Discussing Changes For Older Videogame Players?

Thanks to GameCritics for their feature discussing how a person's videogame experiences change as they get older. Talking with gamers as old as 30 (!), they ask if reflexes are dulled ("The only time I notice slowed reflexes is when I stop playing twitch games for while, which is pretty rare"), consider shifts in preferred genres ("Now that I'm older, I really don't have the time to play long, drawn-out games anymore"), and discuss how gaming affects their relationships ("I'm pretty single right now so I can't answer, but my email address is listed on the bio page. I just wanted people to know that.")

  1. Pretty single? by Ianoo · · Score: 4, Funny

    He's "pretty single"? If he's single at age 30 and has pasty skin and overdeveloped wrists (from all that staying in and playing games) I'd suggest he's ugly single!

    I love it. That's sure to get him a few dates at least ;-)
