At what age playing video games becomes an embarrassment?

[Jayson_bourn]

For me?

None

Thats something thats done in the privacy of my own home, and honestly if some people think its a turn off then fuk em.

After a long 8 hour day + commuting time... get home, crack open a beer n fire up the xbox.. sh)t is

I don't understand why gaming gets demonized. There is all kinds of people that sit here and talk about watching "The Wire", "Breaking Bad", "Sopranos" all day and night until they're caught up and nobody blinks. But 5 hours on a video game and they gotta be a nerd/loser/virgin.

Newsflash: most of the shyt you do for fun is a waste of time. And if you wasn't doing it, you wouldn't be living some kinda James Bond life style, or curing AIDS, or doing anything more important with your free time.

Yeah, and people don't seem to realize that playing games keeps your mind sharp instead of just mindlessly watching some of these programs the majority tunes into. Its just an old fallacy "grown folks" fall into because its something we used to do as kids as well.

I even had someone at work tell me that they are not letting their granddaughters play video games because it will "kill their mind"...I didn't even argue the facts because if she is that ignorant to say something like that then she wouldn't understand anyway.

this is a very dumb thread.

Some people out there truly believe when you reach a certain age, you should suddenly stop doing you. If you like to play games, hit the clubs, whatever do you

Stopped when that fool Favre was on the cover of madden, that and gta4 were the last games I bought.Then I sold my ps3.

It becomes embarrassing when you feel the urge to turn that console the fukk off when adults you dont know suddenly show up at your house.

Or you go to someone elses house and everyones talking, drinkin n laughin n one lame ass nikka is in the cut playin playstation.

 

[Lewis Black]

never be too old for games lol

 

[Justice]

if it takes up all your free time to the point youre not able to accomplish things... its already an embarrassment

That's a very fair point but then if it wasn't video games it'd be something else you are letting get in the way of you accomplishing things.

If you have your shyt together, game on brehs. Why would anyone care how you spent your free time if you aren't bothering anyone?

As a hardcore gamer (4-6 hrs a day 20-25 hrs a week) with a full time and girlfriend those days ended for me at 27.




as a 31 year old with a full time job and girlfriend im lucky to get in 3 hrs a day , shyt doesnt appeal to me at all like it used to.

damn bruh thats still alotta gaming. but med personally im NEVER gonna stop gaming. its something i grew up with and i still enjoy it. dont do it nearly as much tho. (maybe 3-4 games per year)

 

[jalamanta]
