      I know, it’s rough. I remember watching StarCraft 2 back in the day, and one of my favorites was “WhiteRa”, and they always made comments about him being ancient at 32…

        Good ol’ “Special Tactics” WhiteRa. It’s funny, because most of the top SC1 players are now that age.

          I’m old enough to have played OG Star Craft, v1.0.3 v1.05 on CD ROM on an AMD K6-2 with 64MB of RAM…where’d my ibuprofen go?

              I didn’t play Civ II, I was into Starcraft, Incoming (1998 Rage Software), the Motocross Madness demo, Space Cadet, and RCT.

          Yes! Special tactics… I also remember twitch chat (I think it might have still been justin.tv then) would laugh about how many tea breaks he took per day.

          It feels like ages ago.

    Meanwhile in F1 a 42 year old is dicking on everyone else who isn’t driving a Red Bull.

      I appreciate Alonso making still feel young and keep the insane fantasy that I will one day be a race driver alive.

      He broke records for youngest WDC, pole sitter, podium, race winner, etc. I fully expect he’s going to set records for oldest.

      Let’s hope he can get into a good car and set a record for the oldest age to win a title. Although it’s quite hard as the oldest title winner is Fangio for his fifth title when he was 46 years old.

        I don’t think he’ll be able to get another title, but I sure hope he can at least get a race win

    I’ve been watching sports my whole comprehensive life. Just last season, for the first time ever, I was older than the head coach of my team. I mean I still am, but you get it.
