Still gaming at 84!

Well my father is 59 this year who unfortunately is disabled, and his friend on steam is 70 ish and they both play borderlands 2 daily for 5 hours and they have a awesome amount of hours on on borderlands 1, and the 2 left for dead games.

To be honest they are very active gamers and both rather good. My father have always games like far cry, crysis, most of the top FPS shooters and have played them to completion. My father have been a gamer for the best part of 30 years, since I got into games when I was 5 years old.

Im planning on gaming into my 80's, then moaning about how back in the day when we had <insert whatever>, we had to wait for games to load and they were not in 4D, LMAO
 
Imagine in 60 years time when some of us are 80 and still gaming. And turning around to your grandson saying "we didnt have all this photo realistic gaming we actually could tell we were playing a game":p
 
I live in a 3 bed semi (purchased 3 years ago, and have just turned 26 with ~35% left on the mortgage), and will have paid it off by 30. I guess I must overestimate the average home owner.

Kreeeee in "I've done something objectively excellent but really it's just average so if you don't match my standard your probably rubbish" shocker :p
 
The average annual earnings of full-time workers in the UK rose by 1.4% to £26,500 in the year to April 2012.

that only takes into account full-time workers, not those who do not have jobs, or can only get part time or contract work. therefore the average salary is a lot lower, i would guess at £15K a year.

Point made!

Do I do this a lot?

Anyway, I'm hoping that by the time I need to live in a retirement home that they're full of gamers! It would be great to be able to spend my free time playing against others to keep my mind active.
