How many Kid PC gamers are out therE?

Too many. And for some strange reason they always want to reveal their true age with their words and actions. And its no fun for the rest of us (most of the time)

i don't know. i've lost touch with kids a while back. some of my friends are starting to have kids, but not many are old enough to be gamers (especially not pc gamers).fireandcloud

yeah well without any jobs of any kinds saving up for a new rig for kids is virtually impossible unless you're rich and spoiled...

I completely disagree with that statement. I get £20 a month from my paper round and with that I built this. I save up in between birthdays/chrimbob and when I get about £50-£100 for my birthday I'll upgrade say my GPU + then at christmas I can upgrade a major part such as a mobo+cpu/monitor ect.

It doesn't take much. I'm the only 15 year old I know who can build PCs to my level but I know a couple of my friends know how to do some small upgrades. I recently got offered a job setting up PC systems for £12 an hour in offices when they relocate though. So my computer upgrades are going to get one hell of a kick start after my exams and I start that.

Most kids have more interests that just PC gaming, like most have other consoles as well and just run out of money before they know it. I didn't realize I would really want to be a PC gamer until just a year ago.

I started gaming properly on PCs about a year or two ago. This was my first rig which I built around christmas last year. Don't take me like a nerd btw, I go out every weekend give or take the odd one when I get grounded for mucking about in school but I'm not bad with my money.

As long as you don't spend it on crap, I.E you go to the cinema, just buy a ticket and maybe take a bag of sweets you bought from somewhere else and don't waste £15 on popcorn.

My money steadily builds up like that, I only buy games I actualy really want to play and make sure I don't waste it on crap ones. Like I had around £400 I'd saved just after christmas which I put straight into this rig, after that I've done small upgrades and probably put anouther £50 in. But at the moment I'm on £100 which I'm probably going to put into a monitor.

That's from £20 a month paper round and the odd £10 here and there for exam results ect.

I'm 16, I've been a PC gamer since 5, and never owned a console, not that I'm proud of that but my money always goes to my PC :P

Oh this thread makes me feel old.

I'm*ahem* 20 btw, but I start pc gaming at 13(I was a consolite since six heheh), just like most of you guys.

Wow, I think I'm the one who started the youngest.vash47

Don't think you can say that. Around the age of 3 or 4 my parents stuck me infront of the old TI-99 and I played TI-Invaders (Space Invaders for the TI-99.) I was amazed and quickly got interested in gaming. Grew up with a Nintendo, Sega, and a old 486 and gamed as much as I could. Then I got into consoles a bit more thinking that it was the greatest experience around while enjoying technology and especially computers on the side. Then I gained even more interest in computers, servers, and network hardware. With more interest in computers, I began building my own PCs and became a true PC Gamer. After my years of gaming on a PC, I have collected over 100 PC games and enjoy everything from RTS to RPGs to FPSs to Simulations. By the way, I'm only 21.

Well, you beat me ;)

But if my parents had bought me a computer before... :P

Well, computers are practically my life, I'm in college right now studying Software Engineering, I plan to work on the games industry when I finish my career :)

Yeah same here.

I'm 17 now, but I have always been a PC gamer since I was 7. I think the younger teens these days grew up more around consoles than PCs, when I was 7 I only used the family computer to play games like AoE and Duke Nukem 3D (R18 lol).

I started getting into PC hardware when I was about 13 and started building custom rigs, most of my male friends are the same. The females tend to like consoles more :/

The world needs a system, prejudice and a law slapped across gaming and it's accessories and counterparts. Personally I dislike gaming or talking with kids as we all know, they are immature and may cause tremendous problems to the community, such as, this seven year old gamer got jealous of a member of a group with stats and gear beyond his while they both are the same race and class and level and decided to kick him out of it.

Me, for one would like to see gamers at the age of 1-14 should be permenant banned and restricted from playing all games online and off from consoles, pc's and the internet itself. They may only play games such as barbie doll online and naruto and all that sort of garbage and the G and PG rating will be stripped of it's title from the OFLC and equilavent to international countries.

Will you welcome fan mail as well?

Been gaming since I was 7-8.

I'm 13 now.

I'm a high-school aged PC gamer, probably not considered a 'kid' anymore, more a teen.linkthewindow

technically you're a teen when you turn 13....but still theoretically teens are considered kids.

Seconded.

I've played PC since primary with Ages of Empire. Have ancient consoles like NES and have a PS2

Going for a media center this year with a mid-high end gpu 8800 gt or 9600 I hope

with decent processor of 2.5 ghz approx. 1.5 k to 1.8 k aiming for anyways

not spoiled, have been saving for a very long time now.

Love high graphics (Wish I could play Crysis) Love great depth and game play (Sins of a solar Empire)

Friends seem to be complete console wackos other than some that play WoW.

One even calls Company of Heroes. Company of C%@! When he's never even played the game... Trying to turn them into PC gamers but really just failing. Only PC games they would play are MMORPGs

Might get a new console in the future just to play with friends but always PC gamer 4 life.

im not a kid (anymore). but you can tell my childhood was spent playing pc games (no consoles, no ipods, anywhere between 2 and 4 pcs in the house). unfortunately, i too dont know any proper pc gamers :(

I'm fourteen and I have these specs:

Intel Core 2 Quad at 2.4 Ghz

9600 GT

3gb of RAM.

So I'm a gamer, but I'm not sure that fourteen is a kid.

I'm 24 so i guess technically not a kid anymore but still not an old fart either ;) . . . I started gaming on an Atari but when i was younger I played Wolfenstein 3d, the original doom, pitfall and NFS the originall, before you needed a dedicated gpu for gaming.

I got back into pc gaming a few years ago and just built my first pc a month ago, not sure how young people could afford to pc game atleast on any decent level considering how expensive it is.
