Interesting topic a friend brought up last night. Being in my late 20's I'm starting to see others in my social circle begin to settle down and start families. Now I'm no where near that stage yet but its just one of those facts of life.
I grew up gaming on pretty much anything I could get my hands on, and as I got older I never really stopped. To me, it's a very important hobby for several reasons - A couple include that it's very social, every time I game I'm normally on our TeamSpeak server with friends I've known/gamed with for many years, including my brother. Also, I find gaming quite stress relieving. After a long day at work I look forward to gaming, it's how I unwind.
I honestly hope I don't grow out of it. Considering how accessible it is now it probably will make it easier. Back when I was a kid consoles of that time didn't really have online multiplayer and PC gaming was in its infancy.
It still frustrates me how some people, particularly woman attach such a stigma to gaming and how it's pointless and a waste of time.
Anyway, what do you think?
