I am 30 and married and was curious if there any other late 20 or 30 somethings in the same situation i am in. Limited time and don't want to waste their online time with 10 year olds. Post your xbox gamertag here if you want a good experience while gaming.

I'm 20, but I am a mature person who hates playing with whiny little 12 year olds. Just asking though, do you have XBox Live? I ask because it would make this post of mine rather pointless if you do, as I have a PS3.

I would suggest graduating from Console Junior High. I'm glad I did a long time ago. There are far too many immature/young players on these toys and I can't be bothered by them. It wears on you after awhile. lol.gif I can't even imagine going online and hearing "yo got pwned, dog."

Thirty-four, as of last June. I despise on-line gaming, but to each their own.

I couldn't agree with you more. It nearly traumatized me. My sole on-line experience comprised of threats to firebomb my house and to "'own' my anus with a pitchfork."

 

Suffice it to say, it was an experience I sha'n't soon forget.

41 here.

 

PS3:TheOath

360:Up To The Roof

 

I will have both versions because I have friends that only have one system and its easyer for me to buy two copies of the game then for them to get a new console.

 

 

I am curious on how Home will turn out on the PS3.

26 at the moment, I believe the average age for a "gamer" is 30. good topic.

Yeah. Judging from your actions on the thread "you" helped close I'd say your more like two or three.

28 here, but the racist homophobic 14-year-olds who'd rather glitch than play (ie, half this forum) have ruined Live for me, I found I was spending more time silencing idiots and reporting douches than actually playing games - so I don't really bother anymore. GTA4 is going to be even worse than average games with this crap, so I'm certainly opting out. After 6 months with Gears I canceled my Gold account, a long time ago now. It's a damn shame, though, because I love online games in theory, I just wish Live had more filters for weeding out the morons.

Please we are trying to avoid name calling and imaturity here, I dont like the N words and other kid slang and hate, so I usually just turn off voice all together, some games are worse then others, Battlefield 2 seems fine by me.
