The Official "I'm becoming an old bastard" thread

[Yakumo]

Thats right, when you become 1 year older then this is the place to post.

Today I turned 29 and to be honest it doesn't seem that long ago when I first really started getting in to games with my Master System back in 1986 (I think). I do feel a little odd going to arcades now. Not because I look the oldest but because I am actually old to be playing games in the eyes of many westerners. But you know what? I don't give a shit :-D Keep those games goming until I'm 6ft under I say :smt023

Happy birthday. Aye, seems weird thinking back to earlier years.

And today I turned 20. Maybe some other time I'll try to write about how much I feel that I'm getting older, but now I'm just too sleepy :-D

I guess I should do my grumpy old man voice, as I'm a good 8 months or so older than you. Yes, I'm hitting 30 early next year, and I spend hundreds of dollars on old 16-bit games.

[dj898]

they said men shall never get old... how true.. :smt043

missus always make fun of me with my video game and chogokin toys... :-D

[djb1986]

Don't worry too much about the age thing. I'm about your age and I still buy, collect and play games.
The hobby is becoming more accepted and let's hope it continues!

Happy birthday for you two! :drinkers:

You should feel old! I'm half as old and twice as awesome! :smt042

Just kidding, doesn't matter how old you are. Happy birthdays to everyone! Get smashed! :drinkers: :drinkers: :smt023

[Greatsaintlouis]

Well, I guess I shouldn't be bitching that much... I turned 21 two days ago, the 19th, but I still feel rather old - plus there's the whole, "I've been around over two damn decades and have shit to show for it!" thing as well..

Anyways, happy birthday to you, Yceman, and Anti as well (I believe)!! Everyone have an awesome day, bottoms up :drinkers: and remember, Guinness tastes like shit!! (birthday story for another day)

Happy birthday Yakumo. :smt023

It may sound stupid, but sometimes i feel old myself too (and i'm only 23). Here in Brazil most people think i'm too old for playing games, but most of my friends don't think there's a problem with that.

Even my girlfriend like games, so that's ok.

[Survival Tobita]

This "too old for games" thing is a concept that I believe is quickly dying. What are you supposed to do, sit there and watch vapid sitcoms and "reality" TV? I'd think a good number of the people who'd say those sorts of things do just that. So fuck 'em. :smt045
