Interesting…Are you working right now? Night shift at Krystal?


Yes, not everyone works 8-5 or 8 hour shifts. You will learn that one day.

Ditto they made NCAA more like Madden and I am terrible. Haven’t played video games in fifteen years since my ps2 broke, but fifa, ncaa football, and ghost of Tsushima are the only ones I play; I suck really bad at ghost of Tsushima and ncaa (used to be pretty good, but they changed the user catch controls a little), and fifa is the only one I have gotten decent with playing. They make the games now where you have to practice for hours to get good with all the subtle controls. I just want to play something simple. It makes me sad as well :)

Bro relax. It’s just a temporary relief from the world. Better than abusing drugs or alcohol. Game away.

If you play video games when you have a family, you dont deserve that family. She will either cheap or leave you in the end. If you play every now and then, by all means play your game. But if your a daily player or weekly player grow the frick up and spend time with your family.

In that line of thinking, why should men play any games at all? Work, eat, sleep, frick.

Like your peasant forebears, right?

There’s a growing fascination among young people to just sit and watch other people play video games.

How is this any different than people watching NFL/MLB/NBA?

Average video gamer is mid to late 30 and it's only going to go up as people like me that started on Pong and grew up in games get older

Do you say the same about car guys? Golfers? Hunters? Fishermen?

That’s fine .. I just don’t understand a 40yo playing video games on a regular basis.

Probably because Millennials are all adults now and we have been playing video games since we were kids.


I'm an early Gen X 57 year old, and had an Atari at 11 yrs old. At this point, playing video games isn't a generation thing. And video games, like most things requiring a circuit board, were invented by boomers.

Uh, those things you mentioned are real life, not some game that’s animated.

The older I got the more responsibilities I had. This led to no longer being able to play consistently. Since I couldn't play as much I started to suck at games and I just lost all interest over time. I could no longer justify buying a gaming system just to play it once or twice a month.
