If you guys seriously think I'm advocating that older folks can't play, then you're sorely wrong.

older adults don't have the dexterity/trouble-shooting skills we've established to manipulate technology.


You can back peddle until the training wheels fall off for all I care. But you made a completely bogus, ageist statement based on ignorance and I am calling you out on it /glove slap /demands satisfaction

"Older folks" are just kids that have been around longer than you. During "all that time" we haven't lost anything, we've been gaining experience. Which you will be unable to appreciate until you are "older", so shaddap.

The only advantages children have mastering video games is an abundance of free time granted by the complete lack of other worldly responsibilities. I hope your parents ship you off to a dude ranch to break your back with some hard labor this summer so you can get a good whiff of all this horse hockey you be shovelin.

If I offered your parents 10 million dollars to quit their jobs and learn to play video games they would own you every day and twice on sundays, (unless they are like elspetta, born with the tragic inability to learn combo moves.) /mourns his impairment

Well since the only video game I play is FFXI (other than skylanders with my kid) I'm not that worried about it. But thanks for your concern ...

I met my husband on XI ^-^ we were introduced through friends, and immediately clicked, months later met in rl and got married not too long after, and had a baby. She's a toddler now :3 It was funny how it all worked out, and we still play together!
Sometimes I joke that we can never quit playing cause "Look honey, it's where we first met!" :P But we share all our gear/gil and lowman everything together, so the game is a lot more fun than it was solo, so it keeps us around. Also, our toddler likes to sit there with 1-3 xbox controllers in her lap and smash buttons and pretend she's playing with us....Oh, my little fish slave in training~

I always tried to get my Mom to try it but she refused :\ She's a long time FF and other RPG fan but doesn't like people.
