Too Old to Play?

I love this place.  It is great to find a group of people that are not 12 playing Halo.  Apparently my thought that Halo was an adult game has been proven wrong since many parents allow their 11 year olds to play and use language even the harshest person on the earth wouldn't use.  (Was going to say sailor but that kinda gives sailors a bad image)

So besides being a girl I am also 31.  Not old by any standards (or so I like to think) but older than a lot that are "stereotypically" playing video games.  And yet if anyone somehow finds out my age it is always "Well...aren't you too old to play video games?" or "oh....you still enjoy that?"  Well YES I do.  Everyone has hobbies and why can't mine be videogames?  It isn't hurting anyone and it is far less expensive then some of the hobbies people have.  Plus there are other hobbies that follow people from childhood up into adult hood: riding bikes, building with legos, collection certain toys, models, etc.  And yet there isn't such a huge deal made with those.  Or at least I don't think so.

Either way....I don't think anyone is too old to do something they enjoy!  Dang it....if a 101 year old man wants to ride a roller coaster then let him! If a 110 year old woman wants to bungee jump...let her.  We have earned our way to where we are: we work and we work hard.  We have the right to some fun and if that means playing video games then PLAY ON!!

This has been a public annoucement by me, approved by me.
