The Aging Gamer

Posted by timothy on from the hey-look-at-that-big-hill dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There is a short article at the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle about the surprising statistic that a large potion of computer gamers are over 35. This actually makes sense, since many of them began gaming in the 70's. A short and semi-interesting read."

    Wow... So either you're truely a horrible parent or you're an example of a very good troll. You admit that your son is addicted to starcraft, then you say that he's been gaming straight for two weeks including overniters? Did you miss the article about the Korean gentleman dying from a mere weekend of gaming? Jesus... Gaming is fun but two straight weeks of anything (with the exception of breathing I suppose) isn't good for anybody.
