Will you be gaming till you die?

[flyingdutchman]

I am pretty sure I will be, I mean hell I am already 22 years old and still play games everyday. I read somewhere that the average gamer grows out of video games by age 17-18 so I gues I am somewhat past my prime.

But honestly Baseball and video games have been the dominate center of my life since my NES days so I cant see myself changing soon...

I'd guess so. I've been gaming since I was about four, and while I thought I might have packed it in when I saw the absurd price tags and lacklustre release schedules of the PS3 and X360, the Wii dragged me back. Not only that, but it's given me back my taste for gaming in general; I still very much doubt I'll be taking sides in Sony and Microsoft's petty little graphics war, but I've dug out both my PS2 and Gameboy Advance, and have purchased new games for both.

Yea, I am definitly not as big as a gamer as I used to be when I was 13 and such but I still play quite a bit thanks to the Wii.

It was a close thing for me. I really thought that I might be done with gaming, but the more and more I heard about Wii, the more excited it made me, and it really hasn't disappointed. What has surprised me is how Wii has given me back my interest in gaming in general.

I don't think I'll ever stop gaming, even if the types of games I play may change over time. I've also been gaming since I've been four/five-years young. While I have taken breaks from it, here and there, I've never really stopped, nor do I intend to do so.

One phrase will sum this up: Of course.

[Pit 42]

Absolutly. So many new and creative games are, for me, hard to pass up.

As long as there's games, i'll game. And as long as my hand work, they're already joypad shaped (Relax your hands, the with the nail of your thunmbs pointing up, touch both hands together by the fingers) and my fingers lock up on the DS, so Arthritus is a real worry.

Its in my blood and i cant get it out

Oh, definitely. I've been at it since 3 years old, just old enough to pick up an NES controller. I can't see the end in sight just yet.
