I wonder if i could get my 93 years old grandma to play Skyrim.... The problem is that she even fears the telephone..

Mine's in her late 80s and refuses to even try new restaurants and I have to explain how to work her Blu-Ray player all the time. Plus her computer is so slow. I'm not convinced it isn't run Flintstones style by a dinosaur. :brokencomputer: I'm pretty sure that I'd never get her playing Skyrim.

I'm "only" 43.

As long as there are games being made that I want to play, I will be playing. Some people like to watch tons of films, some people like to build dollhouses, some like to crochet, some like to make music. I like to game.

Hubby isn't a big gamer/is often too busy with work & other hobbies, but in winter around the holidays he plays a few...he's 45. I'm hoping when we're retired we'll be two old geezers sitting on the couch gaming away on our cool, futuristic, 3D, room-wrapping screened system. lol

41 :tongue: but then again, woman lives longer than men :sad:

I am in my upper 40s and I'm female. That makes me the real loner here!

So do I. Doesn't stop me gaming, though.

Wow, and I can't even get my 65 year old grandparents to even touch a computer!

Similar in usage to "bastard" but less rude, and likewise it can be used affectionately. I think it's a term predominantly used in Britain and Australia, however, and seems largely unknown in North America.

You must be joking

How can you fear the telephone and use a computer..?

I'm a young advlt, and my folks think games are something that's a phase you go through as a teen or something and that I should grow up.

41 here. Started with Bethesda with Daggerfall...first game system was an Atari 2600. Combat.

You should always listen to your parents... they know what's good for you :lol:

Once a gamer, always a gamer (particularly RPG).

Beats sitting in front of the TV, etc.

While I'm not 59, I'm pretty sure when I am I'll still be working, doing other things as usual, and playing RPGs.

» Fri Dec 09, 2011 11:26 am

I'm 40 and will be playing games as long as my body doesn't fail me.

I'm not joking: I hate using the phone. My other half has to do all that sort of thing; the computer's easy, I don't need to talk to it...

I'm 39, and I've been a gamer girl since my family got our first computer in the '80s. Never got into the console thing, unless you count momentary addictions to Super Breakout and Tetris on my brother's consoles. (His TV and consoles always wound up in my room when he got punished. I think seeing me able to play his games when he was punished was the driving factor IN the punishment.)

Age is irrelevant in gaming, and it's awesome.

Hating to use it and actually fearing it is different. I also hate using the phone for calling and i'm just 17 years old.

But my grandma seriously FEARS the phone, she can't make herself to even touch the phone.

I'm only 15...but my cousin is 30 something and she plays Oblivion.

Wow, sounds like you are awesome grandparents. Hopefully I'll be posting in a similar thread 40 years down the line.

xD

51. I went to a military academy for high school, and they were one of the first schools in the country to give their students access to a mainframe, an HP3000. I wrote my first computer program in 1976, which was Pong...text based Pong, played on a thermal dot-matrix TTY. It wasn't really a game, per se. It just made you think what you were doing had a consequence. It didn't really...

I have very fond memories of Ultima IV, which was the first RPG I played. You were forced to be a moral goody-two-shoes, but I loved it. Daggerfall was my first TES, and I've been hooked on the series since.

35 and have loved RPGs ever since playing my first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bard%27s_Tale_III:_Thief_of_Fate

Hmm, 68 here. First game was something called Akalabeth by some teenager named Richard Garriott. On an Apple II+. Attitude towards gaming, my sig should say it all, that is if I got it in right.
