newyork-nightmare 698 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Just took this cam picture of the wife and I tonight. Got me wondering...... How old is too old to be playing video games? How long do you think you will be playing? Until our arthritis makes it unbearable? As for me.. I can retire in 10 years, my first 401k check is going towards a PS6 Quote "You have enemies? good, that means you stood up for something in your life" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHatched 12,103 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Funny pic, and I have a possible reply, but atm I do think this is a duplicate topic as I know I have seen this topic before, just can't remember if it is on this forum.....

furdog 525 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 You're too old when you either can't see/hear the TV or hold the controller. Other than that, there is no age limit. I grew up playing video games and I will play them until they are no longer available or I'm dead 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LN-MLB 2,583 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I don't think you're ever "too old" to play video games. I have friends in their mid to late 50s who still play on a regular basis. As for myself, I'll keep playing until my vision or dexterity gives out. I'd imagine that if I were able to retire and didn't have other things going on, I'd be playing non-stop. I've been playing them my entire life (started with Atari 2600 and arcade games), and I find them to be a nice break from the "real world". Although, there are times when I play too much when I should be doing work, but I haven't ever been the best with time management. I just hope they continue to make GTA or GTA style games. I love my sports games as well, but I find myself being very picky these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The putnonpain 14 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 No such thing as to old! Do what you enjoy doing. I will always be a gamer but sometimes you just have more important things to take care of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locust_cnd 166 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 its not a matter of age, its like anything in life too much of it isnt good, as long as you can identify if your playing to much and correct it its isnt ever a problem to play.

Xyon14 2,312 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 There isn't really an age limit, as long as you having fun doing it . I would say that there are quite a few of us here who remember a time from our childhood pre-home-console Like MLB I too started my gaming career on an Atari 2600 and ruled on Berserk! I plan to play and die with a controller in my hand when I'm old and gray 1 Quote Crew Policies and Vetting Procedure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
