Does anyone play video games ?

I know I do and I'm not ashamed. I'm 28 years old and I still fiddle around with the ps3, psp, PC gaming and xbox 360 at least 4 hours a week and I love it and it helps relax me and put me in a good mood. Just if any of you would be asking if you have a life, well yes I do I'm an entrepreneur and I'm very successful with a girlfriend and a 2 year old girl. Gamers can have lives as well you know. Anyways do you still have a go with video games no matter how old you are if seen 60 year olds rage on the xbox already and it was really strange but funny.

 

I still play video games, but not as engrossed with it when I was in my teens and early 20's. Before when I got home from school or work, the 1st thing I do is to turn on the pc to play pc games, now I'm not that excited and eager anymore.

 

Oh well. I am also a gamer. I really like to play video games because in this way, I entertain myself when I am bored or just want to enjoy myself after a busy hours of work. My girlfriend isn't favor of my habit of playing PC games but I just like what I am doing. Even if I get older, I will still play video games and if I have a child in the future, I would like to play together with my son or daughter.

 

I love gaming. I usually stick to 360, the 3ds and a gaming PC. My gaming PC is a pretty sweet set up. I love racing games, adventure games, but lately scary games have been pretty captivating to me.

 

I still play video games as well, I find that it's a great way to pass the time and unwind a little bit. I usually play the Need for Speed titles where you have races, buy and modify cars. I can spend an entire Sunday buying and tweeking my cars.

 

I do play video games too. I haven't played on my PS3 for quite a while now though, think I need some new games and also my controller is broken. After watching the new Xbox reveal, that looks cool too, but many people are complaining it's more like a media centre than a gaming console. The PS4 should be awesome, but there's not much info on it yet. It will be at least a year before I will be buying one though.

 

I play from time to time, but not nearly as much as I used to. Don't have the time usually, nowadays.

 

Yes, I do. I play them almost all the time. They give me experiences which I would never experience in the real world. They also help me to relax. I think they are the best man made creation.

 

Hello. PC gamer here. But my laptop is too outdated to play any of the newest games. I usually stick to just LoL. Has anyone played it before or are interested in it?

 

I still play video games very often! My favorite game is World of Warcraft that I play on my PC. It is a lot of fun and very addicting. I also play The Sims on my computer sometimes. When I don't feel like playing on my computer, I will play Grand Theft Auto on my Xbox. Video games are great.

 

I love video games, they're one of my favorite things! In fact, I just built a computer for gaming 4 months ago.

 

Yes. I love video games and I am not ashamed to admit that at 22 years old, i still play them. I have been playing since I was 7 years old and I have been hooked ever since. Any system you want to name, I have it. Playstation 1, 2, and 3. Xbox, Nintendo Wii, PSP, etc. The thing I like about video games is the excitement and challenges you get when you play them. There is a fun and thrill factor ever time I play a game. I don't think that factor will ever go away.

 

I'm 30, and I still play all the time. The first console I ever owned was an Atari VCS/2600, and I got an NES when I was 5 years old. My grandpa also had a great collection of games for his Commodore 64 that I'd play every time I visited. If you had access to those as a kid and weren't hooked on games for life, you simply weren't playing them. I've worked my way up the consoles through the years and I'm primarily a PC gamer now, but nothing will ever really beat those old machines.

 

How did you go about building a gaming computer? I'm really interested in building one of my own and am not sure where to get the best/cheapest parts. Did you follow an instruction guide online? What are the specs of your machine?

I have never played the newest PC games, but I find some of them fascinating and once I have the money, I would definitely try them, like Guild Wars 2, Elderscrolls Online, Planetside 2, etc... But my computer is really bad.

 

There are many helpful communities out there dedicated to this, the main one I have offhand being the Reddit buildapc community (http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc). In my opinion, the hardest part of the build was figuring out what parts I was going to buy. Newegg's tutorials on YouTube are very helpful through the entire process, and PCPartPicker (http://pcpartpicker.com/) helps with checking compatibility of parts, and where to get them for the lowest price. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Here's episode 1 of their 3 part tutorial, it deals with choosing components:

 

I'm 22 years old and I still play video games. The first console I've ever played on was Sega Genesis, and I've begun playing video games at the age of 6.
Also I don't think that I will ever stop playing games.

 

I love playing video games, although my PS3 has turned into more of a Netflix device than a gaming console. But I still like to play a nice round of Zombies, or drift on GT5 every now and then.

 

I'm about 21 now (almost 22). I was never fortunate enough to have a Sega Genesis... and I only got the N64 like 5 years after it was released haha. What games do you enjoy playing now? MMO's? FPS's? RTS?

I don't think there is any problem with being 20+ and still playing video games, that is where most of the game companies target their consoles and games, because we are starting to get a disposable income (Maybe once I graduate grad school).

 

I must really be getting old because I can't keep up with all the complicated controls on these newer games. I haven't bought a gaming system since the Nintendo 64 back in the 90's. This past year I've gotten into some emulators a bit though and I've been playing some of the old Genesis games I used to love, such as Robo Aleste.

 

Yeah, kids up to adults are always the prime targets of gaming companies. I haven't seen a senior citizen passionately playing video games though, or even playing 1 to begin with.
