I've been playing video games since my parents got us pong back in the 70's. Sometimes I think I'm getting too old for it, but that really doesn't stop me. I play PC games and PS2 games almost everyday.

No such thing as too old for videogames. It is just a heck of a lot easier to get away with if you are single. For some reason the wimminfolk just don't like when we play games. :confused:

Everyone who grew up playing games still plays them regulary methinks, that age group is now between 30-40 so hell no your not too old, we were brought up playing games & that's where we find our entertainment.

Everyone wastes their time doing something. It is mostly TV so I don't see how games can be any less productive.

One can never be too old to play video games, watch cartoons, play with toys, etc.

It'll be funny to see the Under-45 population as senior citizens. There will be gaming clans and get-togethers all over this great land of ours. Senior citizen homes will be filled with gaming tournaments and Friday night frag fests. LOL! :D

It'll be our version of the Pachinko parlors of Asia with all the old timers!

I think somehow I always feared getting "too old" for playing video games, so it makes me really happy to see people my age (or more) still play.
I have friends my age that play as well, but I was wondering if that's just us, or it's "normal"...
Anyway, thanks for the (positive) feedback.
