How many of you are middle aged men still playing games?

Quit playing games with my hearttttttttttt, with my hearttttttttttt with my heartttttttttttttttttt....!
 
I'm 30. I pretty much stopped playing games a few years in to PS3. I got it fairly soon after release date but I have about 2-3 games. I mainly used it for blu rays and then to Lovefilm now Amazon Prime.

Doom 2 and Quake are still the best multiplayer games.

I noticed UT3 on Steam. Are the any active servers for it? I used to love me some low-grav insta-gib CTF.

As for the OP's question, I neither confirm nor deny, and that is mostly to avoid encouraging OP.
 
im 32 and i still game. not as much as i did in years past, but i have a ps4 and x1 and pretty much get all consoles when they first come out (other than wii-u cause its LOL). but i don't find myself playing the games i used to. at this point i'd almost consider myself a niche gamer in a sense. the only games that i play repeatedly are fighting games.

i will play racers and games like tomb raider or uncharted, but i play them once then never again. i love the single player stories.

but right now, all i play is killer instinct and that is all i've played since xbox1 came out. prior to that it was street fighter 4 for the past few years, with other games scattered in between. i'm pretty much over FPS games though and rarely play them, other than maybe the single player aspect of them.

i do also love arcade racers but it's been a long time since a good one came out that kept me engaged. oh, and hot shots golf 5 on ps3 was my secret little piece of crack that i was addicted to as well. i hope ps4 gets a new one.

i only play like 1-3 times a week though, usually for an hour or 2. it will either just be on a weeknight or weekend when my wife is asleep. now that it's warmer weather my time will probably go down a bit though. but when it's a single player game, i'll usually beat it in 3-4 days playing for 3 hours or so a day, just because i get sucked into them.

I haven't looked lately. I guess I should now that I finally have DSL. Low grav frags in an elevator shaft would crack me up everytime.

You are very old and should appreciate games like command & conquer.

i have a degree in digital animation production and game design theory, where i focused on character development and special effects. i like flashy, complicated visual games more than the old school stuff. youngster. dont make me get my cane.
 
not sure why you guys would hide your age. Embrace it and love the games no matter what decade.
 
fuck

looks like old age for my fucking ass

Nonetheless, by taking the data that do exist (and applying what appears to be a lot of speculation, as far as I can tell), scholars have drawn conclusions about the demographics of the Norse population. The life expectancy at birth was about 20 years. Half of those who survived birth lived only to their seventh year. Children under the age of 15 made up nearly half of the population. Of those that reached the age of 20, about half reached the age of 50. Perhaps 15 percent of the total population was 50 years or older. And only 1 to 3 percent of population was over 60 years old. The population distribution by age is shown in the plot below on the right (blue bars), clearly showing the skew towards the young. For comparison, the distribution for modern day Iceland is shown on the left (red bars).
