Hit me up with a FR!!! I need a damn challenge ^^

Can i ask why does everyone have to put a time or number on anything. Im 20 yrs old but wouldnt think a guy being 40 playing halo would be bad. If you havent noticed games are going towards adults more then childeren hence the Mature Rating. You have to be 17 or older to buy games that have it. So there shouldnt be an age that you would be too old to play halo. The real question is how long is everyone gonna stay interactive with halo. ^^

If by "not bad" you mean that it is acceptable, I am glad. I'm 42 and I enjoy the games immensely.

If by "not bad" you mean my skills? Then I might disagree. I know that I suck at the game compared to others. So some of us older gamers may not have the wins that younger gamers do. *grin*

But my enjoyment of a game is not related to how well I score against other players. My enjoyment is a personal measure and is more about how I spend my time, not my win:loss, kill:death, or any other ratio.


Nicely Put

I meant that im quite okay with older people playing video games. When most of the games are coming out as Mature ^^ Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I wish I could play for fun like you, but I can't. I have a competitive nature and I love ranking up. I play for fun in my alt tags, but even there, I like winning.

='( I rarely play for PURE fun and not worry about any winnings, sadly, it's usually when I'm deranking which, is kinda annoying having to find 3 other people to come with me.

No misunderstanding. If it seemed like I was scolding or offended, I wasn't. Not in the least.

Definitely no need to apologize.


lol, speak for your self, I'm quite fed up with being called "older people" by wipper-snappers, I don't feel older at all, and I still like to look at the very cute wipper-snapper girls *grin* we're just more mature than you youngsters thats all ! ( I did not pick my GT out of the air you know)

Your never too old to play Halo

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Your never to old.

Never. Here's an example of a senior citizen who could probably kick anyone's ass here.
