[QUOTE="slvrraven9"][QUOTE="50u1r34v3r"] Woohoo, what did I win? what did I win? I'm hoping 1st place wins a new hip50u1r34v3r
nice to see im not the only geezer around here hobbling around in their 30's lol, its really sad that were considered old and we're only in our 30's! gimmie a break...........but not in my bones!! I don't feel old at all. In fact, people always think I'm in my twenties when they first see me. Just last week, the women in the liquor store ask for my ID :lol: What I find annoying though is that some people still see gaming as something you only do when you're a kid. For me it's a form of entertainment, just like watching movies. SOO true. lol i get ID'ed everywhere i go too! lol, i just have one of those young faces! i think people are becoming more accepting of it, especially since the Wii's debut. more people have gaming systems then every before now. but i hate that as well. i dont get it much from my fam, mostly because 90% of my fam is gamers themselves! adults too!
23 but apparently I look like a 17 year old girl because the guy at GameStop wouldn't sell me Red Dead until I showed my passport. I was buying it as a present for myself for graduating from GWU. So sad, I was playing the NES before he was born. I wish I could buy my games and wine without being IDed all the time.
[QUOTE="richwalker13"][QUOTE="slvrraven9"] same age, SWEET! :Dcybrcatter
Can't believe that there's only 8 of us so far over 30... I feel old. My Amstrad 6128 seems like a lifetime ago... So... Want to tell these kids about the 80's? Don't remember much about the 70's (must have been the drugs) You had a cpc? Did the 6128 model have the disk where you had to take it out and flip it upside down to get the other half of the data? It did indeed, though I rarely had to use the second side, except for compilation games. Still had a tape deck though... Could you imagine these kids having to wait half an hour for a game to load? These days I get fed up waiting for the developers logo to cycle through it's animation...

Yeah, it's good to see gaming is getting more and more accepted nowadays. Unfortunately there's not too many people I know IRL that play games. (Apart from my 40 y.o. uncle, who I convinced to get a 360 after him seeing me play :P ) Which can be quite frustrating because that means you have no1 to share your passion with. :(

I already have quite a few friends, and between work, playing games and going out, not enough time to spend with them. So I guess my only option is to try and convince my current friends to play games. Either that, or come here more often :lol:
