I am old now

Post by Strider77 »

Had my B-day on the 24th.... turned 32. Still waiting for the day I grow up and dislike games. Well not really, I played through Contra Hard Corps at 4:30 am last night.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

32 isn´t old, especially if you play games to keep you young :wink:

Well, now you're my age.

It does feel old, doesn't it?

Oh well, I don't think i've matured since 95.

Another born in 1977 here. It's a good age to be, I think. Not so young as to be rubbish and not so old as to be senile.

I'm turning 24 today. I'm not old, but I'm noticing that real life obligations are slowly taking away my gaming time. With each passing year I have less and less time to devote for games, and it's just getting worse. I remember GP and elvis commenting that they barely have time to play games anymore, and I feel that I'm reaching that point too. That makes me feel old.

That's just how life is, but I miss the days I could play games all day long without worries.

I suspect the slightly higher average age around here is what makes the community civil and most debates interesting. So there ya, there's some positive in aging too! :wink:

I think the biggest change is the fact I've dropped 800.00 on a PCB/game ect. I would have NEVER dreamed of doing that or being able to.

That and I would have never imagined owning arcade games that I loved back then like AvP ect.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

I didn't feel old until I turned 22. Now it's just death to look forward to.

I turn 32 in April, and I don't feel old, except for the occasional issue w/ my knees & back, but that's more hereditary than anything. Part of it is that I need to get off my backside & exercise :oops:

I'll be 40 later this year, and I have no intention of ever stopping playing games. As long as I have reflexes that are up to it, eyes that can see and fingers that work, I'll be here. :-)
