An Interview With 2old2play's Doodi
vinnie2k writes "This is an interesting interview with the founder of 2old2play.com. In it he discusses the future of gaming for older people, why we need communities like 2old2play, and how the gaming industry needs to refocus its efforts on the games it makes. Cool insight and worth the read for any older gamers."

but TFA makes it clear that in the gaming world; 25 is the new 60!
Hey, you're never 2old to be /.'ed!

*sigh* Kids these days...
Can you describe this thing you call a "life??"
I'm 8 years old and playing on xbox live right now screaming at my mom for some chocolate milk You see, gaming is the one place where young and old can come together to have fun in a mature and relaxing way.

I'm an old timer. I recently found a very challenging game, exciting, and fraught with risk. The game is called Automatic Transmission. Take it apart. Try to put it back together. Hope that it works. Fun.

i agree completely! i wish my father could play video games with any skill, it would give us at least one thing to talk about. however one of my uncles, i have happily spent many evenings laughing cheerfully as we killed prostitutes in GTA:San Andreas. truly, when this last gap is gone and everyone plays games, it will return to a more family time, with more leisure time spent together. i look forward to killing prostitutes with my own son/daughter (heh, just had to go back and add /daughter, guess i just learned something about my hopes for the future) in a cyber worldthat sounds like a joke but i'm deadly serious

I'm *way* the hell past college and I still get that. (Oddly enough, though, if I'm on her computer *fixing* the wretched thing, that's work!) I'm a writer, so maybe what I need to do next time I'm home is whip out a pad and pencil... better yet, I'm gonna hook up some foolscap and a quill... yeah, that'll do it. Programmers, though, hmm -- maybe an abacus? Bunch of slips of papers with ONE and ZERO written on them? Large bucket marked "BITS"?

I object to that article, and to the next reply.
In HIS defence, he spelled intoxicated wrong too, it's D-R-U-N-K and only applied liberally to the eastern & northern provinces and territories!
