I think I'm getting too old for computer games

[Jon Miller]

There are large Furry and other sex related groups in Second Life.

I would expect that that type would find it as a 'better' home.

I'll be Fifty in a little over 2 years and yes my intentions are to still be playing the games

Same here. As long as Call to Power 2 works on my PC im still going to want play at least once a month.
I think many of the deep strategy games like EU2 ,HoI2,Civ4,Galciv2,Supreme Ruler2010 and of course CtP 1&2 are played by a broad age group.Never too old for these games.

Transport Tycoon 2 Deluxe FTW...

I think I'll be playing computer games until I die. I'll have the periods when I jsut don;t play for months while I keep my life on track, and I'll have the times when I play for 18 hours a day.

Lifes a balance. If I find something better to do, and i really do hope so, then gaming time will decrease, but so long as I'm doing something I want to do, I don;t care.

I counter this with the "bomb test" or the "gasoline test" or whatever... Set a "real" painting on fire and it will not exist anymore, ergo it is not real?

Now there's an interesting angle I must confess I never considered before.

I might suggest though that your friend might be better off not putting this to the test as there is the smallest possibility that the Swedish dept of Justice might interpret pulling a plug and arson slightly differently?

A resounding option 1 for me.

Now this will be a revelation of astronomical proportions for any of those who regularly delve into the depths of the games-related fora on this site.

In the region of 'Second Life' type stuff, i found this on the bbc tech page:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6344375.stm

Ref: Perplex City one of those alternate reality games. I had heard about this a few years back, and someone finaly one the prize. I wonder how much they spent on doing so?

And maybe if people ever feel too old for computer gaming, then this could be an interesting option?

Everything we do will eventually be dust.

WHY NOT HAVE FUN?

[Jon Miller]

Why not become spiritual?

or run for president/prime minister/king and make the world a better place?

There is plenty of real life stuff that we can do to make a difference in our small way - to go alongside the computer gaming of course!

[Jon Miller]

True that as well, I thought he might counter with the sun running out of fuel or something.

The point being is that video games are a decent waste of time, but not worth living for.

Why not become spiritual and have fun?

Actually, I consider the ultimate triumph of entropy in the heat death of the universe to be a great proof of the pointlessness of existance.

HAKUNA MATATA!

Well considering I am already 61, I guess the answer is yes I will be playing at 50. Actually that is about when I started playing.
