Age is NO excuse (I'm SO bad)

I just turned 56, but that’s no excuse for the way I play.. (Although I’ve been known to blame it on that occasionally). I’m SO bad.. When I go see the Speaker, there’s Uncomfortable Silence. Amanda only has sparrows with training wheels. But she did promise I could solo my Cessna 150. Rahool just gave me a new helmet, “The Dunce Cap” It’s got zero stats. And don’t get me started on my new hand cannon it’s got a GOD awful ROLL. When I went down to face Crota, Eris mourned. My ghost only says one line, “I got a bad feeling about this.” I went to the “Sky Watch” and missed every public event. I was too busy looking up. My jumping puzzles are named “Off the Edge”. I came across a Dreg in the Cosmodrome and he said, “YOU and ME 1V1!” Cayde said, “I need to get out of this tower… you need to stay.” I’ve never gotten hate mail in the crucible. Just condolence cards. .. But when I load up, join my awesome team, play with my wife or just run a patrol by myself; I feel young again and have as much fun as I did dropping quarters in PONG! :) ***********EDIT********** Thanks everyone for the empathy, sympathy, condolences and get gud scrub! I was in the tower earlier and heard something about Zavala’s Crochet Class. I was excited; he said to Try Hard and I might get accepted for spring semester. Mrs. Levante presented me with an exclusive shader, “Yellow-belly” it clashes with my Dunce Cap, tho. I asked her if she was getting a bigger box of crayons soon. I can’t repeat her answer here. (Ninja's and all). I went to pledge Dead Orbit. Mr. Jalaal said, “No Thanks.”

  • people always talk about hate mail. I wish I could be apart of it. but the worst thing I got was when I had a really bad game (like a .4 kd, when I average 1-1.2kd) and the letter just said I should stop playing crucible

  • I'm 44 and a short while ago, whilst playing Crucible, my eldest who's 15 says "No disrespect dad, but you reactions are s**t" !!! At least he's honest!

    • 49 y.o. gamerdad here. I'm right with ya! I'm still petitioning for a "play dead" emote. (.....and a "Woolrich Plaid" shader.) My Sparrow has a manual transmission. I got my first "Incontinent Raider" medal. When I visit the Speaker, he's patronizing and dismissive, like I'm just.....bothering him. Eva Levante wants me to take her mom out. When I start the Crota's End raid, the thralls run up screaming, see me and and stop, then they collectively sigh and slump-shoulder back into the darkness. One of them even lit a cigarette and started cussing as he walked away. When I go to open a loot chest, my ghost says "here, let me get that for you." In Crucible, a guy from my team was just standing there, clearly away from his controller. The other team shot him, and ignored me. My title screen boots up as Density.

              • Hahaha this made me laugh, keep up the great sense of humor. And the world would be a greater place with more guardians like yourself ;-) keep up the mediocre work!

              • 46 here - I was extremely upset when I went to the temple and found all the damn stairs! no handicapped accessible ramps?? do they not know hard it is to get my BLAM-ing Rascal up to the cryptarch??? At least Lord Salad-bar could hear me yelling and took my engrams over to her for me. And could we get Eververse Trading Co. to stock some One-a-days or Geritol please.... since winter is upon us now the bones and joints are having a real hard time getting loose. I'm not sure who found who..... me or my ghost

                • 37 here. I've been with a couple DOD clans but have settled on a clan of three, myself and my sons. We've come a long way from Commodore 64 and Colecovision.

                • 47 here still slowly progressing finally reached 368 light today. I'm not the best player by far, and although I am in a very helpful clan I probably won't get to do the new raid, due to the fact I'd probably only stress them out😂 and have no intention of doing that. What go trying to say is keep struggling on and message me if you need help on stuff you think your guardian may not be able to handle alone, and remember we can make 385 light without the raid.

                  I turn 47 on Friday and have been playing consoles since the first stand alone pong console on my little 12 inch black and white CRT television. Supposedly it had colored backgrounds but I could never tell. Glad to see that gaming stays in the blood longer than my wife keeps telling me it will. edit: my 8 and 10 year old children play video games with me but not Destiny, they like PvZ more.

                      • Good post, funny stuff. I'm "too old" for Destiny, too, and also poorly skilled for the most part, but I finally ran Wrath of the Machine last night with a few friends and it was super fun. We even finished it, eventually, and I got some great gear and got to watch some guys who really knew what they were doing and learn some stuff. There are days when I hover over the "delete" button on this game (usually during Iron Banner) but experiences like the one I had last night keep me logging in. Good luck out there.
