10/19   At what age did you start losing interest in console or PC games?
        \_ Not yet (26).
        \_ Try 69 years:

        \_ Woah! Your sneaky, back-handed method of polling motd ages has
           succeeded where all other attempts have failed.  Clever.
        \_ Not yet (26).  I play a lot less than I used to, though.  Like
           the poster below, I enjoy simple, old games (but for my generation,
           that means the original Super Mario and Mega Man).
        \_ ~22 (now 35), and that's because the games became too complex.  You
           have to remember the 10 buttons on the joystick and how to make
           20 moves and choose among 30 weapons.  I'd rather play something
           simple like the original Space Invaders and Pac Man.
           \_ How about Serious Sam co-op?
              \_ Or Katamari Damacy?  No buttons at all.
              \_ Never heard of it.  Forgive my ignorance.
                 \_ Frantic FPS.  Sort of like Doom on caffeine & speed.
        \_ Not yet (31).  Speaking of which, F.E.A.R. was released today:

           "this game is basically gun-porn and you'll experience multiple
           gun-gasms playing it ..."
        \_ I am still interested but haven't played in 3 years because
        \_ I am still interested but haven't played for 3 years because
           (1) don't have time, (2) getting lazy with going through the
           learning curve for the typical real time strategy games I
           like to play.  Last game played was AOE, and I can do some
           serious arse kicking. (33)
        \_ Still going @ 34 ... But my playing is very sporadic now I
           go for months without playing anything at all.
           \_ About the same, but only 30.  Every now and then I check the
              video game news and see that some game that I know something
              about came out, buy it, play for a while, and then I let the
              old ps2 collect dust for a few more months.  The less I play,
              the less games I pay attention to, the less that happens.
              It's not so much that I don't enjoy playing games, it's just
              that it takes a lot of time not only to play, but also to keep
              up with all the news and happenings.  If you don't keep up
              you just don't buy all that much.
                \_ My game playing peaked at around age 24 or so after an
                   earlier peak @ Berkeley
        \_ My desire to play video games has been pretty steadily
           decreasing since I was 20 or so.  I like them, but I usually
           have more important/funner things to do.  I pretty much stick
           with pre-PSX stuff these days.
        \_ I was a great fan of Civ III type turn based strategy games
           until I was about 32, then gradually lost interest in them.
           Have not played any in about five years now.
           like to play. (33).
        \_ 32, still play a lot of WWII FPS (mainly Forgotten Hope) online.
           Rarely interested in single-player; only when the plotline and
           gameplay is outstanding.  -John
        \_ late-30's and still play tons of PC games.  Mostly MMO now a days
           and a few console games.
        \_ 30, and still going. Mostly BF2. And I just picked up the latest
           SSX, and also F.E.A.R. But I don't buy nearly as many games as
           I used to.
           \_ If you like BF2, check out the mod I mentioned (it's for BF42,
              but they're porting it.)  A lot fewer hosers, and they try to
              add a lot of historical realism.  -John

                 \_ Ha.  It's an accuracy mod, not a simulation--they put in
                    a pink Panther and the n00b stick... -John
        \_ Not yet (30). I still play games on my Mac. I was never into
           console games.
        \_ Right around when I started getting laid.
