Smokin_Joe Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Been playing since I was 6 and don't think i'll ever stop. My wife and I each have our own computers that we play games on, plus a ps2, and my boys have their gamecube. I can see us in about 5 yrs having our own little lan party. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke2006 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I feel like a "baby" cmpared to some of the others. I am 42 and still love playing Madden, MVP, NBA, and NHL just as much if not more when I was in my teens and 20s. It is fun and allows me to relax from the daily challenges of being a good husband, father to my 2 year old daughter. I still love the challenges of trying to win championshps with the Reds, Bengals, Colts, Pacers, Bruins, and Blue Jackets. I think that it is sad that some consider it "foolish" for grown folks to be kids at heart. My wife knows she married a grown kid 15 years ago and I will always be one!!!!!!!!!

WinnieThaPujols Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 It is one of the most superficial things possible to assign an age at which you should stop playing games. It's utterly ridiculous. I read somewhere that the average MMORPG demographic was 40-year-old mom's or something absurd like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroEric Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 My Dad plays a game called City of Heroes regularly, and he just turned 50. Dad spent most of his life since he was 15 working in a mill, and, though he has natural writing talents (that he passed on to yours truly, I suppose), he never got a chance to use them. Until he started playing this game. Then he got his work published in a comic book. The video game is actually fulfilling a creative need in his life. Which is kinda cool, I guess. --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 you should never stop something you enjoy. everyone should have a hobby. there's no age limit on when you should start or stop watching baseball. if it brings joy to your life, then it makes no sense to stop it because people wanna tell you it's "immature". unless of course it's obviously anti-social...ie criminal activity or bottle feeding when you're 18 years old, etc.... and last i checked, games aren't really considered as such.

rixmithco Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 That's like asking "When should you stop reading books?" or "When should you stop going to movies?", which both look like pretty ridiculous questions. And with the popularity of MMO games and communities like this one, gaming is evolving to include a rich social aspect, which should help quell some of the external criticism of it over time. As for me, I'm 45, started gaming with Strat-O-Matic and other paper baseball games when I was about 10 and hope that I never feel too old to continue.

Yankee4Life Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I can't believe this thread is still active. It was stupid to start it because it made no sense at all. If you want to play a computer game or a console game you do it, who cares how old you are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOLINK Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 when I get married then when I have a child and he is like 6 or 7... let the gaming resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvp23 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Video Games are just another type of entertaiment. The only difference is that it`s more advanced than playing cards or board games. Why stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guildster Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 This is one of the best threads I've read on this site. Home run by UncleMo!! I'm 53 and I play an hour or two every evening. I will always choose a video game - usually MVP of course - over staring dumbly at the tube and I think as you age they actually help to keep your mind sharp. Besides, when a PC game comes along (and I have a bookcase full) with the replayability and relevance of MVP Baseball 2005-07, supported by this great website, I'll be playing it until my frickin' arthritic thumbs fall off.

elduque Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 If we do start playing back in time with a b&w old pong machine, and enjoy it! Why in this world -we should stop now- when we can play way more creative and complex games in a 32bits/64millions colors 22"/2ms screen? I'll keep playing till I'm able to make that nasty El Duque's slider break down and away making all those big guys look like.... girls btw I am ageless like him, we are both born in Havana in 1966, I guess LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
