I saw Poltergeist when it hit theatres, I was 12, scared me silly.

Wouldn’t do that again if I could get a do-over.

Agreed. That movie was a tad bit gross.

I’m curious about the age disparity but something tells me most 16-21 year olds (target audience when I started playing) aren’t picking WoW up these days. MMOs just don’t seem super popular at the moment.

I am being sent home early from 1st grade due to Challenger, discovered Troma Theater in middle school, and performed A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum in high school, and the last day of my two week notice at Hot Topic was the same as the Columbia incident age.

A little younger than me but not by more than a few years. I was in…I think 4th grade for Challenger? I don’t remember exactly what year it was. I was also a year ahead of where I should’ve been in school because my birthday is in October. (So I was a year younger than my classmates for the most part.) Some classmate told me the space shuttle exploded and I seriously thought he was just messing with me.

I wish I could be 40 again. It’s been awhile.

Think it was 86. And to top it all off, our teacher decided to have a movie day the next day to “calm” our little brains…

The movie was Watership Down lol. I still remember that “family friendly” film being an ABC Family Night Movie Special a few times right after AFHM lol. Couldn’t escape it for a while.

Yeah I was 13. I just can’t remember what grade I was in. My brain decided to dump all info about what age goes with what grade, or what the grade numbers in school even are years back.

Imagine revealing your age to a bunch of strangers on the internet.

36

I guess I’m exactly the average age, then.

:grin:

EDIT: I saw the first Star Wars film when I was in high school. It was awesome.

I also remember watching the original Star Trek series on TV. It was awesome too.

37

And I am older. I was here in Vanilla and I am still playing it to this day.

I started playing WoW when I was 20. I’m 40 now.

Age is only limited information. Better than the infancy days when we used to use ASL.
