You're over 30 years old...do you still play video games?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 87/100. jhartana (1038) 5 years ago

As the title suggests, do you still play video games even though you're over 30 years old? If so, how often do you play? Are you married and still play video games? Does your partner restrict you from playing games? Do you play games with your children?

I'm married but don't have children yet, occassionally I still play PS2 games although my wife said I was childish. I said back to her this is only for my leisure time. I was a games freak but not anymore since I am working full time. I hardly find a time for playing PS2 but I guess I would play PS2 when my wife's not home. Come to think of it, I saw many people particularly in Japan still play games...even they're in 40s. Well come on, why can't I play for short period?

So what's your situation here? :)

i am 33 years old and female and i love video games lol! though i only have a GameboySP and PSX...sad but true, however if i COULD afford a newer system you bet i would be out the door for it in a second!

i dont play everyday but for a couple of hours 2 or 3 days a week at least. and yes i play by myself and with my 12yrd old.

personally i dont think you can ever be too old for video games. are they still fun? then you arent too old. when they are no longer fun, THEN you're too old lol!

you should tell your wife..its the occasional video game or a trip to the local stripclub!!! lmao! i bet video games will look a LOT more appealing to her afterwards...course saying that might also cause a huge fight.... so dont say that!


myLot reputation of 87/100. jhartana (1038)  5 years ago

Hahaha, me and my wife not into fight for the games but it's just that she don't feel right seeing her 31 year old hubby playing games. Hey it's certainly much better than for her letting me to go seeing striptease or even clubbing. I think I might have to change video game console...might get Nintendo Wii so I can redefine her the meaning of having PURE FUN at home hehehe. She's 29 and sometimes I can still see her playing computer game Puzzle Bubble, but hey come on why can't I play? She watched many TV shows and that's the only TV I got...she don't wanna miss watching that So You Think You Can Dance TV programme...well I have to ditch her watching it someday :D

LOL

My husband has always told me that he sees Pogo as a way for me to relax and wind down, even though I may curse at the game every now and then.

He has also himself said that considering I'm a stay at home mom, and don't have a lot of other 'addictions' or things I enjoy doing, and don't go out much that he doesn't see a lot wrong with my spending money and time on Pogo....

Mooch

There is no age limit when it comes to playing video games. Even my dad who is already 60, i caught him playing with my sons nintendo..no wonder my son was crying as he runs to me and said his pop dont want to give his nintendo and i said to him let him play for a while coz in their times they dont et to play with a gadget like that. SO you have to share what you have coz you are lucky.


myLot reputation of 87/100. jhartana (1038)  5 years ago

Yeah of course once I have kids then I'll definitely share :)

oh yeh sure,im 34 & i play the ps3 whenever possible,im so amazed at being able to play against people from other countries & talk to them,if you get a ps3 we could play against each lol. As for your wife well have you tried askin her if she wants a game ? Or better still buy her a nintento wii now that will get addicted,same as you hehe ((smile))


myLot reputation of 87/100. jhartana (1038)  5 years ago

I'm still considering whether I will get the Wii or PS3 but PS3 is a better machine (I got PS1, PS2 before) while Wii offers new way of gaming experiences...it's a hard decision. PS3 more expensive so lets see how it goes.


myLot reputation of 89/100. pammid (1648)  5 years ago

looks like you will have to get both then lol

Yeah, that's right. Up to now i'm already on my 40s, yet i still play video games. I think the more i grow older, the more i become excited playing games.


myLot reputation of 87/100. jhartana (1038)  5 years ago

Never grow too old to play games, in fact it's for all ages, not just for kids :)

well I'm not 30 yet, close maybe but not yet, and not married either, I still love video games, and I don't think I could stop :D

so if I'm married the best possibility is I still playing video games, well maybe not as often as I am now..

but hey, when you're married you have others to take care of right, :D cheers

I love my wife more than playing video games. To my surprise my playing games time has been reduced to zero...but it shows good sign :)

I'm still a few months away from being 30..yet i do still play videogames, not very much but as soon as i can cope them with my other interests i just do.

I'd like to point that statistics have found that the most videogamers are over the twenties. Saying that playing games is childish is just a common cliche. Not only it isnt but it can be a social tool also.

I mean i know its way better to just go out with girls or friends, yet me and some friends do play together online and we wouldnt stop..its good that (most) girlfriends here dont really care about that.
