age at which you stop playing video games?

Sgt_carbonero · 07-07-2008, 02:24 AM

I'm just curious, do you all have an imaginary age at which you figure you wont be playing video games? as in, "omg I'll never be playing video games when I am (X) years old"...or do you think you'll be playing forever?

I'd like to hear:

A: your age

B: when you think it will be too 'lame' or whatever to still be playing?

For instance, I'm 38 and have been playing since video games were invented. I wonder If I'll be playing when I'm 50? is that wrong?

So, just kinda curious if at your age when you think you'll kick it or will you be playing forever?

Dont forget to post your age, that is the fun part of seeing what your answer is!

thanks,

-I voted never...

I probably won't stop gaming,until I can't,or,it just wears out on me...I'll be going for a while though

I'm 36. I got my first computer when I was 13 (approx.), and have been gaming since. So I hope I'll go on until I die!
If I get too old and slow for FPS, I'll just go back to playing RTS or some other less demanding game type.

Probably when I get a family... but then I imagine I'll still try to play a game here and there, so I voted never

What a question. If its fun, there's no reason to completely stop doing it. Sometimes more, sometimes less, depends on how much i have to do, but there is no reason to stop having fun just cause one is old imo.

My dads sister (ant?) is 47 and is gaming so I hope I will never stop.

$kelet0r · 07-07-2008, 06:26 AM

why would you stop doing something you enjoy?

darkwarrior666 · 07-07-2008, 06:31 AM

Meh, I figure by the time I'm 60, I'll have either accidentally killed myself doing something stupid, or be too senile to play games anymore.

ive read about a scientific research they made and asked a few grandma`s to test medal of honour. 90% said they enjoyed it, they said it was a kinda training for their brain to have to run around and concentrate on aiming and hiding and looking around for the enemy.
quite a challenge.
and me personal think yeah why not playing stuff in high age since it request more to do and being active than watching tv does.
