I'm 73 - was top scorer in an Iron Banner match!
Yes, I'm really 73 in a couple of weeks and Destiny is the first video game I ever played. I was a 2014 Christmas nube and have played almost every day since late January of 2015. I'm not very good because of my reflexes and eyesight. I also have periferal neuropathy, a nerve condition that causes your hands and feet to go numb. I played alone for 8 months because I had zero skills and didn't want to be the guy that people didn't want on their fire team; bad KTD ratio. Eventually I got better ( thanks to gameguy1973) and recently I started going to Iron Banner but I was never able to complete the bounty requiring you to get the highest score - until tonight. So don't get discouraged if things don't go your way. If an old fart like me can do this you good players can do anything.
Edit: Just wanted to take a minute and thank you guardians for all the nice comments, support, friend requests and invitations to clans. I'll try to respond where appropriate. To you few doubters I'll try to post something on YouTube to prove my age. Got to get the camera back from my daughter.
Edit: Didn't need the camera, I used my iPad to record and post to YouTube. We old dogs can learn new tricks.

Edited by ghostx78x: 7/2/2016 1:03:18 AMMan, I'm 38 and felt good for getting top scorer- but you are amazing! If you ever want to go to the light house I'm friends with a certain streamer that really enjoys helping players win at Trials of Osiris for the first time. He is really patient and helps people to understand the strategy while he plays. Twitch.tv/sirmaestro7

1 ReplyYou are an inspiration! I am 50 myself, and have been gaming for 39 years (I'm part of the very first generation of gamers, starting with receiving an Atari 2600 when it was brand new and I was 11). I remember when the video arcade was a thing you saved your money for, I remember when Thresh became the first pro gamer, I remember when the "Xbox" seemed like an experiment. And yet, here I still am. And, I'm not alone! Most of our clan members are in their 30s and 40s, but our oldest is 70. We are out there!
