Any other older gamers? (1 hour left)

You're not. I do "big" games (the ones requiring tens of hours to complete) when I'm on sick leave or on vacation.

I should marry rich and quit work. That would probably help.

I am denintely in the older gamer category, but still unattached so I get to try and squeeze in gaming a little easier than most =).

You're still young by my standards. Most of the people in my gaming clan are around your age, and they also have jobs, family, chores, and sometimes school. It's all part of being in that age group.

Not looking forward to this when I grow older D:

I don't want to grow up!

well most of the older gamers the i play with (im 32) set aside a hour or so before they go to bed after there kids are asleep and play games that they can go afk as needed for example eve online you can afk mine in hisec but their are other games that you can do the same type of thing

All I can say is that it usually gets better as the kids get older. I have two kids that are now 13 and 16. They are a handful but they've both grown up around my love of all things gaming-related and are of course themselves into games. My son and I now play Counter-Strike: GO together and he finds my stories of "how Counter-Strike used to be" fascinating.

I know 10 years seems like a long time now, but honestly with kids the time will fly by and before long you'll be wishing they were 6 again.

I'm 29 and I don't have kids, school or work. So plenty of time to play:)

Thanks for Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War - Game of the Year Edition.

I have 27 years and i loved NES platform and i was amazed with games that were released in year i did born alike, Balloon Fight, Ghosts 'n Goblins and Donkey Kong. Anyway i cant forget the epic moments that was supplied from games like ninja gaiden 2 or super c from NES as well. I also played cool games on Gamer Gear, Game Boy, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast and my last console was PS2 then i became only PC gamer.
It's easier to remember cool moments in old games, meanwhile the moments from the new triple A games of this era are easily to forgot.

I'm 25

My kids are adults (24 & 20) now, but I played lots games with them in the past!
My eldest son is a student games design atm and his younger brother is writing a lot for a few big game websites in our country. Probably when I didn't buy them lots of games, consoles and computers they would maybe became very different people.
I love games :)

Sounds like you are doing better then me (sacrificing me time over family time I mean)

Back when I played EverQuest there were three generations of a family in the one guild I was in, 19, 54, and 70ish, also grouped with a 60 year old, those two were definitely the oldest I've seen gaming that I've actually played with online

I'm 33 and without any real world commitments other than a dull job. It leaves plenty of time for gaming, but I seem to end up spending more of my time cooking.

At 15-18 years you will have plenty of free time!

33, married, no kids; games and academia don't really go well together. classes, phd, articles, excavation don't leave me much time for gaming; I can still play games but not even close to what I used to before.

34, but I'm single with no kids and have no plans on changing that fact.

I am 36, but I am a stay at home mom of two teenagers that go to school online, while I am also completing an online Bachelor's degree so I do manage to squeeze in quite a few hours every week on my PS3.

36 and MUST OWN ALL TEH GAEMZ! well.. the good ones that is.

I am 51. I started playing video games at the arcade (pong, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Robotron) and haven't stopped playing since. I was a pinball and baseball (table version) junkie before that as a kid.

You have made me re-think having children.

Gotta give you respect for being able to take care of all 3 kids! I'm still young (20) but I actually look forward to growing up and settling down. I'm honestly more attracted to having kids and responsibility than video games. (I know I'm weird)
