well 2ish years later (after my first post in this thread) It seems I am still playing video games. Not as frequently of course, but I'm still in the loop :).

Vampdude, I'm not old, I'm middle-aged!!
I would have to say, you will find things that are better than video games. whether it be college, beer, movies, reading, or my personal favorite, significant others.
I am a dude, right, as if my name doesent give it away or anything... anyway... I used to play games constantly, get stoned, play video games... and in my spare time, I would work on my own games, well... I started school, quit working on my own games, still played em tho... then I met the love of my life, and havent touched my XBOX, GC, PS2, or PSP for games since... my girlfriend is far superior to video games ever could have been... I still use my PSP to play music, and the occasional PS1 game if I get bored enough, but man, once you find somthing better, games can go to hell lol...
thats my two cents, and I'm sticking to em... should wash em off, but I like em...
lol, middle aged is usually somewhere between 40 and 50 :rofl:Quote:

I'm losing interest at the moment, but that's only because there is'nt yet a good enough selection of Exclusive games on the Wii...
...I'm waiting for Resident Evil and Mario, which they will bring me back to my old gaming self! (hopefully)
Getting more into it than ever with all the new consoles, and going on rampages looking for old ones too!
Will men ever stop thinking about women?
I guess I´m growing out of it... I used to play a lot more video games when I was at school. Now I work at a computer all day and i´m glad when i can do somehting which doesn´t have anything to do with computer... but i still like to play arcade games sometimes
When I grow up I wanna be just like them

i dont think i ever will... im actually going to become a 3d animator, im decent with 3d models...just not the animating (whoo hoo CADD classes)
i know my ps3 wont get old (as in not being played) because i didnt eat lunch at school to get it...same for the wii. I just wish there were more games for the wii. When is Metriod: Curruption coming out? i thought it was suppost to be out by now? oh yea, mario is delayed to what september. *sigh* i guess ill just have to get used to playing Resistance, Motorstorm, and whatever else i have on the shelves at my house.
Once Bleach heat the soul 4 (PSP) comes out. Ill be fully devoted to playing that game and you probally won't see me post for a while. :D
When does it come out? (I have 1+ 3)Quote:

No, seriously though - as good as games get, I remember when I was a kid playing on my wood-effect Atari console, before I ever got my hands on a Commodore 16, and dreaming of the amazing games I could expect in the future. The Matrix, Star Trek Holo-decks, Red Dwarf TIV games, all as nothing compared to the possibilities conceived-of by my infant brain.
Now, with the way games technology has almost lived up to expectations in such a short time-frame, those possibilities are closer than ever!
I'll give up gaming when I'm bored of dreaming. :P
No way, I've been a gamer since I was 4, and I'll be a gamer forever :)
and how long ago was you 4? :pQuote:

...Wow that's my story, which I am sure there is some stuff that is missing but this is all I can remember in a span of tying this in less than 15 mins which now my brain is on the blink! :eek: :p
Wow - that's some list.
In my case, my parents weren't particularly well-off, so my gaming history is sporadic.
I had an Atari VCS (a 2600 before they were called "2600"s)... or should I say, my dad had one when I was yay-high to something not very tall. He sat up for a couple of days once, just to see what happened when you maxed-out the level counter on PacMan.
It resets to zero, by the way. He was very disappointed.
Can't be bothered trying to remember the chronology, but my history took a twist with a cast-off C16, and I reprogrammed the very BASIC 'Mr. Puniverse' so I could shortcut through a radioactive room and complete the game. I then had an Atari 520STFM, which further tickled my geeky-bone. I moved on up to the heady heights of a super-fast 16MHz (25MHz with the turbo button down) Octek 386 mainboard, custom-built PC... but I never did get around to installing a sound card.
At one time or another, I had both a Sega Megadrive and a Playstation (pre-dual-shock), and during a long, penniless stay in Ireland, my old, decrepit 386 died a noisy death - the hard-drive's heads fused to the disk one day, tore away from their armatures, and made a lovely crunching noise as they were spun into a thousand little, burned-out pieces inside the drive unit.
The Playstation (now dual-shockified) saw me through some miserable times until my return to London, whereupon I embarked on a new project. The PC I built back in 2001 is the one I'm using right now... though there is little of the original hardware installe din it any more; mainboard, CPU, RAM, hard drive, and graphics card have all been replaced in the last half a decade, such is the pace of evolution in PCs.
This Christmas gone, I purchased a PS2 for my old man. My dad has now completed Resident Evil 4's various modes (including Pro) several times, and complains that other games just don't match-up to it. I think he'll probably go in for another blast on it when he gets bored of his latest purchases.
I can't play on the PS2 for long without getting extremely frustrated with the joypad's severe limitations as compared to my trusty high-res optical mouse and keyboard (supplemented by a Thrustmaster DualPower for the odd racing game), but it keeps my dad happy for hours on end.
I never did learn much more about coding. I realised in time that I hadn't the skill or patience to code anything half as well as it had already been done a thousand times. Nowadays, my fast-aging PC gets treated more like a games console that just happens to be good at other things too.
Strange how things work out.
I dont think I'll ever grow out of video games. I'll probably slow down my playing time in a few years (i'm 25), but I dont think that quitting and not playing again is something I have in me.
And I've been free of Magic the Gathering for 2 years! Tried to quit a couple of times before and got pulled back in. At least video games didnt form horrible money costing withdrawls like Magic, since I have an extensive library of games!
Cool, I have an extended games library. I have a collection here (at my parents house), and a collection at my grandparents house...Quote:

I'm addicted to videogames! (both new and old) :D
I have many, many games. Not nearly as many as I would like though :D
Cool, why don't you have as many as you would like? I have more than enough games to start a small Retro-Rental service, thou I would "never" lend any of my games to anyone (because I'm like that) :DQuote:

If games just start to miraculously just get terrible, I don't see an end for me.
lol - if Vampbri-n gets that job, and Nintendo's games just start to get terrible, then you know who to blame! (only messing, Vampbri-n) ;)
