I'm 14 and I know people about 30 who still play...
It has to be when you feel like you shouldn't be gaming any more.

only when you feel like it... life is way to short and shit to not be doing what you want, who gives a shit what other people think, if they are judging you for being a gamer at a certain age they probally have a shit life to be judging people like that anyway. Live it, love it, enjoy it, just do what you feel like doing in your life, you live once...

Gaming has no age limit. I will quit when my fingers curl up and my hands turn cold.

On topic: Everybody should be able to decide how much and when they can play online games. Much like everyone is allowed to have children when they want. Most people will know if they should or shouldn't play/repopulate. But some that shouldn't still will.

Off topic: Ok. Thanks for the Neg whoever. I like it very much. This is my Karma, this is my life. There are many like it but this oneKarma is mine. My Kama is my best friend. It is my life. I must master my Karma as I master my life. Limp bizkit (Old stuff) Still Rocks.

Im 19, about to go to boot camp, and I think gaming is about to reach its apex for me. I am going to go to quakecon this year, but I dont think im gonna drop 2.5 g's to build a balls to the wall rig. Mine plays bf2 and thats okay with me, I would have the money to build some insane shit with my bonus from the Army, but I think that money would be better for saving, I mean for 2.5 g's I could get a motorcycle or something way more badass. I love video games, and I always will, but I think im gonna stick to consoles for a while.

Gaming is 24/7 for me, any chance I get at it I do. Even in my old age I'll be trying to keep up with them whipper snappers! When I die, I'll be found infront of my computer..cause of death: brain failure due to too many overdoses of giving out ownage, sad..yet true

I wanna go out either having sex, or playing an online game where teamwork is really necessary, and I kill over on the keyboard, alert the enemy to our position, and then all our characters die. Poetic.

It's fun to kick the shit out of ANYONE when you are 25. And it's STILL Fun to kick the shit out of them when you are 65.

Shit man, when I was 25 it was 1990.

The internet was still under development and mostly used to connect universities. Personal use was just becoming a possibility. Windows had just released Windows 3.0. PC gaming was extremely limited with very limited graphics. Consoles ruled the roost as far as gaming. AMD was building x86 processors like the AMD 386DX which ran at 40MHz. Memory of less than 1Mb was standard.

1991
January
Commodore Business Machines unveils the Amiga 3000UX, with a Motorola MC68030 25 MHz processor, 68882 math coprocessor, UNIX System V Release 4, Open Look, and Ethernet support. Cost is US$5000, without a monitor.

All I can say is that I'm damn glad I didnt give up on gaming at 25. Hell, I was just warming up! Gaming is a very enjoyable part of my life which I will never leave behind. I may have taken on other hobbies (such as skydiving) and devoted more time to them but never to the exclusion of gaming. Gaming allows us to interactively feel and experience situations that are not possible IRL such as running in a NASCAR race, piloting a spaceship, doing battle with modern day weapons, recreating WWII battles, the imagination is the only limit here. Shit man, that's pretty fucking good if you ask me! Why would you ever leave that behind? Wait till you get there and you'll see that it's not likely to happen.

As I said before, I'll be done gaming when I'm dead.

34 married with a baby on the way. My generation grew up with the first video games, hell I remember playing Pong for the first time! I still have my Intellivision in my garage, haven't decided if I want to sell it on Ebay or hook it up to my garage TV...

I'll stop gaming when they pry my mouse from my cold, dead fingers!

37 and two kids.
I game after they go to bed and maybe my sex life has suffered somewhat. Fuck it. My wife crashes a 9.
For awhile I was spending more time here than on the game, but I'm over it. There are too many assholes who jump on you with the hate and karma bullshit for expressing opinions.
Stupid ass America hating wankers have taken the fun, and the serious debate out of these forums.
Heres what I mean from this morning
Today 09:21:04 -1 Iraqi Troops Killed 2 U.S. Soldiers your posting shouldn't be tolerated either. Love, Ikarti
Today 02:26:02 -1 Iraqi Troops Killed 2 U.S. Soldiers american troops have killed more americans then that :\ retard
Today 02:18:35 -1 Iraqi Troops Killed 2 U.S. Soldiers your face offends me, be quiet fool! and also, did you ever think that you wouldnt be in that situation if you hadnt waltzed into iraq like its your background sandpit eh? bloody americans!
Today 01:52:06 -1 Iraqi Troops Killed 2 U.S. Soldiers fuk america - Spark

To hell with this I need some intelligent interaction and I've come to the wrong place.

Man if you think BF2 is bad, check out MMO's. I know guys in their 30's that spend like...10 hours a day playing them. It's...scary? to say the least.

As for BF2...I believe I'll be hanging up my spurs when I get married. If my girlfriend knew how much I played know she'd laugh her tits off at me (she's the classy kind of girl who wears lingerie and thinks games are for kids) *sigh*. I'll take my woman in frilly panties over knifing one of you guys - sorry.

Well here it is I am getting up there in years at the age of 23 and I am married with out kids. I dont feel like its time for me to hang it up because I enjoy it more than ever and I am getting better at building my own machines. I have been in clans where there are people over 40yrs old which is fine but at what age is it time to move on? I also have a lot of friends who play that piece of shit world of warcraft and are wasting thier lives sitting at a computer screen. I honestly feel that there is no age limit and that it depends on the person but like anything else its important to manage your life accordingly. Tell me your age and where your at in life. Also add if you feel like gaming has held you back or helped you out in some way.

stopped reading after this one.

i was once in a clan with a person of over 80...... i bet he wont stop gaming till he died
