Poll: Gamers Over 30 Are ?Weird?
- Thread starter Meltyman

Any game has the potential to be weird. Or any person in general. No-matter what age.
Though, when I was a hardcore WoW player there were some odd 30+ guys in the guild who were obnoxious and weird. But then at the same time there were more people my age that were weird. (I'm 18).

So they asked a couple of Malibu Cougars who are probably scheduled for the 10th visit with a nip tuck doctor this year, and a closet case homo in his 60s that looks like the gay Hugh Heffner?
Am I suppose to feel insulted that I'm a 30something gamer?
lol

The poll looks like a penis hurr hurr.
I hate threads like these. They're just designed to make people rage so the OP can get a nice, shiny "hot thread" badge, or whatever.
Is watching movies when you're over thirty "weird"? No. It's just because the old people in that video grew up during a time when video games actually were for kids. I don't even blame them. It's like misogyny or racism in the 40's. It was a different time.
I know a woman in her late 60s whose favorite hobby is riding her shiny red Harley-Davison all over the US and Canada with Sturgis, S.D. being a preferred stop every August. Since she's very religious, she doesn't smoke, drink, or swear, but she does do the whole black leather thing. She's also a nurse and very mindful of personal safety, so a bright white helmet completes the picture.
Gamers over 30 are weird? Pffffft.

OT: For God's sake, is there a problem with being a child every so often? Do we always have to put on our little suits and file our papers? My brother's 25 right now, and I envision him playing video games on his deathbed. Even adults need a little bit of fun. My fun is using the computer and creating stories. My mother watches a bunch of shows online, which I don't understand why ANYONE would watch. My father indulges in mangoes and hard, fruitful work.
We all have that thing that we pleasure ourselves in, for lack of a less suggestive word. These people need to play a nice, addicting game. I've heard Pokemon is like crack.
Considering that a good amount of gamers are 30 because they gamed in their childhood, why would it be weird? Hell, why would your age make you weird when liking something?
Do not subscribe to the vocal minority instead of the silent majority. Not all kids act in that way you know.Sober Thal said:
Thats like saying Basketball players over 25 are weird.
Sure, they're past they're prime, but still human. You know whats weird? Old ladies who collect kitten sculptures. Or old people who tell you about theyre childhood 3 times in one day, and the story never changes except for how hot the day was.
Or People who spend 10's of thousands of Dollars on cripple machines. I mean, your seriously going to buy a motorcycle, not a wear a helmet, and then complain when your in a hospital? And you call gamers over 30 Weird?
So in short. No. Its not weird. Its uncommon, and possibly strange if they also watch anime and collect sexual posed figurines with big tits. But definitely not weird.

But really, shopping is overrated, unless it's for videogames or books. The celebrities I gossip about you all know well enough, notch, Nathan Fillion, Dr. Oak, etc. And I'm not yet old enough to exploit men at bars but at a party I exploited the Wii and beat some males at SSBB! So in an equally balanced world, I'm rocking it.
On the other side, I totally made a samich today.
As long as they don't live in there parents basement and their gaming doesn't get in the way of work or actual social contact and relationships.
I'm still hungry.woogit said:
OT: Yeah it's pretty weird alright, I've worked with a chap like that and frankly he was all kinds of batshit & rather up himself too.
Casual gaming is one thing, but he seemed to want all the new titles. I found him unpleasant to say the least.
it was my dad that got me into gaming on a ZX Spectrum way back in about 1984. At that time he was 34. Now im 31 still gaming and he is 65 and also still gaming. Beats me at RTS games with ease. I wouldnt call him weird weird either, he is a retired policeman who now does voulenteer work for charities.
