Just tell your mum that playing games can keep your brain active and train your reflexes

homeralone said:Too old?! im 35, 2 kids, what u seem to not realise is that we were playing games before these youngins were born, it was us that put money into this industry and made it what it is today, why the hell would we stop playing?!? we are the first generation of gamers that are getting old so theres nothing to compare us to.

Anyway, we dont need to justify our hobby to anyone, do we hassle people who play with model trains, build and fly RC planes....or smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish?

So many people just sit there and smoke and drink and nothing else but thats ok in the eyes of the public! Go to hell public!
