Oh that's so sweet. I wish she was my grandmother. No age limit please. I rather prefer they incorporate a grandma mode, where everything runs a bit slower (on purpose) and the font size is larger.

"OK everyone. I have to get off here for a bit! I've got hundreds of comments and thousands of emails and I've got to do something..I don't know what! The letters wait an eternity as I type, before they print! I think things are getting to clogged up!! Later!!"

That's so nice. She thinks she has to replay to everyone. But this attention will soon make a perfect internet citizen. This is actually not an age thing.

Having said this I wish I could know roughly the age of the persons I'm talking with sometimes.

Matewis: Anyone ever give any thought to what game you want to play on your death bed?
Flower would be nice.

I might just go with Sands of Time.

UniversalWolf: If there's an age limit it should be on young people. I say ban everyone younger than 21 from playing video games.
If you decline kids their video games, then they will just have sex and procreate all the time out of sheer boredom. And we can't have that.

Video games are the number one contraceptive in the world. Proof: Japan has lots of video games => declining births and aging population. Africa doesn't have video games, but they should have. HIV/AIDS would magically disappear from the face of the earth. A tip for Bono.

Video game consoles were also forbidden in China until recently. No wonder they had to limit the number of babies per family over the decades, when the real solution was so much simpler.

ET3D: The more years pass, the more old people will play games, simply because there would be more of those who grew up with them.

Shadowstalker16: How people view playing games as juvenile while buying a new smartphone every 4 months is beyond me.
avatar
ET3D: Do you actually know any people who buy phones every 4 months, or is this just hyperbole?

I mean in particular people who have something against playing games. I probably bought a new phone every about 8 months recently (it's just hard to find a phone I'm really satisfied with).
I know a guy who went through 3 in 9 months so.........yes? Also a guy who got an i-pad mini for $700.

Smartphones and social are a much better contraceptive. When you spend all your waking hours trying to brag about yourslef on facebook, it leaves little time for anything else. Also, the radiation. And I hear dressing like a hipster is the most effective contraceptive. Something like a scarf+knee-length pink pants+crocs footwear+giant glasses+skrillex cut green hair.

Okay. And he thinks gaming is juvenile? If so, I guess you have a legitimate beef.

Well, if you're bragging about your sex life and posting pictures...

Anyway, I think that people who brag on Facebook in general do more than people who don't. I'm serious. If you go to all kind of places to take selfies and post them, it means you went to all kinds of places, typically with other people.

The thing about "social" is that it tends to be actually social, and the people who are totally against this kind of sharing are typically the less social people.

People on social media stare at their phone, people without social media look at each other - now who will get to (really know) more people?

And he plays on that exclusively despite having a gaming capable PC. I recall he called me a console peasant for playing Dark Souls and I called him a casual scrub in retaliation.

Yeah but they go to places looking for selfie spots and anything convince their followers that their life doesn't suck. People hating it could be less social or just less trusting of posting their experiences on the internet. But its sometimes sad to be the few people who don't use it when all your friends are on there :'(

Good natured stabs then. :)

I figure that many people who change phones often do play games. I also moved largely to tablets for gaming. It's more comfortable than being tied to a particular spot.

60? Pfft. Physical education teacher in our school was 90 and he was running like he was 9. I seriously was shocked when found out about his age, he looked like he was in his early 50s.
Most gamers remain gamer when when they get older. But age can change your favorite games and genre, plus your gameplay style, skills and gamesense.

For example, turning an arcade-type gamer into a strategy-type player.

I'd just play being the offspring of the God of Murder, being hunted to death by my half-brother. Seems fitting, on a deathbed. What better way to die than with the greatest game of all time.

Please don't mention the game if you know what I'm referring though, or it'll turn into a spoiler!

I think that game is old enough so everyone now know the plot, just like everyone knows that Darth Vader is Luke's father, or that Edea is Matron of SeeD in FF 8.
