort to purchase on launch day. I'm in college so I do have down time for gaming and in the time I probably play my wii 45% of the time and my 360 the other 55%, have to give it up for the plethora of online games on the 360 versus the handful on the Wii.
