Screw that! I'm planning on working for the next thirty odd years just SO I can retire and just solidly play video games.

Gaming is too much a part of culture today. We'll be like old people today, but we also won't be. Rather than complaining about "back in my day, such-and-such cost us only a nickel!" we will be be shouting "back in my day, characters were flat and only had two colours!"

This.

I'll just be one of those old people who sits and watches TV Land all day (or whatever the equivalent of TV Land in about 50 years will be).

yeah but most of us are getting to the point where we're starting to go into the wide world of either college or work, meaning we have a lot less time for games. retirement, on the other hand, doesn't have that issue

Post by: Mince Wobley on August 14, 2009, 11:24:33 pm: I don't care if right now you're not playing videogames 24/7 due to college or burger flipping as you won't do any of those things when you're 84 (or maybe you will but it's most likely you won't) so let me rephrase my question:

Will you play videogames when you're 84 and not working/colleging or do you think you'll do things old people do today like bingo?
Title: Amazing hardcore player
Post by: Frisky SKeleton on August 14, 2009, 11:30:52 pm: maybe it's only young bingo players that get to that age, real hardcore gamers do the dew

I thought about that but do old people have the fine motor skills and reflexes to play something like quake?

You, sir, have no credibility as a gamer. Surely you have played the RPGs or strategy games of our time, or as I call them, the "Chess of Games"?

Exactly. I mean if I ever get so bored when I'm that age that I turn to playing video games (especially an MMO!) "hardcore"-ly, then I'm pretty much ready for the coffin.

What about Clint Eastwood? 79 and still kicking ass and you don't go posting a topic with a link to one of his recent interviews.
