    How old is too old to be a gamer?

    I just started a week ago, I have a level 18 or 19 Excalibur, and a Nova Prime that I've been saving until I know what the hell I'm doing!

    How old is too old to be a gamer?

    67 year-old gamer here... (And yes, I had a PONG machine. That's how long I have been gaming.) Right now, I'm becoming totally involved with Warframe, after bring bored stupid by Destiny.

    Faux Hardcore Gamer? Am I growing out of my hobby?

    Well, here I am...The exception to every rule. A 67 year-old gamer, with 2 consoles, 6 computers in storage, a MAC on board my sailboat I live on, (yes, I live on a sailboat), just got Destiny and am having a ball with it, and have been gaming since PONG... No...I will NEVER lose interest...

    The Order: 1886 Runs at 30 FPS for a "Filmic Look"

    Boy, this forum is starting to make me sad... I'm 66 years old, have played video games since 1973, starting on an Atari 400. I watched it go from white blocks moving around on a black background. Now, here I am, watching people critique an experience they have not yet had, almost as if...

    How to get the most out of Fallout: New Vegas (and games in general)

    Well, I have played about 1000 hours of FNV probably, and here's one main piece of advice... Go to Mojave outpost, once you have EDE working, and do what you can pick up there in terms of quests, INCLUDING talking to 'Ghost', the sentry on the roof. Head to Nipton, go as far as the gate, but...

    Why You Should Still Be Pumped For Watch Dogs

    Well, I probably don't have much to add... I'm 66 years old, have been a gamer since they were invented, and... wait... Of course I have something to add... 1. I am interested in this game. 2. Andrea went to the trouble of playing then informing me of her OPINION (See dictionary for...

    Fallout 3: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying & Love RPGs

    Well, here we go again... ;-) I was born in 1947, watched the birth of video games, (Berzerk, anyone?), and I've watched this debate over and over again. Tiresome... You know, I have played one FO3 play through for more than 200 hours, and in fact, just bought a new copy, the GOTY edition...

    Games With TOO Much Content?

    Well, I'm an 'older than dirt' gamer, and what I do, (specifically in this case referring to Skyrim), is to make my own rules, and see what it does to the game... My last play through was 154 hours, and this time, I'm skipping all the 'Dragonborn' stuff this time. This has changed the game...

    Convince Me To Stay

    I'm almost 67, and NO WAY would I give up gaming...Anyone remember Atari 400 w/ membrane keyboard? Well, that was my gaming start. Now? My games take me to worlds that never were, and for times that will never be matched. I can walk in the shoes of giants, or inhabit the body of a rat. Zip...

    Bioshock Infinite and Bioshock

    And if you got the PS3 version, Bioshock comes with it... I'm playing it now, as I finish Infinite.

    You're all too depressing...seriously

    I live in Canada, on a sailboat which I own... I have been gaming now since 1973, and still have a blast... I can honestly say I have all I need, and life just keeps getting better... I am almost 66 years old, and still learn something new every day... My world is full... Positive enough...

    Videogames Make Old People Less Depressed

    Well, what a surprise... Sorry, but as a gamer who will turn 66 this year, I find it funny as hell that these kind of things are reported as if it were the discovery of a new carrot-based lifeform able to use Smartphones... I started gaming on an old Atari 400 membrane keyboard equipped...
