When did I get so old?
I am 38 and I have been playing video games longer than most of you have been alive. I see everyone telling their age which seems to be the early 20s for the most part. Most everyone I know does not playing video games, but I have not been this excited about a game since Halo 2 or KOTOR. Anyone else in the same boat?
Edit: I am amazed at all the responses. Thank you all. See all of you on the 9th. Xbox One: pepelewe

39, feel like I'm surrounded by kids. Now I play online with my nephews!

I'm 32 and have been playing games since I was 5 (Sega Master System). Aside from spending time with my wife and daughter, there is nothing I'd rather do than sit down with a good video game and relax. I don't plan on quitting my gaming habit any time soon either. As far as being excited about Destiny, I don't think I've ever been this excited for a game. This past month since the beta has been absolutely miserable.

I'm 38 and have been gaming since commodore64. And I don't see any signs of slowing. Really looking forward to Destiny and meeting all ages of people who are eager to play this game. Thanks for building a great community.

It happened yesterday when you weren't looking.

2 RepliesI started playing on the original NES. I'm 34 and I'm going to keep playing until arthritis kicks in. LOL

I am 31 years young and in 2004-2007 I wasn't really into gaming. I played some PS2 games on occasion, but everything changed when I purchased a Xbox 360 w/ Halo 3. I really found myself gaming on the regular after work and college. Gaining friends who I continue to play with to this day. We've all been in a drought gaming wise lately. I have a feeling Destiny will change that.

1 ReplyStrangely enough, this is the first game in absolutely ages that I am counting down the days until it is released. I have no idea what it was, but something about the game really hit the spot for me. All I'm going to say is the 60's was a very good era, and my first game was played on a ZX81.

Same age & same feelings :)
-
I just realized ill be 40 by the time destiny closes.....
-
Meah.. Not many of us elderlies out there, though I did see someone was in their 60's playing the Beta!

I'm 31. I started playing video games when I was 4. That was 27 years ago. This article shows that the average gamer is 31. That means to keep the average the same, I am duty bound to play games for another 27 years, assuming the average doesn't go up (which the article says it will. [spoiler]In 27 years, they'll be on the 38th CoD regurgitation, yay![/spoiler]

Edited by TK: 8/21/2014 11:34:41 PMI'm 23, and I absolutely love this post for showing yet again what a wide range community we have here! If any of you guys are on Xbox One on launch day, give me a shout to team up. [spoiler]I've not been as excited for a game like Destiny since Halo 2 either.[/spoiler]

1 ReplyMy first video game was on the Coleco Telstar which would be around when you were born in 1976. And I just gave the Coleco Telstar unit away. I also played an ASCII based Star Trek and the original text game [b]'Adventure' [/b] on a mainframe computer. My brothers and I played Perfect General and Empire Deluxe via modem/phone. Optionally, you could save your turn on disk and mail that. I still play a version of that called, Empire Deluxe Enhanced Edition (a turn based strategy game) via e-mail with several people. I've seen people older than myself (67) post their age here.

6 RepliesBrother, I turned 40, today and I have countdown timer on my phone for when the game comes out. I've never been this excited about a game before. Never bought a limited edition, never did a midnight release or took a day off of work but I'm doing all that for Destiny.
-

1 ReplyWhat was your first game? I remember Chuckie Egg. We've come a long way.

I'm 38, much to my mothers discomfort I was born with a controller already in hand, `i've owned a vast number of systems over the years, some I sold on, some gave up the ghost and were never replaced, some are even still packed away in dark dusty corners somewhere, but some I still have and I drag them out now and then to rekindle some half forgotten memories.
