Massiveterra Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Ever since I put the Xbox in the bedroom, I've had more access to play games than I did a few months ago. Unfortunately, that means less time playing the PS3, but since the girlfriend and the roommate watch netflix and blu rays on the ps3, I guess it's a win-win.

NikkiRox Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I'm 23, my partner is 23, we play games a fair bit. Its usually on a off. We get in the habit of playing games, then after we finish the game we watch movies or tv series for a bit, then when another game comes around we get back into gaming. its great, been together for 5 years, and I can see many years to come :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUBBYJR2005 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 so being in your 30s or older is too old for video games right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjoswald Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 My GF works late, so I usually play then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMELTN Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Male: 34 yrs old. Married with 2 kids and I play games all the time. Used to be semi-pro and Operations Manager for "the online competitive league" Still play games a TON, but not near what I used too. My wife puts up with it though, and she doesn't mind "most" of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUBBYJR2005 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 so no one wants to say if being in your 30 is too old to play video games or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charisma Veteran Posted July 18, 2010 Veteran Share Posted July 18, 2010 so no one wants to say if being in your 30 is too old to play video games or not I don't think it's too old. Everybody needs a source of relaxation, distraction, something fun, challenging, and in some cases violent to get out frustration or a little mindless to help one chill out. Personally, I hope I always have time for them, no matter how old I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Null Zen Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 so no one wants to say if being in your 30 is too old to play video games or not Anyone who says that is full of it. I'm 36, missus is 32, kids are 12-10-3, and all of us have game systems. My kids have a PC, DS's, Gamecube and PS2, the missus has her laptop, I have the desktop and PSP, and me and the missus have the PS3 in our bedroom. Even the 3 year old has his Leapster system, and plays some of the Gamecube games. If you go out of your way to find the right games, gaming can be something that brings the family together rather than something to try and find time away from the family for. We have our times we play party games as a family, and times we all go our separate ways on systems. It really does help to have enough systems to go around though.

Rudy Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I used to play a lot but now with work and trying to make games in my spare time I barely have time to actually play games :( I still love playing them but I like long games that you need to invest lots of time in them (jap RPGs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stup0t Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I am 40 and my GF/Soon to be wife is 35 she has no interest in gaming at all. But I have my pc down stairs so we can still chat and what not. That is probably the biggest tip I can give if you have room put your gaming rig in the main living room then at least you can still remain social with your spouse.

Jason S. Global Moderator Posted July 21, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2010 im 27 and live w/ my girlfriend. between her, work, other hobbies, chores, etc... i dont have much time for gaming anymore. during our free time (like week nights after work and dinner,) we usually watch tv or a movie. other nights i'll simply tell her that i want to play a game. she'll go off and do whatever. sometimes though, i'll get the rare chance to have an entire saturday or sunday night to have nothing but video games. it's awesome, but rarely happens.

neoadorable Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hey CUBBY, YOU'RE NOT TOO OLD FOR GAMES. ok? there's no such thing. they will put me in the ground with a controller in my cold dead hand. happy now? i've been gaming since 1979 so you can count on me being in the second half of my 30's, the first game played was Combat i believe, and the second it loaded, the second i played it with my sister i think, there was a voice in my head that i didn't even recognize back then that said "this is home, son." been gaming ever since. tried the family route, was an abject failure at it. now the only hurdle is full time work!

Dotdot Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Im 26 and work 9-5, 5 days a week including weekends. been with my lady 3yrs now and I play most nights 7-8pm onwards. Tho now days mix it up with more things such as reading, watchin telly or working on my car. My ladys an internet freak tho, well more Facebook. But she normally occupys herself with that or watchin telly with me. Days off we either agree on a day in or a day out but I make sure I spend them with her :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Smith Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Never too old for gaming... I just can't stay up playing an entire night like I used to when I was a kid. (Ok, when I was a kid, my choices were permanent eye damage playing Infocom games all night, or deformed claws for hands because of a 2600's joystick, but still..) Throw in the fact that I do work from home, have a kid to take care of, plus the upkeep of the house, my gaming time is nowhere near what it used to be... but I can still game with the best of them.

theclueless Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 before i would squeeze some game playing time whenever my gf is asleep or when she is out; now after we broke up i havent touch any game for a while (there are more to life than playing game... like drinking alone...)

Soulsiphon Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 so no one wants to say if being in your 30 is too old to play video games or not Say what? lol Dude, I'm 45 and I game like...well like I always have. too old? People my age grew up on the first gen consoles and I don't mean the original Nintendo ;) Later as my love for computer based gaming grew as opposed to console gaming, I moved onto a Commodore 64 and probably had 10 of those over the years and would game on them always. Later, the Sega Genesis, and currently up to PS3, a 360, AND a Wii :D Now I mix it up with a fair bit of smackdown on my newish Alienware M11x - docked of course with my G15/G5 and 22" wide Samsung. Current favs? ME2, AC2, EQ2, WoW (perenolde), little SWG now and then (sniff miss muh ol' swg)...on and on When you 'kids' get 'old' like me and are still gaming and going to rock concerts...you'll see age really has nothing to do with any of this. :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
