My friend's Uncle tried to play Halo once. It was a disaster. While playing, his Uncle shouts "How do I hit with my gun?" My friend says "Press the B button!" 'Which one is the B button?' 'The red one!' Which one is the red one?" Yeah, it didn't go well. I guess you are too old for video games when you don't know your colors. But I think you are too old for anything at that point. No offense to the veterans on this site.

You're never too old for gaming, but I imagine I'll stop playing FPSs online when I'm 50yrs old or so.

The twitch reflexes just won't be there anymore :P

The thing that matters here is if you have the time to continue playing like a pro. I think I will never be too old for gaming, but I'll be a teacher soon so in the future I'll be lucky if I can play one hour per day. :)

Nope. Just you. ;-)

I am 37 and a GAMING GOD!

I will never be defeated in any game I really like.

Just the other day my son snatched my m/kb from me when he sat and watched me die 4 times in the same place on Dead Space. With a little too much ease and just one try he past the point i kept failing on.

He is 11. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. A few years ago i had to lower my skill level on most games to give him a chance when we play vs. Now he shouts my 14 yr old daughter as she is more of a challenge than me. My wife finds it very funny, i on the other hand do not lol.

Just wondered if any other older gamers have had similar experiences? I'm 31 btw and my 5 yr old regularly beats me on wii games lol.

Frozzik
i'm 35, fortunately for me my 10 year old son can't beat me yet, but i know the day will come very soon, i don't think we are too old for gaming, i just think we should just forget about being competative and just enjoy games for ourselves, regardless of how many times w get pwnd by our own children.

I'm hoping I wont grow out of video games. Because I have no other hobbies. I'll have to start, like, talking to people. Eew.
