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

I'm 24 and have played console games since SNES/Sega era. Started PC gaming about a couple years after Doom 3 and played it on the 6800 Geforce AGP card. I still play consoles with friends and for single player exclusives. I feel games getting more and more difficult to entertain me though. Still, love twitch shooters and been playing CS GO a fair bit lately.
 
55 and still gaming. In fact, with the 4 sons out of the house.... Gaming MORE!!!!!

Wifey (School bus driver) like to go upstairs to read...... With her getting up at 4:45 AM, that is like a SLEEPING pill for her. I don't want to do that (Though was an AVID reader at one point), so I say "I will be up in an hour".

Walk upstairs... OUT COLD. Creep downstairs. Crack open a Sam, GAME ON... :biggrin:

Just downloaded World of Tanks. I suck at it. Getting better every day. Will I ever be "Top Gun"? Doubtful. But having a blast.
I have learned my role as a SMALL, tier one tank. Spot and distract, and assist for the kill. Yeah....... Sometimes that means I "Ninja" a kill. Not often. Tiny gun. I am told its genetic. :whiste:
So far, the community has NOT raged at me.

I've almost completely stopped. I want to try to get into them but just can't seem to anymore. That, and I don't seem to have time for them even though I don't really do much.
I'm 34.

I played a lot of FPS back in the day. But then I realized, they are all basically the same game. It's like Reality TV. Same shit, different setting. There's games that I can walk into and play a little bit and walk away. GTA, CIV. But I'd much rather sit at a board game with friends or go out and play paintball.
 
I'm 31 and I still love gaming. There's not much going around that excites me right now though. A lot of the stuff that other people seem to love so much just doesn't do it for me. I've been out of the console game for a while now. Thinking about picking up a Xbox one or Ps4 in the near future just to see where things stand there. The PS4 seems to be the obvious choice for price and performance reasons, but I really would like to play the next halo too.
 
57 and I still play RPGs on my PC, though no MMO games since I like to play as a lone gun in first-person perspective. Gaming a couple of hours almost every day. TES FTW!!!
 
27 and still play games here and there. Not as much as when I was a kid though but still play. I recently got back into Ultima Online. Playing on an actual official server for my first time.
