When I'm Sixty-Four... would I still be a gamer?

[Nova5]

Meh, so long as I'm alive, I'll be playing games to some degree. Probably not as much as I do now, but screw it.

 

[Thaius]

As long as good stories are still being told through games, I'll be playing until my dying day.

Or when I go blind. That would probably do it too.

 

[crudus]

Maybe, maybe not. It really depends on how good games are, and how we play them. I personally don't like the Wii mostly for it's controller so if games adapt those controllers into their evolution then I'll probably abandon consoles. I'm not sure if I will be able to give up RTSes though. Hell by then AoE will be on an emulator.

Unless they've got virtual reality going on, I probably will give up gaming eventually.

Hell, maybe in a few years.

Everyone is free to leave the cult this life as they please. All you have to so is walk through the minefield front door.

 

[geddydisciple]

As much as I hate to admit it probably depends on whether my wife lets me play or not. If i have my way though i will game till i drop.

 

[Beartrucci]

NO ONE CAN PLAY GAMES WHEN THEY ARE 64, BECAUSE WE WILL ALL DIE IN 2012, IT'S THE TRUTH YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME!!

I can't see myself playing games when I am 64, it's just a bit hard to imagine.

Luckily, I am immune to explosions.
And brainwashing.

And Jedis.

Too bad you aren't immune to lightsabers and shrapnel. You would be set to leave any cult you want.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Yeah, I'll still be gaming however I wonder if I could cope with any new console releases and such. Might just stick to the PS3, if they still exist. Which I doubt they would.

 

[MrTub]

Hmm I kinda doubt that my xbox 360 will last untill I become ~60 (about 43yrs)

 

[Kud]

i'll probably stop being such a hardcore gamer when i get to like 25, but then i'll start playing more again when i hit retirement.

 

[Aesir23]

Unless I get arthritis in my hands, I think I'll still be playing video games.

 

[Aesir23]

Kinda hoping I'll be dead by 64. I view it as a preferable alternative to my body failing me.

Seriously, I'm terrified of getting old for that reason.

Really? I'm more terrified of my mind failing me. Alzheimer's, Senile Dementia, etc

 

[Bassman_2]

Would not virtual reality games require you to get up? You'd have to be some kind of fit to play effectively.

 

[MiserableOldGit]

I've thought about this - all those 'tap the A button madly' minigame bits are going to fuck us up good and proper unless you can get your mits on a vintage turbo pad.

 

[The Riff]

Wouldn't think so, xbox would probably have red ringed and i would probably be too afraid to get too high blood pressure and die.

 

[Centarius38]

i dont think i would ever stop gaming once i start working full time as a chef it might slow down but i will always play until the day i die

 

[Danpascooch]

You'll probably die of a massive visual stimulation buildup seizure by then, seeing as your a gamer and all.

But if you make it to that age, why not? I am going to be buried with my xbox.
