Hell no. I grew up playing games on an Apple II computer, Atari 2600, Commodore 64, Intellivision, etc. I'm from the early days of gaming, it will always be a part of me. I've watched gaming grow from that point on. It's kind of like my little baby in a way. The classic games are way better than the games of today too. Better as in, more fun, not prettier graphics. :roll: Still some cool games come out these days though, just not as much as before.

Uh games aren't new and people that grew up playing will continue to do so. Why would that make anyone embarrassed?

The way your reply sounds, seems as if you took offense to the question. How about just answer it and stop thinking everything is an arguement?

Hey, I'm not making fun of people. I'm an older person, I play DS games, but I wonder what other people think about what groups think of them, for example, parents, spouses, friends, etc

nah, I'm a proud gamer at 19. And when I'm gaming 20 years from now, I'll be proud too.

Make no mistake, however. Gaming is not a top priority in my life.

You're not too old to play video games, but you're too old to watch anime.

How old is too old to watch anime? I was planning on watching until there were no more interesting shows, but now that I know there's an age limit...

I didn't mean to imply that you were. I just didn't know how to word my answer any other way. My fault.

I just meant if a person makes fun of another guy for playing games then they are foolish. That's all. I didn't direct it at you.

Oh, man an argument is coming on.

Anime, certain ones pertain to older audicences, not just kiddy stuff like one piece or Naruto (which I enjoy).

I'm not old.....yet, but I'm sure when I am older (30 or so) I'll still be playing videogames and I dont think I'll be ashamed or embarrased. Why be embarrased about something you love to do???? :P

From the ''kiddy'' stuff to the anime for ''older audiences'', the anime girls just grow larger. :P

I have seen the naive, innocent-acting and sweet-looking anime girl stereotype in enough shows already, and I believe that sort of thing plays a part in drawing some audience.

Video games were made when people my age (28) were kids, so we were the first children of gaming. The industry is getting older, as are the games, which is creating a by product of kids that are coming into a world thats less censored (which is a good thing). People that claim they 'grew out of playing video games' are missing out.....
