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

Your not there yet but when you get in your 50s and what not would you rather lay in bed allll day erryday and watch court and news channels or dedicate your retirement life on breath taking video games.

I've got a few years on you (sinks into depression). Ah KOTOR now that was a game.

GT: Da Crawdad Man. I am 27 in the military will be playing with some really close friends of mine. If you would like to play add me sometime we could always use some new faces. I am in Hawaii but took a week off of work so the time difference should not be an issue. Also if anyone else is interested just add me. Me and all my friends who I play with are very competitive gamers, but at the same time are mature adults who do not deal well with annoying kids.

I'm 39, I have a game room "man cave", I pkay with my 18 y/o son and all his friends and my 11 y/o son... we have had the best of times and kept us close. Game on and enjoy the bonds it creates, where else could you spend $60 and have a lifetime of memories and all the friends you make.

I just turned 58 and still game with my son who is 30. We have been gaming together since he was 5. We both have Destiny pre-ordered and are ready to roll Sept. 9th. Gaming has always kept us connected and close, even in our busy lives of work and family. I wouldn't trade my gaming time with him for anything.

You've almost got ten years on me (29 on the 17th) but I know what you mean. The first game I bought was NHLPA Hockey 93 on The MegaDrive! My still working 1st game is older than most of the people in the forums :-) XBOX ONE GT= DOUBLE VODKA

I was actually saying this exact same thing the other day. Haven't been this excited since Halo 2 or KOTOR. Good luck on the 9th. I will be on Playstation.

I had an Atari 7800!

You got old 18 years ago. On a serious note, I agree with out in the KOTOR thing even though I'm 18. I never played Halo 2, but KOTOR was THE game for me to play when I was younger.

You don't stop playing video games because you get old. You get old because you stop playing video games.

My first game was Rogue Trooper on the Spectrum lol I'm 30 and feel so old the day I started complaining about kids being too young for certain games not thinking when I was a kid there was no such thing as age ratings

Edited by DaVIoN505: 9/4/2014 3:43:45 PMUnfortunately we can't stay young forever... I started my gaming days back on the Commodore 64 with Zaxxon and Pac-Man. In my late 30's and still play games. XBL: davion505

I'm 44 and have been playing games since Pong in the 1970s. I'm pretty psyched about Destiny, but would be more psyched to hear about a release date for Fallout 4!
