Had to ask..

Crawl seems to be a game that draws a diverse group of people and I feel obligated to ask you old your sorry asses are :mrgreen:

EDIT: Take note that descriptions may cross over, and that quotation marks are missing from the second to last category (as in you forgot your damn hearing aids)

Your poll is inaccurate. I have been deemed a whippersnapper but fall into the 26-30 category.

OK, fine, I'm a 14 year old whippersnapper. And I remember cassettes too. I still watched a couple up to 2007ish.

This statement pretty much prooves the Cassettes joke. When referring to cassettes, we aren't referring to VCR 'tapes'... Back in the good ol' days everyone kept #2 pencils around ;)

Hey, I've barely reached the realm of "high-functioning adult" and I remember cassettes. Just because we're young doesn't mean we haven't studied ancient history. ;)

Re: Had to ask..

I'm only 26, and I remember listening to cassettes. Even used to listen to old 8-Tracks, and some vinyl records. Some songs just sound better on vinyl.

"Dignified" ... i think that those double quotes are supposed to be finger air quotes.

@Bobross: just remember to stay an inch or two out of chopping distance. :lol:

Also in terms of the psychological import of age thresholds, the poll should break age groups at the -9, not the -0. So:

<10
10-14
15-19
20-24
25-29

et cetera

For real, you need the cold attacks... it makes their bones ache and arthritis flare up. Also Fedhas Rain power will cause their hip to hurt which causes temporary berserkeritis. Sleep also works great on them.

If you really want to one-shot kill them though, just use Corpse Rot. Instantly turns them into a miasma cloud.

I had to make the obvious joke there because I know damn well that none of the kids here has got the comedy chops for it, and we need the yuks.

As to what happens in the next panel, well, I'm glad you asked, because it is one of the single best panels Onstad ever drew, and shows the old cat in an extremely flattering light. See for yourself.

Perhaps if we get more you can write us up a nice CI for the accuracy of the data.

Lol I put that because that's when MY dad got a Porsche (for a short lease). Also that seems like around the time when one could possibly (sort of) afford one.
