my mum is exactly the same dude... i turn 18 tomorrow and i still play games.
I play an online game called Rocket Arena 3.. where most of the guys that play are married men... not kids. Its just our parents never grew up with video games.. and games were introduced at a time when most of our parents couldn't give a rats ass about em, and was mainly introduced for children. Todays society however isn't like that at all, and ure mum would be surprised to see the kindof customers that go to EB games.

No ones to old to play video games. Anyone who gets enjoyment from them should be able to play. I'm 15 and spend most of my all of my spare time gaming or on gaming sites.

@roblaw

HAHA me too in regards to the good ol C64. I'm 28 and started playing games on the C64 with a cassette. We used to get mum to start loading the game while we were at school so that when we got home, it'd be ready to play. My god, thats almost the equivalent of the old peoples 'i used to walk to school in bare feet, 2 feet of snow etc...' Given that us OLD people (god...20 being old???) grew up playing video games, i'm willing to bet that we'll never get old of playing games. In fact i used to write games for the commodore 64 with my mate Danny Visser who now owns a game studio...

id say ur to old if ur reflexes are slowing down (me at 15)

nah .. there is no problem with a single person or a couple living together having an xbox or playstation to pull out for those boring nights.

Once u get married though .. no gaming till the kids get older

@ Datto, you would have had either an Amstrad cpc 464, or a 646 i think. they had a cassette drive attached to the keyboard.

@ cabbaguy hehe, i do remember the vic 20, but that was just slightly before my time, it's amazing to think it had either 1kb of ram, or was it 4kb of ram? i think it was only 1....
