That's very intresting. If I was from the Nintendo generation I'd be still playing video games too!

But if people think you can be to old to play video games, then I guess some people are too old to watch TV as-well.

I'm encouraged by this thread. I am 27 myself and regularly feel out of place on forum or while playing Reach, mostly because the younger players tend to be the most vocal/rude, and therefore they stand out. But it's good to know there are a mature group of players still as excited about gaming as I am.

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

Right now the average age on this site is pretty old, but an influx of new, fresh and young members will be here Soon(TM).

Checking out my profile I see?

I really don't think there's an age limit for a website.

Don't let anyone tell you you're too old to be part of the community. It's worth remembering that one of our slogans is "We make games we want to play", and there are plenty of guys in their mid-thirties working here. :)

So they were bashing you for being to old to be here but it's ok for them? That's sad.

Hello community, If you have any questions or concerns then please feel free to ask, whatever it may be and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge/ability. (It may not be THE answer you're looking for but AN answer is better than NO answer.)

KEEP CALM AND PLAY XBOX
Thank you.

When it comes to doing something you love/enjoy age simply becomes obsolete. Just a number. If you're happy doing what you do then there's really nothing to lose and a whole lot to gain.

Enjoy.

You are an outlier in regard to the average age of members, but that doesn't mean you're "too old."

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

I'll never be old enough for this site. Never ever.

I went to see star wars on release aged 11.
Played space invaders, galaxian, pong, street fighter, doom, quake, half-life, halo.
Don't know when/how I should stop.

Кланяються мені!

I used to be young like you, then I took arthritis to the knee.

Clever no? Also I prefer playing with mature gamers. Not saying there aren't younger players out there I will play with, but stupid comments like the one the OP said about being too old to play, come on really?!

global warming isn't proven and won't be - it's more of a political play for funding for "research"

I was clearly too young when I started here at age 10. Now, at age 17, I hardly think anyone is "too old" to be a part of the community.

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.


Until you have kids that is.

That is totally out of context however. That's their 'job' to make games, and its something they enjoy.

I would assume you Reach an age where you don't want to play games anymore..... God have mercy on their souls

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

Anybody else surprised about no posts from papa rich?

OT: I had a guy tell me I'm to old for games as videogames are for little kids, and I'm only 15 (feels noob-ish admitting it). I just walked over to the TV, booted up Halo, and just kept reloading the most violent cutscene I could find. The look on his face. XD

Nah, you're never too old; my dad and I share an X-box 360 with both of us regularly playing games and he's in his 50's. In fact, he got me into Halo after he originally thought that the game Halo: CE was terrible because it had come free with the X-box. Boy, was he wrong.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I am 18, I like to think I am youthful. Hopefully I still have a while before I become "old" as you describe.

YAY! Mid-30s for me. My dad even plays video games and he's in his late 50s. Before my grandpa died, he played some video games when he was in his 70s.

I think we will have 60 year old gamers in 20-30 years. OP is 60 in 24 years (sorry).


Too right mate, I will be 60 in 24 years time. No issue with you posting that at all.
Good, I was just being careful because some people are really sensitive about their age.

I thought being 22 was old, but now after hearing all you guys spout your age, I feel so much younger. Thanks for the boost!
