Never too old for anything, I'm 40 this year and still enjoy video games. Been playing them for the last 30 years so why stop now.

Self respect?

It's funny the attitude playing games gets, you're allowed to watch films, listen to music or read books to the day you die but for some people playing games can't be anything other than kids toys...

Lol, i actually stopped playing games when I was about 21 or so, but then I was a juvenile fucker before n very much still am. I just can't be arsed like, fair enough if you have the time and energy to invest. I know I can be awesome at games, but 1500 hours racked up on counter strike source pretty much made me realise I don't need to keep proving it to myself. The noobs have been thoroughly pwned...
Occasionally pondered trying to play games since, strategy stuff n the like, but I just can't be arsed. Got Final Fantasy 7 PC version just sitting there n not bothered. Strategy games are probably the main thing that would tempt me back, if I had a graphics card on my laptop n could play newer games, and had the time to bother investing in them (which I don't feel I do really).
Pretty hilarious how seriously a few people saying video games are for children (which is of course bollocks, they are primarily for 14-40 year old men with sufficient money, time, short attention spans and moderately unfulfilled relationships/lives
) is taken by gamers though, they get right offended and indignant. Get over yourselves, it's just a game, mannnn. My 60-something year old dad plays plenty of strategy games and is amazing at sim city and designing stuff, but he also knows he's a sad fucker and is happy with that, the idea of playing them online even weirds him out because it's too complex and social or something

It's the sound of raw nerves being touched.
Older than kabbes and younger than madzone.

OK. Not sure how old Madz is. But you're too old for skinny jeans, and you may well be entering the Black Jeans Only age range*.

(* Do not make the mistake of thinking that this means pink/red/burgundy jeans are OK. They're not).

It's been an interesting thread this. Anti-gamers have shown themselves to be older chaps worried that they have missed out so react by seeking to denigrate gamers by infantilising them, whereas gamers show that old stigmas are still a source of concern and hurt and lash out at any suggestion that games might not be all that.

A sure sign you're too old for an X Box.
