Discussing Changes For Older Videogame Players?

Posted by simoniker on Saturday November 22, 2003 @10:58PM from the please-note-sarcasm dept.

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.")

30 old? haha, yea.

My CS clan has a number of old farts in it... and let me stress the "farts" part;)

Let me just look through whos in the irc chat right now... ok, first name is im assuming around 28 years old, has a nice kegerator in his house. Second nam eon the list... ulp, i think this ones 27 or so. Lez see... next is 20... then me(20..) then a 16 year old, and then a 15 year odl, both whos father plays and is in the clan, considering that, i would put him at least 40 i'm assuming. We also have 3-4 more between 28 and 35 year olds in the group.

consider us an old clan? Mature is a more likeable term, it has lead to us being around for what, 3 years now...? :-D mmm counter-strike
