I was playing Runescape for a little while this evening, when some teenagers in a dungeon I was fighting wanted to chitchat.

They totally freaked to find out I was a MOM who played video games. Apparently their moms think these are evil. What's more, I had to tell them that MY MOTHER plays video games. In fact, she's been working on Baldur's

I bet if people knew how many older people played these things, they would be totally floored.
We're not supposed to play video games if we're over 30. People over 30 are supposed to complain about their kids playing videogames.
I never got the hang of this "over 30 thingy".

My mom's 63. Of course, we're a geek family. I guess that would change the rules some for us.

*LOL* Why should there be a rule that says older people can't play video games?
I guess I must enjoy breaking rules (or make my own).

Isn't the average age of gamers about 35 anyway?

[mamaslyth]

That's what I was thinking.

[ex_pumagrrl389]

Yes, I think it is, but the young gamers choose to close their eyes to that fact ...

[mamaslyth]

hehehe

Yeah. Nobody here but me and my homies.

[korgmeister]

Yeah, young gamers must be pretty stupid. They carry on about liking the old-school games. Well who do they think PLAYED them?

I mean, just yesterday I was talking at work with a Colecovision addict who was in her 40s.

[mamaslyth]

Well, I directed him to this LJ. Maybe now he'll believe that I'm a mom.
