according to the paladin handbook, matt graduated with shiro. which either means he's the same age as him, or he skipped a few grades (which is most likely). honestly, as long as matt is 22+, i dont mind people shipping him with shiro. personally i dont ship them (they haven't had any interactions at all..) but it could change.
also yeah i agree ana!! it's really fun to see the gameflux 3000 (or whatever) back and running. i thought the little bit with lance loosing the game was funny because i do it all the time :,o
