I'm really not much of a gamer at all actually. I've been working crazy hours, hanging with Jaclyn lots, hanging with other people other times and always up to something. I've got little time at all to game on any system, and little urge to do so when I do have time.
I still fire up the Xbox for an hour of time wasting now and then, and I stumbled into a copy of Spore for the PC so I tried that recently but can't remember the last time I PC gamed before that. Yes, the biggest proponent of PC gaming has fallen. When I get the chance to game, its kind of nice to not have to worry if my video card will handle it, or if it's going to conflict with something on my system, or whatever. I still prefer keyboard / mouse to console controller, and I still prefer lots of other aspects that PC gaming affords... however it's really nice that things just work. I think I just got old.

Half the people I play video games with are in their late 30's and 40's with kids and still game. Your age has nothing to do with it.

My age was the reason for drifting more towards consoles than PCs, not for having no time to game.

Dude, your lack of interest and occupying the majority of your time with other is your reason for drifting towards consoles and non-gaming in general. I'm not trying to start an argument or tell you that you should change your interests back, but people blaming age when they decide to stop doing things is a pet peeve of mine and I hate it.

Why would lack of time / interest make me go from barely PC gaming to barely console gaming? If anything it would have been cheaper to stick with what I had. No?

Normally what you say holds some merit. This is not one of those times. If you tell me that I have the same free time as I did 10 years ago, before I had a job that I have to work extra time at home for, a job that I can't go to hung over, when I can't just fake it, a second job so that I can afford extra things like a household, rent, food, a kid, baby care, diapers, clothes for said child, you're way off. Your first comment implies that my age determines inability to play games. Semantically speaking, it is not my age that stops me from doing things, but the responsibilities that come with age that does. Fact of life, and it's unavoidable, sadly.

Dude I understand what you are saying, but you seemed to have missed the point I was trying to make completely. Please point out where I said any of those things. In the two examples I made, I stated that people much older then us are capable and willing to engage in certain past times, and merely tried to make the point that age alone should not be a factor at all. Nobody is sitting here saying you have all the free time you want and can shirk responsibility to your family in order to screw around. All I'm saying is age is a non-factor, and any person in the same situation as yourself wouldn't have any more free time then you do, be they 18, 31, or 50. Your first comment implies that my age determines inability to play games. Semantically speaking, it is not my age that stops me from doing things, but the responsibilities that come with age that does. Fact of life, and it's unavoidable, sadly. I was not implying anything actually. I was using those people as an example in response to a comment made by Pete blaming age as the primary reasoning behind a change in behavior. The implication was made by the original party, I was refuting it. Regarding the rest of your comment, I totally agree and this was the point I was trying to make except I don't think any semantics are involved. Age and responsibility are not the same thing using different words. Again, I point to my previous example of a person finding themselves in your exact life situation. Do these things only happen to people in their 30's? Are they automatically thrust upon us like some second puberty? No. They are added responsibilities based on choices we make and those can occur at almost any time and almost any age. Edit: So I probably should have just re-read the thread before I wrote this long commentary. Now looking back it appears as though Tom thought I was commenting on what he wrote, but I was actually responding to what Pete said. Tom, you never even brought up age, so why would I argue it with you?

I didn't take offense to it or see your comments as "attacking", Jimbo. I didn't see it as an arguement. I just forgot that my description of 30+ is not the definition for all, and I kind of forget my place in the world at time. Sometimes I guess I place age and responsibility as the same thing using different words, when I prolly shouldn't. So I think my commentary was from my outlook p.o.v. and not one that was more objective. Now that I read back with perspective, I see your comment was directed at other comments, not mine. And after reading your comments, I see your points. They say you are only as old as you feel. I should be collecting social security any day now then.
