At what age is it not cool for a guy to play computer games?

[TrueGrit]

In fact men in their 40's still play and buy games...It's the online gaming shit that is weird for grown men to play...Imagine some 40 yr old dude play World of Warcraft (or what eva it's called) against some 19 yr old dude in Korea.

haha, that's definitely when it gets dodgy as hell.

I have an addictive personality when it comes to video games.  I once lost like an entire two months to Age of Empires.  I'd like to game again but I'm not sure I can trust myself.

Just wondering. If you're over 25, is playing xbox 360 starting to get a bit weird and juvenile? How about when you're in your 30's, is it starting to get into creepy pedo living with his mom  territory?

I am tempted to buy a games machine but am wondering if there is an age where it just ain't right to be blowing up locusts and mowing down cops.

This is like asking me, "at what age should one stop masturbating?" Why should you?

I'm in my 30's, and I still jerk off and play video games. I grew up doing both, so it only makes sense that I will continue to do so. For the generation before us, there were no video games, so to them its childish.

Sadly, I can't devote the time I once did to jerking off, or playing games....

i haven't owned a PS2 or nintendo in years... i miss it.

WHAT? What happened? You used to play Grand Theft Auto just a couple of years back, right?

When you´re growing up, you think so many things are going to change when you are "grown up", but when you are, you realise that nothing has changed, you...are the same you, and it´s the same as it ever was.

Yeah, I guess so, to some degree. Except for now you've got the weight of the world on your back/shoulders, and endless stream of bills, and hair in your nose and ears.....

 Anyone have an opinion on the xbox or ps3? From what I understand the ps3 has better hardware but it rarely actually makes better games.

I am not into the online gaming thing.

[divcom]

my uncle plays with his kids, is over 55.  i stopped after 19-20 or so...just dont have the interest in gaming, have purchased computer games but throw them away after one day.  i guess it is individual.   

cant see myself purchasing a ps3 for $400 even w/the blu-ray, dont watch movies at home enough.

Don't know what's weird about it. The reason why there were hardly any adults playing video games up to date is that we are basically the first generation who grew up on video games. Adults don't start picking up habits from the youth, so who hasn't played video games as a child or teenager probably won't start with it in his 40s.

But when you grew up on them, I don't see any reason to stop playing them, as long as I enjoy it.

[Permabulker]

If you like playing them .....  Why stop?

Hypothetically, who would you assume is the more proficient World of Warcraft warrior, Ronnie Coleman or Dorian Yates?

[elite_lifter]

Stopped playing video games when I was 12.

NO.

[hipolito mejia]

At age 3.

[Megalodon]

Revenues for video games surpassed revenue from movies several years back.

An equally relevant question is "at what age is it not cool for a guy watch movies?"

At age 19 you should no longer watch movies.

[Wiggs]

12. if you dont stop by then you're a loser.

We all can't show our masculinity through our finger painting like you Jimmy

A better question would be :" When can I find time to play games when you are over 25?" In my case not too much. Maximum 2 hours in a week. And when you spend 10 hours a day before a computer for your job the videogames lose much of its appeal.

Your own fault, nobody forced you to marry and raise kids, fool....

[LatsMcGee]

I think it depends on how much time you spend...for example if you are a coked up 8th grade teacher playing WoW, as Method told me that who plays it, you might need some help.  If you just pop in Madden, or something to blow off some steam who cares....people need hobbies.

You hit the nail on the head my friend.

[JOCKTHEGLIDE]

BUT at the same time you can post at getbig for 12 hours or more per day??
