At 42 years of age, I started with pong, and made it to Intellivision before have one hell of a break from computer games. Now that I'm back, I am really having to play catch up. Were once we had on joystick and one button on a square controller, now there is like 6 buttons, two triggers, a D-pad...the list goes on. Needless to say my game playing abilities are crap. If it weren't for you guys and the hard work you do I probably wouldn't make it out of the chair in this game. So I just wanted to say thanks. I'm sure you get plenty here, but I just felt I should state how much you help us old guys try to stay "hip". (Thats still a phrase you younk kids use right? lol)

whether it's because the buttons and game is too hard, or you just like to mod or cheat in your games......im just glad to see a old time veteran gamer like yourself keeping up with the times.... keep gaming, and you will stay young forever... lets just hope that all of us "youngsters" can be as optimistic and still gaming when we are your age.......

I hear ya dcholmes! I'm fixing to turn 60 years young and having a blast with all these games. Been playing BF3, Crysis 2, DE:HR, ME1/ME2, and really looking forward to the epic ME3 in March along with Max Paine 3 playing them on my Asus Republic of Gamers G74sx laptop.
Thanks PWizard and Cal for all the hardwork you do and to all -- keep on gaming!!!
I will be 58 in 4 months - and still "gaming" strong. But, now my likes are a bit slower - rts and rpg being the current favorites along with the all time favorite of flight sims. Love seeing that I am not the only greybeard still playing.
For myself I'm 43 years old and I can still rememebr things like pong and the old Atari 2600, you know that had a series of blocks insetad of the very high tech graphics we have today.
I've been gaming for 33 years now and probably will continue indefinitely. That you Cheat Happens for making it possible for me to play all these modern games.

I'll be 47 this summer and I've been gaming since pong.....Loved every minute of it.....even the anguish and frustration...... .....We should have an Old Gamer Alliance..
Turning 40 next year and I've been gaming as long as I can remember. The old Atari days, the Commodore Vic 20 (I even wrote my own games for that one, I loved "BASIC", NES, and I remember thinking about how real the original Prince of Persia looked on my old 486! You're never too old for gaming!!
