Not that age is much an excuse, I know a friend that was 12 and could play DOOM and the like perfectly fine, without the automap even, and a 7 year old cousin that can play free-roaming platformers [prime example: Keen 4] without any trouble, so... Is age the question we should be asking?

Aye, I was playing Descent [albiet not well] when i was around 5, didn't get passably good until i was 8 [aka understand how to move properly] and was beating the later levels when I was 12, and Descent is no easy cookie of a game to grasp.

Though by internet standards, I'm quite new... DGF was my second forum that I joined, and almost immediatly after my first. [which has subsequently died.. not by my hand] But then, I never did learn to type all 'lol me 2' and that until recently, after having been typing full-prose for more than a decade prior..

But still, there could be a whole story like that to go with Abyss, we don't know until he says, I s'pose..

Good to know.

Plenty of room to improve in ye.

I recommend mastering the art of the 'Shift' key, including its applications with the slash/question mark key, among other such common characters.

After that we can move onto the next step.

The padawan shall learn.

I suggest practice.

And minding of the current subject matter in a thread.

I have beaten ghouls and ghosts on my genesis without using any forms of cheating. I am english and i am from canada in the city of sudbury. I was in a french school for my first year of school so i have a bit of a french dialect. I don't know how to use the spell check on microsoft word.

LOLZ internets.

Hmm, The French schooling at an early age may account to the poor structure of sentences?

We've already been through all this before though...No point. His mind works on different tangents.

Also: on beating games and what-not...I never ever play shooters. The only one i enjoy is House Of The Dead 2, when it is in
an arcade and i get to hold a gun. I was too scared of those kind of games when i was a kid so stuck to cartoon jump and runs (no gruesome deaths) and adventure games (mainly lucas arts...again, no death). Since doing that as a kid, i was never really exposed to other games until high school...

Cool
