Any older gamers here will appreciate this:

The most recent Penny-Arcade comic perfectly sums up my feelings on online gaming, now that I'm 27, married, have a career, own a house, and have a baby. Anyone else chuckle when they read this?

I feel your pain amigo....Happens to me all the time when playing modern warfare 2, but yeah games should have a section for the old folks like us.... :(

ROFL. That's great!!!

I think online has just gotten out of hand. The Xbox360 is terible if you don't want to pay for the online(Mass Effect is good though) and on PS3, it's the same as explaned here: whining kids. I'm only 11, but I apreciate plot & gameplay a lot more than online compatibility. Then there's dlc, paying more money for content that should be in the original version.GLaDOS_700

Haha, although Im not married or have any kids most of my friends do and this happens pretty much everytime we game.

Right there with you.

I know Penny Arcade is joking, but it would actually be really great if there was a filter you could set to find games with older gamers. (But then the kids would just sneak in to up their kill-death ratios!)

That was pretty good. :)

Yea.. I feel ya.

Dude one more game...

Nah, I have to finish a project for work

:cry:

I don't mind. Perhaps not in FPS, but generally I find people of interest of all ages. also, I don't have any responsibilities such as kids, a job, car, family, etc.Daavpuke

Too true. :P

I remember when I first realized some of the best online gamers I knew were kids :-/istuffedsunny

It's pretty accurate, I'm not aparent - not able to be, but I do have obligations to consider first - cooking, bills, sleep, when able,and other non-gaming things. Comes with living alone. And I'm 31.
I prefer single player over multi player anyway, with single player there's no demands to stick around for farther games, I can just play in my own time and if I've got things to do, then I either don't play or I save and switch off.

Gaming's only meant to be fun anyway, not life or death.

My favorite line is still "they don't know hwo to shoot you anywhere but in the head" :)

I had a good chuckle out of this comic. Unfortunately, I do not play online anymore. I just can't get into online gaming as much as I used to. *shrugs*
