The other day I was playing Warcraft, and someone was seeking others to join him in a twenty-five person raid. One of my guildmates reacted: "I hate that guy!" I asked why, and my guildie elaborated. "He only does .624 damage. He dies all the time; he's always bugging the druids for battle rezzes." My guildmate went on and on, thoroughly dissecting and condemning this other player, finally winding up by saying, "He's fourteen."
"He should understand that Warcraft is a game for the middle-aged," I said.
My guildmates, who are almost without an exception middle-aged, all agreed. Perhaps in twenty-five years this other player might mature into a good Warcraft player. In the meantime "someone should send him a 'Hello Kitty Island Adventure' membership" one snarked.

Do they have Denny's breakfast specials in WOW for us oldies?
yes, early bird specials and lipitor potions.
Ah yes the tweenagers running around on WoW always used to get on my nerves too, although to be fair there were plenty of people my age who still acted as though they were 12 too XD
Everyone knows all computer games are for kids though, right? ^_^
How about Viagra Shakes?

Perhaps, you already know that. I just found her today.
amazingly its the 12 year old in the guild I'm in is an exceptional player, and the 40 year old who plays a pally dies most often.
If I hadn't heard him over vent I wouldn't believe the kid was really 12.
