    You're kidding, right? Maybe if you play something with an age certificate of over 3+?

    I'm 39 and up until earlier this year I was playing regularly. World of Tanks, ARMA II and DayZ were the last games I was really in to. I then bought a boat and haven't been near a game since! At least I get more fresh air these days.

    33 and still enjoying gaming. mainly BF3 on Xbox for me and really looking forward to BF4.

    If any of you guys play BF3 regularly (in the evenings when kids go to bed for me), hit me up on Xbox Live, same username as here.

    I went through exactly the same phase. It was a mixture of being at university and constantly being skint meaning I never had the time or money for games. At the time I thought I'd probably grown out of them, but now I'm nearly 32 and play games at least as much now as when I was a kid.

    Damn. I hadn't read this thread as I saw the title and thought "nah, i'm not old". Then through boredom I read it and realised I am old!

    Its like being told the truth about santa all over again *sobs* :(
