~:O>~~

Nothing will ever compare to being around during the early days of video games... because that's when it had the most camraderie and potential. Just imagine being a 13 year old and thinking that it will be only a matter of time before we acheive highly realistic graphics and everything expanding exponentially. Right now I think we platued on what our technology will be able to to acheive and what gamers want out of a video game, in fact it has been stated that we'll be seeing a lot more rehashes and sequels to our pre-existing IP's in our current Console generation- and everything will begin to look like the music industry.

I'm glad I at least got to be able to see the progression of technology from 8-bit 2D all the way to HD 3D online... I think we recently passed what I consider the Classical era of gaming, now were in the twilight as far as ambition and consumer expectations are concerned.

Playing games have no age limits. You can play it regardless of how old you are. As long as you meet the requirement from ESRB ratings, that is!

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

LOL! YOu're never too old for video games, most of my friends are older than 25 and the oldest of my friends is 40 and he is not the only one I know, I personally don't think you need a certain age to be in a forum or play video games of any kind.


^this^ There are 60-year olds that still play video games.

I'm only 19, but plan to be gaming until I am physically unable to. Never too old.

I'm looking forward to being an older gamer. I want to be able to tell kids who say I'm too old that I've been gaming my entire life, so this is my lawn and they need to get off of it.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

When you can no longer hold a controller and use it, then you are too old.

Which I think would start happening at around 80 or older.

Booyah! old people FTW! I'm about to turn 32, my oldest son is 10, It's an interesting question. I'm a very harsh person on my kids with games, I want them to be there because they are such a wonderful part of my life, but I don't want them to overdo it. Me, I overdid it. countless nights staying up all night, for aslong as i can remember, my parents didn't reprimand me for it. I have noticed my skills have greatly diminished as i age but my love for games has not, but to demograph games accurately isn't possible, just halo alone yes,I bought my should be father in law halo CE for the pc, (and little does he know halo 2 for next bday) and he has beat it 5 times now. he's over 60 and loves it. I think ive ruined this post straying off into multiple directions.

go old people!

I'll be 31 in October, and some of the people I work with are in their upper 40's and are still gamers.

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

35 and checkin' in.

I've been playing video games for as long as I can remember, and I see absolutely no reason to stop now... or ever, for that matter.

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

They think that's old? They don't even want to know how old Recon is.

I'm 18, by the way.

Check out this Thread on how to help new members here on Bungie.net

I agree with a lot of people your never really to old to sit down and enjoy an amazing video game or come on to Bungie or other game sites.

Now yes when you get older I'm sure the interest of video games will go down just a little(Maybe) and its hard to come by someone who is over 50 on a forum haha. I know I'll keep coming on for a very long time to come though.

Halo is deep, and what Bungie does it incredible. Anyone who appreciates it deserves to be here.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

I think that it's become the new "clearly you have no life, and can't get one" insult for those of us who are clearly too old to still be in our mother's basement.

Teens would insult those in the late 20's to early 30's with the stereotype of "a fat ugly kid that never grew up and now sponges off of their parents". Now that those teens are in college or in the late 20's themselves, they need to alter the insult so that it doesn't catch them in the splash damage radius.

This is the way the world ends,

This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

I am under twenty, so I sure hope that isn't too old.
