    There actually is a 17 and 50 weeks area.

    It's all Pokemon and Singstar just to rub it in.

    The indie and retro areas are usually in the all ages area. Last time I pretty much walked through the over-18s area - the queue for everything was so long.

    I have the same problem. I have a youthful face because of my great genes.

    My ankles look old though so I wear socks. Then to get in the 18 areas I wear sandles.

    And you're already prepared to get into the 40+ area by combining the two.

    No, is suspect you'll look young enough that you have to provide ID to get in - but I'm plenty old enough to get in with a nod. I'm just saying it's really boring up there, and I wished I hadn't bothered going up.

    I hope that area exists. Just rows of comfy chairs and tea making facilities, to sit and complain about the noise, crowd and how terrible games are nowadays.

    If your ID says 17 you ain't playing the games.

    EG can and will be reported to the police as allowing under 18s to play games of this nature is classified as child neglect. They will also be liable to pay a fine of up to £500,000 for promoting inappropriate material to minors and breaching UK classification guidelines.

    Also I personally will be patrolling the area and approaching under age children with a series of penetrating questions.

    These laws exist for a reason - it's for your own protection, you don't want to start life as an adult "damaged", do you? Stick to Skylanders and Pokemon, you can't go wrong. Wait until you are mature enough for grown up games.

    Serious answer - change your username to Reme84. This will remove all suspicion.
  • Deleted user 20 September 2015 09:08:40
    Just tell them your username on the forums and you should be fine, they'll assume you're 29.

    We all know the restraining order won't allow you within a hundred yards of any questions.

    That's true, I will simply linger near the 18+ section filming the underage attendees attempting to access the zone on my phone.

    Then distribute the footage online and to the relevant EG staff.

    So there is no confusion I will label the videos "under 18 illegal entry games."

    I see no potential problems with this excellent plan, which did not make me laugh out loud on the train.

    You've got the wrong end of the stick; you're thinking of several babies all wearing the same coat, to sneak into the 18+area.
