At what age is it not cool for a guy to play computer games?
« on: December 07, 2008, 08:57:41 AM »
 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.

men remain kids, whether its computer games or throwing bombs on civilian targets and driving fast cars.

I"m not a gamer at all, but my friends and coworkers are and they're all in their 30s....nothin wrong with it at all.   I know lots of couples that are buying game systems for themselves and parents that buy them and play with or without their kids.

Difficult question...  ??? XBox-ing is much saver than squatting on a Swiss ball but also less cool than that.

Screw what everyone else thinks. I know people who have as many toys as the 40 year old virgin and pull more ass then Mystery. You can't give a shit what anyone else thinks. You think myself or anyone on this site would be bodybuilding if we were all afraid people would think we are gay? You just keep it private and if anyone asks just avoid the topic.

I still occasionally play the arcade games I grew up with.  The Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME and MacMAME) allows you to recreate any of the old arcade games on your computer.  The ones I play most often are Robotron 2084, Defender, Crazy Climber, Joust, Dig Dug, and Donkey Kong Jr.  I have about 20 MAME ROMS installed but have more than 100 more on a disk some where.

I have no interest in X Box, PlayStation, or GameCube/Wii.

i like the "oldschool" idea of mame but face the truth: those games are shit

I dont see a problem if its not compromising your social/work life
You must be pretty insecure if u dont play games because ur scared of what others think of u

Life... it's a big game... So what does it matter if you're playing with women, your dick or on your Xbox?

No more weirder  than mothers dressing like their daughters, and going to the clubs with them. No more weirder than parents being their kids "friends"....

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.

The only people who may think "its weird or juvenile" would be married women and people who SUCK at video games.  If it was an original Atari or something maybe I could see a point but games have come a loooooooong way since then and most a catered to adults now.

I still play and I'm getting up there. Unreal Tournament is probably my favorite first person shooter.

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.

Nothing wrong with the odd video game in my book - I'm busy making my way through Far Cry 2 at the moment.
