Another 30 year old. Married with a three-month old daughter.



I have to say, my wife has been giving me a lot of crap about playing Dragon Age the last few weeks. I end up pausing the game and going AFK for hours because I have some errand or another to do. She keeps telling me "our child won't be a baby forever, but the game is always going to be there" She doesn't seem to understand how much it helps me relax to do it for a few hours after a long day at work.



The funny thing is my wife used to be a PnP D&D player, something I personally never did. Heh.

You can never be too old to play games. I'm 26 (ok - i'm 2 years younger). Can one really put a age limit on recriational activities? Hell, I'd probably still climb trees in the back yard if I still found it entertaining.

Really,  too old? To hell with that - I'm a Gamer - Always was - always will be.

I just turned 24, as far as I'm concerned Built, we come from a different generation. We grew up with Nintendos and Genesis being more than just something only a few people had to being something just about universal.Those who say you're too old to be playing games fall into categories:

1) They never played or never were serious gamers
2)They're older than you

In the first category, what can you do? In the second its hypocritical at times. My mother likes the Nintendo Renegade(I will forever refuse to call it the Wii)

You, sir, are either terribly misinformed, were dropped on your head too many times as a child, or are just naturally simple.  I am 31, and I am racking my brain trying to remember any of my friends FROM FIRST GRADE who didn't own a Nintendo or Sega.  There weren't any.  The OP is three years younger than I, so I'm sure video games were effectively just as ubiquitous in his childhood as they were in yours.  

We just didn't get to play them as much because we had to help our moms churn butter...

28 and still going strong here

41 here. Been playing 'electronic' games since I first saw an Atari console as a kid whilst visiting cousins! I've not been too impressed with the direction that games have taken the last couple of years, they seem to me to be taking less chances and just catering to mass market. Delighted by Dragon Age though, even with the flaws that I feel it has.

I'm 18 years old girl with a 30 years old boyfriend. Thankfully he's a gamer too

[Laura Jean]

I'm 42 and have been role playing since I was 13. I also had an Atari 2800 back then.

[Jassper]

That depends,

if I go with the "Be everything except what you are" attitude and say "40 is the new "30" I'm 32, but if "30" is the new "20", then I'm 22.

If I go with the Dr. Oz method I am 50.

If I listen to Opra I am dead

If I listen to my children I am "Older than dirt"

If I go by "You are as old as you feel" bs, I am 35

If I guage my age by wisdom, experience, and common sense I'm 150

As with many of you, my gaming days started with Commodore Vic 20, C64, Atari's and Radio Shack TSR's. My first RPG, however, was Baldur's Gate so I was late to the game on that front.

Coming from another 28 year old with a a now 9 month old child, this game, while addictive, can be paused at any situation and therefore is PERFECT for those turbulent times of uncertainty. This is why a lack of multiplayer is both a blessing and a curse in this game.

Sub note: don't your wives have dumb hobbies? Mine does and therefore accepts me for my goofy gaming goodness. Also, she finds the accents hilarious.

SNAP!

LOL spooky, I am 28, married and we are expecting our first child. My wife Rolled her eyes when I said DAO had been delivered. She has "accepted" this game because I've been busting my hump in decorating/ doing up the house for the Baby.

She doesn't say I am too old (that much) but says they are a waste of time (which is rich because I know when the next Half -life comes out she will be on it like a whippet).

Yes this game is for us my man, it's our last gasp before our world changes.

Seriously it's down to balance with RL imho - I can't do 8 hours in front of a computer any more makes my head hurt, besides it's good to keep the brownie points up.

Salute and congrats on your Child!

(ours is a boy and I've alredy been told of for plotting to corrupt him into the Video gaming world "at least wait until he can focus!"

My wife doesn't play computer games, but she's fine with my obsession. I don't really watch much tv, so this is how I entertain myself.

[Maube]

I will be 29 in a couple of weeks... my husband who also plays is 33.  We have two kids under 3 =p biggest argument we have is who gets to play what night

Personally, the video games are cheaper then going out to a movie or dinner... and less stressful

[Black Kracken]

Good man!

40 here.  Also have great memories of playing on the Commodore PET, VIC20, and C64.  TRS80 too, of course.

Cut my teeth on Scott Adams adventure games and never looked back.  Will play CRPGS for as long as they care to make good ones.

41 years old here. Been playing computer games since I was 12 (Commodore VIC-20, ftw!) I am married and have a beautiful 4 year-old daughter that loves computer games just as much as I do. Wizard 101 is her favorite game, at the moment. I firmly believe that you're never too old for games.
