I liked NES and Mario as a kid. I played Triple Play baseball and Madden up until about high school. I never got into any games after that really. Kinda glad, as I just don't see the point or understand it.

But then again, people probably think I'm nuts for paying $50-60 to chase the little white ball around on a Saturday morning so to each their own.

All hobbies should be discontinued upon graduation of high school. Doing an activity you enjoy is something for kids.

How many hours per day do you spend playing video games?

I got into video games as an adolescent. By the time I graduated college and started looking for work I felt weird during the rare times I sat down to play Madden or whatever. It just felt like something I shouldn't be doing. Now I play like five times a year at most.

However I'm noticing people even older than me playing games on a regular basis and thinking nothing of it. Guys in their 40s. And it got me wondering about if playing video games as an older 40+ dude is the new bowling or whatever - something guys do just to pass time on an off day or even as a skill they want to develop and hone. Basically, are we past the point where videos games are considered something kids do?


I'm soon to be 56 and I play video games nearly every day!

I stopped around age 15 or 16. Most of the guys that I know that are older tend to gamble on them. That is mostly why they continue to play it seems.

Not much. I prefer to spend 4-6 hours a day on this message board.

We only really play with our kid so it varies from a few hours a week when there are other things to do to a lot of time when we are in the middle of Bear Weather season.

i slowly stopped to the point where all i was playing was Madden or NBA Live, but i haven't played either in years now. I'd kinda like to get an old Madden disc for fun, like Madden 98 or something. One where he and Summeralll are still doing the commentary

Yeah I was about to say I've seen a few similar consoles at best buy for under 600. Maybe Bagels has in mind something more premium. Or maybe he's just part of the 1 percent.

im not a gamer at all these days, outside of trying to play madden with my kid when he was into it 5 or 6 years ago. But back when I got my first printing job back in the late 80's i was on a 5-man press crew, and 3 or 4 of us were really into EA's Lakers vs. Celtics NBA game. I was 19 or so, and a couple of the guys were in their early-mid 20's, and once or twice a week we would get off at work at midnight and we would grab some beer and play that fucking game until 3 or 4 in the morning, drinking and talking shit and thinking that was the greatest NBA game ever. That job was crappy, but I did it for a couple years working with these guys and those times playing that game were fantastic, great memories. After I moved on I played some more games here and there but the Sega Genesis years playing Lakers v Celtics were pretty much the end of the road for me. I did get into Quake on the PC a little bit a few years later I remember but that was a pretty quick phase.

You're never too old. I still on occasion jump into GTA Online, steal a Lazer, and grief the entire lobby.

Free tip here on how to do it 1: without wanted level and 2: not get bad sport penalties.

Start a supply mission for an MC Business and then just go to the military base, you can walk right in or fly in via helo and take the jet without issue and kill for 30 straight minutes until the mission ends without penalties or bad sport.

I look for people doing sell missions for maximum grief caused :lol: :lol: :lol:
