40... and my slowing reflexes are made worse by the tendon damage resulting from ten years of doing stupid tricks while rock climbing. It terns out that jumping laterally 5 to 10 feet and catching yourself by your finger tips on a sloping almost non-existent rock ledge does not just have short term consequences if you fall, but seems to also have long term consequences for your tendons if you manage to stick it!
Now whenever I pull R1 to shoot, my thumb twitches, causing me to sometimes melee instead. I have had to completely give up on using a Shotgun as a result, and it still regularly causes me to lose kills even with automatic weapons.
Getting Old sucks. 
But I am still one of the most skilled administrators in DUST.

It wasn't until college that I discovered the name of the movie, having spent most of my life with nightmares of the only scene that I could remember---William Hurt stumbling through his hallway, changing colors and mutating whenever he slammed against the wall.
- My dad told me I was too young for Heavy Metal. When he left for work, I watched it anyway. Stoner aliens sniffing space crack off the floor, glowing orbs melting people's faces, WWII zombies, and John Candy's voice having cartoon sex with some chick. Yeah, I think my dad was right =\
My father let me watch Clockwork Orange when I was 8. I don't remember much that happened when I was 8, but I remember that moving in vivid detail.

- Minion Max appears to be the oldest so far in this thread at 46.
- Bri Bub and Minion Max are both older than me, but younger than my wife.
- danthrax martin was born the same year I was.
- Which makes me at 40 (and a Virgo) either the third, or fourth oldest in this thread.
My wife is 50, but she was 48 when she stopped playing DUST 514 (which still beats everyone posting here so far).

My wife is 51, but she was 49 when she stopped playing DUST 514 (which still beats everyone posting here so far). I was born the year John F. Kennedy was inaugurated 35th President of the US, which is also the same year the current US President was born. It was also the year that NASA started projects Gemini and Apollo and the USSR launched Yuri Gagarin into space. This year - 2015 - I'll be 54.
So does that make you the oldest person in this thread? Is the bar now set at 54?
