Without this emulator I would be useless for my team mates. There I have admitted it, I am a superior Mouse/Keyboard player but crippled by a PS3 game controller. I can’t be alone as they are now making it for X-Box player as well.
Ryde...

Anyway, I've got a mic. I'm on the west coast US. XBox Live. Usually on around 8:30 - 9:00ish. Play mostly Bronze and just started Silver and realized I should have been playing Silver a long time ago. I have good nights and bad nights. So go easy on the Sr. Citizen.

52 yo but I started playing late. My son left his Mass Effect 1 game and his Xbox when he left for college. Got my own now. I play mostly shooters but ME was my first, and I'm hopelessly addicted. Oh, and stay the hell off my lawn! (Just wanted to say that heh, heh)
There needs to be more old people like you. Be my parent.

Ah, Sierra. I was addicted to their games. Broke my heart when they stopped. So now I have a BroShep called Roger as a tribute to Wilco.
I have King's Quest, Police Quest, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, etc installed on my computers. Also, do you remember a game named Starflight? It's an old EA game very similar to Mass Effect.
I most certainly do, it was great! I still have all the Sierra and Ultima 1-8 discs, and ran them with Mo'Slow or Turbo to be able to play them, but gave up a few years back as I was spending more time on forums trying to fix performance crashes than playing. Even started learning MS-DOS to keep playing them...

I just play for fun when I can find time to play.Also for that reason I only play bronze or a bit of silver once and a while.

Trust me, you'll blink your eyes and suddently you'll be old wondering what happened to your youth. And then you'll realize that you spent too much time on BSN....LazyDakota wrote...
Wow, you guys are old. Better not waste time on a game and go pick some nice cemetery.

This is not old - I'm 57 and that's not old either. You'll come to understand that.....

Aaaah kids, so witty - just somthing to bear in mind: your parents may well have been teenagers in the 60s / 70s, they may have drunk a lot of booze, smoked a lot of weed and maybe done acid, gone to great rock concerts and shagged like bunnies, raced around on motorbikes or scooters (even while drunk) and got away with it somehow...
And despite all that they've grown up to develop everything you take foregranted from modern computing and the Internet to mobile phones and tablets; run businesses and the media, made music, movies and computer games...
(as for your grandparents, or perhaps even great-grandparents, if they fought in WWII - have you ever wondered if you've got any relations you don't know about in Italy, the UK, France or Germany?)
Now think about your life; you're spending your youth posting on a web forum ... who's really wasting their time?

And for those of you who think some of us are old, just remember...it's our generation that made gaming what it is today
We are the ones who had those ancient systems in the late 70s and early 80s(thanks mom and dad!). By the late 80s and early 90s, we had enough of our own chore $$ saved to buy our own consoles. Hence why the average gamer is what? 35 or so? Those of us who grew up with them when they hit the market stuck with it and look what it has become.

Me and my buddies were sitting around the other day and the question game up if we would ever out-grow video games.
The consensus was no, even though we are all above age 30, we grew up on them, and like you said, all helped to usher in a new era with helping the industry explode.
I think for our generation it's almost like sports, your grew up on them and they (video games) will always be a part of us.

Thank you, older and more mature players, for all the times I play randoms and don't end up with whiny kids. Thank you for providing useful info, some insight and a good laugh when you use a mic, instead of whining and insulting because I'm better/worse than you. Thank you for playing the game trying to relax and enjoying it, instead of racing for the top of the scoreboard.
Thank you for making random matches worth playing when my friends aren't available.
