At what age playing video games becomes an embarrassment?

[Methodical]

Don't matter....age don't matter....

Some of my older uncle who is over 50 and love to play sports video game and my pop who is 51 love to play fighting game.

You know you don't want to be killing ice wolfs in Skyrim.

At 23 I am thinking past like 27 playing hardcore games can't be good for your life.

Can't say I'll ever be embarrassed about it bc its a form of entertainment. I have realized that I can't invest nearly the amount of time that I did in them when I was younger and that bothers me sometimes. I used to be stone cold in Madden and now I'm hot b/c I can't really put the time in like I did in hs/college.

Just out of curiosity why would it be bad for your life?

Never, unless the rest of your life isn't in order.

I do think when you get kids though, gotta severely cut down on the VG time, but still don't mean you can't do it.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Never. My grandmother is 82 and loves to play Mario brothers.

She played it so much she sprained some tendons in her fingers. She calls all games systems "entendo" (nintendo) so we always joke with her that she caught the "entendo finger"

As for me I play all the time. I don't watch much tv so I spend a lot of time playing video games. My kids play with me and everybody is happy. I don't see what's embarrassing about that.

Because YOLO.

Why would you waste time wandering in something like Skyrim when you can go to Switzerland and get a real life experience:

I see fakkits already being agitated. I said "hardcore" games where you have to put in hours. Of course playing casually is not a problem but a person who plays 5 hours a day just can't have something that even resembles "exciting" life.

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

I will prolly play COD to the day I die....nothing better than drinking vodka and shooting lames....

The beauty of drinking & gaming is something you never realize until you're too old to be going out and you trying to tighten down and save some cash.

I used to do it with friends and it was fun, but nowadays if I get a free night when the ladies gone, i`ll pick up some booze, put my music on and grab the sticks and play all damn night.

It truly is a great time

I don't think us 80's kids will ever stop gaming. But it's a perception thing. If you are 25+ not handling your biz and on games all day it's a bad look. You work everyday, support yourself and/or fam, it's all good.

80's babies = Sneakerheads and gamers

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

does not apply any longer

 

[havoc00]

I'm 26 and won't be stopping anytime soon

There will come a point in your life when you stop caring what other people think and start living for yourself...At that point you won't have to ask questions like this.

I don't think us late 80's kids will ever stop gaming. But it's a perception thing. If you are 25+ not handling your biz and on games all day it's a bad look. You work everyday, support yourself and/or fam, it's all good.

Agree with everything you said except sneakerheads.

Nothing about growing up in the 80s/90s got me hooked on Sneakers.

But yeah if you got your life right there's nothing wrong with video games, it's a hobby, just like every other hobby people have had for thousands of years.

But if you're 25 + unemployed, living at home and just gaming all day, then yea it's a problem.

That's freedom baby, hit that point early in my 20's and it only gets stronger year by year, gotta love it.

It depends on the individual. I know some 50+ people that play World of Warcraft and have their wife and kids join them. If you're productive and it doesn't interfer with your lifestyle / work then by all means. People need an outlet and video games isn't harmful in moderation.

You know you're white, right?

White boys are aloof when it comes to fashion at an early age.

Black guys we about fashion before we can talk

It's not about what others think.

It's about my perception of myself. As a grown man I can't see myself sitting with a joystick and starring in the screen casting spells.

There is too much shyt to do in life with a limited time. Pushing hours in games is lame however you look at it.

Then again the majority are lames.
