I hope you all don't mind me moving this, but it really belongs in Idle Banter (Officer's Club).
How old are you all?

Damn. I'm good enough to skip a grade, but they don't allow it in my state so I'm stuck with boring classes I've done in another state....

You mean there are actually classes that exist in schools that aren't boring?!?

I'm 16, and it sucks, because I can't go to overage gigs and I wish I was 18 but I'm still gonna have to wait another year and a little bit. Also, being in Australia sucks because the only american bands that ever come over here suck (except for GUK, and a few punk bands) and I want to see all the indie-rock bands I like but oh well I guess that's never gonna happen.
And if someone says that playing games is a waste of time well that's true, but totally stupid because everything we do on this planet is just wasting time, so we may as well be having fun while wasting time rather than being at school or something. Which leads me onto the "school is pointless" point. We go to primary school in preparation for high school. We go to high school in preparation for uni (or as you yanks call it, college). We go to uni in preparation for work. We go to work so we can retire and then retirement is just preparation for death. Hmm. Imbroco.

More on that preperation:
Every year in school, we do stuff at the next grade level to prepare for that grade. When we get to that grade, instead of doing the stuff we prepared for, we do stuff at the next grade level to prepare for that grade, and so on.

Wow, your school is efficent. We spend three quarters of the school year reviewing the stuff from last year, then we cram in everything we were supposed to learn this year into the remaining quarter of the school year. And it goes on from there...

I'm a sophmore this year, and I will graduate as a junior because I am HOME SCHOOLED! And if you think that's cool, a certain girl that I know (who I can't get my mind off of but doesn't seem to give a damn about me) is a junior, although she just turned 15 on August 19. That's because she is home schooled also.

Yep, seems familiar, but we just spend all our time talking about what we are going to do next week

I have a plan so ingenius even an idiot could have devised it. On my command, we will line up our ships and fly straight into the enemy death-cannons clogging them with wreckage.

I'm old enough to buy all of you beer. I was going to give my actual age until I read the other posts and realized that you'd probably speak slowly to me and sign me up for Meals on Wheels. My age begins with a "2." How's that?

If you mean Starfight Finale, yes Laguna has that and I recently found it on an old MacAddict CD. (the one with Diablo on the front-august 98)

Oh, Starfight Finale is old, yet it came out on that CD. It could be that I have the wrong game, but it looks like something from long ago.
