i am 37, married, 2 kids, a firefighter. i am from the atari 2600 generation. i was only about 10 (i guess, dont really remember what age) when i got my atari 2600 and i still remember how cool "combat" "asteroids" and "adventure" were (i still have a 2600). most of those kids that got a 2600 for christmas back then are about my age now. im surprised that everyone my age isnt a gamer. i will never stop, until my health deteriorates to the point where i cant. i can only imagine what games will be like in 20 years.............

i just bought a psp too so i can play at work :)

hl2 was excellent, i played it first on the pc, i upgraded my pc just for hl2. the episodes are great too. but you young guys are missing out on half-life 1. its too bad they dont make a "better graphics" version of hl1. i would preorder it now if they said it was coming out in a couple years. hl1 was revolutionary. i still remember late nights playing through the single player till all hours in the morning on my pentium 2 350 with 64 megs of ram and a 16 meg voodoo banshee card. i wont even get started on counter strike beta 1 (i would get up early to play a few rounds before i left for work)

i was really disapointed when half life wasnt included in the orange box
