Will you always be a gamer?
On an episode of "good game" they did a segment on older people who were into gaming. My question is, if you are seriously into gaming, do you think you will always play video games, or do you think it is something you will grow out of?
I know where cartoons are concerned, If southpark is still on, I will be watching it till the day I die, I will never grow out of watching it.

I dunno. I used to be a huge gamer, not so much anymore. I mean I'm really looking forward to a multitude of games, but I've noticed that gaming isn't what it used to be. Maybe It's just fond memories amplified from when I was younger, but I just don't enjoy the hobby as much as I used to.
That said, Spore and project offset FTW. |

I don't think the gaming industry will ever die down so yes, I will be a gamer for the rest of my life.

I'll grow out of gaming, Just like my dad and everyone before him lol... I probably will mature so I will find something else more satisfying.

 from http://www.wired.com/gaming/gamingre...=5&slideView=7 I did not have a console like that, it was a cheaper rip off console which came out later, but it was played on a black and white tv, and it only had two games. One was pong like in the picture, and the other one involved a white dot floating around the screen and you had to shoot it with a gun. I don't think I had played any computer game more than that. Then when the atari 2600 came out, thats when things really started to take off.

I'll always play video games, even though I'm not as good, and will probably never be as good as I used to be.

The older I get the less I play, and if a game bores me I don't finish them anymore. I think that the gaming industry is for the most part one rehash after another but every now and then some game will come and redefine gaming in a new way and I will enjoy the title.
