Why is that I now have far more games and machines than when I was younger, yet so much less time to play them?

 

[Devlish]

Well, had a little time so the results so far (roughly I should add, didnt have that much time)!

22 members are 10-19 which = 11%
74 members are 20-29 which = 38%
60 members are 30-39 which = 31%
28 members are 40-49 which = 15%
9 members are 50+ which = 5%

So interestingly, that about half of us under 30 and half of us over 30. Interesting eh? As a 30+, suppose its that we have the spending power these days to satisfy our hobby.

 

[Frenzy]

Just imagine, in the not too distant future there will be far more 30+ gamers. I wonder if the way we play online will change as a result. I bet future games will adapt to this too.

Currently 24

Deffinately have been loving being able to afford the consols/PC components, games etc I like having gained a monthly wage... However it's true it comes at the cost of less time to enjoy them :S

I've found that with this I've also started getting more games that are more short term fun and less 'Epic' length story driven games (although I like them more).

I intend to still be able to pwn nablets when I'm old and demented. If the day comes when I no longer can, I'll know I'm "past it" and might as well just top myself there and then

Loved gaming since the ZX81 and don't see my self stopping any time soon. My PC gets priority over any other hobbies as I'd be bored without it. From the internet (how did we know anything without it!) to the BF series its fair to say I'm hooked.

[Emphacy]

19 and although I am a PC gamer, I cant say I play games a lot, I have too much other stuff to do, mainly my own work projects.

I doubt I'll ever stop gaming though, I look forward to the day I hit 65, retire and play Battlefield 18 in a holographic chamber

Yeah the 30 seconds after a map finishes on cod the legend "Time for a brew" will be at the top of the screen.

by the time our reaction slow down, we'll be immersed in avatar/matrix style gaming and will just swap into the game ala red dwarf and live forever. No probs.
