Hello from 'probably too old to be playing video games' guy

J35T3R · 12 Feb 2019 at 20:13

Xbox One X with too many games (4TB of space filled up)

Original Xbox with a huge back catalogue

Just got a Wii U ( had a hankering for ages) and never played a Zelda game

And just got a PS4 to play the PS Exclusives....

Gave up on PC gaming

Married

2 kids

And pushing 40, should I be playing videos games and speaking to my internet friends about said games??

Hi...

You should.

Why wouldn't you be? Games make more than films and is a form of entertainment. I don't get the stigma that some attach to it

Oh and hi

Pushing 40 LOL.
Cant even remember 40.

Both my kids play too, it's great watching them enjoy something like Bomberman on the SNES which I played as a kid. Or even Sonic or the likes.

Even having an online game of Star Wars Battlefield with a 9 year old telling me I suck after having a really bad game.

All good.

Absolutely ! ! I'm "slightly" over 40 and I'm still playing

I game on my laptop now, while catching up on recorded TV. I kid myself that I'm saving time that way and don't have to feel guilty about sitting what's left of my life away.

I said sitting.

I still game after 40 but prefer slower paced games like world of warcraft, Tried BF1 and Call of Duty but was dead before I even see anyone lol.

Yeah, I'm the same. I tend to stick to slower pace stuff that you can just jump in and out of for a hour to unwind. Bottom line is I'm to old and slow for FPS. Plus my heart wont stand it, I'm powered by a pacemaker nowadays. I am Borg, fast paced is futile..

Glad its not just me

I'm ace at Star Wars BF1 but any time I try and jump to a slightly different format or shooter I'm terrible. Eyes and brain just can't keep up.
