I'm 31 in three weeks....

fastwunz · 15 Feb 2013 at 21:36

I feel like I'm 20. But, am I too old for all this? Surely not?

d_brennen · 15 Feb 2013 at 21:40

I'm sure some of our senior members will be along to tell you they remember when the forums were all grass and no Muslims stole all the benefits

31 is hardly old, Playstation generation is it not?

You're never too old for anything unless you can't physically or mentally do it anymore.

I am 34, "Spectrum generation".

Still going.

We are the first generation who grew up with games as a choice in our home.

Ha! Thanks for the reassurance.

Oh dear.

It's all down hill from there I'm afraid. Best to leave the 'gaming' to those of us who are not old farts.

I know this has been mentioned before, but it is not going to be that long before OAP clans start appearing and "OAP Only" servers are common place.

Im 31 in 5 weeks but doesnt mean i should post a non gaming thread in pc games section.

But yeah, getting too old. Might have to start thinking about getting rid of pc and actually going outside for once.

Apparently its suppose to be quite cool outside, tho theres something called "real people" out there.

The graphics are good but the gameplay sucks.

CANNOT WAIT

I used to be a reg on a CSS server which was mainly 40+, one 60 odd year old Yorkshireman iirc. I'd hop on to make up the numbers. They've moved on to CS:GO and I'm stuck in my CSS ways at 29

No idea about the graphics, I need glasses

It's called DOF, all the latest blockbuster AAA titles striving for photorealism are (over)using it

Only got into PC gaming about 5 or 6 years ago. Had a PS1 before that, as it was handy whilst travelling around. Tried an Xbox 360 for a while but soon sold that on. Now it is just me and the PC.
I`m 54 by the way.

I am banking on my kids being able to fund their "Pops" gaming habit when I am drawing my pension.

Would hate to have to decide between heating the house or buying that new game

Just don't have any fans in your PC, it'll soon heat up

31 here also, 32 in a few months. I'll be gaming until they prise my mouse out of my cold dead hand

Commodore 64 generation, although recently found out what my very first gaming console was, a Philips Videopac 7000. Those were the days

Oh and one of my favorite quotes:

"Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional"
