Well sometimes when I play Pokémon, or games period, I see my elders which I mean seniors, playing games. Well I really don't want to be rude, or anything, but I thought it was pretty weird, because he was like 50 years old. If this is not allowed Local Mods : Well anyways just state if you think it is weird when you see this type of stuff. I do, because it just seems that most seniors these days are not into technology, like us younger people. That is why I said that, so if you agree tell me why, if you disagree still state a purpose please.

Summons won't really work if not made at the start of a new line. It should be like this

Juliet : Summoning myself xD

^It's at the start of the line, see?

Anyway, gotta move it to its appropriate forum.

linkmaster99 : I don't think it's weird that Elders are playing Pokémon.
If someone love to play it then I say that they must do that.

One I think that individual was lying about there age. And I've seen a member that was 99 years old playing Pokémon(which that was a clear lie) and I've seen a girl claimed to be 22 say in game chat she was 12. And no I don't find seniors playing games that young people do weird because they didn't have the kind of games and such we have when they were growing up, so they want to enjoy some of our games.

I don't find it that strange as the average age of gamers now days is 28, plus 51% of 36-50's play games too.Remember the older generation were playing games while a lot of us were still in nappies

Hello there & How are you ? .. I'm fantastic! ..

I actually don't mind my elders playing games such as Pokémon; they can make the game a lot more fun and may know exactly what to do, and therefore can help you!

I do see where you're coming from though! Sometimes it can be creepy to see 50 YEAR OLDS playing games like that. But hey, they're just getting ready for their the pension years

(This is a story by the way explaining why I think this) I made that mistake once thinking that was weird I mean I came home from school and found a old man playing my nes by him all my old game consoles with all my games and they were sorted by year and this guy was playing Earthbound I was confuse at first And I asked him what he was doing in my house and he said he was invited here and I told him Old guys Can't play my game (I was 9 at the time don't blame me) and he said so I can still play. As I was very young I thought I should prove him wrong. So I said you think you are so good try and beat me at bomber man. And he beat me every time never loss once! I then challenged him to Pokémon He killed me so fast. Then I challenged him to play super man 64 (this was very funny to me) He then said:"I ain't going through a bunch of hoops! I kept challenging him to every game I had and  he beat every time1 then my mom came home and she said that she had invited this guy to help me win some games that I was screaming about when I loss that guy was actually my grandpa and he helped me beat the games I was stuck on so now I do not think that is odd. This has been an extremely long Message by Paper Luigi.

More older people are playing games now due to the fact that some of them who are in their fifties actually invented some of them. It was their generation that pioneered video games.

My pop is the same age as "Jackie Chan" and he is very aggressive with Flight simulator games. I tried to get him on-line to compete with "Star-Fox" fans But he favours the old W.W.2 Fighters and games focused around real missions and such. (Trust me when the term "escort mission" was ever a pain in the but. But for him? They are a walk in the park.) If it gets too easy he just bumps up the difficulty.

Another Game he favours is the Electronic Chess Master Games.
He does really good. Almost at "Bobby Fisher" level. (But He sometimes looses to the computer at the hardest difficulty setting.)
I can not beat the Chess Machine at level 4 and my pop can crank the machine up to level 8 and beyond.

And yes. Like the "A.V.G.N." My dad was better at "Top Gun" Than I was too.

I almost got him hooked onto "Zelda 1" (Yes he can complete the thing.) but he found the music too annoying to bother updating to any of the others in the series. (He is an excellent guitarist so don't write off his musical taste yet. He just likes real instruments is all.)

He's the one that got me hooked onto "Descent" for the P.C. (So I am certain he could fair well with the "F.P.S." crowd.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUHOlh2WMds

That and..
You should see him on "Medal of Honour" for the "Playstation 1". Finished the thing before I did. (And he only plays games for 30 minutes to 2 hours a week.)
(He might have did an all nighter and kept quiet about it. You show him W.W.2 stuff? And the dude just zones out. He studies that stuff with a fine tooth comb.)

A Game that I thought that would never have a sequel but he was great at?
"Command And Conquer" for the P.C.

When he was in his 20's and 30's he just messed around with games.
After he hit 40?

He decided to get Knee Deep into Computers?
Allot of dudes get a Motorcycle but my pop already had one of those when he was a teen.
No major thrills there him. (Did that. Been there.)

So, No it is not an oddity to see people older than I play games.
Good Luck.

Good Luck To All.
I'm done. Stick a fork in me.
Peace.

I don't think it's that weird to see a senior playing any kinds of video games, I would get it to see them playing 1st/2nd generation video games because that's what they played around the time they were young, but you rarely see and play any 6th/7th/8th generation video games.

For me, I haven't seen any seniors over 65 that played modern games.

I don't mind it at all video games can be used by anyone no matter how old they are but sometimes I think it is weird when I see some 5 year old playing a mature game like Slender.

I don't care at all if I see an older people playing a game. I don't see it as being strange of bizarre. Although, usually younger people play games, most games can be enjoyed by many age groups.

Well, I guess it's not weird to see elders playing video games. It's especially normal if the elder is playing their retro childhood games.

It doesn't matter if someone is young or old! Gamers are gamers forever!

Yeah, I mean it might look a little odd at first, but the age doesn't matter, if they are 105 years old that doesn't mean that they can enjoy their favorite games in their childhood. I think that it is okay and that it is perfectly fine for elderly people to enjoy games just like everyone else. I don't have a problem with it. No matter how old, they can still enjoy awesome games from when they were younger!

I think it is pretty weird and a little suspicious. When I see a senior on vizzed playing retro games it makes me think the user lied about his/her age.

No, not necessarily. My dad is in his 50's, and he still plays games every now and then. I think it's pretty funny. Not creepy. just kind of funny when you see them rage. XD
