Nervous Guy Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 If you're 30+ and playing video games, consider yourself ahead of the curve. Then I'm way ahead of the curve, I'll be 50 this year and still love to play video games...
The Big Cat Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Then I'm way ahead of the curve, I'll be 50 this year and still love to play video games... Still!? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you were 15 when the home-version of Pong was released. Brother, you got in at the ground floor! I love it!
RayFinkle Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I'm in my 30s and I play video games. No shame in it. Of course I am buying a house next month, so I suspect my free time will significantly decrease in the immediate future.

I love it! yeah...that sounds about right...also spent a lot of high times at the arcade at the Como Mall... My son's (16ish) friends are always surprised when they first meet me that I play on the 360.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 For those who are married how does your wife feel about you playing Madden still? Does she understand?
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I'm thinking about convincing my fiance that its a great idea to buy a PS3 because its also a blue-ray DVD player lol
May Day 10 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 For those who are married how does your wife feel about you playing Madden still? Does she understand? I live with my girlfriend. We are basically living the married life for all intents and purposes. She really has no problem with me playing video games. She understands and usually goes into the bedroom to watch TV and/or read/cruise the internet while I am playing. Every once in awhile, I find a game she enjoys and she will play too.
Nervous Guy Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 For those who are married how does your wife feel about you playing Madden still? Does she understand? I've been married for almost 22 years...she doesn't understand but that doesn't matter, it gives her an easy out on gift giving occassions.
The Big Cat Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 For those who are married how does your wife feel about you playing Madden still? Does she understand? Probably the same way wives feel about guys who like model airplanes/train sets/weekly poker games/beer league softball/MESSAGE BOARDS--at the end of the day, they're all boyish things to do.
plenzmd1 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I've been married for almost 22 years...she doesn't understand but that doesn't matter, it gives her an easy out on gift giving occassions. I am 46, and still play video games, but wouldn't consider myself a gamer. Ane the above point is so on target. First Christmas morning I spent at my future in-laws house, wife to be gives me a PlayStation. Holy scmoley. mother in law was real impressed with a 34 yr old getting excited about getting a video game. Course that was followed by the Sega "Dreamcast" and then the 360 and lastly the WII all on Christmas.
Peace Frog Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 For those who are married how does your wife feel about you playing Madden still? Does she understand? I'm over 40, have been married almost 10 years, and still like to play games. If my wife gives me any grief about it, I just smack her right in the eye and tell her "Go fix me a turkey pot pie!" Then, I apologize to her later and buy her something nice. Works every time.
Peace Frog Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I'm well over 30 and still play video games, and yes I get laid. I also target shoot, scuba dive, weight lift, and read extensively. In addition I collect lead soldiers and paint my own. I used to play Avalon Hill games but lately I've drifted away from that. What's my point? Bite me if you don't like it. Avalon Hill, eh?

H2o Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 For those who are married how does your wife feel about you playing Madden still? Does she understand? When we first got married I played alot. Now, with 3 year old and a 1 1/2 year old boys, I don't have time like I used to. They definitely consume most of that. The wife is very happy about that. My 3 year old was given the PS2. Right at about the age of 2 he actually learned how to play. I came home from work and he was playing "Crash Bandicoot" all by himself and I mean actually moving the guy around completing his objectives. It was amazing to me. Now he plays games on average of about 4-6 hours a day. He wouldn't be happy if he didn't have it. I have my XBox 360 to play when I get time in the evening, when everyone is asleep, if I choose to play. I don't play but maybe once or twice a week. I have other things that take up my time. Speding time with my wife and children, reading, prayer, chruch functions/activities, and music take up most of my time. Oh yeah, and the internet
dib Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 yeah...that sounds about right...also spent a lot of high times at the arcade at the Como Mall... Ever play Star Castle at the Como mall? Maybe it was the Thruway Mall, my memory decieves me.
Nervous Guy Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Ever play Star Castle at the Como mall? Maybe it was the Thruway Mall, my memory decieves me. not sure if I remember that one...spent alot of time on Breakout and foosball.
Beerball Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 In addition I collect lead soldiers and paint my own. your own what?
KD in CA Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Still!? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you were 15 when the home-version of Pong was released. Brother, you got in at the ground floor! I love it! Atari 2600 rocked.
