Doesn't matter how old you are as long as you have the ability to see, hear and your hands work properly to play games. :D

If I don't die anytime soon, I'd like to grow up to be just like the granny gamer.

I think from now onwards, we'll be seeing a lot more older gamers, seeing as gaming only really has turned huge in the last 10 years, and this generation of teenagers have grown up gaming, I'm certain that a lot of them will continue their hobby onto their 40's or even 50's.

Sorry, but you lost the ability to be cute 30 years ago. Now you just look creepy... (I'm only kidding)

I know plenty of older gamers.  My dad is 43 and has his own Xbox LIVE account.  Same with my uncles that are both 40.

I don't think you should quit gaming as Solid Snake said, but you should keep your habit under control, at the least.

There were some 40+ year olds in a hardcore raiding guild I was in on World of Warcraft. Actually, they were some of the better players, too.

Perhaps he plays games and does other things. It's not an unhealthy obsession for everyone. Not that I want to discourage people from quitting if they feel they need or ought to. We all have to judge what things are appropriate for us. For example, I didn't like what World of Warcraft did to my free time, so I cancelled my subscription.  I don't currently have any specific plans to quit gaming in general, though. Last time I sort of did that I got  way too into forums, which made me feel worse about myself than gaming ever has.

Anyway, I think gamers from nonstandard demographics could bring a bit of variety to the metaphorical table of Giant Bomb, which is a good thing.

I'm 33, married, 2 kids.

I already knew I was one of the old folks around here though.  I realized that when I read a thread bashing "kids these days". The thread was a 17 year old trashing a 12 year old.

Now get off my lawn.

Haha, I feel old here and I'm 26.

I remember when we used to have to walk uphill both ways in the snow to wait in line at Toys 'R Us for Super Mario Brothers 2. These kids with their "downloadable content" got it easy.

you might be the oldest here (no offense) but your not the oldest gamer my friend's dad is around your age and has his own 360 and XBL gamertag

I know a guy who posts and he's 40+, it's not as common as 18 and below, but there are some 30+ people in the forums out there. I'm sure the majority here will be playing games into their 40s too. I'm sure I will, in some shape form or fashion.
As far as oldest gamer here, you're the oldest I've seen the age of so far, but you said you saw a 60+ so there ya go.

Once you game you never go back...unless of course all you play is Madden...then you probably should stop before you are 30

I'm 31. Jeff Gerstmann is 33, so I feel ok :)

I'm proud of the fact that the NES pretty much owned my whole world, most of my life.

One of the dudes in my WoW Guild turned 60, during when I used to play... we threw him a WoW Raid B-day Party :)

I've fallen and I can't get up. Seriously though. Respect your elders. Some people are punk ass('s)? to their parents.
